# H.264 Codec Export Profiles

When exporting a clip as an H.264 in QuickTime, you can use the Default settings or one of the pre-configured H.264 codec profiles.

NoteThe H.264 codec profiles are xml files stored in /usr/discreet/PRODUCT/codecprofiles/QuickTime/video/libquicktime/H264E/. You can edit the profiles either from the application using the Export Media > Edit button to open the Codec Profile editor, or directly in the .xml files.

The Suggested Clip Resolution guides you in the selection of a target resolution for the output. Using a different resolution can provide you with unexpected results.
