When I export video as quicktime, it is REALLY choppy when I play it on my laptop.

is it just the fact that my computer can't handle it, or is the exporting process gone awry?

going to try and watch it on another computer and see if it smooths out.
 
What format/codec are you saving to? Quicktime covers a wide range of codecs. Some with very high quality that have difficulty playing fro ma disk drive in real time and others that are compressed a lot but play at full speed.
 
Have you tried selecting the "High Quality" setting within Quicktime? The setting can be found in the "Movie Properties" or "Movie Info" menu option.

Having suggested that, I have to say selecting "HQ" usually only sharpens the playback. It may not cure your choppiness.

If it's in DV format the high setting will improve the look but the playback will suffer. By default it plays low res so it can play at speed.
 
ok, it's just my computer

I have another problem though

when I export in quicktime, I try and play it, and it freezes. But the thing is, if I fast forward to 0:01, it plays.

anyone know the problem?
