WEB savy final cut pro editors help!! thanks
This is a question for any web savy final cut pro editor. I made a short clip that I would like to put on the home page of my website. It is 35 sec. long with music. I exported the file and used Cleaner to compress it, and it is now 1.2 megs, which is still way to big for a home page. I brought the file into flash, just to see what would happen, and liked the results, but the file went up to 7 megs and a self contained flash movie. Anyone have any recommendations on how to make a movie compressed for a homepage? Quality is not a huge issue more size. Thanks!

Try this link… there are a zillion ways to do this. 1.2 megs isn’t all that bad these days…

I can give you a hand if you need help. No 1.2 isnt bad, my flash movies are alot bigger. I use sorenson squeeze to compress all my flash movies, feel free to take a look at them http://www.maineventweddings.com

I read the link and it has an inacurracy, although, following the directions will decrease the file size. The author claims the file’s size is smaller in part because of the lower frame rate and smaller image size. This isn’t true. The data rate determines the file size. By using a lower frame rate and a smaller image size, you apply the codec’s horsepower to less pixels so the image looks better at the lower data rate.

thanks for the info from the posters. I played around with a bunch of combos, and found that Cleaner got me the smallest and highest quality web movie. The link posted was helpfull, but cleaner is a better solution, and yes 1.2 megs is not that big, but when you are forced to work with dial up, as DSL is not available, its huge…
as stated, data rate is the key.
thanks for the postings
