Pick and Choose Video Encoding Settings
I started this project with adobe illustrator.
Switched to Adobe Flash CS3.
From Flash CS3, I file export as a QuickTime movie following the guide encoding of current. I used the 30 frames per second as it give better quality.
Switched to QuickTime Pro, I opened and export it to
mp4 encoding using this information from Current "AdvancedUploadingVideoEggGuide.pdf" that states that:
<---current video encoding settings starts--->
The standard VideoEgg Publisher encodes video at 320 by 240 pixels, and a
single frame rate, 15 frames/second. As a general rule, if you wish to export your video at a higher frame rate, we recommend you export at a multiple of the frame rate your version of the Publisher encodes. For example, at the standard publisher frame rate of 15 frames/second, the recommended frame rates for your video would either be 30 frames/second or 15 frames/second.
Audio encoding is carried out in 16 bits with a 44.1 kHz sampling rate in a single channel (mono).
Rendering your video at higher resolutions such as 640 x 480 pixels will result in a higher quality video online; however, there is a considerable trade off in file size. In this guide, we will focus on a best practice to provide an optimal user experience.
<---current video encoding settings ends--->
From FlashCS3 I adjusted the size of the Movie to 640x480 px. resolution.
I am looking for getting a final and fair resolution after uploading it.
In designing we all learned to work on proportions and sizes, so the rule was to work (1/2x) or (1x) bigger. Therefore my initial size on Flash was adjusted to 640x480 expecting that the current "transcoder" will shrink it to 320x240 thus shrinking the pixels. In theory and practice it always work and we get a better resolution. Let me see how my last result come along. If you want to follow this discussion follow this link as well.
