Resolution defines the pixel dimensions of a video frame, typically expressed as width × height (e.g., 1920×1080 for Full HD). It directly affects image sharpness and clarity.
Resolution determines detail, clarity, and suitability for different screens. Higher resolution footage looks cleaner and more detailed, especially on modern displays. It also impacts file size, rendering time, and streaming bandwidth. Shooting or exporting at the wrong resolution can make your video look blurry or oversized.
Select your project resolution based on delivery platform:
1080p is standard for most content
4K for cinematic or premium work
720p or lower for quick-loading or mobile-first platforms
Note - Always match resolution to both your source footage and delivery platform.
Match acquisition to delivery – Shoot at the highest resolution needed, but tailor final exports to distribution specs.
Avoid unnecessary upscaling – Don’t enlarge low-res footage; it reduces quality without adding detail.
Balance with file size – Choose resolution appropriate for bandwidth, storage, and playback needs.
