It comes with a vast assortment of presets, from the standard H.264 or YouTube options, to animation presets (which preserve a project’s transparency), audio only choices, exporting back onto a camcorder, onto a DVD, and even has legacy, lossless and stills options.Īnd that’s not all: with the Advanced button selected, you can also fine tune your chosen preset - although this would be solely recommended for those who know what they’re doing! Final verdict When it’s time to share your work with others, the Export feature is there, ready and waiting.
