The smallest compression she's ever seenPosted by J.Corbett
i have a qt file that is 64.2mb i need to send it to a client for approval. how ever this person has no clue about file share. so i am wondering what is the best way to compress it to the smallest file so that i may email it.
there maybe others ways of doing this but i am completely unaware of what it may be other than mail it on a dvd. reward for this answer is a thank you and a little ego stroking for free
Clients for the most part are not tech-saavy. Even if you post a link to a posted server, your client will still have to download 63 megs to view it and if they have a dial-up modem, it's just gonna pi$$ them off because it will take forever...
I do this everyday - at least 3 times a day: I squash aprox. 850 MB :30 second commercials (Uncompressed 4:2:2) down to 320 x 240 / 29.97 fps / 22khz - 16 bit stereo = 2 to 4 MB TOTAL in Cleaner 6 using the Sorenson codec and I simply email them. They are so clean, the client can even read the disclaimer and hear the stereo pans. They play the clips in any browser & most email programs as long as Quicktime is installed. - Joey When life gives you dilemmas...make dilemmanade.
I agree with Joe about You Send It. Great discovery (thanks for the tip, Mike H.), but it takes one e-mail for every file sent -- I had to use Stuffit Archive to send the 80-odd TIFF files I e-mailed to my friend/web designer in New York. And the upload/download times are still massive. Reducing the file size effectively is still the best way to go.
