Parameters for Your Web Video

Credit for these parameters goes to Nic Floro of SealWorks, Valley Forge PA.

Web video needs to balance:

Quality (best quality: biggest file size)

Dimensions (full screen: biggest file size)

File Size (too large: internet connection and/or computer "times out"/"hangs" just plain doesn't work.

Use these parameters that meet this balance:

Dimensions: 320 pixels x 240 pixels

Audio: Mono

FPS (Frames per second): 15 fps

Rendering Method: 2 pass variable bit rate

First pass logs needed changes; Second pass makes the changes. Process produces smaller and smoother videos.

Format: Streaming versions of any of the following

MOV (Quicktime)

MP4 (Quicktime)

FLV (Adobe)
