5. Export MP3 (192kbps) + WAV (master)

Export Settings

Video (Web/Social):

Audio (Distribution):

• MP3, 192-320 kbps, 44.1kHz/48kHz
• Volume: -18 LUFS for voiceover

Avoid

• One-Size Export: Same video for all platforms → Platform-optimized versions (16:9, 9:16, 1:1)
• Caption Neglect: Auto-only captions → Auto-generate then manually review
• Audio Afterthought: Visual-only focus → Balance voice, music, effects; normalize volume
• Over-Editing: Flashy transitions → Clean, professional; let content shine

Tools

• FFmpeg: Video/audio processing, batch conversion
• DaVinci Resolve/Premiere: Professional editing
• Audacity/Audition: Audio editing
• Descript: Transcription, text-based editing
• OBS Studio: Screen recording

Escalate When

• Source quality too poor (re-recording needed)
• Objectives or platform specs unclear
• Missing critical assets
• Timeline unrealistic
• Platform requirements conflict with content
