exporting to quicktime for web

[Enzo Tedeschi]

Paolo,

Buon Anno Nuovo anche a te!

Any of the “Web Download (Quicktime 7 Compatible) presets in Compressor should give you way smaller file sizes than that. Try the 800kbps and see how you feel about the result.

Even at high quality, you should be able to get decent filesizes – this is H264, 3 mins long at about 20MB, and I went overkill on the bitrate to really get the clearest vision I could:

Good luck, and all the best for ’07.

Grazie Enzo!!
I tried that setting but it doesn’t maintain the 16:9 aspect ratio.
can you please ealborate when you say you went overkill on the bitrate, i don’t know how to use it. also…can i pre determine the size the file will be?
thanks again!
ciao
Paolo

Apply the preset, then in the batch list, double-click the line that shows the preset. You will see a bunch of info appear in your inspector window (Make sure you have it open – access it from the Window Menu).

Below the “description” in the Inspector, there is a row of buttons. The first one in the row is your Summary of settings for this preset. This will include a filesize estimate.

The next button along will allow you to tweak settings for video and audio bitrate. Higher bitrate, larger file, better quality results. A bit of experimenting and you’ll get the idea.

The Second last button “Geometry” is where you’ll resolve your 16:9 issue. There is a drop-down menu called “Constrain to Aspect”. Select 16:9 and you should be sorted.

Also, you can fix the 16:9 thing without re-encoding by adjusting the movie properties in Quicktime Pro.

Once you get settings you like, make sure you save them as a preset so you don’t need to set them up each and every time.

Have fun!

Are your titles outside the title safe boundery ?

Good Luck Buz

Hello Thanks,
no they’re not outside safe. I’ve tried to re render shrinking the titles but no luck.
thanks
