The bit rate that we encode video files at

00:10

for playback can be set using the target playback

00:13

bitrate setting.

00:15

All folders are set to medium bitrate by default.

00:18

But if you'd like, you could change this on a folder by folder basis.

00:22

To do so, first click on the folder,

00:24

you want to change on the left while on the desktop tab

00:27

and then click the upload options icon on the right.

00:33

At the top, you'll see a drop down menu which gives you four tiers to choose from:

00:37

low,

00:38

medium,

00:40

high,

00:41

and very high.

00:42

The kilobits per second displayed next to each tier are all for standard SDR format.

00:48

If you're uploading in HDR or 4K, the details of these tiers are different.

00:53

For more on the specifics, please see our video upload doc

00:57

linked below.

00:59

Note that with increased bit rate comes an increased

01:02

bandwidth requirement for the viewers streaming the video.

01:05

Meaning you will need to strike a balance when deciding which tier to set.
