Thanks for the reply. But I have not expressed myself adequately. I don’t care about file size or how long it takes to upload. I care about the ability for people to see the video run smoothly on their computers. For example, If I use a target bit rate of 50 mgps vs 10mgps will only a low percentage of current modern day computers with current average internet speed be able to view the video smoothly. Is the higher the bit rate used cause more computers or smartphones or iPads to not be able to see the video smoothly, especially if you have motion graphics in your video?

Thanks for the responses. Let me frame the question better. They want a mp4 file and and they will project on to the cinema screen from a windows 10 laptop…so pro res will be an issue (and I have never worked with 442 pro res on a windows computer). So my question is by dramatically increasing my target bit rate to say 40-50 with a H.264 format, I assume that I will have better quality (no stuttering, artifacts)) compared to a bit rate of 14? (especially with the video having a lot of panning and zooming and animation). Is that correct? Or Is there a diminishing returns point where higher bit rate mean no difference in playback quality?

My second related question is…have I created a second problem. …by increasing the bit rate, I have a huge file size. Does this mean that If the computer that is projecting on the cinema screen does not have a very fast processor and a fast hard drive, then I am back to where I started, where I will get problems with playback….stuttering freezing etc?
