rendering, you may want to create custom presets.</p>

ratio and number of audio channels), the rendering presets are concerned with codecs and device constraints
(for example, a handheld device or television may have a maximum screen resolution and framerate, which is
not necessarily the case if you are exporting to a laptop or a website). As such, the presets in the
rendering dialog are related to the project settings, but they govern different things.</p>

<title>Limiting the resolution of a rendering preset</title>
<p>If you want to make a preset with a fixed maximum resolution, you need to edit the preset file
with a text editor. Presets files are typically stored in ~/.local/share/pitivi/ ; since many devices don't
have a maximum resolution, the width/height are set to 0 (unlimited) by default. You can change these values
to the maximum resolution of your target device.</p>
