Choose the program

Commonly, people tend to view the resolution as the crucial element that decides whether a video is good or bad because usually in a video game graphic setting or after downloading a video from YouTube and checking its setting, the resolution is a primary parameter that tends to change for better graphics.

The resolution affects the video quality, but also the bit rate and the encoder system is still important if you want to increase the video quality, especially for the latter, you can increase the video quality with an unchanged or even lower bitrate provided that you have a better encoder such as VP9 encoder and H265 encoder. You need to find a good HD video editor that can help you edit your video and make it brighter, sharper, or more colorful.
