  QuickTIme on a website

  Hey All-

  Anyone ever make (export) a QuickTime movie from Final Cut Pro or iPhoto and have it on a website embedded on a page (sorry if I am not wording this right…)? I am trying something like that, exported some QuickTime slideshows from projects in iMovie and FCP. However, but my web designer can

  If she can’t open them she needs to go to Apple and download the free player. Then you might be presented with the same problem, cause, you don’t know who will be down loading these clips and what player they have. So, my suggestion is to compress for Mpeg1 and then everybody can play your videos. They can have Mac or PC, Windows Media player, Real Player or Quicktime and it will work beautiful, or at least work.

  Hope this helps-

  You know what sucks? If you output a MPEG4 file, Windoze people simply cannot view it. I don’t know what the hell the deal is, but it ticks me off, ’cause MPEG 4 is a great format with small file sizes.

  I suggest you go with a more universal codec. Encode a .mov using Sorenson 3 instead. You’ll have much more success.

  There are thousands of combinations of settings for Quicktime conversion.
  I have numerous PC users who view these QT files and have them posted on websites.

  Here is my list.

  Video:
  Quality: Medium
  Comp: Sorenson-3
  10fps (or 15 fps if more action)
  Keyframe every 30
  (UN-check the limit rate)

  Size:
  240 x 180 (or 320 x 240 if larger image wanted)

  Audio:
  IMA-4
  22.050
  16bit
  Mono
  CHECK prepare for Streaming

  Export > OK

  And, as was stated, have your PC user friend go to the Quicktime website and download the free QT Player for PC’s.

  What if you’re trying to export a 16:9 movie? What’s the correct pixel values then? Cheers. D
