Video Quality Settings

Click any of the four options to choose the quality of video that you want to post on the Internet. You can select more than one option.   A separate video will be created for each selected option.  If you choose all four options, four different videos will be created - one for each quality.

The quality of the video determines:

•	How the video looks.

•	How much space the video takes up in your web hosting account.

•	How long it takes to transfer the video(s) from your computer to the Internet. The speed of your Internet connection also helps determine the transfer speed.

•	How long it takes to transfer the video from the Internet to the recipient’s computer. The speed of the recipient’s Internet connection also helps determine the transfer speed.

Base your choice on the people you think will be watching your videos. For example, if your friend has a slow Internet connection (like a 28Kbps modem), choose to create a medium quality video because it takes less time for them to download it from the Web site. If they have a high-speed connection, choose the better or best quality.

It can take a long time to upload multiple videos, especially if your original video is a long one.

Note:

The settings that you establish will apply to all Intel® Create & Share® applications that allow you to upload videos to the Internet.
