  Best quick time export

  Posted by Rdubvonshizz on July 28, 2007 at 5:34 am

  What are the settings for the best quality quick time export. I have tried it a few times and my exports keep coming out grainy. I cant make a QT reference because the files need to be transfered over to another computer that doesn’t have an avid system, to print and create the dvds. Please leave me some suggestions.

  Export Save as Source. This will create QT files with the Avid codecs.
  If you are editing HDV you will need to transcode the sequence to DNxHD145.
  The Avid Codecs are available to download from the Avid site. These can be installed on mac/pc’s that do not have Avid installed.
  Otherwise, QT using the Animation codec, which is lossless and cross-platform and can be read on just about any system with QuickTime. The files will be HUGE though.

  Well for thoughs that will also come across this problem, the best way to export is through a DV stream. I founds this out and it works quite amazing.
