How do you make an UNCOMPRESSED QUICKTIME movie from an AVI?
Hi there
Basically Ive got an uncompressed AVI version of an 8minute film i made, its 2 gigs in size. So I put it into AE and then save out as a quicktime movie but there are two problems….firstly it is almost 8 gig (which i cant fit onto a dvd) and also the quality is crap…..really bad…what am I doing wrong?
Basically I have to get the film as an uncompressed MOV file…..wats the best way of doing this with what Ive got? I originally saved the AVI out of premiere as all of my AE clips were assembled in it and then exported as one big avi…
Hope someone can help!
Cheers
Dan

Several things here – that is not an uncompressed AVI. An uncompressed AVI that was 8 minutes long would weigh in around
14 or so GB. That’s probably a DV compressed video.How are you savinmg it out of AE as a quicktime? Are you exporting it or rendering it? What settings are you using.
Why does it need to be an uncompressed quicktime? Are you delivering it for editing somewhere? If so you can export as an image sequence that will either fit on one disc or that can be split up amoung many discs with no loss in visual quality. You can export a seperate audio file to go along with it.

Like Aharon said: By no means is your movie uncompressed in technical terms (size would be about right for HuffYUV or another “lossless” compression). As for the quality – most likely your footage interpretation isn’t right. Either fields are reversed or completely omitted (whne it’s for DVD, you’d need fields most likely). Check that and try again.

Yup, definetely not uncompressed AVI that! Unless it’s physically not full screen in size?
When you’ve worked out how to export to a QT movie you could always just winrar the file and set winrar to split into 700mb chunks and spread over a couple of DVD-Rs? The person at the other end just needs to copy all the files into one folder and open part 1 and it will rebuild itself.

when I work with files that big, I generally just hand off the harddrive to the studio or whomever and then get it back after they;ve copied all the files.
Always good to have a portable 40-80GB drive or even just a large external drive…
