A master chef always tastes a variety of samples before finalizing a recipe. A master video compressionist does the same thing.
That’s why DV Kitchen includes SampleLab™ . . . the only tool in the world designed to help you determine the best encoding setting for your video.
SampleLab allows bitrate data size/quality trade-offs to be gauged quickly and accurately. It’s simple to use but incredibly useful, and therein lies its genius – MacUser UK review
Once you export a finished video from your editing software, quality to your viewers is determined by three factors:
1. Codec (the encoding algorithm used)
2. Bitrate
3. Frame size
In this screencast we walk you through the process of using SampleLab™ to easily compare encoding recipes based on different combinations of those ingredients and quickly zero in on the ideal settings for each video you encode.
