AVID - How to Check the Format of Your AVID Project

If you had a NTSC project choose 720 x 486 for example

Note

Vimeo / YouTube uploads use 1920 x 1080 HD settings

Even if you had a 2K or 4K project use the HD 1920 x 1080

Note NTSC non HD Projects you should also choose 4:3 as the aspect ratio 

For everything else leave 16:9

Color Space Choose Rec. 709

Keep as Legal Range

Choose H.264 as your codec

One note on Windows if unless you have a NTSC project

your choice of codecs is either Mpeg or DNxHR

Choose Mpeg (720 x 486)

then keep reading

Note NTSC non HD projects you have to choose MJPEG

Choose MJPEG if you want to be able to play on all computers 

Choose DNxHR for a higher quality file. 

But AVID codecs have to be installed to play it. 

It also will not open in QuickTime Player only in VLC

Choose Constant Bit Rate for a faster export but a larger file.

MJPEG Best Quality
