Quicktime Tips

I post a lot of movies & I often get asked what the best way is to optimize video for the web. So forever in the left column I had a “Here Soon (possibly)” thing saying I was going to post my tips for optimizing video for the web using Quicktime Pro. It’s nothing fancy by any means – but a lot of newbie digital camera users have the option for 30sec-1min video clips packaged in their nifty little camera, but then don’t know how easy it is to take those 7MB files and make them only 1MB or so for the web & email.

So, it’s pretty basic – and I’m sure could use some advice from someone who’s played around with it more… but here’s my Tips on Optimizing Quicktime Vids – and even a How-To on making Poster Frames.

And show me your movies! Or better yet – submit them to WeeklyDV.com!

  1. Fin-a-lly :) you’ve decided to go for comments. I learned that many don’t want ppl. to comment at all, but why not give it a try. Wish you only good comments!! Man, where do you take all this time from for this busy bee-iness?!

    Thanks Anissa! (mademoiselle a. :)

    oh, I’m afraid I don’t juggle it all as graciously as I could. There’s many things *not* getting done buy my being so busy: my house not getting cleaned, i’m not painting or drawing *at all* :*( , I’m not calling my brother or cousins enough, I’m not taking darren (boykani) out to lunch like I told him I would, I’m not going to lunch with Deanna or teaching Matt some photoshop tricks like I said I would. I’m not able to even go to Target to get the new file cabinet/organization thingies I need!! *sigh* I’ll leave it at that :) But, I think I’m almost caught up… and I just may have a teeny bit more free time. I just have to keep pluggin away.

    Not that you asked for such a long explanation.. but now I’ve got the list – ha!

    Glad you like the comments and so glad you said hello -I haven’t heard from you in awhile, nice to know you’re still out there!
