Hi there all,
So I finished editing a short documentary for a client and he is going to put the video on his new CD release as a bonus in addition to the music. Now that the video is ready for export I was wondering what would be the best way to go about keeping the quality but while reducing the files size to around 120mb.
Facts:
-I shot the footage on an canon vixia hf21 HD camcorder.
-I'm using final cut pro 7 to edit
-The video is around 10mins
-client wants the size of the video around 640x480 (I'm going to give him 640x360 because it looks better, also the dimensions isn't as important as the size)
-the video has to be 120mb or less.
I was messing around the exports setting and got 350mb exporting as h.264 best quality dimensions 640x360 but as result but stretch out to full screen on my lap top the low res quality was very notice able (obviously because it's stretched out)
Should I be looking in compressor? Any advise would be helpful thanks.
