  • Creating a Quick Time Movie?

    Posted by Zeliha Bozkurt on June 6, 2006 at 10:32 am

    Hi All

    I need to create a quick time move of my 100 min ntsc sequence for reference which would fit onto a CD.

    I tried creating one using a Quick Time Conversion – Broadband Low setting, the progress bar said it will take 3 hrs to make one about 10% in to the sequence.

    I neeed to make one fairly quickly.

    Does anybody know a quick way of creating a qt movie.

    Thanks

    Depends on how good you want it to look… 3 hours is a good time!!

    Sorry… you’ll have to pay the piper on this one.

    Sorry — I hit send too quick…

    You might try other codecs like Sorenson3 for your base. Find it under the OPTIONS button and Video Format.

    Change size to something smaller…

    100 minutes onto 800 megs might be hard. The Broadband High will give you 3 -3.5 megs per minute, but it will compress in x4 time at least… quickest I’ve gotten h.264 to go is about x3 speed. VERY slow.

    Hard to explain what you need to do in such ‘short’ time.

    I’d just send it out to tape and give them a camera to watch it on.

    The MPEG-4 codec (Pt 2, not H.264) will probably compress the fastest, but the best quzlity for datarate is H.264

    It depends on the PC.

    The PC has to have QT and the proper codecs installed. If this is true, then it should play.

    If it’s not, it won’t.

    Sorenson and MPEG 4 are both default codecs installed as part of Quicktime. No sensible person would remove them.
