harro 0 #1 December 10, 2003 Hi ya all, I havent posted here for a while. I have been busy playing with my video's and have run into a bit of a problem. Im using Media Studio Pro to edit my video's and they are mostly Mpeg4 format. They are coming out at 100 MB on average. I was just wondering if anyone knew how to bring this size down ?? Post or e-mail me please. I have some cracker video's to show but they are just too big for download or upload Bloo onesJumpy Jumpy?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But generally if you want a smaller file size you can do the following: reduce bit rate reduce resolutioin reduce frame rate. all of them reduce the quality. My way of compression for the internet is compressing with DivX and VirtualDub.If it does not cost anything you are the product. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spike 0 #3 December 10, 2003 Try using Divx here to recompress your footage. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nacmacfeegle 0 #4 December 10, 2003 You can play with different codecs, they will make a difference, but you can also resize the frames. If you bring the dimensions down to say 320x 240-ish, the file size will reduce dramatically. 240x180 will be even more dramatic. Below that its not really worth watching.... Also check to make sure your sound isn't still at CD quality etc...... Can't help you with MSP I use premiere...-------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

harro 0 #5 December 11, 2003 I have a copy of premiere but havent made head nor tails of it yet. Might have to load it up again and have a more serious play with it. Thanks for the info guysJumpy Jumpy?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nacmacfeegle 0 #6 December 11, 2003 "Might have to load it up again and have a more serious play with it. " Premiere 6 onwards comes with a plug in that enables export video for web settings, its a wee programme called media cleaner....It simplifies the resizing and recompression of your videos in a nice easy no stress way. I you are happy doing the main edit in MSP, what I might be tempted to do would be to finalsie your cut in full res on MSP, then export the final movie to the cam, and re-capture the finished product as a complete avi then just drop it on the timeline in Premiere for media cleaner to work on. This means you have a full res backup, just in case, you know..... It also means you don't have to start on the learning curve all over with Premiere.-------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.
