Now every freaking Tom, Dick and Harry is going to come in here and pick apart every setting I've typed up here and offer their 2 cents worth as to why not to do that and why to do this. You've seen my videos and what they look like. These are my settings when exporting a Quicktime video after editing footage from the same camera as you. You shouldn't be editing the MP4 files that come off the camera. You need to uncompress them first. Here are the instructions for how to uncompress the Hi-Def video from an Xacti camera. Feel free to ask me any questions you might have.
