  Export Compression Question

  Posted by Tobin Nageotte on February 11, 2006 at 10:42 am

  I have a 7:30min short film that I’m trying to compress to post on a website. I need the file size to be below 100mb. Straight out of FCP into Quicktime (DV/NTSC 48k), my file size is 1.6GB. I’ve messed with Export>Quicktime Conversion and Export>Compressor with varied results. Even when I set my quality levels exceedingly low, my file size barely (or doesn’t) decrease. I’ve cut my resolution in half and tweaked several options, still nothing.
  What is my best course of action? Or am I just asking for too much? Please help.
  Best,
  Tobin

  Thirty,

  If tis doesn’t help, you should look at Sorenson Squeeze or Compression Master 3.2.
