1. Re: Need to export HD in quicktime motion-jpegA
Colin Brougham Jan 13, 2011 7:32 AM (in response to Paul Lewis)...and I don't know if changing the size (px by px) would make it true high definition.
While there are other technical facets to it, the primary differentiating factor between standard definition and high definition is frame size. So, yes, changing the pixel dimensions to 1920x1080 with square pixels will give you "true high definition." Set your frame rate and field order as necessary according to your footage, and select MJPEG from the codec dropdown. There is no need to change any of the other codec options. Use the Quality slider to set the compression level; this may take some experimentation to find the sweet spot. Setting Quality to 100 is going to create a massive, unwieldy file; lower Quality settings will decrease the file size, but you will need to find the minimum you can go to and maintain an acceptable image. This will vary based on the content, largely.

Paul Lewis Jan 13, 2011 9:23 AM (in response to Colin Brougham)Thankyou for the info, I just adjusted the dimensions and changed the aspect to Square Pixels (1.0) to match my footage. Turned out great, left the quality and 90 because the files are going to be used as stock footage, and they're just 30 second clips.
Once again, thankyou for you help.
