  • Exported quicktime files lagging?

    Excuse me if this is a n00b question but when i render out my finished projects as quicktime movies they always lag when i try to play them back. Ive tried converting them to smaller sizes but still get the same problem. Any ideas?

    What compression format are you using? It sounds as if the computer you are playing them back on can’t handle the size of the movie. I generally render my finals at high quality, for example, Quicktime Animation codec at 100%, then export a smaller movie compressed to H264 for computer playback…
