Export Specs per Platform

Each platform has optimal specs: resolution, frame rate, codec, bitrate. Wrong specs = compression artifacts, quality loss.

Platform specs (2026)

Platform	Resolution	FPS	Codec	Bitrate
YouTube long-form	1080p or 4K	24/30/60	H.264 or H.265	8-12 Mbps
YouTube Shorts	1080×1920	24/30/60	H.264	5-8 Mbps

Codec selection

1. H.264 (AVC) — universal, good quality, smaller files
2. H.265 (HEVC) — newer, smaller files, but slower export
3. ProRes (Apple) — quality, larger files (for archival)
4. DNxHR (Avid) — alternative pro codec
5. VP9 / AV1 — newer web codecs (YouTube/streaming)

Export checklist

1. Resolution matches platform target
2. Frame rate matches source
3. Codec compatible with platform
4. Bitrate appropriate
5. Audio: AAC, 320 kbps stereo
6. Container: MP4 (universal)
7. File size manageable (<5GB usually)
