Out of interest - what is the best way to speed up compression? Even if it means compromising on quality?
Here's a scenario - we did a shoot, where we just filmed 3 guys being interviewed, and lasted around 10 mins. A previous company supposedly imported and gave her the footage there and then. I tried it and it just ended up taking far too long. I mean is it best to give them the uncompressed imported video, or is there a really quick way to compress it to supply straight away. Does compressing it to a different format help or say using a different codec?
How can I export videos quickly so the client can receive it as soon as poss rather than spending 2 hours exporting a 30 min video?!
It depends on what editing software you're using. 2 hours for 30 minutes is a long time, and I'd have to assume you're using some bitch of a compression type.
If it's possible to give them a full quality quicktime without an editor codec than I'd do that. Though you haven't mentioned how you get it from your system to the client.
