Hey guys. I'm new to the forums. I scanned the guide's section to see if I can found the answer to my many questions but had no luck. So here I am. I'm a newbie when it comes to video so please go easy heh.

A little background info on what i'm trying to do.

I'm producing educational videos in my home studio on an infinite white background using a Canon 600D.
My goal is to stream my content on the web in 480p.

1) Should I shoot at 1080p 24fps then downscale? Or shoot at lower quality like 720p?

2) What is the process for getting my video ready to be streamed? From what I gather, I edit the raw footage in a video editing program, then export it (is this process called compressing?) Then I have to encode it so that it can be streamed?

Thanks for the help!
