Re: [Avid-L2] effects to get "cellphone" type compression artifacts?

 

Hi Nat,

Phones tend to use some sort of low datarate MPEG format with
inter-frame encoding (Long GOP). I'd suggest you try a QuickTIme movie
with the MPEG4 codec. You'll want a keyframe every second or so and
probably a frame size of 640x480 or something. Just adjust the datarate
to give you the desired amount of mush. Have a look at the codec
settings of some of your existing clips in QuickTime to see what numbers
they use.
