#### **Frame Settings**

* **Frame Rate**\
  Displays the frame rate for the exported file. *(Not adjustable)*
* **Field Order**\
  Sets the field dominance (Progressive, Upper, Lower). Availability depends on the selected video codec.
* **Resolution**\
  Displays or sets the output resolution.\
  If adjustable, **aspect ratio** settings will also become available.
* **Dither**\
  Controls dithering behavior when converting between integer and floating-point values.
* **Color Space**\
  Sets the output color space. Availability varies by codec.
* **Color Level**\
  Sets the output color level (e.g., Full Range, Video Range). May not be available for all codecs.
* **Maximum Gamma Precision (Slower)**\
  When enabled, improves gamma accuracy—especially useful when converting from HDR to SDR formats.

  > *May result in slower export performance.*
