Codecs, bit depth, and bitrates don’t have to be confusing. In this session, Eric Peng cuts through the technical jargon to explain what these settings actually mean - and how they impact image quality, file size, and workflow. Learn the real-world differences between H.264 and H.265, 8-bit vs 10-bit vs 16-bit color, and constant versus variable bitrates (CBR vs VBR). This presentation is perfect for creators who want to make smarter decisions when shooting, editing, and exporting video - without overcomplicating the process.
