Preserve Aspect Ratio Using
Specifies an option if the movie needs to be scaled to the new pixel dimensions.
Letterbox scales the source proportionally to fit into the clean aperture, adding black bars to the top and bottom or

Specifies the frame rate for the playback of your exported video. Usually, your video looks better if you

Specifies that keyframes are generated automatically or specifies how frequently keyframes are created in
