Compressing: quicktime presets
Hey guys, the film school I applied to wants our portfolio’s uploaded to a website called SlideRoom. The only problem is, I can only upload a 60 mb video at a time, in either .flv, .wmv or .mov
I have an exported quicktime file (ProRes 422 codec) that is 4 minutes long and 1.82 gigs in size…
My experience with Compressor is pretty limited, and I was just wondering if anybody would be able to tell me of some of the presets that might help me out here? Preferably something that would give me a .mov, and not downgrade the quality too much?
I’ve already cut the time down on the video as much as possible, so shortening it isn’t really an option.

H.264 is the standard now. Try the Compressor presets and see what’ works best for you in terms of quality vs size.

Thanks for that input! I tried the H.264 and it worked pretty well…but I guess I just hadn’t searched for presets deep enough, and now I think I’m able to ask a more specific question:
For uploading a video to a website like Slideroom.com, which preset from the 3 ‘Web’ quicktime groups would you recommend: Download, Streaming, or Web Video Cast?

Streaming.
