Compressor settings

[indigo]

I've edited a small feature on the Tsjuki fish market in Japan. I'm happy with the edit but I've just not been able to compress it via H.264 so as to get a decent web up-loadable version.

Does anyone have any Apple Compressor (version 2) settings that I can use? I've used the best setting I can i.e. Lan download etc but have end up with something that makes YouTube look good

I'm using an HVX200, and 720 25p

indy,

YouTube is tough on the ol HVX.

To get a better looking image, try decreasing the total running time of your clip. For instance, if you're trying to compress 10 minutes, cut that in half and find the best 5 minutes to upload. And letterboxing helps compression, as I've found that the clean black bars require less "numbers crunching".

I compress a DVCPRO50 version of my HD footage using QuickTime Pro to make a letterboxed 320 x 240, h.264 clip.

See "bikefilms" on YouTube

peace,
andrew

Possibly, but more likely no at the moment, need to see how time goes! Why?
