1920 x 1080 HD settings

Even if you had a 2K or 4K project use the HD 1920 x 1080


Choose H.264 as your codec unless you have a NTSC project (720 x 486)

then keep reading

Note NTSC non HD projects you have to choose Mpeg


Choose Mpeg if you want to be able to play on all computers Choose DNxHR for a higher quality file. 

But AVID codecs have to be installed to play it. 

It also will not open in QuickTime Player only in VLC
