Heather- What is your intended output for this video (does it have to be below a certain size?), and what is the video content? Is it actual video (from a DV camera or similar) or is it animation, or a combination of different sources?
Your best option for pristine quality (and subsequently a large file size) is to use .MOV as the container and Animation as the codec. Though I'm a little uncertain as to how many options iMovie gives you in the export function. // Daniel On Wed, Jul 1, 2009 at 11:26 AM, Heather Marie Wells < hmwells at springdalear.gov> wrote: > > Hi all, > > I'm looking for suggested settings when exporting a video from iMovie. > Currently I've been using the export using QuickTime option but the > resulting MP4 file looks really pixilated. > > I can't figure out if I'm using a bad frame rate, a bad bit rate, a bad > output dimension or what.
