I am new to editing and could use some help! I have a GoPro11 and am trying to render the 5.7k footage with PD16. I went to make a custom profile. The average bit rate has a range of only 15,000 to 200,000 and the actual clip properties show 259,721. PD will not let me go outside that range. In tutorials I have seen others have a much higher range than 200,000. What is the limiting factor here and can I change it?

I am also not sure how to get a 5760 x 2880 or what the next best option is. I just went with the highest option 4096 x 3072.

Hi,

There's a lot of posts relating to this on the forum.

Basically the PDR UI only offers custom profiles within certain constraints - probably to do with industry standards and codec capability [see this as an example ]https://forum.cyberlink.com/forum/posts/list/20/78558.page#post_box_326393]

However, it is possible to manually edit the profile.ini file to adjust some parameters and give a higher output. CL support would say that such manual editing is not "supported" but many folk on the forum regularly use such profiles so if it works for you......

This topic, which got rather confused, also has valuable info.
