Hi

i just shoot a solo of me ..

when i import the video in iMovie my body looks all stretch out do you know why and on my video camera screen my body looks fine why when i import i look like i'am 9 feet tall LOL please help

[basschick]

are you shooting normally or in widescreen? sounds like you may be shooting in widescreen - if so, try saving the video in widescreen format.

or i had a problem once where this one program imported my videos so that they were simply the wrong shape. did you check your settings?

i would like to know what is a good size to make my video for my website

[basschick]

big makes members happier. i wouldn't make them smaller than 480x320 for dialup users. if you're doing one widescreen so it is in letterbox format, go a size bigger.

the sites that impress me lately have 720 or 640 videos streaming at 1mb.

[pierrefitch]

does 720x480 sound good

[pierrefitch]

how many meg is the file usally 15 minutes clip at 720x420

[basschick]

720 is only good if you are willing to make the videos pretty good quality. expect 15 minutes to run ya 60mb or more. if you're not willing to go that big, why not try a little smaller - maybe 640? and see what you think of the videos at 768 or thereabouts.

you know who really does a great job for videos? mark from intensecash delivers the goods! he has some of the best video options in gay porn, running multiple formats and generous sizes and bitrates in his new sites.

[basschick]

Hello, first of all gotta tell you are hot (sorry, but had to do that). Second, you will find that software for Macs is very limited. Unless you want to spend $1000s on professional level stuff that is...

Mac has about 4.5% of the market so companies have very little motivation to create and maintain software for that operating system. I had thought about switching but found that limitation to much to get over...

I would switch to a Windows based PC and then you will have tons of software to chose from...
