VideoStudio :: Compression Settings For QuickTime MOV
Dec 17, 2010
Any recommendation for a quicktime .mov compression setting that results in good quality and a manageable file size?
Pro X3
Windows Vista
I'm doing a video and the client requested the final product as a quicktime file. I've had good results with creating .wmv files but haven't had much luck with .mp4 or .mov files. Using the "custom" option under "create video file" I select "Quicktime Movie Files" as the type. Every compression option I choose comes out crappy and a very small file size. When I select "no compression" the video looks great, but it's almost 2 gigs (the video is only about a minute long). The client will be uploading this video to a product page on Amazon and I think they have a maximum file size, probably around 500 MB.
I hope to convince the client to just accept a .wmv or maybe even a .flv file instead since I think Amazon accepts both of those. But in an effort to give them what they want, I hope to deliver in a .mov format.

very slow saving of TIFF files I came across several articles online ("The Mac Performance Guide" being one of them) mentioning that if you turn off compression for TIFF files it'll take a lot less time. The problem is I can't seem to find any compression settings at all.
I'm using Photoshop CS4 on a Mac, mostly editing via Lightroom 3 first (I suspected the issue being that Lightroom opens up the files as 16 bit in Photoshop, but even 8 bit images in Photoshop won't give me any compression options). The above link specifies CS3, CS4 and CS5, so it should be in there somewhere.

I got a new laptop and loaded VS x4 on it. I have a complex edit that I started on my big desktop, where everything worked fine. I have a mix of AVCHD and MOV (1080i QuickTime) files, and they work together with no problem on the desktop computer.
However, the new laptop simply can't "see" the QuickTime files. I can't load them into the Library, so I can't re-link them in my project. I updated my version of VS x4 to SP2 on this computer, and still no go with the MOV files. How do I get VS to recognize the MOV files?
Edit: I can play the MOV files on the computer and I loaded the latest version of QuickTime. But VideoStudio still doesn't recognize QuickTime (MOV) files. MOV is not a selection in the drop-down list when I choose formats of videos to load into the Library.

I've tried to compile videos in Quick time format at 800 x 600, 65% quality, using MPEG4 compression and each time it compiles at a much lower resolution than it should be, I used the Indeo compression for AVI and THAT compiles to my liking at 800 x 600, 65% quality, DivX is only free for 15 days, Xvid and Windows Encoder makes no difference (that can be noticed), Quicktime, DirectX and Windows Media Player is up to date.
I'll try compiling it using a compressor other than MPEG-4, but I'm not too hopeful of improvement, why it can compile AVI, but not Quicktime, I tried batch converting AVI to Quicktime, it still doesn't work.

How to render HD 1920 x 1080 video clips into the .mov, 1080p format required by my stock agency. I've gone into Share>Create Video File>Custom>Quicktime Movie Files>Options>General... but I am unable to find a 1920 x 1080 option. 800x600 is the highest setting with the default being 720x480. I'm using VS Pro X4 and also tried X2.
Original clip info for one camera: Type H.264, 24 bits, 1920x1080p, 16:9, 59.94fps Vari. bit rate 26,000

I did a ton of research on Video Editing software and decided to try VS Pro X4 first due to it's ease of use (good for me) and capabilities that I can grow into. So far I would say the experience has been positive and feel I could happily settle in with VS Pro X4 for the long haul, but have just a couple of questions I would like to resolve first. They may not be issues at all, but more due to my lack of knowledge, but figured experienced users like yourselves would be able to determine that in short order.
I've split my questions into separate (3) threads so that people don't have to suffer through content they're not interested in. Here's a brief run down on where I'm at and what I'm trying to do.
I'm about half-way through my 30day trial of VS Pro X4, and starting to feel a little more comfortable with the software, but a few things are still puzzling me. Granted I've only scratched the surface of the SW capabilities so far.
I'm a complete newbie to this digital video stuff, however I'm not a complete newbie to computers. Basically I have a shoeobox of old 8mm camcorder tapes (analog) and have finally decided to take the plunge and digitize them, mainly because we never end up watching the tapes 'cause it's such a pain.
First question; A friend of mine is letting me borrow his ADVC300 converter, connected to a Firewire400 card in my PC. VS Pro X4 capture works fine, was able to capture an entire 8mm tape. It was an entire tape because that's the way it was taped, it was a music performance so the tape ran through the whole show. I was able to add a simple title and burn to a DVD disc. What should I expect for MPEG compression when burning to a DVD? I couldn't fit it all on one DVD disc, had to split it into two discs, not a big deal, just thought the mpeg conversion would have compressed it more? Maybe that's wishful thinking on my part? It's a 2 hour & 2minute video which equals a large ~8.7Gb raw DV capture file through the ADVC. I know a DVD is 4.7Gb max so obviously the 8.7Gb raw file won't fit, but is 2:1 compression/conversion expecting too much for the mpeg conversion? Maybe there's some options I should be using to compress it more?
All in all I'm pretty happy with the ADVC to digital capture functions with VSPx4 so far.

I use Corel PaintShop X3 for my photo’s so logic says if I want to edit videos I need VideoStudio X4!
I have HD video taken on a Canon G12 camera which is a MOV file. When played on my Windows computer it opens in QuickTime.
My question is will Videostudio X4 upload the MOV files OK for editing and can I convert to play on QuickTime or Windows WMP?

I am creating video in FLV (custome mode). The only audio compression option is PCM which makes video too big.
How do I add different audio compression codec for FLV video? With other video formats/codecs mpeg-4 I have many moore audio compression options, but not for FLV.

I was using Premiere Elements 2.0. I have an issue on exporting my video to YouTube via MP4: I can't seem to change the compression ratio, it seems fixed at 128k. This lousy ratio is causing compression artifacts given that the source audio has a low level hiss.
How can I improve the compression?

I never had a problem exporting my projects as Quicktime MOV files until a few months ago. Now it seems when I create a QT file they come out blurry/ fuzzy/unusable. I have uninstalled/reinstalled VSPX3 and QT (and have tried to do it on several computers) but nothing has worked.

I have ProX3 and am trying to create .mov PhotoJPEG video clips. I'm trying to decrease the compression quality since I'm uploading these clips to stock video footage websites. However, when I go to export the video, under the Compression screen the Quality area is grayed out at 100% and won't let me move the tab over to decrease it. How to change it?

I just purchased VideoStudio. My needs are extremely basic, but I've found one issue that I wouldn't have expected, that is, when I go to save a video and choose MP4, H-264 Main, 1280x720, the compression does not allow you to go below 5000 kbps.
I think this is a good base line, but to not allow you to go below this figure is frustrating. Is there a way to update the limiter so you can go beneath this without changing anything else?

I know there must be a thread or post about the best MPEG settings when you are going through the steps to burn a DVD, but did a search and came up with nothing.
Those items in bold are checked in X4.
In the MPEG properties
● Do not convert
● Support X-Disc
● Two pass conversion
● Treat MPEG audio as non-DVD compliant
● Auto fade
● Play all
● Auto repeat
Lower field first?
Under Change MPEG settings/Customize do any of you change anything? General Tab and Compression? I know to move the slider under compression to 100%. Not sure about the rest.

I have been a user of previous versions of VS...but my last version was VS12 because I didn't like version 3 or 4. Finally I am trying Pro X5 on a trial. I completed a project in Pro X5 but now I want to save it out to my computer. The problem is that when I want to save it I am missing my compression options. My standard procedure was to go --> Share --> Save File --> Custom --> Options --> Compression and I could choose from 8 different Media Types...Now, in Pro X5 I only get 2 compression types...NTSC and PAL..
Here are some screenshots...
Version 12:
Version X5:
I have them both currently installed at the moment. Obviously, only running one at a time

Why has my rendered DVD turned out to be 'square' looking on our wide screen? I want the video to fill the screen entirely. We have a flat screen LED tv. I set the rendering to 16.9 but must have made a big mistake.

I transferred some VHS tapes to DVD in VS 10+. They looked very good on my older 26" TV. We recently purchased a 42" flat screen HD and a Bluray DVD player that up converts DVD to near HD. When I played my DVDs that I converted from VHS the video quality is decreased. I burned the VHS tapes to DVD format, 29.97 rate, 7000 bitrate constant 720x480. What is the better format to transfer VHS to DVD?

I just finished building my first "serious" (i.e., with lots of clips, titles, sound track, etc.) video for YouTube. It runs about 7 minutes.
I used Video Studio 8 to develop the project. I tried rendering it in the .avi format with no compression, and ended up with something that runs slowly and has the audio badly out of synch. The file size, of course, is huge.
What format and settings are recommended for a project that is going to be put on YouTube? (I would like to use 640 x 480 if possible. That's the size used to build the project).

I'm trying to create a blu-ray movie that contains AVCHD videos of various vacations that I've been on over the past year (just your typical collection of home movies), but I've had problem after problem in trying to create the damn thing. I've used VS Pro X4 to create four individual movies (representing four different vacations, each saved as vsp files); I then created my "menu file" to compile all four movies into a single blu-ray with each one having menu buttons that then go to chapter sections. Then, due to VSX4 never completing a successful burn, I simply had it create the Blu-Ray folders and then used ImgBurn to burn them to disc.
ANYWAYS, what kind of project settings do I need to be using in VS? I will be playing the disc in a PS3 (not sure if that matters as opposed to a regular BD player). I finally managed to produce a successful burn, but it was only able to play once in my PS3 - for some reason after it initially played fine, it wouldn't play again even though there was no damage to the disc. The disc was a BD-RE DL by Maxell. I had previously tried BD-DL Verbatim discs, but I was never able to finish a burn with those.
I'm just trying to figure out why I'm having so much trouble getting my movie from my computer to a playable disc!! Dx
Here are my current project settings:NTSC drop frame (29.97 fps)MPEG files24 bits, 720 x 480, 29.97 fpsUpper Field First(DVD-NTSC), 16:9Video data rate: Variable (Max. 8000 kbps) LPCM Audio, 48000 Hz, StereoAnd here is a screenshot of my Share > Create Blu-ray properties: click.
Blu-ray burner that I'm using: Matshita BD-MLT U240AF. It is connected via USB cable to my Vista 64 laptop. All of my drivers are up to date.

I have been trying to burn a Blu Ray project. It is a 108 minute compilation of HD material that I assembled over the last year and am scheduled to show it Christmas Eve for my family. The project burns fine to a Blu Ray disk and plays back fine however for some reason, it will only burn in stereo and not Dolby 5.1. I have 5.1 sound enabled in the settings and when I burn the disk it is also the audio format I have chosen. I have burned two disks with the same results. I burned a test Blu Ray of this project back in November and it was encoded correctly in 5.1.

I have run into a roadblock -- I am having trouble authoring my DVD. I have watched the tutorials and read (and re-read) the User Guide.
I used my Canon HF S200 to shoot video of family reunions. It is about 2 1/2 hours long and I have about 32 chapters. I am ready to burn a DVD. but my chapters weren't appearing in the DVD Preview.
Further investigation showed that my project is 10.01 GBs and that my DVD only has 4.38 GB usable space.
It doesn't make sense to me. I rent Hollywood movies all the time that are nearly 3 hours long -- and those are certainly much more detailed than my little video.
I really don't want to split this project into 3 DVDs == that would be stupid.
How can I adjust settings so that my DVD fits -- and all of my Chapters appear in the DVD Preview prior to burning? I would like wide screen setting.

basically I record using the hauppauge HD-PVR which records the clips in the M2TS format. I've been using Videostudio Pro X3 to edit the files and rendering them and have had no problems until now. I used to render my videos using the WMV HD 720 25p setting and the quality has always been perfect.
Recently though I tried to render a video using the same setting and it renders the video really quickly and the quality looks terrible.How to fix it so it renders the way it used to or would know another format that would give me the same results?
I was thinking of re installing pro X3 in the hope of it working the way it used to but i don't know if i will lose all my projects that i'm currently working on.

I have just installed trial of VideoStudio Pro X4 and have owned the X2 version for some time already. Although I can always save a video file in HD format (1920x1180) I think it's best if the 'Project Settings' are already at this resolution. I was always able to set project resolution in version X2 but seems I can't in the new version X4. I think it's because I can only set the 'media type' to DVD in version X4. see attached picture. Is this because I only have trial version or is there less functionality in the new version?

There's a section of my video that needs a bit more saturation, especially with an effect, but applying it just "jumps" it in. Is it possible to keyframe the saturation? Or is there an effect that has a saturation control so I can add it as an effect and keyframe it's levels from there?

I have a Logitech webcam (not the best, but not the worst) connected to my Windows XP 32 Bit computer. (Yes, I realize I need to upgrade. We are working on that.) However, I make YT videos on a regular basis for crafting, and have recently started using Corel VideoStudio Pro X-5 Ultimate to capture via webcam and edit my videos. When I go to watch the video after it's been captured, the sound "skips" during the video. Words will be cut off, but the video looks fine. The actual video itself doesn't skip.
I'm wondering what the best setting would be to capture a video via webcam so that it is a smooth picture/sound (as smooth as a mid grade Logitech cam will do, of course), and have the file not be 3gb. Since I upload these to YT (not via the YT uploader), the smaller the file, the better, within quality reason.
