NOTE:
If you resize a video clip's frame size, and do not select the Maintain Aspect Ratio check box,
the video may become distorted.
• Specify values for Width and Height. You can specify a frame size in pixels or as a
percentage of the original image size.
• If you are done specifying advanced encoding settings, click Next to move to the next panel
of the Video Import wizard, or select either the Cue Point or the Crop and Trim tab to further
modify the video's encoding settings.
Specifying advanced audio encoding settings
The audio encoding settings portion of the dialog box is automatically selected when an audio-only
file is added to the encoding list (this portion of the dialog box is disabled when encoding video
content without a combined audio track).
NOTE:
You can select an encoding profile from the Flash Video encoding profile pop-up menu,
which will set a corresponding profile for the audio-only encoding format.
To specify custom audio encoding settings:
If the Encode Audio check box is not selected, select it to activate the advanced audio encoding
options.
The Encode Audio check box should be selected by default. The default audio codec is MP3.
NOTE:
If the source video file has no audio track, or if you are encoding MPEG-1 files on a
Macintosh, the audio encoding settings portion of the dialog box is disabled.
Select a data rate from the Data rate pop-up menu.
The data rate is the bit rate of the MP3 audio stream. Better quality audio tracks, such as music and
significant background noise, require a higher bit rate. Simple dialogue, such as with a "talking head"
shot, can be compressed to a much higher degree. Higher bit rate settings (encoded at 80 Kbps or
higher) are encoded in stereo, while lower bit rate settings (encoded at 64 Kbps or lower) are
encoded in mono.
Click Next to move to the next panel of the Video Import wizard, or select another of the Advanced
Settings tabs to further modify the video clip.
