H.264 Codec Export Profiles

When exporting a clip as an H.264 in QuickTime, you can use one of the pre-configured H.264 codec profiles.

Note: The H.264 codec profiles are xml files stored in /opt/Autodesk/mediaconverter/<release_version>/profiles/QuickTime/video/H264.

The Suggested Clip Resolution guides you in the selection of a target resolution for the output. Using a different resolution can have unexpected results.
