Export QuickTime Movie

[Ian Palmer]

Hey all,

I've been exporting mixes for review as a QT for years now. We've just upgraded my mix studio to PT8 HD.

Before you would export the QT, set the audio settings and it would stitch the audio onto whichever QT was online in the session. Easy and quick.

Now it's taking a bloody age as PT is re-encoding the H264 QT into another H264 QT instead of simply copying it. Am I missing something here? The new options window is identical to QTPro (which I have QTPro7 installed).

Cheers

Ian

H.264 is a less-than-optimal codec for PT in general. And this is probably better answered in the Post forum. I've had good luck using QT Pro to extract the video track and merged the new audio into a new H.264 file. Kind of clunky, but much faster than waiting for PT to re-export.

Sorry there's not an easier suggestion.

I was having the same problem, Quicktime Pro is the fastest work-around I'm afraid...
