Advanced QuickTime Video Settings for Capture Presets

The QuickTime Video Settings in the Capture Preset Editor and Sequence Preset Editor
are a subset of all the possible QuickTime Video settings. In most cases, these settings
should be sufficient. However, some video interfaces and codecs have specific video
settings not shown in one of the Preset Editor windows. Clicking on the Advanced
button gives you complete access to all QuickTime video options for Source (input) and
Compression settings.

Note: Some of these settings, such as codec and quality, are identical to the settings
found in the Capture and Sequence Preset Editor windows. For example, if you choose
DV/DVCPRO - NTSC from the Compressor pop-up menu, the same codec is chosen
when you click the Advanced tab.

Compression Tab

The settings available in the Compression tab depend on the codec chosen from the
Compressor pop-up menu.

Motion Settings
 Compression type: This pop-up menu has the same codec choices as the Compressor

pop-up menu in the QuickTime Video Settings section of the Preset Editor window.

 Frames per second: Choose a value to specify the number of frames captured per

second. This value is the same as the FPS field in the QuickTime Video Settings
section of the Preset Editor window.

 Key frame every N frames: Even though QuickTime supports temporal compression

using keyframes and in-between frames, you should not select this option
when capturing.

Click Compression.

Specify the

desired settings.
