Matt!!! I just wanted to say thank you for making such great videos! My new design job is demanding much more video editing than my last one, and my skills are very rusty. While I've been working hard to dust off the cobwebs, I've come upon issues that in the moment feel overwhelming and unsolvable. After hours of frantic googling, I always seem to land upon your YouTube which always has the answer. So, I just wanted to let you know that you're the best! I'll be making sure to come here first from here on out.

Matt. I followed everything. But YouTube shows my short in 720p and the quality looks horrendous!!

I've gotten frustrated and discouraged several times over the past few years because of exporting issues... I think you solved that. Thank you so much!

You are so nice, solve me problems and dont bs about some dumb comedy skit or whatever the other tutorial dudes do. Bless you homie <3

Hey Matt thanks for the share. I came to find that under "Encoding Settings" if you set the "Level" to "4.2" and "HDR Graphics" to "203" the video quality is much more crisp and it retains all of the original file detail and with your settings it takes away a bit of quality. Its not a lot but that was my observation. Thought I'd share, not sure if my settings will look different after the compression but anyway guess will find out.

Once again, thanks a lot! :)
