It will allow for fine-tuning, and you can easily set it up to execute many different compressions on one file at once.elrayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14152541454082614480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5980162529865976522.post-40369264543754056432012-06-18T20:07:57.141-07:002012-06-18T20:07:57.141-07:00Well, personally going big isn't that bad. it’...Well, personally going big isn't that bad. it’s easier to downgrade the quality than it is to do the opposite and in an ideal situation you had the better files. (better to have ridiculous quality than no quality)<br /><br />Will be interesting to see what file size you come in with for the final.Clonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07150225697321981839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5980162529865976522.post-67618487711459380372012-06-18T20:05:56.275-07:002012-06-18T20:05:56.275-07:00You can compress directly out of Final Cut its jus...You can compress directly out of Final Cut its just a little buried because Apple be leaves that people shouldn't see anything "nerdy". its a good strategy, looks clean and for the most part does what most people want.<br /><br />What I was using was Adobe Media Encoder. it comes with all Adobe sweet’s and has direct integration with most adobe programs. i can compress either in the specific program or export the project to compress in the encoder.<br /><br />Fine Cut can do a similar trick with an apple compressor (don’t know the name) that the teacher briefly mentioned a month ago. If you had asked this in class I or some one else could of probably been able to show it.Clonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07150225697321981839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5980162529865976522.post-18173889422030280072012-06-18T15:48:10.655-07:002012-06-18T15:48:10.655-07:00I appreciate you writing a blog to go with your pr...I appreciate you writing a blog to go with your presentation. Writing is often hard to follow, but you gave us a visual that we can now go back and connect to your text. I find that the courses here do not touch on compression when that can make or break a piece as presentation is everything. I had one question, can I compress straight from final cut? Or do I need to use a separate software like you did today?Jennifer Shermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00074920216122708545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5980162529865976522.post-9308476226380947682012-06-18T06:17:17.676-07:002012-06-18T06:17:17.676-07:00I think I am a dummie when it comes to compression...I think I am a dummie when it comes to compression, especially since I come to class with the biggest files. This was really helpful, especially the definition part - you did a great way of explaining it. For my final project I will try and use this information and hopefully come to class with an HD compressed video.Brandon Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16604312280852465654noreply@blogger.com
