Encoding Settings in HD Projects
Because an HD project can use assets with a wide variety of video resolutions, the Encoder
Settings dialog contains a Resolution pop-up menu that shows the asset’s resolution.
You are also able to change an asset’s video resolution by choosing a setting from the
Resolution pop-up menu.
SD resolution assets (720 x 480i and 720 x 576i) in HD projects can use a bit rate up to
15 Mbps. The Bit Rate setting in the Encoder Settings dialog will not go beyond 15 Mbps
when an SD resolution is chosen.
Important:
Encoding an asset at a resolution other than its native resolution may result
in unacceptable artifacts appearing in the video.
