Best Format for 60 Sec Multimedia Clip

Ray Sigmond wrote on 4/16/2006, 12:51 PM

One of my clients wants to post a 60 second clip for advertising purposes of the footage we shot. The company ask for the following format

Sorenson 3, 240 x 180, 15fps, 168kbit/s

or

MP3 with audio at 22khz mono, 32kbit/s

2.5 megabytes, 60 seconds long

when using Vegas and selecting quicktime with Sorenson 3, where does the 168kbit/s come into play, I am not finding the field to set that?

What do most of you guys set you clips at for multimedia and what file sizes are you getting for a 60 second clip? Is anyone using Sorenson Squeeze or Canopus ProCoder?

The 168kbit/s is for the video bitrate. It's in there... video tab --> change the data rate mode to something like two-pass variable bit rate (you'll need the pro sorenson3 codec version for that particular mode, type in the target rate into that box.

Vegas may not be able to encode quicktimes with mp3 audio.
You may need sorenson squeeze for that. Cleaner can do that too, but it seems that Discreet hasn't kept that program updated much. I can't remember what Procoder does.
