time lapse mov using quicktime pro

(1/3) > >>

Hi all,

I tried to create a mov video using quicktime pro, but I found that the video is not smooth (it seems some frames are not showing) when i maintain the original size of image (4288x2848)..it plays smooth when it was smaller size of image.

anyone is willing to share? should i resize it to some standard format? thanks!

sharpshot:
I don't go bigger than 1920x1080, the full HD standard.  The clip is probably slowing down because your computer can't cope with it.

mtkang:
It seems like the problem, i tried to export as the standard format and it plays well..guess photo size is way to high resolution for video..

The bigger sizes can be used for the cinema but standard and HD TV are much smaller.

I just did one last weekend, still working on it. shot with a 20-D at "small" which is 1728 x 1152 and after processing it, I may reduce it to 720 x 480 for SS. That's the right size so I don't get rejections for "black bars" or top and bottom bars.

I don't know if people need full HD or if the smaller HD is useful. Figure this, if it's huge and takes computing power to display, and that's not online, how will someone use it? Well first thing, they will reduce the size.  :D

As for SS (since that's the only place I sell except Pond5) I just got a rejection for frame rate which is stupid, because it's an animation. So what will I do? Open the file, save it at 29FPS (identical to what it shows as, but now the same 15FPS will be 29FPS encoded.) If that's confusion and I'm at fault, I mean if it's a 20 second clip at 15FPS and I convert it to 29FPS and save, it's still a 20 second clip! So the whole thing is some nit picking rule about a minimum speed, that doesn't apply to time-lapse anyway.

OK so I play by the rules. My mistake. I should have known better.

The fact that I found a use for the 20-D and can save some time and space and steps by shooting at the smallest resolution, has made things easier. And sometimes I can even watch the time-lapse now, instead of just what you had happen. Jerky, computer lock ups, Windows Media Player hiccups and freezes.

Bigger isn't always better! Save some memory, make processing easier, and maybe make some sales? Good Luck.
