    Hi all,

    Just wondering…

    What’s the best setting to export your QT movie file in for online video distribution?

    The clips are about 30-60 seconds so they’re not too long. And they were all shot in SD, 24p setting.

    Thanks all!

    Thanks,
    Chris Guevarra

    h.264 at a bitrate of 5000 will look as good as the original and should not be too big. If it doesn’t play smoothly lower the bitrate by cutting 1000 at a time and you’ll find a happy medium after a few tries.
