Q: apple photos app for mac - issues exporting

When I want to share photos and movies I want to use good quality files, not the pathetic grainy stuff photos exports.

Please don't suggest using photo share via the apple cloud because most of my friends are on pc's and the apple share experience for pc users irritates them.

 

How can I get a decent movie file out to dropbox for example? At the moment I see my lovely crisp 800mb movie is reduced to a crappy 9 mb file !

OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

    You could try running Apple's Compressor 4. (~$50). It is available in the App Store for download.

     

    It does a very good job compressing video material to a variety of formats.

    Thanks , I really appreciate the reply.

     

    In a way, I'm not looking to "compress", almost the opposite. I'd like to be able to export a video file from the (new) apple Photo app that is equivalent the the original file , not a compressed inferior offering !

     

    I must admit . In the past I used iPhotos and Aperture. Now its a mess. The new Photo app won't do what the combination of both apps once did and  and using Aperture is impractical now its unsupported nd no longer shares the database in the way iPhoto did . Apple exasperate me sometimes !

    I may have posted this in the wrong section ( after being unable to find a folder for the new Photos app) . may I ask an administrator to kindly move it if thats the case? Thank you .
