4K 60 fps Export

What happens when you export

Hardware encoding first

HookWise renders with FFmpeg and hands the video encoding to the hardware in your computer. On a Mac that is VideoToolbox. On Windows, HookWise tests NVIDIA NVENC, Intel Quick Sync and AMD AMF in that order and uses the first one that works. If none is available, it uses Media Foundation, the encoder built into Windows.

Bitrate is set for you. HookWise starts from a target for 1080x1920 at 30 fps and scales it with frame size and frame rate, so a 4K60 export gets more data than a 1080p30 one. HEVC uses about 70 percent of the H.264 bitrate. Audio is always encoded as AAC.

Picking settings for each platform

The TikTok and Reels presets render 1080p at 30 fps in H.264. The Shorts preset uses 1080p at 60 fps with high quality, and 4K60 renders 2160p at 60 fps. Resolution is counted on the short side, so a 1080p 9:16 reel comes out at 1080 by 1920.

Use 60 fps when the source was recorded at 60. Stay on H.264 when you upload straight to a platform, and pick HEVC for smaller 4K files you want to keep. Batch export queues every reel from an episode, and file names can follow a pattern built from project, reel, date and preset, so a folder of 12 reels stays easy to sort.

Limits and what you get

Export runs offline on every plan, and no watermark is added. Next to each video, HookWise writes a JPG thumbnail taken half a second in, an .srt file and a caption.txt holding the title, caption and hashtags. Saving to Google Drive needs a sign-in with your Google account and an internet connection.

Render time depends on reel length, resolution and your graphics hardware. HookWise publishes no speed figures. 4K at 60 fps is the heaviest setting, so render one reel before you queue a whole batch. HookWise does not post to platforms for you. The Upload Kit gets the file and text ready.

Frequently asked questions

No. HookWise adds no watermark to anything you export.

H.264 is the safe choice for uploading anywhere. HEVC gives smaller files at the same quality, which helps when you archive 4K footage.

HookWise does not post for you. Files are saved locally or to Drive, and the Upload Kit opens the platform upload page and copies your post text.

Yes. Set resolution, frame rate, codec and quality, then save it as a custom preset next to the built-in ones.

Yes. HookWise checks for NVIDIA, Intel and AMD encoders and uses Media Foundation, built into Windows, when none of them is available.

1080 by 1920 pixels. HookWise counts resolution on the short side, so a 4K vertical reel is 2160 by 3840.
