minor compression of movie without any qualityloss?
Hi!
I recorded and edited a shortfilm in final cut and will deliver it to a filmfestival through their uploading system in https://www.imdb.com. The problem is that my shortfilm is at 2.26 GB but the maximum filesize to upload in imdb is 2 GB.
so I have to get rid of 0.26 GB by compressing it someway. The file format at the moment is:
Ive been shooting it with a Canon HV30 with this format:
Frame size:
1440×1080Vid Rate
25 fpsCompressor
HDV1080i50Pixel Aspect:
HD (1440×1080)Audio format
16-bit integerAudio Rate
48 Khz
how shall I do this to preserve maximum quality?
shall I use:
– compressor?
– final cut and mixing with the export settings?
– final cut and quicktime conversion?and in case of any above – WHICH SETTINGS?
thanks a lot !!!

There is no editing codec down from HDV. If you need to reduce size try H.264 1920×1080 at a really high bitrate.
But the real question is what do THEY want? Is it for the internet? Will they re-compress it?

thanks for reply. they want a .mov file. thats all thay said. so I guess if I send it high quality it would do it. just if I can succed to get it under 2 GB

Yes on the 1920×1080, the HDV 1440x is not a true size, software like FCP knows to play it back at 1920x, so when you convert it to H264 you would want to go to the correct size.
I would try 15 Mbps to start with. See how that looks to you.
