Exporting
Hi Everyone
I am a video newbe crossing over from photography.
I am trying to export in quicktime format a file with dimensions of 1440×1080. However, I only have the option of exporting a size of 720×480. I have tried the widescreen codec etc with no success. I know it is early days and I have only just started but if someone could push me in the right direction I would be most grateful. Trying to wade through the manual has left me numb. So much to learn
Thanks for your help in this matter.
regards
Rick

1440×1080 would be an HDV format resolution.
If you are exporting to Quicktime DV, that would make sense since DV only exists at 720×480. Other Quictime formats that support higher resolutions, H.264, Motion Jpeg, Animation.
Tell us a bit more about what you are trying to achieve and we can recommend a better format.

Hi Vince
Thanks for your reply. Much appreciated.
I am doing a degree in photography at present and have moved into video. In effect i will be doing presentations of video and images combined. I am using After effects and Premiere Pro to achieve this. The camera I have use of is a Canon XH A1S which delivers 1440X1080 HDV video. The presentation has been put together in AF with an output size of 1024×576 which I believe is Pal/DV widescreen setting.
The problem I had was converting the video into a usable format for the presentation in AF. After searching the forum database last night I set the conversion to mpeg2 1440x1080i25 high quality and then opened it up in AF. This with resizing gives a reasonable rendition. I don’t know whether that is right but it got me out of jail. I suppose in hindsight I will have to work at a higher size overall ie 1440X1080.
The use for this finished piece will be a quicktime video that can be presented at University from computer and also to be uploaded to website youtube to start and then onto the university website at a later date.
That is all I need to know at present so any info/settings that you can give would be much appreciated.
Once again thanks for your input.
Regards
RICK
