Production
Resolution
The pixel dimensions of a video or image file, which determine how much detail the footage retains.
What it means in practice
Capture resolution affects available detail and the editor's ability to crop or reframe footage during post-production. Export resolution is selected separately according to the final aspect ratio, platform specification, file size, and delivery method.
Why it matters
Insufficient source resolution can make crops, stabilization, and large-format exports appear soft or degraded.
How it is used
The team specifies capture and export resolutions in the brief so creators deliver files suited to editing and publishing.
