   • CineForm: If your goal is to reduce the video size without compromising its quality, choose this codec.
   • HEVC: This is a comparatively newer codec. It also provides a higher compression without impacting the overall video quality. Compared to the CineForm codec, HEVC transmits your videos at a reduced bit rate.
   • H264: This video codec is widely used across consumer devices and Web streaming portals. It provides a balance of both compression and video quality.
7. Specify a new video resolution between 5.6k and 4k. Or you can go for custom resolution by selecting the Custom option.

   • 4k: 4k resolution is frequently in use all over the Internet. It gives you a balanced, higher video quality (although lower than 5.6k resolution). And it takes less storage space & low processing power.
8. For 360 audio, make sure that the 360 audio checkbox is checked.
