    My 27 gig film needs to shrink!

    Posted by Michael Bayouth on December 17, 2013 at 3:20 am

    Hey guys,

    My feature film is HD 1920 X 1080 with the Apple Intermediate Codec. It’s so huge. It’s 27 gigs! I have Quicktime Pro. How do I get it down to 2 or 3 gigs and still hope to play it on my Flatscreen with some kind of quality? I have Google TV that allows me to hook up a hard drive to it. Is AVI the way to go or a .mov of some kind? Currently the inspector tells me it’s 23.98 FPS.

    Thanks a million in advance!

    Thanks so much for all the great help!

    Use COMPRESSOR and the Quicktime 7 STREAMING option…That will convert to H.264, a standard delivery format. Choose the LAN setting. Or use the YouTube HD setting, but LAN H.264 should be fine.

    I have Compressor 3.0.5 and I could not find those settings. Any suggestions with this version of Compressor?

    Thanks so much!!!!

    Not sure what it has. Look for H.264.
