they share the same audio and video encoding, bitrate and pixel size.

Movie is saved as it is in the editor window.Įditing is possible as long as files are homogenous, i.e. Any file that SimpleMovieX is able to open, can be edited and saved in. avi clip, you can either save it natively in avi format, which will take a dozen of seconds, or transcode it with DivX avi exporter, which will take 5 minutes and erode the image quality.
Transcoding is not as good as Native editing, because it is about 10 times slower to perform and some quality is lost. For example, a DV clip can be converted to MPEG-4 through the Export menu. SimpleMovieX also leverages the exporter components compatible with QuickTime to make transcoding of format possible.
However, saving is restricted to the following ones: SimpleMovieX can also read and edit more formats, actually all the formats supported by QuickTime and codecs installed in the system. We call Native the formats that SimpleMovieX can read, edit and save. The main advantage is speed and low file size, the main drawback is fragility as if you move or delete any of the referenced media data, the RefMovie can be lost. You can think of it as a kind of playlist where you can specify which chunks of movies are played in sequence. It means that SimpleMovieX doesn't copy the media data, just the recipe to describe the movie. is like regular QuickTime format saving, but without "flattening". It involves re-encoding the media to the same or to a different codec and format, thus is very slow and involves some quality loss. gives you the choice of location and of format.įile>Export or Convert is a different way to save a movie. Therefore, for AVI, MPEG, the following actions will be discarded when saving:Īnd finally mixing media from incompatible sources will probably force you to save in QuickTime format.įile>Save tries to keep same file location and format.įile>Save As. While QuickTime can do almost anything, MPEG and AVI cannot handle chapter, resizing or mixing media from several sources. The second limitation is related to container format capabilities. For example, set-top boxes can usually read DivX AVI and MPEGs, but not QuickTime format. QuickTime format is great as long as the "final customer" can read it. Re-encoding means loss of quality and a very lengthy process. In this case, the only possible saving options are QuickTime format, that always works, or re-encoding if the codec allows to do it. First of all, some codecs are one-way, they just open and decode but cannot encode or save. Saving has a few limitations coming from the underlying multimedia technology. OK, we're not perfect, but SimpleMovieX is still probably one of the best product to this regard: It supports native editing of QuickTime, AVI, MPEG-1, MPEG-2 and MPEG-4. What ? Wasn't this supposed to be a nice movie editor for the rest of us ? The important thing to remember is: You can't always save your work in the original format. Once you're done with editing, it's time to save your work. Here's the info from Simple MovieX's help file:
