Quick time movies in email

[Josh Olenslager]

Gabriela,

You attach the QT just like you would a regular attachment. However, I believe that most email providers only allow for a 6 mb attachment size, so 2.5 minutes is surely going to be too large. You might consider an FTP transfer if you have access to one.

Josh,

Thank you for your reply. I don’t’ have an FTP transfer.

I wonder if you can help me a bit more. I work mainly from home,usually creating DVDs for viewings and watching them in the client computer or TV.

I had a viewing of an 58 minutes assembly last week. It took hours to export and encode.

Is it possible to create a final cut pro movie file, save it in the drive with the media, connect this drive to a computer without FCP and view it?

Thanks again,

Gabriela

Stephen Smith posted something on the forum about USendIt or YouSendIt (spelling?) that allows large email transfers…

There’s also AIM or iChat, you can send files that way…

I also use something called A-Drive… a free web-hosted storage space that allows you to store up to 50gB free… just sign up a new account

If you do not need to send the original DV Pal movie, you can always compress it to a .h264 and make it look very nice and it would be small enough to email.

Steve and Jason,

Thank you for your suggestions. I’ll try both.

Even better is Vimeo. It has much better quality than YouTube.

I use both yousendit and dropsend on a regular basis. Both work well as long as what you’re sending is under 250mb. Similar services are popping up left and right lately, but it is seriously worth it to look into a more secure solution than uploading you files to a random website that sends out a link.
