Client requesting these settings..help!
I am compressing a commercial for a client. they request the following
“The spot is currently 960 frames but needs to be either 450, 900, 1350, 1800, 2250, 2700, 3600 frames. Also the video bit rate is 4.7 Mbps and it needs to be 6 Mbps.”
How do I get those settings in Compressor? It needs to be quicktime mov

?? if it’s 860 frames long, then it’s 960 frame long! You can’t add and if you deleted 60 frames then you content would either start at the wrong place or finish too early.
You can change the number of frames per second but that’s best avoided.[bruno silva] “the video bit rate is 4.7 Mbps and it needs to be 6 Mbps”
Erm, change the video bitrate to 6Mb/s!?, if you don’t know how to do that then you really need to refer to the ‘getting started’ guide.
[bruno silva] “It needs to be quicktime mov”
What kind of Quicktime mov? In other words, what codec?
Sorry to be brutal, but if you are doing this kind of work for clients you should really know this very very basic stuff.

So for the frames part, thats actually physical frames. so I may be able to add slug to the front and back of the spot.
as far as bit rate. I set it to 6000 in the video settings after applying the h264 compression type so Im not sure where the error is
Quicktime mov i was using the DV/NTSC codec but I couldn’t change the bit rate using that one, so I am using h264 which is fine.

[bruno silva] “So for the frames part, thats actually physical frames. so I may be able to add slug to the front and back of the spot. “
That’s one solution.
[bruno silva] “as far as bit rate. I set it to 6000 in the video settings after applying the h264 compression type so Im not sure where the error is “
It maybe that the H.264 codec couldn’t actually use up all of the 6Mb/s, you can’t force it to be 6Mb/s if it doesn’t need that much data per second.
[bruno silva] “Quicktime mov i was using the DV/NTSC codec but I couldn’t change the bit rate using that one, so I am using h264 which is fine.
“DV is fixed at 25, 50 or 100Mb/s. You can’t change that.

so what codec would you suggest to run at 6 mbps? Right now its only running at 4.7 mbps according to the client.
excellent help btw.

[bruno silva] “so what codec would you suggest to run at 6 mbps? Right now its only running at 4.7 mbps according to the client. “
That’s kind of the wrong way of going about this.
The client has specified how many frames they want.
The client has specified what the datarate should be
The client should also be specifying what codec and format they need.
It’s best to ask them to make 100% sure, otherwise you could waste a lot of time faffing about.
