Flip 4 Mac?

[Bob Auiler] ” I always make a QT ProRez file with the same dimensions that I want the .wmv to be, then encode the scaled down QT, The difference is well worth the extra step. “

Thanks Bob, I’m always happy to learn a new trick. I had pretty much just given up completely on WMVs after my last experience. I’ll try it using your two-step process next time.

[David Roth Weiss] “Flip4Mac is virtually unusable now. I can tell you, I tried to produce an acceptable WMV for a client a while back from a pristine video, and I could not achieve a result that was close to passable.”

Flip4Mac is producing nice WMV’s here, but I’m running v2.2 on FCP 5.

Just wanted let some of you know that “Flip4mac” is GREAT and a lifesaver at least for us here in
the 49th TV market. Our occassional problem is if we upgrade too soon to the newest “Quicktime”
release it corrupts Flip4mac until they come out with a patch.
Using Windows9, it is now “SOP” to make smaller wmv’s for clients to quickly
review/approve their spots right on their computer, so we aren’t trying to do high end work, you know
“knock” the SD spots down to a size that can go thru regular e-mail, say under 8megs total file size.
We only do HD commercial spots 6-8 times a year so far-having to “dumb” down to letterbox when
broadcast. Our market is “stuck” partially transitioned into the “HD World”.
