I'm not sure how you guys are doing it. I'm using CS5 and am trying to get this under 60MB and cant. Any tips for settings. I guess I could export something like a 480x320 and stay under..

For 720 x 480 or whatever you aspect ratio is set it to stick to 1.6 Mbps or so and you should be close. Target and maximum at the same.

Format: H.264 Preset: Custom. VBR 1 pass. Enter your frame width and height. Check use maximum render quality near the bottom.

I used CS5 for mine. It also tells you what it thinks the projected size will be. It projected 75mb and came in at 56 or so. It will also depend on the length of your film. You can go at a higher bit rate if you didn't go the full 6 minutes.

For 5 minutes you could set it to 2.2 Mbps.

Sound: AAC, 48 kHz, Audio Quality: High, 128kbps

Looks and sounds good.

H.264 will be your best compression/smallest files. You can adjust your quality settings too if you don't need double pass quality in FCP/Compressor
 
100 MB! Extra room. Sweet!

But I might keep my video to 60 MB and pack the other 40 megs with Doritos. I know we all get hungry while watching the entries. :)
 
I had a headache over this tonight, so maybe my settings will help :)
The PDF above was okay for DVX camera 2 years ago... but a lot of us are shooting HD now and want to take full advantage of that, no?

Export as Quicktime Movie...
Compression type H.264
Data Rate: Restrict to: 2250
Keyframe Every 24
Audio AAC / Stereo / 44.1Khz / 192 (I think)

For me, I didn't do any resizing... straight out at 1280 x 720 (movie shot at 720p60)

File ended up at around 96mb for 5 1/2 minutes of video.

I also tried MP4 with H.264 compression at the same bitrate. Thought the file size was similar, the video visibly lost more quality.
 
Here's something I got to work:

I was using 1080 footage in a 720 timeline:

File>export>using quicktime conversion
Under "use" select "LAN / Intranet"
Then click "Options>size>HD 720p" (even though the timeline is already set for this, the "use" selection from above throws it to 640 x 480 I believe)

My 3 minute 45 second short was compressed to 42 MB.
