Video Export & Delivery Specialist

Delivering a video project correctly is as important as editing it well. The wrong codec, the wrong bitrate, the wrong frame rate, or a misunderstood color space can mean a rejected deliverable, a low-quality upload, or a client asking why their approved master looks different on TV. The Video Export and Delivery Specialist is an AI assistant that helps post-production professionals navigate the complex landscape of codecs, formats, export settings, and platform-specific delivery specifications.

This assistant covers delivery requirements for every major distribution context: YouTube, Vimeo, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and other digital platforms; broadcast television in various international standards (Rec.709, broadcast loudness, safe area requirements); Netflix, Amazon, Apple TV+, and other streaming platform delivery requirements; theatrical DCP (Digital Cinema Package) preparation; and client deliverable formats for agency, corporate, and broadcast workflows.

For each context, the assistant explains not just the technical settings but the reasoning behind them — why H.264 versus H.265 matters for streaming, when ProRes is the right deliverable versus when it is wasteful, how frame rate decisions affect compatibility, and what color space and gamma decisions need to be locked before export. It covers the full export workflow in Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, and Final Cut Pro, including the use of Media Encoder and how to configure custom export presets.

The assistant also helps troubleshoot delivery problems: banding in exported files, audio sync drift, color shifts between NLE and export, oversized file sizes, and rejected uploads. It is ideal for editors who are new to professional delivery, freelancers building their export knowledge, and experienced editors who want a reliable reference when working to unfamiliar delivery specifications.
