Use QuickTime Pro to compress iMovie projects
I must be thick because I don't understand these instructions at all. In my version of iMovie (3.0.3), there is no Custom selection for exporting the iMove file and neither is there a DV Stream codec. There is an output to iDVD export option but that requires iDVD 3.0. The only three export options are To Camera, To QuickTime and to iDVD so where is the Custom selection and the DV Stream codec?

I haven't tried the QTPro half of the equation (don't have Pro, don't want to spend $30 right now), but I'm pretty sure I can answer your question:

There's actually no need to do the first export from iMovie. When you save the iMovie project, a QuickTime movie with the same title is saved alongside the iMovie project file and the Media folder. Open this QuickTime movie file in QuickTime Player Pro and it will export into the format of your choosing. It's also possible to send this QuickTime movie file to ffMpegX or another transcoding utility.

The quicktime movie file saved in the folder with the movie pieces just contains links to the movie pieces needed. So it'll work for this hint, but you can't just e-mail that .mov file to someone and have it work. Also it won't work for a backup like exporting a full quality DV Stream will (actually I export DV Streams of clips to create libraries of clips that I can re-combine into new movies)

True, but you can do your export, or save as a self-contained movie to eliminate the links. You can also do all the cut, copy, etc. features allowed in pro on this .mov file.
Render DV from iMovie first - otherwise, sound problems
--[There's actually no need to do the first export from iMovie. When you save the iMovie project, a QuickTime movie with the same title is saved alongside the iMovie project file and the Media folder]--
My experience has shown me that the .MOV created by iMovie does not retain volume adjustments -- it plays cuts and tracks at full volume, and doesn't play all iMovie tracks. If you want a .mov file that "honors" all your editing and multiple audio tracks, you have to render a Full DV file first. |
