Video Compression Suggestions
We are not definitely video experts, but some of our clients are quite good. We requested some tips and information from a client who is using Media Archives for longer (60+ minutes) video files. There are many different ways to edit, compress and encode video this is just one suggestion from a client who is producing good results. This client uses Final Cut Studio* by Apple for editing and Episode* by Telestream for conversion. We hope this information is helpful.
Step 1 - Export Video From Editing to Quicktime
For Shorter Videos: Export final video using the same settings as the original shoot. This will produce a larger file.
For Longer Videos: Export final video using Quicktime conversion setting to export as photo jpeg. This will produce a more compressed file but at higher quality.
Step 2 - Compress to FLV
Open the file using Episode* by Telestream. Convert the file as Flash8 VP6E. Convert the file to 300x400 (adjust the 320x240 template option). For web videos over about 30 minutes change the frame rate to 15fps.
Other FLV Encoding Software:
On2's products
Flix Pro* and
Flix Exporter* have received
good reviews for their FLV encoding. Be sure to read their information
completely and understand what is needed and what you are purchasing
before you buy.

*Episode by Telestream, Flix Pro, Flix Exporter and
Final Cut Studio are purchased 3rd party products. We do not own these programs and do not know how to use them, so we cannot support them. We also do not officially endorse or recommend either as a company. There are many other products available that can perform similar functions with greater or lesser results. These are merely the products this specific client uses.
