Definition
Export presets are pre-configured bundles of export settings — including resolution, aspect ratio, frame rate, codec, bitrate, and file format — optimized for specific distribution platforms or use cases. Instead of manually configuring technical export parameters for each platform (YouTube recommends H.264 at specific bitrates, TikTok requires 9:16 at 1080x1920, Instagram has different specs for Reels vs. Feed), export presets apply the optimal settings in one click. Presets eliminate the guesswork and technical knowledge required to produce platform-compliant video files. Without presets, creators risk uploading videos that get re-encoded by platforms (reducing quality), display incorrectly (wrong aspect ratio), or are rejected entirely (unsupported format or resolution).
How Loopdesk Uses This
Loopdesk includes platform-optimized export presets for YouTube (4K, 16:9), TikTok (1080p, 9:16), Instagram Reels (1080p, 9:16), YouTube Shorts (1080p, 9:16), Facebook (various), LinkedIn (1:1 and 16:9), and more. When you publish or export, you simply select the target platforms and Loopdesk handles all technical settings automatically — resolution, bitrate, aspect ratio, codec, and format. Combined with AI reframing, one edit becomes publish-ready files for every platform without any manual configuration.

Video Codec
The technology that compresses video into a smaller file and decompresses it for playback — e.g. H.264, H.265, AV1, ProRes.
Bitrate
The amount of encoded video data per second, often measured in Mbps; it influences compression quality and, with duration, file size.
Frame Rate (fps)
The number of video frames captured, encoded, or displayed per second (fps), affecting motion cadence and the options for slow motion.
