    Final Cut Pro – QuickTime Movie Playback on Slower Systems


    Here are two codecs that play well on a wide variety of machines.

    While H.264 is the star of the the codec world at the moment, it is not always the best choice when you want to create a QuickTime movie.

    If you want to create a movie that will play on older, slower machines, or you want to create a movie that will play without requiring a lot of computer processing power, say for a ProTools session, consider using the Photo-JPEG codec.

    It won’t create really small files, but it does play back without a lot of stress, even on older systems.
