Export for HTTP Live Streaming
You can export a QuickTime reference movie for web hosting that’s linked to a group of
QuickTime movies compressed using different settings. You can choose how many and which
compression settings you want to export. When hosted using the related server software, the
reference movie can choose the QuickTime movie with optimal compression for streaming using
available bandwidth.
Export your project for HTTP Live Streaming
1 Choose Share > Export for HTTP Live Streaming.
2 Select which versions of the movie to export.
3 Choose the Segment Length from the pop-up menu.
This value defines how video streams are split into chunks. This segmentation defines when
the web server can switch between the video formats while streaming to a device with varying
network connection speeds. There are two Segment Length options:
•
10 seconds: Choose this menu item to allow the server to respond more quickly to changing
connection speeds, at the expense of slightly larger files.
•
30 seconds: Choose this menu item for smaller, more efficient files when you do not expect the
server to need to respond to changing connection speeds.
4 If you’ve set In and Out points in the Timeline, use the Duration pop-up menu to choose whether
to export the sequence or the portion between the In and Out points.
5 To specify additional Motion-specific options, click Render.
