  • best video compression for Audition mixing?

    Posted by Nathan Quattrini on January 28, 2008 at 6:19 am

    I’m using Audition 2 to match mnusic to video. Right now its a large MOV file which won;t play well. Whats the best way to get the video playing smoothly to match music to it?

    On our modestly spec’d XP Pro/Audition1.5.1 machine,
    we’ve never had problems even with full sized DVAVIs,
    but it seems that people with Mac/XP machines running
    Audition 2+ are experiencing problems.

    This isn’t much help, but Audition should have stayed
    well away from Apple, and at ver.1.5.1

    Audirion likes to see an AVI file … Can’t agree with you more about Audition going beyond 1.5 … according to a tech working on 3.0 Adobe was supposed to fix all the problems that 2.0 had … Personally I haven’t had the time to use 3.0 much but what I have seen is that there are some improvments but some of the changes mess with the way I like to edit so I am sticking with 1.5 myself ………….

    This 1.5.1 situation reminds of those folks who stuck
    – and swore – by Windows 2000. I lot of musos I know
    are still using it, probably.

    I am using a PC. The video happens to be an Mov, doesn`t mean I am on a Mac. My computer is a p4 3.0 ghz with 1 gig RAM. I can use sorenson squeeze to compress the file but I need to know what kind of file is best, and also if there is a recommendation for a computer like mine what will work.

    The short answer then is AVI.

    Yes, AVI is what Audition was designed to work with … WILLIE

    In my experience lossy codecs like sorenson or h264 with their interpolated I and B frames are rather helpful in Audition.

    You should try QT Mjpeg or Animation. Works perfect with backwards scrup and forward playback.
