Finalising the Video

To finalise the overall video I simply made sure that the audio sounded right and that everything transitioned well with each other and worked properly, when I had made sure that this was the case I then went onto export it as a media file.
For this there are several different options and codec’s to choose from, for the assignment there were a couple that I needed to use

• For the actual 10 Second Film Festival I needed to use an MPEG-4 codec with a 25fps rate which is the standard for most videos, this was so that it could be used for the website, so therefore bearing this in mind I saved it as H.264 as this was the most relevant one.
• For the assignment I needed to save it as uncompressed PAL and a compressed file, so for these two options I chose .avi and .mp4 as these two were the most relevant to the options that I needed

Below is a list of the options that I was given:



Although .avi was the best option to choose for the PAL version it was rather a large file-size at 445,337kb whereas the .mp4 version was only 5,100kb so there is a lot of difference in the uncompressed and the compressed footage.
