You can xfer up to a 2GB from YSI for a one-time $8.99 charge. It’s the Premium Delivey option.

Hi Rafael
I did some tests recently with a shooter in Hong King who was using an EX3. Got him to export / compress a 30″ native codec test sequence:
1. using MPEG Streamclip to convert to MPEG-4 / H264 scaled to SD frame size
2. directly from FCP to SD H264 using Quicktime Conversion
3. using MPEG Streamclip to convert to MPEG-4 / “Apple MPEG4” scaled to SD frame size
4. using MPEG Streamclip to convert to MPEG-4 / H264 unscaled (ie maintaining HD frame size)No. 4 was the runaway winner. The picture quality and general definition was vastly superior to the others, it held up the best during motion within the frame, pans and zooms, and surprisingly it also produced the smallest file size of the methods tested. If I were to rank them in order of overall quality it would be as below:
1st – 4. (47.9MB)
2nd – 1. (55.3MB)
3rd – 3. (73.7MB)
4th – 2. (53.2MB)So no, not specifically for compatibility but because it looks good and sends faster!
Cheers

Hi Andy,
Thanks for the info.
Very interesting test. I’ll give it a try.
Cheers,

just do a 8bit/10bit uncompressed qt render. and then zip it in the finder (rightclick-compress…). you will be amazed about the decrease of size 🙂

I agree with joppo. Send the uncompressed version and zip it.
I would happily pay even 10 bucks to send this file and get it off my plate.
That kind of money is really small for pros that visit this forum.Kevin Monahan
