• Check Resolution: Ensure your MOV file's resolution matches your desired output to avoid unnecessary scaling.
• Adjust Bitrate: Set an appropriate bitrate for h264 to balance quality and file size, typically between 5,000 to 10,000 kbps for HD videos.
• Use Hardware Acceleration: Enable hardware acceleration in Descript to speed up the conversion process and reduce CPU load.
• Maintain Frame Rate: Keep the original frame rate of your MOV file to preserve the video's smoothness and avoid jitter.
