Yes. File>Export to Other Format>Format "MPEG-4". Then click Options. Under Video there is an option to hard set your key frame spacing.

well i'm on 1.9.3b4 and tons of stuff is greyed out/muted... including that "export to other format" option (all of those are muted)...

apparently the same thing was happening to shawn today at serato support. he downloaded mpeg streamclip and was looking over the options with me and also said everything was greyed out.

i don't get it.

oh, well i just tried loading tracks from file and it works. we were trying from List>Batch List today.

ok, that was the problem, loading them from batch list won't show those options for whatever reason.

so what's a good key frame rate to let serato run smoothly if you're jumping around cue points, scratching, and stuff?

thanx.

I personally use 24 for my encodes. It seems to give a good balance of fast response when skipping around in a file and reasonably low CPU use.

Too many keyframes (a lower number for the keyframe distance setting) and CPU use can go up. Too few (or worse, none at all) and you can start getting lags/frozen video when skipping around. Especially in Finder-preview.

I wrote up a step-by-step on MPEG Streamclip a while back->serato.com (click link)

24 is the average, and I think it's the default in MPEG.

Haha..Mark chimed in on that while I was typing.

here is the average info for key frames on files i've been converting with mpeg streamclip, when i drop them in movieinfobatch:

Keyframes: 239 (min: 30, max: 31,avg: 30.1)

does that look good for DJing video?

thanx.

with current cpus that shouldnt be an issue at all.

Looks great to me :)
