Official presets
================
A `Preset` is a group of settings specifically tailored for the software or device you want your videos to play on. Selecting a `Preset` can go a long way toward ensuring your video works where you want it to.
HandBrake includes a number of official `Presets` for specific devices and for general use. The default `Fast 1080p30` preset is a good choice if you're just getting started. It's fast and compatible across a wide range of software and devices.
The official `Presets` impose limitations on various settings in order to ensure compatibility with the intended playback software or device. For instance, higher resolution video will be downscaled to the maximum resolution, and higher frame rates will be peak limited to the maximum frame rate.
So, a 1080p video at 60 frames per second will be downscaled to 480p resolution and peak limited to 30 frames per second when using one of the 480p30 `Presets`. There may be additional limitations on audio and other settings to ensure compatibility. To see what settings will be used to make your new video, select a `Preset` and explore the graphical interface.
