380 Corel Painter User Guide
With some compression methods, you can also limit the speed of data transmission
with the Limit Data Rate option. The data rate limit overrides the Quality setting, if
necessary, to keep the compressed movie within the set limit.
To export a Corel Painter movie as a QuickTime movie
1 Choose File menu > Save As.
2 In the Save Movie dialog box, enable the Save Movie as QuickTime option.
3 In the Enter Movie Name dialog box, choose a location, enter a name for the file,
and click Save.
4 In the Compression Settings dialog box, choose a compression method from the
pop-up menu.
5 Specify the options you want.
Exporting a Movie as an AVI Movie (Windows)
If you are using a Windows operating system, you can export your movie as an AVI
movie.
The AVI format supports several compression schemes. The following descriptions
should help you choose one; however, you’ll probably want to experiment with
different compressors and settings to identify the best settings for your work. You may
also have additional compression methods available.
• The Cinepak method produces acceptable motion and image quality at remarkably
small file sizes. It is the preferred format for CD-ROM delivery and transfer across
the Internet. Cinepak takes a long time to compress, and it can be difficult to find
the best compression settings for certain image types and frame rates.
• The Microsoft® Video 1 method is designed for recording and playing back
digitized video at high rates.
• The Full Frames (Uncompressed) method uses no compression, so the images retain
all of their quality. With a large frame size, some computers might not be fast
enough to play at a high frame rate. This is the preferred format for transferring
Corel Painter movies to AVI-editing applications.
The compression ratio is inversely proportional to image quality. In the
Video Compression dialog box, the Compression Quality slider allows you to set an
optimum level between the amount of compression and image quality.
