What is Video Resolution, Aspect Ratio, and Codec?

Why is understanding video resolution, aspect ratio, and video file size important for optimal video quality? When choosing which resolution to shoot with, figure out where you want your video distributed to and what device your audience will watch your video on to determine which resolutions are supported by specific aspect ratios. The file size also plays a role in a high-quality video. In this clip from our video content course, we share the different types of resolutions, aspect ratios, and file sizes. 

Resolution & Aspect Ratio

What do you know about the video settings that affect your image quality and size of your video? Not much? Well, for starters, the resolution affects the overall quality of your videos. The more pixels you have, the higher the quality. The aspect ratio also determines the quality and size of your video when uploaded. When you’re ready to upload, you’ll need to choose a file type that is compatible with your needs. In this clip from our video content course, we go over the specific video settings you need to know when preparing your video for distribution.

Want a professional-looking LinkedIn company page? Take a look at your company images! If they are not updated properly with LinkedIn’s guidelines, they may fall short in your page’s appeal. It is important to convey your brand and company appropriately through images that are sized well on multiple devices. LinkedIn has a helpful chart to let you know what their specifications are on company photos, cover, logo, and main images. You can post images less than the recommended size; however, the photos you upload on the company photos section may appear smaller if they are at the minimum size guidelines. For example, the minimum image size for a cover image on a page is 1192x220 pixels, but LinkedIn recommends 1536x768 pixels. For cover photos, you may need to trim the image to fit the screen. The platform suggests uploading a high-quality image using formats of PNG or JPEG. You can also replace the static image on the main/image section with a video link from Vimeo or YouTube. Once you adjust your photo settings, your customers and followers will be able to recognize who your company is amongst the competition!
