Tips for better encoding with Quicktime
kenyabob (303 points) | Tue, 2006-06-27 00:05I have just made a film in Final Cut Pro, and I need to export it for the web.
Now, I have seen the quality of the trailers at apple.com (and most of apples quicktime movies), and they consistently manage to bring good quality, nice size and small download sizes. How do they do this?
Are there any guides available to better encoding for Quictime, you know, some hidden tricks to get the most of H.264?

On another note,
would it just be better to use compressor instead?
No it wont, well it will but errr it's still a headache game
It's such a tricky scene.. I spent the better half of forever to get good quality ...
Download th emacbreak podcast from itunes it has a great deal of effort to understand it all..
It's like this.. When you have lots of motion and colors moving fast you need to edit your Temporal, or different quality settings made for motion.. Like 3ivx has
Otherwise flat color backgrounds give a greaty deal of compression amounts off and save file size...
Even so , never compress something that is already compressed.. The file size will most ALways end up larger than it was...
Also videos over 6400 kbits / sec will not even show up on older safari versions and windows quicktime,, learned that the hard way
No mater what you use the only one I ever found to give the best compression image quality is ipods default quicktime export option.. But the file size is larger...
Also a great tool I use now is http://www.isquint.org/ it just works! And pretty fast,,
Have fun,, HA H HA there is no magic answer,, it matters on how bad image quality you want and how bad file size you want..
OH ! Compress the audio to ! 3200k
