Hi Ducati,

I sent you a personal email through our support system answering your
questions, but I'll also post here in case others had a similar
question. See response below.

Regards,

Carmen-

-------
In the current release (1.2.35) you cannot control import quality nor
export quality. Both settings are internally set.

However, in our next release (due out early next week) you'll have the
ability to specify your export quality - you'll be able to choose from
3 presets (High, Medium, Low) or you can customize your exact export
quality by specifying a custom frame size, bitrate, and frame rate.

Also, in the new release import quality will automatically be
determined by the source file. So, for example, if you import a media
file that is encoded at 300kbs, at 15fps, and is 640x480 - Presio will
preserve those settings upon import.

Hope that helps. Let me know if you have any other questions, and
check back next week for the new release. Here's a link to our
download page:

Thanks.
