=== Options & Video Quality ===

While H264/MOV profile is selected, you have different options to choose video quality. You can either set a bitrate or a number between 1 and 100 for 'Video Quality'. The lower the number, the higher the quality.

For Chorée Hardcoded subtitles, I used 20 as an equivalent to video quality 23 from Kdenlive. The file size was nearly the same.
