[Criis Daw]

nice swan !

[Criis Daw]

thanks..

i understand i a little better.

thanks for your help with this

[Criis Daw]

ahhh

its ok .

I figured out why it was not what I expected. the expression is applied to the value of the layer .. which I had already set…I works fine if I reset it to zero.

Still If you have 5 minutes to explain a little i would be very thankful.

cheers

Hi

dont supose you could help me a little more could you .

I copy the expression into the postion property and I understand how the y postion is calculated.

for example comp number 17 in a comp 52 pixels high ends up with a Y value of -2530.

why is that ..?

If I understood how this number is attained I could make it so I get the number I want which is, (comp number-1)*52 . the height od the comp

thanks

[Criis Daw]

thanks for that..

will try it now..

back in a minute when i mess it up ..

cheers

i think you are correct.

using handbrake i got it to 98kb but it looks shit.

At 1mb it looks pretty good and even at around 500kb the results are acceptable.

thanks for your input.

dont get all this bollox in TV land …….

have found a copy of adobe media encoder and it ding a great job.. even at 1mb…

I dont think it will go any smaller as an mp4 though…

[Criis Daw]

would you drop the frame rate in the compressor or in the edit ?

[Criis Daw]

hi

thanks for the reply.

the video is 604×360(at25fps) and they want it as an mp4, i beleive for display on hand held devices.

I dont have media encoder but has found some free software which gets it down to 1mb and the quality is almost good.

is possible to get it smaller ? what would the point be ?

this what they gave me

MP4 (video)

mp4: 640×360 15sec

As compressed as possible without losing image quality. Do not exceed
100kb maximum
