![]() Now I don't actually recommend using most of these options. If we select iTunes we can see we are given some standard options here, we're gonna see this repeated a lot in some of this menus here. The first part of this menu here gives you some very quick options like sharing directly to iTunes, to iDVD, the Media Browser which is a shared library between programs like iDVD, garage band and other things and right up to YouTube and right up to MobileMe Gallery. So you can find all your export options under share in iMovie and there are a ton of them. So instead of addressing it from that viewpoint, let just look at all the different options and talk about them. It all depends on what you plan on using the video for, what the original quality of the video was, where you end up putting the video, all sorts of different things. So I often get asked, what are the best settings for me to export my video from iMovie. Today's episode, let's look at iMovie export options. Video Transcript: Hi this is Gary with MacMost Now. If anyone has better compression settings, or a better method, please let me know.Check out MacMost Now 374: iMovie Export Settings at YouTube for closed captioning and more options. The drawback to this is that a 2.2 GB AVI file turned into a 10.4 GB mov file, but the quality appeared to be the same to me. If you have the window open at larger than actual size, the rendering of the video will be at that larger size, and will be pixelated. One quick tip about this method is that the video must be set at "Actual Size" ("View", "Actual Size"). If you have to upload the file online (or will share with a PC user), check that and select "Fast Start". ![]() I unchecked "Prepare for Internet Streaming", as I'm going to burn the file to DVD. Audio settings I used were: Linear PCM format, channels (same as the source) Rate (same as source) Render Quality at Best Linear PCM settings sample rate at 16 (though 24 would work fine too, I think) Little Endian checked. I used "Movie to Quicktime Movie" with H.264 compression current Frame Rate automatic Key Frames Frame Reordering checked Quality at Best Encoding at Best Quality (Multi-pass) Data Rate at automatic. Then export the file ("Saving As" won't work). ("Preserve Aspect Ratio" should be checked as well). Transparency should be set to "Premultiplied Alpha". Click on the "Visual Settings" and change the Layer of Video Track 2 to "0"- which is the same layer as the main video. Select "Video Track 2", which contains the subtitles. Go to "Show Movie Properties" under "Window". The file extension becomes M4V, which Toast can burn to DVD.Īnother method is to open the file in Quicktime. The drawback is that you can't mess with the settings (and 5.1 48 Khz audio gets down-sampled to stereo 44 Khz), but the quality of the video is decent. The subtitles should be burned onto the video track. Open your avi (or mov, and possibly your mkv) file in Quicktime Pro 7. Not to take away from the spectacularly helpful and illuminating tip proffered by admin (not to mention the concise brevity of said tip), but I found a couple of fixes that require Quicktime Pro (after days of exporting using Premiere, Compressor, Motion and FCP- with admittedly the most rudimentary knowledge): I've also encoded the video files with ffmpegx after loading the subtitles- same story plays fine in Quicktime, but subtitles don't get burned to DVD (plus, for some reason the audio is MUCH quieter). I've even soft-coded the subtitles with iSubtitle and also hard-coded the subtitles with RoadMovie. ![]() This process used to work in the prior version of Perian- even when I would re-encode 25 fps PAL to 29.97 fps NTSC and burn a dvd. I've tried setting the track number of the subtitle to the same track number of the video (track 0) and applying an alpha channel for the subtitles- plays fine in QT but still no success when burning a DVD. But when I encode (to NTSC 29.97 fps) then burn the AVI file to a DVD with Toast, the subtitles disappear. I have an AVI file (PAL at 25 fps) that loads srt subtitles (also at 25 fps) into Quicktime (through Perian) every time I play the video.
