Activity Forums Compression Techniques Cleaner & losing progressive QT

  • Cleaner & losing progressive QT

    Posted by Twistlick on May 10, 2005 at 12:43 pm

    I can’t figure out why with some settings in Cleaner my final movie loses it’s progressive download capabilities in Cleaner. It seems to have something to do with cropping or aspect ratio. I have the final movie playing at normal size (not double). Is there some special crop ratio that I need to maintain? Does this happen only in Cleaner or does Squeeze and CM3.1 do this too? Any help would be appreciated.

    This is a long-standing bug in Cleaner. The simple fix is to just open the movie in QT Pro, and do a new Save As (not recompressing). Rewriting the file, which places the correct headers on the movie, should work for you.

    Also, as far as I know, this bug is specific to Cleaner. I have never seen this with output from CM, and haven’t heard reports of Squeeze users experiencing this.

    I don’t doubt this Charles. But as I lost countless hours in frustration of dealing with this issue, I automatically “Save As” with every working compression that I keep.
    I now use Squeeze 4 and Flip for Mac which I find are very fine products.

    I produce videos exclusively for the web.
