Anyone Wanna Give me some Feedback on a new Reel?

Do you have one with the compression settings not so generous? 70 mb was too long to wait. After 12 Mb it was only like 30 sec of material (and only a some of that actaully mograph stuff).

Recompress it, j. The file size is waaaaaay too big. Go for 75KB/sec, Sorenson Pro 3 if you got it, 320×240, 15 fps.

(still waiting, and I’m on broadband)

Well I like it. Very slick. Looks like you guys have a ton of fun. I watched it at 5:50 in the morning so it downloaded pretty fast.

Inspirational.

Compression question for you Steve….. if the original footage is DV (29.97) and you compress to 15fps, will that still play ok, or make it look jumpy?
And on the Sorenson… if you get just their Codec, will that work within Premiere/AE? I checked out Squeeze.. but $500 was way beyond what I can afford right now.

Thanks for your help.

[Ken] “Compression question for you Steve….. if the original footage is DV (29.97) and you compress to 15fps, will that still play ok, or make it look jumpy?”

15 fps looks different from 29.97 fps, but jumpiness could be subjective. If you can get 29.97 and a decent downloading experience, great. Ask other remot users to test the download.

As an example, the Fantastic Four trailer is 24 fps (but it came from film), with a data rate of 134 KB/s. Maybe with more broadband users out there, that’s the standard. My 75 KB/s is looking pretty conservative.

Compressionists have done a lot of testing to arrive at their recipes. If you download a lot of trailers, study the quality, and check their settings (ctrl/cmd-J) you can see their frame rate and data rate.

“And on the Sorenson… if you get just their Codec, will that work within Premiere/AE? I checked out Squeeze.. but $500 was way beyond what I can afford right now. “

You can encode using Sorenson Pro 3 from AE, but there might be some reduced functionality. It looks as if the important stuff is there under the Options button for the codec in the outout module. Sorry, I can’t be sure if it behaves identically with or without a Cleaner or Squeeze host. I’d write Sorenson or check their website to see about reduced functionality.

Hope that helps,
Steve

300k is standard for cable DL or streaming…

It looked alright but I agree with the second post in that, if you were using the reel to showcase your effects then perhaps some more variations of effects should be packed in at the beginning, but don’t listen to me.
