Sequence Setting for GoToMeeting Recorded Webinars
The association I work with is recording Webinars via GoToMeeting. The original file is in .wmv, so when I am downloading this as a direct link Quicktime wraps the file in .mov. So the video file I have to work with in wrapped in .mov and in a WMV9 Codec.
I’ve been editing this footage in a DVCPROHD sequence 960×720 and my end result has been fine. But as you can imagine, my exported quicktime is gigs worth (15+). Should I be editing in a different sequence setting? What setting would allow me to render quickly and not have such a large file?
At first, I wanted to put the footage in compressor and convert to a different codec, but I’m dealing with an hour of footage and the time to convert would take half my day.
Thanks for your suggestions.

Hi
You can try Pro Res LT. It’s generally a smaller file size and will work well with Final Cut. The export will still take a long time though i imagine.
Out of curiosity, what are you using to convert the footage from the WMV to DVCPro HD? Flip4Mac?

I’m converting the wrapped .wmv to .mov with flip-for-mac. It’s built right into the browser with I download the video in firefox.
I may try ProRes LT. I’ll let you know how it works. Thanks for the suggestion.

I’m having fits trying to get GoToMeeting video into FCP. I’ve installed Flip4Mac and I’m not having any luck. Do I need to do something to embed that program into Firefox? I’ve gotten the file onto a Windows machine and it plays there but all I get on a Mac is a white screen with sound.
