Hi John

Once again thank you for your reply.
I might have a couple more questions on this topic and I will ask them to you as soon as I get time to do these compressions. At this time I’m just a very busy with the Soccer World Cup in our country, I’m guiding and driving people around our country.
Just one question now regarding this text from the stock web site:
You must upload Quicktime MP4 .h264 files. It is recommended to upload files in as high a quality as possible.
Your application sample files should be in MP4 format. Compression should be set to “High” or “Best”. HD 1080i 960×540 @ 25, 29.97 or 30 FPS

When they talk about upload a quicktime MP4 .h264 file, does that mean that the compressor used must be .h264 and the file format of the file (meaning file ext.) must it be a .mp4
If so why do they say quicktime movie if it must be a .mp4 – maybe that is where the confusion comes in: a “Quicktime MP4 file” Quicktime .mov / MP4 .mp4 file??????

Thank you
Joe Louw

Hi John

Thank you for your response. You explain it like a teacher, it makes more sense now.
Just one more question? I know the very basics of Compressor, but the way I understand is that compressor are used to compress. eg prepare clips for web or youtube.
Now for the proxy upload I can understand that they want it compressed, but it makes sense to me for stock library sales they would like to have it in the best quality (uncompressed). Will this PhotoJPEG compressor not make the quality less for stock sales?

Thank you
