Rendered Video includes the data overlay burned right on to the video. This means any video player will show the data overlay. It also means that the overlay can't change or be turned off. - Posting videos to social media
Export Option: Rendered Video or Plain Video

Export Option: Advanced Video if the other team uses Protern, otherwise Plain Video
