    This article does appear to have some conflict between the template and the actual output resolution. The template says 1080p, but the resolution chosen in Step 8 looks to be 640x360. For reference, high definition resolutions start at 720p and include some of the following values: HD (720p) -- 1280x720 Full HD (1080p) -- 1920x1080 QHD -- 2560x1440 4K -- 4096x2160
