which compressor settings
Any advice on this gratefully received.
I have finished an animation film in FCP produced from linking together animations produced in Photoshop plus added sound track the final film is about 24 minutes and uncompressed using the animation codec is currently 5 gig (square pixel aspect ratio and 24 frames per sec). I need to try to get the file size down to between 800 – 100mb size for web streaming.
Can anyone recommend which codec would be best? The soundtrack is important so I want to keep sound quality reasonably high.
Thanks
John

I’d recommend h.264 as the codec.

I agree. H264 in a flv conainer. This combo may change if Google has their way, but for now its the best game in town for web streaming – in my opinion.

No! Please don’t use an FLV container- its a nightmare for anyone who wants to view it on a portable device (ipods, iphones, ipads hahah)- dont do it! 😀 But yes H.264 is cool.
