Use QuickTime Pro to compress iMovie projects
Authored by: kevinv on Dec 27, '03 09:23:35PM

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.

It's a very nice way to make a long movie then export portions of that movie. Select the portion you want to export, choose trim, then make your export. Just make sure you don't save the original movie!
