    exporting

    Yardena

      hey,

       

      I want to know how do i keep my edited video in the current format while exporting it to the computer?

      meaning: the format of the shots as they were filmed in hd camere is mov and they weight alot over than 100MB for a shot and all together the entire video clip should weight nearly 2 GB  and I want to keep it in that format and quality, so how do i do that?

       

      thanks,

      Yardena

            2 gig is not much.

            If you want to export to the same format you need to use Quicktime instead of H.264.

            If you want the same quality you can use the animation codec but that will make huge files.

            Is it just for playing back on a computer, then mp4 will be fine. Choose a HD preset from the list.

              yeah, in the animation codec the files are huge.

              so i choose: quick time

              then which codec shall i choose?

              i found no mp4 format in my program

              and anyways each time i'm choosing the preset or the codec it changes automatically when the preset changes to custom and the codec changes to h.264

               

              can you please demonstrate the exact process with a photo shoot?

               

              thanks,

                I can't say for sure what your source codec is, but judging from the filenames on your timeline, it looks like you shot with a Canon DSLR. The codec for Canon MOVs is H.264, as far as I know.

                 

                So, my recommendation would be to export with the following settings:

                Format: Quicktime

                Codec: H.264

                Quality: 100%

                Resolution: 1920x1080

                Frame rate and field order will depend on what you shot in. Look in your project window for this information.

                Aspect: Square Pixels
                See below for reference.
                If you find that your filesize is too high, check "Limit data rate" and experiment with different values. Higher values = better quality and larger file sizes. Smaller values = worse quality and smaller file sizes.
