If you're doing a screen capture to create footage from Google Maps, the resolution of the image, the frame-rate, and the compression codec will all be determined by the capture program. If you tell us what software you're using to create the original files, and with what settings, we can help you.

'Resolution' is the dimensions of the image in pixels, e.g. 1920x1080 for 1080P Quicktime is a CONTAINER format that be used as a wrapper for many different codecs. File size is a product of resolution + frame rate + codec efficiency. Your already captured footage is compressed, the question is with what codec. What you've tried to do it seems is not compress the footage (which would not change the resolution) by down-rex it. That is, I assume the frame is bigger than 1920 x 1080 and you want to make it 1920x 1080. If you're getting cropping, you just have the settings wrong. If you can open the footage in Quicktime Pro 7, then Export / As Quicktime Movie / Options... / Settings = (pick your preferred editing codec and framerate: probably either ProRes or Apple Intermediate and 24fps / Size 1920x1080 / uncheck 'Sound' if it's silent. _______________________________________________ FrameWorks mailing list [email protected] https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks
