MS 2023 Platinum.
When you import the first video to a project, you are offered the chance to make the project match the video.
Does this set all the parameters, such as data rate etc? So assuming I use the same video format as the import, when exporting, does it retain quality?
Alternatively is there a way to set the quality of the exported video?
Thanks for any help

Nick, the data rate is not considered when the program sets the "movie" settings (not "project" settings) and monitor to match the imported clip, so quality is neither retained or reduced by the act of importing a file. The settings that are adjusted are those shown on the E screen (File>Settings>Movie): Frame size (width and height), frame ratio and frame rate.
The exported quality is controlled solely by the export dialogue (eg the format, MPEG 4, HEVC, WMV) and in particular the Advanced screen, where you can set such things the bit rate and the coding quality. The higher the bitrate you set/accept, the better the quality.
AHHH. OK I had not seen the Advanced tab.😳 Thanks muchly. I found it tough to believe that something was not there.
