Macs suck...

Nice to see another Mac user.

On the paysite that I manage we are now putting the movies small, med, large, giant, plus ipod and iphone.

As far as bandwidth it shouldn't make any difference if your member's download or stream. Some like to stream and some like to download so starting with a few updates ago we started putting links for both as seen in this test template.

We use Episode Pro to encode our movies but it is an expensive program. I've never really used the H.264 export option in iMovie so I don't really know much about it but it should work although I hear it is painfully slow. The biggest issue for us with using the QuickTime export iMovie option is you really can't place a copyright image on the movie with it.

Episode Pro is a fantastic program but like I said very expensive. I saw Stomp on MacInTouch.com this week. It looks like it might be useful but I know nothing about it.

Also Elgato is making a hardware H.264 encoder that I see selling for around a hundred bucks. Haven't used it myself but it looks interesting.

Here is a screen shot of a directory showing file sizes of a 45 minute movie.

Thank you Cleo. I'll take a peek.

As far as copyright. iMovie has the ability to place text over the entire video. I have my url very opaque over the bottom of my videos.

I made the black bottom clear and the text lightened to about 30%. Then I simply stretch the text over the whole movie. I was very tickled to be able to do it finally. I need to keep things simple so Im very happy with the iMovie. Just want to get the file sizes down.

Crossing my fingers... ~A~

It's been a long time since I tried to do a copyright in iMovie so maybe things have changed but when I tried to do it as a filter the maximum duration for a clip was was under three minutes.

I mostly use Final Cut Express (FCE) these days. In FCE you can easily add a copyright since, unlike iMovie, you can have more then one video track so you can place an image or text in a track over the track that holds the movie. I never do it this way since I own Episode Pro but if I didn't this is how I would do it.

FCE has a bit of a learning curve but once you get the hang of it editing is actually easier in FCE then editing in iMovie.

Hi Angel,

I apologize as I have nothing to add to this thread, however, I would like to say a couple of things. One, you're very hot and you put on an A+ cam show and two, I would love if you updated your free hosted galleries a bit more often. I need new galleries for my surfers at http://www.milfgazette.com.

"We now return you to your regularly scheduled programming". Thanks.
