  Quicktime no longer restricting data rate

  Posted by Derek Fremd on January 16, 2011 at 6:42 pm

  An interesting new issue that I can’t seem to find an answer to. I am exporting via Quicktime Movie Conversion a series of edited HD videos from FCP. The sequences are 1280 x 720 30p and the Quicktimes are 720×480 16:9. I need to keep the data rate to 1200 kbps and for the last 10 sequences I have edited I have been able to create the QT movies without issue. For some reason out of the blue the QT movies I am creating now end up at about 3700kbps regardless of what value I enter for “restrict data rate”.

  Anyone experience this before and know what’s going on?

  Are you setting “Key-frames” AUTO?
  What about the Audio setting?

  What codec are you exporting to and why QT conversion?

  Thank you! Your reply made me re-review my settings and I realize I had not set my audio to AAC. Now all is operating normally as before. Operator error…
