Custom Quicktime pro export settings for iPhone

I want to custom export from Quicktime Pro, using h.264 in an mpeg4 container with a low data rate (about 400kb) and smaller size (400x220)
It imports into iTunes fine, but won't sync to my iPhone (error message: 'xxx' was not copied to the iPhone 'xxx' because it cannot be played on this iPhone.)
I've tried the Quicktime Pro preset called 'movie to iPhone', and it works fine: the movie copies to my iPhone. The filesize though, is far bigger than I know I can get it down to with custom settings.
I just can't get it to load onto my iPhone.
What am I missing?

You've got Tiger and Automator! Learn how to use them help you make some "presets".
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/automator/
You could also "hack" the .plist files found in the QuickTime Player.app and edit away.
Control-click on the QuickTime Player and choose "Show Package Contents". Inside the resources folder are a number of .plist files for presets. If you have the Developer Tools installed a double click on a .plist should open the Property List Editor. Change the settings to your liking, but beware.
I use Automator as either a "workflow" on a stand alone "application". Workflows can be triggered by a control click on a file where the "apps" act like AppleScript "Droplets". Drag a file to the droplet and let the application do its thing.
QuickTime Pro stores the "Most Recently Used" settings for many exports. These would be easy to re-construct or edit to allow you to create dozens of different "presets". Save each as an application (naming them may be troublesome) using Automator.

Saving Quicktime Pro Export Settings

I regularly convert video from one size/bitrate to another using the export function of QTpro.
Is there any way I can save this setting permanently in the export settings menu and call the setting something?
Does this need apple scripting?
Has anyone done it? I'm sure they must have.
Paul

***** that this feature has been removed since it's perfectly obvious and useful to have. As a workaround, if you are a Final Cut Pro user and have Compressor installed, you could set up a preset with custom settings and batch process to a folder of your choice from there.
Also, I'd stumbled on a action script someone had put together for saving most recent settings presets in quicktime pro but don't have a link to provide you. It's definitely out there but might be more complicated to throw together if you don't know or have the time to learn scripting.

Ideal iMovie export settings for iPhone?

What is the proper setting for iMovie exports to the iPhone?
Obviously 480x320 is the desired target resolution, but I tried using "Quicktime" and encoding in h.264, but the video is not viewable on the iPhone. Alternatively, in selecting MPEG4, oddly h.264 was greyed out as not an option.
Anyone? I know the "iPod" settings work, but that is not the ideal iPhone screen resolution.
blakespot

I had the same problem getting iMovies over to my AppleTV and found a solution that works for iPhone too.
In iMovie click: Share>Share...>Quicktime (at top of box)>Expert Settings (under Compress Movie For)>Share (button at bottom of box)>Movie to iPhone (on Export: pick list). Click Save at the bottom of the dialog and you're off!
I used this to convert several of the movies I had on my AppleTV and put them on my iPhone.

CS4 Premiere Pro EXPORT settings for embedding videos in PDF

I am trying to embed a few short videos into a PDF ebook and my PDF file size is massive. I want the videos to still look good quality as I put a lot of effort into making high quality videos for my ebook.
Does anybody have any advice for export settings in Premiere Pro for the use in PDF documents? I've played around with the various preloaded export settings but I'm wondering if I can customize the settings to look good in a PDF.
(I realize Acrobat will convert the video into flash for consistent play-black)
(And not sure if this matters but my current videos are 60fps 1280 x 720 HD shot with a Canon 7D)
All advice would be greatly appreciated!!

Unfortunately, you have posted to the Pr (the precursor to PrPro) forum, so you'll likely not get as much traffic for your thread, as you would in the PrPro forum. Maybe our tireless MOD's can move it out for you, so you'll get more "eyes." Here is the Adobe Premiere Pro Forum.
Good luck,

What export settings for iPhone to TV

If TV of any size is the final destination of the movie, but it will be
played from the iPhone, which settings do I use?

Replying to my own post. Here's what I found:
I could export the movie in a size up to iPhone (one step above Tiny on the
Settings Pane). No problem at the iPhone level. This I did with the Project Properties
set at 4 x 3. It played pretty well on the plasma with the TV setting up to Wide or Full,
not to Zoom or Super Zoom. By this point, there's no guessing, setting is done on the fly.
Viewing from 15 or so feet away was acceptable, although the resolution is far from HD.
Still, for a family album, with a soundtrack it went over very well.
Good luck with your project.

Quicktime Streaming Server settings for iPhone ? Can it be done?

Can one stream live video to the iPhone?
I'm trying all the settings and it keeps saying movie will not play.

The iPhone doesn't support streamed media per se. It can load full media files, but EDGE and quick time limits your capabilities

What are the best export settings for a HD video in Premier Pro CS4?

Hi!
   I've been having so much trouble with this issue and it's something that continually frustrates my boss. I have a HD video the settings for it are
FPS 23.98
1920 x 1080, then a few lines down it says 1408 x 792
16 bit,
2 channels
48000 Hz
   What should the settings be when I make a new sequence?
             When I look at it in the window in Premiere Pro I have to contantly 'shrink' the image to fit the window, is that something I should be doing or does it indicate the sequence settings are incorrect?
But more importantly what should the export settings be? I exported a 4 minute long video and the size was 1 GB, I know that's too big.
I need to export it without loosing any quality and export another one that meets the Youtube and Vimeo limits on size.
Vimeo is 500 MB per week, sometimes I upload 4 videos per week. I think Youtube you can only upload 500 MB at a time.
I need to get smaller sizes with loosing the least amount of quality possible AND the best export settings for quality, so I guess I have 3 separate questions-
What are the best sequence settings for HD video?
What are the best export settings for HD without loosing any quality?
What are the best export settings for the size to come out around 500 MB with loosing the least amount of quality possible?
Thank You!

On the above thread I used the 5th anwer, and it's going to take about 7 hours to export a 4 minute video :/

It Stands for "Coder Decoder."
Your format is like a container for your video file. Certain containers can hold certain codecs and not others. Other containers can hold other codecs. Sometimes different containers can hold the same codecs.
This might be a bad analogy but I'll give it a try.
A coffe cup (container) can hold pretty much any liquid you drink, where a red solo cup (container) won't hold scolding water. So, the coffe cup would be your container of choice most likely because it has the most options for liquids (codecs). But, you might want a red solo cup for just a single crappy beer at a party (a moderate quality streaming video on the web). In that case, you don't need all the optoins of another container.
In Premiere Pro CC H.264 is a Container and the Codec in one option. This has been streamlined for web distrobution of video to be played in browsers without things like Flash or special players.
Were as if you choose the QuickTime Container there are over 40 codec optoins (at least on my machine with additinal ones installed) but you may run into an issue where your browser doesn't support QuickTime playback.
I would say that your container is for compatability with players and your codec is taken into consideration when looking at the quality of the compression.
Yesteraday I wrote a blog entery on Exporting from Premiere Pro and found that the MPEG-4 codec inside of the QuickTime container gave me much richer colors than the H.264 container/codec option.
I posted the link before but here it is:

Best Export Settings For Fast/Low-Res QuickTime Movies

I couldn't find a discussion room for FCP 7 so I figured if anybody is proficiant with FCP X, they could help me.
Hello,
I really could use some help with my export settings using FinalCut Pro 7. Most of my shows are no more than 20 minutes and I pretty much know the best QuickTime export settings for uploading to Vimeo, Exposure Room,YouTube...etc. But now I am trying export a lengthy project at 53 minutes.
The footage is mixed and some of it was not converted to ProRes but it plays great and renders fine in the timeline. The sequence settings were picked automatically at 1920x1080 because of the main footage that was brought in.
This upload is for client viewing purposes ONLY so I really don't care about the quality as much as the export speed. As far as what I’ve tried - I am using the H.264 codec. I tried lowering it to NTSC 720x480, then tried 1280x720 HD. I set the compressor lower than medium and the Kbps (?) settings to AUTOMATIC when I typically set it manually, between 3000 and 5000. My audio is set at AAC.
It’s a crappy project because of the way it was frankenstein’d together in the field (I’m just cutting it), but I'm committed now and have a huge deadline. I'm getting a bit nervous because of how many hours it’s taking to export. The client is going to make inevitablec hanges and will want to see those changes quickly again - online.
NOTE: My Compressor does not work and I’ve never needed to use so far so that option is not available.
I could really use could some wisdom today!
Thanks so much to whomever can steer me in the right path.

I have lost the export settings for FCP7. How can I get these back?

I accidentally threw a folder in the trash. I got a lot of stuff back using Data Rescue, but not everything.
I have lost the export settings for FCP7. How and Can I get these back? tia

Sorry for the delay in response. It sounds like you have somehow deleted your quicktime ProKit with the codecs by what ever process you were trying to restore you trashed files.
Go to the Apple Menu > System Updates and see if the updater sees a need to install them.
If this doesn't work - it might be
the best thing to do would be to get FCS Remover from Digital Rebellion (free)
http://www.digitalrebellion.com/fcsremover/
and try to remove all traces of your corrupt installation and then do a clean install from your original disks, followed by updates to restore the new ProKit codecs.
If your system has been corrupted by whatever you did, it might be best to wipe the drive and start from scratch - but understood this is not a pleasant choice.
Other posters may have different or better suggestions. The FCS Pro Apps require a lot of files and file structure that may or may not be apparent, and were never drag and drop installable. They always needed to be installed with the proper installer.

QuickTime - Save Export Settings - script help needed

Currently I am using Panther 10.3.9 - with QT PRO 7.02 - ( I do not want to
upgrade to Tiger at this time unfortunately)...
* MY GOAL: to be able to save export preferences in QuickTime pro.
Since QuickTime does not seem to be able to save export presets... I
downloaded the the script collection from
From: Scriptable Applications: Quicktime Player
Location: http://www.apple.com/applescript/quicktime/
and created export settings and tried ....
Save Export Settings.scpt
... but the file that got saved will not open in QT PRO - OSX and wants to
open something from old os9....
what do I do?

= = = (see scripts below)
* here is my basic workflow ...
- load a QuickTime movie
- adjust the QuickTime movie export settings
- save a test copy ( validating the settings)
- run the "save export settings.scpt" with name "set1test"
Then
- open and run the "Export QuickTime movie.scpt" with the name " test movie"
- run the new test movie - and when I check info - it does NOT reflect the desired settings...
= = =
One issue is - this line...
export movie 1 to new_file as QuickTime movie using settings "set1test"
... It doesn't seem to care what the settings file name is - and if I change that name to a nonexistent name - it still exports the movie without an error.... Therefore it leads me to believe that it's not using it to begin with....
- another issue is that the settings file "set1test" says it is the kind = "QuickTime settings document" - however it has a blank icon in the Finder - and there does not seem to be any way to open the file with QuickTime 7.02 - and it can to open something classic mode when I double click on it.

Export settings for high quality, high resolution screen cast

I am trying to use iMovie for editing some software demo screen casts, and while my movie looks dandy in iMovie shown full screen, my final export looks like there is a lot of compression and antialiasing going on.
I am starting with a 1920X1080 screen capture via iShowU HD Pro, using Animation as the compression type. For final output I am using the Export using QuickTime option, and I have tried MPEG-4 at Best Quality, H.264 with Best Quality Compression and Multi-pass Encoding, and both look pretty bad. Anyone have any recommendations on the best export settings for a screen cast? Especially one that I would ultimately like to make available cross platform as well as via iTunes?
Thanks,
Gordon

I understand iMovie 6 won't compress the import. Everyone complained when apple changed away from iMovie 6 and but a link to download ILife6 (no cost) but they have since removed the link. I am looking for ILife 6 myself to get an uncompressed import if you find it please post so I can get it too, thx dan

Best PE7.0 export settings for Youtube HD, Vimeo or Smugmug?

Hi all,
I'm really new to video editing and I can't find any recommendations on the best Premiere Elements 7 export settings for Youtube HD, Vimeo or Smugmug. It seems like most of them want you to upload in 1280x720.
My original source is 1920x1080 30p AVCHD from a Canon HF100. Obviously, I would like to keep it at the same frame rate. There doesn't appear to be a preset in PE7 (or a way at all) to output 1280x720 30 into an MPEG container with H.264 encoding. When I go into the advanced properties of a preset like "H.264 1920x1080i 30" or "MPEG2 1920x1080i 30" and choose 1280x720, I no longer have an option for 29.97 fps - the only options are 23.976 or 24 fps. It seems bad to change this, right?
I see the preset for "HD 720p 30" which appears to be MPEG encoding of the video stream instead of H.264. This seemed to work OK, but I wasn't sure about it, because when I choose it I see in the description a line that says TV Standard: NTSC. A number of web sites indicate that H.264 is preferred, but I don't really understand why.
I also found a way to do H.264 in a Quicktime container. This seemed a little suboptimal because you can't do variable bitrate. When I unselected the "select bitrate" checkbox, it seemed like a quality of 50 yielded a .mov file with a bit rate of 2.87Mb/s, and a quality of 100 yielded a .mov file with a bit rate of 26Mb/s. It is confusing to me how the quality setting affects the bitrate on the quicktime containers.
I'm leaning towards using the "HD 720p 30" preset and working with the bit rate choices, but am open to comments. What do others think?
And on a related question - assuming we choose the "HD 720p 30" preset as a starting point, given the 1GB file restriction at Youtube, it seems to make sense to choose a bitrate that allows both good quality and reasonable file size. I don't know much about whether VBR 1 pass, 2 pass or CBR would be best for this kind of online HD video. Google is a little unhelpful here: http://www.google.com/support/youtube/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=132461
This page (http://webvideotechniques.com/123/bigger-and-better-encoding-for-youtube-hd) seems to indicate aiming for a bitrate of 8Mbps with a minimum of 4Mbps, including 2 pass VBR.
So, basically, I'm confused and a little overwhelmed. I think I have solutions that work, but it's hard to tell. What does the greater community think? Thanks.

Thanks very much E Mann, that was a very helpful thread. I think it actually would apply for youtube as well. For other users, here's a direct link to the settings for Premiere Elements:
http://eugenia.gnomefiles.org/2007/12/08/exporting-with-adobe-premiere-in-720p/
Roughly, the answer is:
Quicktime container
Video codec: H.264
Quality: 80 (I used 100 and it just takes longer to encode)
Frame Rate: 29.97 (I guess if you are shooting in 24p, this might be different)
Bitrate: 5000 (I might try 8000)
Audio codec: AAC
Output channels: Stereo
Frequency: 48kHz
Now, my own personal changes to this recipe are:
Quality: 100 - takes longer to encode, no file size difference
Bitrate: 8000
Frequency: 44kHz (recommended by youtube)
One final note is that for Vimeo it appears you may have to try encoding in 29.97 or 23.97 and test to see which you like better. Apparently Vimeo caps fps at 24.
The nice thing about this is that you can get a quality video directly out of Premiere Elements and you don't have to pipe it through another program.

Best export settings for HD video playback on computer?

I have shot my video on 1080p witha DSLR and edited it in premiere pro. I exported the video in .mp4 format.
Now i imported the video in after effects and added loads of animation. I want to export it to the best quality for playback ON COMPUTER ONLY. Which is the best export settings for this purpose.
I rendered it in .avi and my 12 minute video had a size of 55GB after render and did not play smoothly in the computer.. PLEASE HELP WITH THE BEST SETTINGS for the above purpose.

You messed up. You should NOT have rendered MP4 out of Premiere to use in AE. You're adding compression and quality loss in between stages. BAD video person!
The easiest thing to do would be to import your Premiere project in AE. That way it can use the original footage too. If, for some reason, you can't do that, you should render a lossless file out of Premiere. Speaking of lossless files, that's what you rendered out of AE. This page explains your large AE file issue.
Anyway, take that large file you render out of AE into the Adobe Media Encoder and render out your final compressed file. Either H.264 or WMV should work well for playback.

FCE-HD export settings for slideshow

Hey dear specialists,
I need to have a help for the export settings for a slideshow
I am using FCE-HD 4.01 on either MacBookPro with Mountain Lion or on my old G5 with 10.6
Input are slides in JPEG with 15MByte Pixel.
As soon as I am using transition of a picture the result in export in all setting I can choose from FCE, which I found out is very bad, because picture has the interlacing effects at the borders
What can I change to get a good result
Thanks in advance for the feedbacks
Best regards
FJ
N.b.: screenshot abstract >>>> see right hand video lines

Hey Russ,
the video rate of the object does not change when I manipulate on the easy setting
If I import pictures, I do this directly from pircture folder into the BIN, and that should be independently from video input setting
The frame rate should also not be a problem for me here in Germany, because working directly from MAC to flatscreen
I put you a screenshot of the new sequence
The Mov output looks not that bad, even if one looks into detail see picture attached, the steps between one and next frame creates problems
I try also to send you the latest version of a slide transiltion example in iPhone quality ( this can not be attached ) it is a 2MB file. If you like I send you by email.
looks a bit improved vs the morning, but I do not feel confident.
What do you think?
Best regards and will come back tomorrow
