Tips for Editing Your MPEG Files

Editing MPEG files can be a breeze with the right tools and techniques. Here are some specific tips to help you get the most out of your MPEG editing experience:

  • Use Proxy Files: Create lower-resolution proxy files for smoother editing, then switch back to the original MPEG files for final export.
  • Maintain Aspect Ratio: Ensure you keep the original aspect ratio to avoid stretching or squishing your video content.
  • Optimize Bitrate: Adjust the bitrate settings to balance quality and file size, especially if you're planning to stream the video.
  • Check Audio Sync: Regularly verify that audio remains in sync with the video, especially after making cuts or trims.
  • Utilize Keyframes: Use keyframes for precise control over transitions and effects, ensuring smooth and professional-looking edits.
