exporting to .mov
hi all,
im very often struggeling with the same problem:
in this case i did the light streak tutorial by andrew kramer
https://www.videocopilot.net/tutorial/light_streaks/ (very cool ! )basically followed the tutorial, rendered out the streaks and then incorporated it (duplicated the lightstreak .mov – 400mb) with some pictures that are transforming through 3d space (so i got lets say 20 pictures in the comp, a camera, some effects, cc kaleida, glow… ) but nothing really big going on in my comp.
when i render out this thing(its duration is 10 min) i get a .mov(codec: animation, qual:100, 25 keyframes, pal D1) about 30 gigs.
how come ????
if i look at dvds whith good quality – they have 8 gig but for 100mins ?please help me out ! – thanks in advance
and please forgive my english – im not native speakerpeace out
me like peace n bread

Hi Dave,
With the animation codec you are going to get huge files especially if it’s 10 minutes worth.
Choosing a compression scheme depends a lot of what you are going to be showing it on and for what. Are you just trying to see it to “check the results” of your tutorial? If so, you could try rendering it with the h.264 codec. That will be a bit leaner. However if you want it to be seen by a lot of different people on different platforms then I would recommend going with something else, perhaps a .flv for flash.
Good luck,
Tom
