👩🏻‍💻 Transcoding notes

After upload, Warp Studio automatically creates optimized versions of your media for different devices:

Smartphones & tablets
Online playback in webbrowsers
VR headsets

We use a quality-based variable bitrate (QVBR) transcoding method with a high quality setting to preserve visual fidelity while ensuring smooth performance.

If you follow these specs, your content will upload, transcode, and play optimally across all Warp VR supported devices.
