  • Need help with settings for high quality streaming

    Posted by Neal Fox on July 28, 2008 at 5:23 pm

    I’ve been all over Google but I can’t find a simple answer to this.

    I’ve got FC Pro 6. I can export as a QuickTime Movie or using QuickTime Conversion or Compressor. I’d like a fairly high quality video/audio file to show on my web site. The selection is enormous. Problem is, to experiment, which is what I’ve been doing, takes days. Every time I try one out it’s at least 1/2 to two hours waiting to see if it looks good.

    I’d like it to be 640 X 480, stereo and for the viewer not to have to wait too long (I guess that’s streaming?) As you can see, this part of the process, I’m a newbie at.

    I’ve done fairly decent versions for YouTube, but they’re not stereo or high quality enough.

    Is there a place that explains what settings to use for what and whether to export to QT Movie, ST Conversion or Compressor?

    Thanks.

    First off how long is your video?

    Testing goes a tun faster when you take a 30 sec clip and do your tests on that instead of the whole thing.

    There are no “technical solutions” to your “artistic problems”.

    These are 2 music videos. One is about 4 minutes. The other about 7.

    That’s a good idea about testing a 30 second clip. Do you have any suggestions for a good starting point?

    Thanks.

    I always just use the compressor web presets.

    Thanks.

    I agree. But I was hoping something was written that would keep me from reinventing the wheel. Just a little head start.
