Notes
The simplest way to create a screening ready file is to use the Vimeo or YouTube 1080p HD preset in your video editor of choice. Pro Tip: You can alter the Variable Bit Rate (VBR) setting to Constant Bit Rate (CBR) to save you some render time if getting your film in on time is looking close.
