hi, i am working on a video with premiere but i am unsure how to produce it from avi format to quiktime movie. would somebody know what software converter i would need to do this with? i have got premiere 5 on windows xp laptop. my aim is to make a webpage and to attach the quiktime movie as a small window that can be clicked into larger view on page..i've got some code information for that bit of the production process.

Hi,

What you want to do is convert the .AVI file to a .MOV (quicktime movie) that uses a CODEC that maintains quality, whilst shrinking the file size significantly. Just converting it to a .MOV wont actually shrink it.

A great program to use is "Sorenson Squeeze 4":

I have found that 5min videos at 20MB still look decent.
This program offers a lot of compression options in a number of formats, from flash, avi, mpeg1, 2, and 4, mov, wmv, realtime and each one offer their own level of compression presets which are all customisable!

Just make sure you export from premiere an uncompressed avi.
If you have problems understanding any technical info on the compression, such as what a 1-pass is, or 2-pass, or what data rate, codec etc etc just leave a message I should be able to help.

As far as the code for the website goes this is what i use:

hi, thanks. erm..would it be okay with the quiktime pro 7? does somebody know if this would convert the avi because now when i think about it if that would do the job it might..maybe the easiest solution...hm, what do you think? it's the lack of money,,here....

Set a restore point before you install anything

Free programmes are worth a look
