- [Instructor] I'm going to show you how to create
what I call a future-proof final cut.
What I mean by this is a rendered copy of my project
at the highest resolution available.
I can use all or part of it in a future project,
I could share it with clients or coworkers
or I could upload it pretty much anywhere.
Basically, I'm going to export with the settings
as high as they will go.
And here in my final project,
I'm going to start by clicking Export,
and I'm going to choose Local File.
From the dropdown,
I'm going to go with Add/Edit preset,
and create a new preset.
Now, you can name this whatever makes sense to you.
I'll call it Corbin Future Proof.
I'm going to choose MP4,
Next.
I don't want the controller, so I'm going to uncheck that.
For the size, you can leave this as is,
it will use your editing dimensions.
For my video settings,
my frame rate of my project is 30 frames per second,
so I'm just going to leave it at that.
I'm going to change my key frame to every one second.
We will leave the H264 profile at baseline.
I'm going to change the level to 5.1.
Now here at Quality, I'm going to bump this all the way up
to 100%, and I'm going to ignore this little warning here,
because I want the highest resolution available.
I'm willing to sacrifice size for quality.
and I'm going to actually change this to HDTV.
I've had a little better success with that.
And in the next tab here for Audio settings,
I'm going to take this all the way up.
I want my audio as clear as possible. Next.
Okay, so now I've created my preset
and I can use it for any of my projects.
When I'm ready to export, I go to Export, Local File again,
but from the dropdown, instead of New,
I'm going to choose Corbin Future Proof.
Next.
I'm going to name it Camtasia Advanced,
but I'm going to call this Future Proof,
that way I will know what it is.
Name it something that makes sense to you.
Browse here to my desktop, put it in my working folder.
And I don't like
the Organize produced files into sub folders,
it just makes another level of folders
which I don't need for this,
so I'm going to uncheck it,
do what works for you, and click Finish.
Now, this part should be nothing new to you.
Render time will of course depend
on the length and complexity of my project
and my computing power.
When it's finished, here in my folder I have a high-res copy
that I can archive for safekeeping and future use.
