  Codec compression setting ‘snap to” annoyance

  Posted by Eric Chard on August 3, 2009 at 7:18 pm

  I’m trying to set the compression on a rendered piece, and the ‘snapping’ behaviour of the compression slider is pissing me off.

  The compression jumps between 44 and MEDIUM (50), which is the difference between 44megs of rendered file and 200megs of rendered file. But since the damn dialog doesn’t allow the user to access 45 thru 50, I can’t fine tune the compression.

  Is there a way to move the slider to get these otherwise unaccessible values? Tnx!

  (and BOOOOoooo! to whoever designed that slider!)

  “…and THEN use a compression application to do the actual compression. You get far better looking results from the same amount of compression.”

  never heard of that, but interested. But not sure what would a compression application be, for example? Something like “MPEG streamclip”? Or could u compress anything with QT pro?

  thks
