Finally satisfied

[Walter Baker]

had to do a lot of rendering it took a lot of time to work out the bugs.

I can live with this

Tell me what you all think and any improvements I could do.

Thanks

Something's wrong with the video. It's only 4.8 K and does not play.

[Walter Baker]

the original is 12 sec. 640x480 QT so it is over 300 mg

changed size to 320x240 still to big

Not sure how to make it smaller so I can load it,?

[Walter Baker]

I just tested it in Camino, Safari, and Firefox and it played with each.

[steve392]

No I don't get it either on IE

what codec are you using with QT

I find the h264 very good btw I would like to know the steps you take using icarus I find it complicated

[thekamps]

didn't work in IE for me either.

Downloaded it and I get "Error -2000 a necessary data reference could not be resolved (crussingtest9a.mov)" when opening.

I just get a quicktime screen but its blank...

[Gerry]

me no see.

[robcat2075]

I'm going to guess that's a non "self-contained" quicktime file that is referencing the actual movie on Walters HD.

 

How did you put this together? Was Quicktime Pro in any step?

[higginsdj]

You need to render it to a compressed form. There is no reason you can't compress a 12 second video (with Audio) at 640 x 480 to less than 4mb (H.264 will easily do this).

 

How are you rendering it? QT option in AM's render window? If so then you can adjust the compression settings.

 

Cheers

Sorry Gang

Here is a new one to try.

I exported it in QT at the attached settings, hope it works.

I will render it tonight and see if I can get it right.

you are doing something wrong .....is impossible to archieve an animation using a size and quality reasonable in only 4K.. post the original one ...

I am not even sure if the Icarus file is included with this, I have fiddled around, removed, and changed so much with this I don't know what I did.

LOL

 

These are the websites I have for Icarus.

I downloaded the tuts and have them where I can got through them over and over but it is still some what complicated.

I got Voodoo and PFhoe and just way to confusing, I liked SynthEyes but don't have $400 to get the working version.

I will keep working on it, sooner or later I will figure it out.

As Robcat asked, did you use/do you have QT Pro? That would do what you need to do, $29 still afaik, easy to figure out or ask here.

[robcat2075]

I ask about QT pro because that has an option to save something you've imported as not "self-contained" and just save a "reference" file which is not the actual movie. It's remotely conceivable that that is the problem.

 

But if you didn't use QTPro, I can't imagine how it happened.

 

 

Tell us the workflow from A:M...

 

You rendered a movie in A:M... and then what?

[steve392]

Thank's Walter,not to worry Ill get it soon as I can get to it ,to busy walkin and runnin lol

[higginsdj]

His settings screen shot looks like a QTPro (for mac) window to me....

 

Cheers

[Walter Baker]

Thanks Gang for the support
