Re: QT compatibility for iPhoto export movie



In the movie properties there are 4 video tracks. When I choose "format"
from the right dropdown, three are "Data Format: Photo - JPEG" and one is
"Data Format: Cross Fade"

I can always ditch the cross fade track, but I think it looks great.

The files are under 180KB for 30 seconds (256x192@.25fps)

The vids aren't rendered, the individual images are displayed for four
seconds then faded into the next image.

The vids will eventually end up in QT5 compatible instore CD vending
machines and I have no way of testing on these target machines... :(
