Using Quictime Pro 4 smaller vid file

by Leah

Has anyone used Quicktime Pro to make a large .mov file smaller for easier uploading? I have a 550 meg, 10 minute video that I'd like to get down in size as much as possible for uploading to Facebook and/or YouTube.

I'm considering purchasing the Pro version but has read mixed reviews on ease-of-use so thought I'd see if anyone here has tried it.

Thanks for any help.

    I think YouTube won't give you trouble with the filesize -
    it allows (I think) up to 1 GB at 10 minutes run-time.
    Dunno about Facebook.

    I seldom work with .mov files and never upload in that
    format - but if you are going to YouTube it's pretty
    flexible in terms of formats, though I think .MP4 is
    the preferred one.

    You tube uses their own encoding on your file when your upload it. So it doesn't matter what format you upload in. thats why some video looks so awful. you upload the file they re encode it for their format. So I'd use what convienient for you file size wise with the best quality you can. file size and quality generally are correlational. QT4 Pro is good though.
