Exporting for Closed Captioning
Posted by Brach Pulver on December 15, 2009 at 4:22 pmI am trying to export this for the closed captioner. I am sending a 30 min show and it comes up with about 6.25 gig. Just wondering if there is an easy way to dramatically reduce the file size. Quality does not matter because he is creating a black movie and the video is not used.

December 15, 2009 at 5:33 pmI suggest one of the iPod presets from QuickTime Pro. This will make a relatively small file with decent quality.
If you want to get more specific, use H264 320×240 at 200kbps, with AAC audio mono 32kbps.
Hope this helps,

December 15, 2009 at 7:28 pmThe Apple devices presets in Compressor are a good place to start but I’d go even further with the lowest common denominator and that’s MPEG1.
Your desire to email the finished export is not practical, though. it may or may not work, too many factors out of your control. More reliable to mount the file on your .mac account.bogiesan

December 15, 2009 at 11:37 pmThe way I do it is to just add a “2-Pop” at the head of the show (for re-syncing later,) then export just the audio from the timeline.
I make an mp3 of that and the mp3 emails just fine.
They build the captions from just the mp3 audio track.

cc people.
I send beta tapes for station dubs usually.

December 16, 2009 at 1:59 amThanks everybody! I was able to compress it down through Quicktime and he is building a black movie that will insert into line 21 straight out of the bin.
