5. You may want to hide a few pixel at top and bottom with a black mask, this is handy for hiding time code and head switch points -
6. Now load the Pal template and save it as a custom template once you made some changes, this way you can load the custom template for future projects -
7. If you have a fast computer, VBR makes sense with the following settings - but Constant Quality and Constant bit rate give very good results.
