Video Quality Defines the video quality, either Draft, Better, or Best.
The higher the quality, the longer the time required to complete the export. Draft is fastest,
while Best takes the longest time to complete but has the best quality. If you have a slower
system, you might want to see if the Better or Draft options provide acceptable quality.
