116 Chapter 7: Formats If you need to ungroup a source movie from an alternate group, choose Batch > Ungroup QuickTime Alternates or press a U. You can remove a project entirely from the batch even if it is grouped. To remove a project from the Batch window, select it and press the Delete key or choose Batch > Remove Selected Projects. Making Alternates from Encoded Movies Sometimes you may want to create alternates out of movies that have already been encoded. You can change encoded movies into alternates without re-encoding them. To make a series of previously encoded movies into alternates: 1. Add all the encoded versions to the Batch window. 2. Create a setting that has the Flatten Only option checked in the Tracks tab. 3. In the Alternate tab, set the criteria for playback. Repeat this process for each encoded movie. 4. Group the movies by choosing Batch > Group QuickTime Alternates. When you process the batch, the movies are flattened so that they are playable on Windows computers, but are not re-encoded. Cleaner renames the flattened movies and places them in a folder along with the master movie. Organizing Alternates To help keep things organized when making alternate movies, Cleaner creates a folder with the master movie name, minus any suffixes or characters that do not work on a Web server. A ReadMe file, HTML and up to two sub-folders that contain your movies are placed in this folder. The Upload to HTTP Server folder contains the master movie and any progressive-streaming alternates. If you are making realtime streaming alternates, a folder labeled Upload to Streaming Server contains the alternates. You can have alternate movie file names up to 31 characters long. To help make it clear which alternate movie is which, an underscore is added to the end of the name, plus data rate criteria, and then the standard .mov suffix. _MSTR is added to the end of the master movie to make it clear which file should be embedded in your Web page. If you are making realtime streaming alternates, _S is added to the ends of their names.
