Film format

Hi I just joined and I have a question, I used a canon 60d Digital Slr camera, I have sony vegas, and premier elements 10 as conversion software.... On this site it asks for clips to be converted to mov Files.. but which quality, should I use.... I tried a 1 minute video and played it back in quick time the quality was low well viewed at a reasonable size it was, so which grade of mov should I use Any help would be great.. Thanks David

can any other formats be used..... my 2 pieces of software cover a lot thanks.... David

.mov JPEG quality 90 (never over 94%) square pixel progressive

Best of luck.

I always do 95% :-).

Depending on how large your files are you can use quality setting between 75 - 95% using photo-jpeg. higher quality setting will increase your file size. You can also use H264 which produce smaller files and are accepted by P5.

You should read the following:

Upload Guidelines

Before uploading your clips, please review our requirements for Media submissions. You can also mail in your Media on hard drive or data DVD.

These guidlines can be found on your upload page by kekyng on +NEW UPLOADS in the white box

I don't have 60D but saw in some thread here about rejections of clips from that camera because of non-standard 1920x1088 resolution - check if you have this problem.

Excerpt from http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/E60D/E60DVIDEO.HTM:

The Canon 60D's all-new CMOS sensor records high definition video at a maximum resolution of 1,920 x 1,088 pixels with a 16:9 aspect ratio -- approximating what's sometimes referred to as "Full HD", or 1080i/1080p, although it actually includes 8 extra rows of pixels beyond the standard 1,920 x 1,080.
