# Step 5: Set up the video encodes
Step 5: Set up encodes

This section shows how to set up video encode parameters in an event that implements Elemental Live output locking.

**Note**  
This section refers to *pools*. For an explanation of pools, see [Output locking pools](opl-pools.md).

After you have created the output groups and outputs, follow these guidelines to create the video encodes.

Set up the output encodes (video streams) in the usual way:

1. In each output group, create as many outputs as you [planned for that output group](opl-step-get-ready-outputs.md). When you add an output, Elemental Live creates a new stream in the **Streams** section.

1. Set the following fields in the **Video** tab as specified.

1. You can set other fields in the **Video** section, the fields in the **Audio** section, and the fields in the **Captions** tab to suit your workflow.
