Both of these simply affect the type of file you get at the end of the export process.

If you would like to find out more about formats and containers then check out this article [[Computing:NextGenVideoProtocols#Codecs_.26_Formats_.26_That|here.]] For now the backbone of internet video standards is H.264 encoded MP4 files so I would suggest you do the same.

Assuming you don't need fancy settings, as of writing this in 2020, the majority of online video watched is on tiny mobile phone screens with a handful of people consuming online video outside of the likes of Netflix in 4k. For now, I would suggest even if you shoot at 4k for added sharpness that for our website and content - delivery in Full HD 16:9 is still acceptable and easier with our current ageing systems and thus what I'd recommend for most YSTV projects outside of select commercial and cinematic projects.

==== Frame Rate ====
We are in the UK so we shoot at 25fps, blame our electricity. Some people like to shoot in 24fps for "cinematic" projects because it's the traditional framerate of films. I personally can't see the damn difference and shooting at anything other than 25 fps can lead to some hideous flickering from lights if you don't sort your shutter angle (shutter speed) precisely. So probably it's not worth bothering - nobody is going to notice one extra frame anyway.
==== Field Order ====
A long time ago in a galaxy far far away there was interlaced video, and it was bad. Okay fine it had/has its place in the broadcast world, but for YSTV it's just a pain most of the time. Please use progressive or my ghost will haunt the server rack looking sad.
