HELP!! How do I put a 2 minute film trailer on my web blog???
Hi all,…
Hope somebody can help so here goes,…
I’ve just finished a trailer for my short film, it’s a really simple single shot trailer that runs for 2 minutes, and I want to post it on my blog so my subject and friends can see it.
How do I go about this?
What do I have to export it as?
I’ve never posted a video on my blog before..
Thanks in advance,…

I’ve found that Sorenson Squeeze works much better than Cleaner IMHO, but it costs to buy the program. I am able to stream a 1:30 trailer myself by using Squeeze, and after tweaking the settings I got it to right under 8 meg. Here’s a link if you want to check out the quality.

It mentions Cleaner EZ in this article?? How and where do I get this? I tried just exporting the trailer using QT and it comes out quite good following the article but I don’t get an address to use for streaming?? What am I doing wrong?
Thank again..

Cleaner is a discreet product, and best I can tell is what they are talking about in that article. I have no idea what version of FCP that was written for, but as you can tell from the screen pictures it was from OS 9 or earlier so it’s pretty old. The article said “Using FCP and Media Cleaner EZ that came in your FCP package we will make a QT movie for the web.” but Cleaner hasn’t shipped with FCP for several versions at least. So where does that leave you?
If you are looking for a solution without buying any additional software, your best bet is going to be Compressor, which DOES ship with FCP (version 4+ of course). It also comes with DVDSP. Give Compressor a try with one of it’s web settings, and see if you can get the filesize down lower than what you were getting from QuickTime alone (it tweaks alot of settings for you if you are unsure about things).
As far as an address for streaming… You will have to have a website that you can upload your movie to for it to stream. The address is whatever website you have access to (i.e. personal web log, .Mac page) that offers streaming video. Now, if you don’t have access to something like this, then you will probably have to email your video as an attachment. This is where you will really have to work to get your file size down. You may be able to do it with Compressor, but this is where another program (like Sorenson Squeeze) really pays for itself if this is something that you will have to do alot. I have to email QuickTimes of finished spots every day and Squeeze really helps out with that.
Good luck!
