CGI video delivery specs
CGI video delivery specs should define platform, aspect ratio, resolution, runtime, frame rate, codec, safe zones, audio and cutdown requirements before rendering starts.
What this solves
Video specs decided late can force reframing, re-rendering and extra edit work.
Start with these tools
Use the tools in order, or jump straight to the one that matches the question in front of you.
Recommended workflow
The sequence keeps the work practical and reduces the usual guesswork before production.
A video delivery sheet covering master file, platform cutdowns, caption needs and safe zones.
The guide links delivery specs to creative planning so CGI is framed correctly before render time. Video specs change by platform and should be checked before final delivery.
- Rendering only one master when cutdowns are needed.
- Ignoring mobile safe zones.
- Leaving captions and audio mix to the final hour.

Questions this page answers
When should video specs be agreed?
Before render framing and animation lock, because aspect ratios and safe zones affect camera decisions.
Do I need separate social cutdowns?
Often yes. Social placements can need different framing, length and safe-zone treatment.
What is the safe default export?
H.264 MP4 is widely compatible, but final specs should follow each platform or media owner.

About the studio behind these tools
XO3D is a director-led product CGI studio, and these tools come out of its own production pipeline rather than being built as marketing. We work with tech, industrial and premium consumer brands on product films, launch stills and interactive experiences.
That makes us the right choice for launch-critical work where the visual standard has to be high and the product may not exist yet.
It makes us the wrong choice for three things: hundreds of routine SKUs to a fixed template, a permanently live self-service configurator across a large range, and the campaign idea itself.
