If you have a moment, please let me know...

1. What is the current trend in codecs for Muvizu?

2. The basic procedure is to install the codec off the internet and then it will be an option in the Muvizu dropdown, correct?

3. After you have your Muvizu movie exported, what are some people's settings for video output from either Vegas or Premiere?

Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

There are some lengthy discussions about codecs elsewhere in the forum. Codec choice comes down to personal preference, quality and the video's eventual destination. MP4 files (like DIVX, XVID and H264) deliver excellent quality and small file sizes but are unsuitable for pushing through an editing pipeline. If you wanted to take a Muvizu video through something like Vegas or Premiere then I'd be looking at LosslessJPEG, DV or, better still, Muvizu's new TGA + WAV output. So, referring to your questions I'd say:




1. Look at the other posts and polls elsewhere on this forum

2. Yes, I believe so. Quicktime will not appear in Muvizu's list though

3. Depends on where your video is going to be published. In all cases export the largest, best quality video you can. For web services like youTube or Vimeo I'd go for a flavour of MP4 file.

So the Muvizu TGA+wav is built in to .13b? Or do I have to install it off the internet somewhere?

Finally, if anyone has a spare moment for a screenshot(s) of the final output screen(s) from Vegas or Premiere I would be thankful. Somtimes figuring the final settings are like working through a tax form.
Thanks!

It's built into Muvizu. When you do Make Movie at the point that it asks for a file name go to the drop down box below the filename and select Targa Sequence. You probably want to make a new folder though as there will be a lot of files generated.

I don't really use vegas or Premiere so I can't help you on that question.
