Should I slightly compress clips while capturing?
A 5 minute piece takes up about a gb on my hard drive. I am capturing a lot, and it seems to be taking up a lot more space than it should. . . .
Is there any way to compress with virtually no loss in quality? Or, am I capturing wrong? I'm using Adobe Premiere 6.5. |
Your doing nothing wrong. DV already *IS* compressed (at a
5:1 ratio)! 18 minutes will yield 4 GB which is the same as your 5 minutes (rounded). If you want to maintain quality don't compress it futher. Just get a bigger harddisk like we all do (they aren't that expensive anymore). |
I have a 150gb external for my pc. . .and, I'm getting a laptop when I go to college, and I don't want to dish out the money for a new external. :-/
I have enough space, now. I just didn't realize it. For some reason, I thought I would run low with 80gb left. It's one of those "I don't know how to think" things. |
80 gb will hold around 360 minutes of footage, or 6 hours.
Ofcourse you will need space for intermediate files and final rendering etc. But I'd say that is enough room to start with! |
For sure, Rob.
FOR SURE, ROB! Haha, thanks for the help. |
