Compressing files.

[Aschu]

What is the best way to compress a video file? I'm not to knowledgeable on the output end of video's.

I made a music video in FCE and just used export to quicktime and thats all. Is there any way i can make the file smaller? I wanted to upload it on myspace and facebook to start.

Thanks. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

You have to "Export" "Using QuickTime Conversion" and then click on "Options" to adjust the clip parameters.

Use the H.264 codec, framerate: current, keyframes every 24 (default), quality: high, size (for YouTube): 640x360 (16:9) or 480x360 (4:3), audio format: AAC.
