Smart folders! Why didn’t I think of that? Greatly reduces my chances of turning a perfectly serviceable G5 into a perfectly serviceable doorstop via messing around in Terminal.

I’ve had issues with leopards disk utility to. I think you can do it though the terminal. Try this.

Yep. Media Manager is the way to go. Just click the sequence you want to move and right (control) click it and select media manager. Important note here though, when moving files in MM, ALWAYS use the “Copy” option NOT the “Move” option. If you crash halfway through a move it will be a nightmare. If you want to move and not copy your project, copy it first and then just delete the original.

What about MPEG-4? Or 2 or 3 for that matter. Why the small filesize? For web delivery? If so, you can’t get smaller than flash. On2VP codec is tiny and great quality.

I’m a big fan of H.264 as a download codec. Have you tried that? I usually mix down to 44.1Hz mono on my audio. You can also bump the frame rate down to half of the source frame rate. So, if it’s 1080 60i, you can go to 15fps and if you shot 24p, you can go down to 12fps. Also, play with your keyframes. If there is allot of action and movement in the frame your kind of stuck, but if it’s fairly static, you can bump your keyframes up . What’s your frame size? You can save allot of bandwidth here to.

I usually just highlight the transition and hit Apple R to render just that segment. I’m not sure what you mean when you say “highest quality.” Depends on how you are exporting and for what end use. If size is not a factor, self contained quicktime movie will give you the same settings as your sequence.

Good points all. I also find that the “Reveal in finder” option when you control click a clip works great to see if it’s in your capture scratch. Do that for any suspect clips like music or graphics you might have forgotten to transfer over to your scratch disks.

Danny,

Whoops. Yep, bigger than the source. I’ve been exporting HDV all day. Thinking in 1080. Thanks for the catch.
