common to use 29.97 fps for NTSC video
going back out to a VCR in North America.
As with Frame rate, a larger Frame size
yields a larger file size. It’s best to try to
render your video with the same frame rate
and frame size as when captured. This results
in the highest quality video and the quickest
rendering times. In the Storyboard mode,
select a clip and click the Clip properties
button to find out about these settings.
Advanced
In this tab, you can specify the data rate of
your video file by targeting a specific medium
for play back. Data rate is calculated in
kilobytes per second (Kb/Sec) of data that
needs to move from your source (disk drive,
CD-ROM, modem, etc.) through your
computer. If you have a Target playback
device in mind right now, select it from the
list. You can set the Tolerance to let the data
vary a little, otherwise Ulead VideoStudio
will stop and warn you if the data rate is too
high. It may well be impossible to compress
640x480 30 fps video down to a data rate of
150 Kb/Sec, but this depends on your video
(e.g. whether it has a lot of action) and how
much quality you feel you can sacrifice.
Compression
This is where you choose the codec, or type
of compression software, you’ll use to create
your video. All digital video is compressed in
some way, and the video clips you captured to
your computer are already using some kind of
codec. To maintain the highest possible
quality and keep render times to a minimum,
it is best to use the same codec to capture
