The most important question at this point is: what settings should be selected? You can select 4K, HD 720P, Full HD 1080P, and many other resolutions based on your needs To put it another way, selecting 4K will cause your video to be rendered in its highest resolution, which calls for a more advanced hardware setup like only on specific smart 4K TV, High HD display computers and etc; selecting HD 720, on the other hand, will cause it to be rendered in its lowest resolution, making it suitable for usage with a less technical setup like basic smartphones, old computer, tabs. We can use FHD 1080p for learning and exploring; it is an intermediate resolution that is commonly used on YouTube, social media, television, and some movies. There are several project settings under FHD 1080p, Let's select HD 1080p 25 frames profile.
