Save to bin before closing, don't wait til closing it. Maybe that will help.

Oh, yes, there is a name for this problem, I've experienced it too - something like "synch drift,", and it's an easy fix, I believe a tweak in the graphics card settings if I recall. If you search this forum, you will find posts which tell you what to do - I can't remember how myself, but I found the remedy here and it's worked

I did not know that - I need to review my books and reread the stuff about bit rates. thanks!

[quote user="malefunktion"]Okay, with that information, I'd go with this: Video Size: 400x300 Video Bitrate: 750Kb/s - 1000Kb/s (1Mb/s) Audio Sampling: 44.1KHz or 48KHz Audio Bitrate: 128Kb/s - 192Kb/s H264 is an excellent compression system, and in conjunction with AAC audio there's not much else out there to compare it with.[/quote

I actually exported it originally as 400x300 -- which is what I'd rather give her -- but then made it smaller hoping it would reduce its file size. I do belive you're right - my bitrates are probably too high. I have to keep the audio high, though because it's a video of my friend singing and it needs to be the best possible audio. I will

Hi all, I wonder if there's some setting I don't know about when exporting from AXP to make a QT file. I made a 5-min. video for a friend who needs it on her site. I need to limit the size to 100mb because her webhost imposes that size limit for video uploads. I want the file to be the best quality and I'm using h264 codec, with a window

Thanks! Oh, and I have to also say I am grateful that Avid makes this Forum available to all users, because every question or issue I have gets answered here.

[quote user="Redstreak"]In other words, the answer to the title of this thread is, "because they don't care about students." Apple and Adobe care about students, and they show that fact in a hundred different ways. In 20 years or so, Avid will be gone, because the next generation of film editors will have passed them by.[/quote

Cool - thanks!
