IWeb and stills - re-sizing?

I've done a quite elaborate website for a film I'm producing.  I'd like to use the work I did on the website in a press-kit I'm preparing.  Can I use the iWeb project to pull stills for the press kit ... and still get the original resolution of the still?
I've resized the stills in iWeb, but only by dragging IN iWeb, not by actually re-sizing the original stills.  Does iWeb do the actual auto re-sizing for the internet when I save the project, or when I upload to the web?  In other words: can I just grab the stills in the iWeb project and dump them in Pages and resize them (larger) in Pages and still expect to get the original resolution?  Or do I have to go back to the originals in Aperture?
All ears,
Ben

Large image files slow a web page download time so they should be reduced in size preferably before dragging into iWeb.
There's not a lot of poimt in dragging in an image that's 1200px x 900px if you are going to reduce its viewable area to 640px x 480px in the application.
This is particularly important now that a growing number of people are viewing sites on portable devices. Ideally you would provide a different size of image for each device type although you can't easily do that with iWeb.
When you create a presskit as a download you would include different sized versions of each image. A reviewer would then choose the appropriate size for whatever media they are using - newspaper, magazine, blog, TV, website etc.
Its even more important with video clip files. You should provide four different sizes in the download and at least three on a website. Here's an example of a reponsive web page which loads three different versions of the movie based on device width...
http://www.ezmacwebdesign.com/Responsive-Template/video-js.html
As you drag the browser right hand edge to the left to reduce its width you will notice that the poster image changes in size. The browser is loading a different image for each device width and, when the image is clicked, the appropriate video file size plays. On a personal computer you can have all three playing at once if you really want to!
In the above demo I am using VideoJS to play the movie so that I only have to provide one video format - MP4 - in three sizes.
If you use HTML5 for playback you need to provide three formats, each in three sizes as well as three splash images! Even then your movie would not be viewable in some older browsers unless you provide flash fallback or a .swf or .flv file!
The only easy way to achieve this with iWeb would be to offer direct links to the various movie files or to arrange for them to appear in different popup windows.
What you can do with iWeb is to create a smart phone version of your site with the appropriate sized media files...

  • Can I move a new iweb website into my iweb and still keep my other sites?

  • Deleted pages in iWeb and on hosting site but still appear in navbar?

    I've deleted a couple of pages in a site built in iWeb and also deleted the files and html of those pages where my site is hosted (Earthlink). However, I'm still seeing the names of those pages in the navbar — NOT in iWeb, but when i actually access the site. The pages themselves are not there anymore, but their names remain in the navbar (and click through to an error msg).
    This makes me think I haven't uploaded all the necessary changes. Where does the code for the navbar reside? I reloaded the home file+html (among other pages) but not the index.

    If you are using the iWeb default navigation, try publishing to a local folder and upload the feed.xml with your FTP application.

  • Simple explanation of what is happening with iWeb and Mobile Me. Can anyone explain this simply and if our existing web site can be hosted elsewhere, if so can it still be updated using iWeb. Any advice very welcome

    We have a website that has run successfully using iWeb and Mobile me. We understand Mobile Me is being discontinued from June. From this forum it seems iWeb also is not being supported any more. So can the existing site be hosted successfully with another provider or is it best to start again. If so any advice on options would be very welcome;
    Thanks
    PB

    For the most part if you just get a new webhost you can continue to run with iWeb. Since you are still running Tiger iWeb should work just fine for you. You will simply need to publish your website to a folder or with the built in FTP in iWeb. Apple has simply quit updating iWeb & there will come a day when iWeb quits working in the later OS's whatever kitty comes after Lion.

  • Can I still create new sites in iweb and publish them to mobile me?

    Can I still create new sites in iweb and publish them to mobile me? Also Can the sites not contain movies or photos, or just not a full gallery?

    You can have as many sites and domain names on a single MMe account. However, only one site can use the CNAME domain name forwarding while the others must use URL forwarding.
    Multiple Sites with Domain Name(s) in a Single MobileMe Account
    Here's how to have multiple sites in a single MMe account with one or more sites having a domain name.
    A. All sites are in the same Domain.sites2 files
    1 - only one site can use the CNAME method of domain name forwarding and it must the top site in the left hand pane of iWeb.
    Click to view full size
    2 - the other sites must use URL domain name forwarding which directs the domain name to the site's full MMe URL, http://web.me.com/MMeUsername/SiteName, or, if there is no domain name, just MobileMe's full URL.
    B. Each site is in its own Domain.sites2 file.
    Again, only one site can use CNAME forwarding. This presents a problem since CNAME forwarding directs the domain name to the basic MMe account URL: http://web.me.com/MMe_Username/ which uses an index.html file in the root folder of the account, iDisk/Web/Sites. Each time a new site is published or an existing site uses the File->Publish Entire Site a new index.html file is created in that root directory, iDisk/Web/Sites folder, directing the browser to that particular site. This file is what the CNAME method uses to find the site it represents.
    Therefore some steps must be taken to assure that the index.html file in the MMe Accounts root directory always points to the correct site. This can be accomplished is three ways.
    1 - don't use the CNAME method. Just use URL forwarding . This, IMO, is the simplest method as it doesn't requre any additional effort on the user once the domain name has been set up.
    2 - use the following method suggested by Wyodor in this topic: Is it possible to have multiple sites when using ur Domain name?
    In iWeb domainfile 1:
    Create a dummy site : _dummy
    with a blank page.
    Create your working site : Whatever
    Add pages
    Publish both Sites to the same same location on the same server.
    Your _dummy site is now the default Site.
    Check.
    In iWeb domainfile 2:
    Create/Use your CurrentSite.
    Move a page to the top of the Site and back. Publish the Site.
    iWeb will create a new index.html file in the root of the server and from now on CurrentSite is the default site.
    Check.
    From now on, never move your Whatever Site to the top of the list in the iWeb sidebar and never change the page in the _dummy site.
    Simply do not touch your _dummy ever again. And never forget that.
    3 - use Ethmoid's suggested method in Using two sites - setting one up with separate domain? or republishing the entire site that uses CNAME forwarding. Just making a minor change and publishing the site changes does not create a new index.html file.
    The entire site must be republsihing in order to get that new site.
    Or keep a copy of the CNAME site's index.html file on your Mac and replace it manually in the iDisk/Web/Sites fodler when necessary.
    NOTE: the CNAME method provides a shorter URL: http://www.DomainName.com/Site_Name/PageName. CNAME does not have masking.
    The URL forwarding displays the full MMe URL:
    http://web.me.com/MMeUsername/Domain_Name/PageName.
    With domain name masking that will be shortened to:
    http://www.Domain_Name.com for every page of your site.
    However, visitors will only be able to bookmark and enter at the first page of the site. If a page is refreshed the visitor is taken back to the first page. Also search engines will only be able to index the first page of the site.

  • My iWeb Account wont update it says Can't create the file "mwmac_white.png." The disk may be damaged or full, or you may not have sufficient access privileges... This has never happend  I deleted other sources on website and still wont work? Suggestions?

    My iWeb Account wont update it says Can’t create the file “mwmac_white.png.” The disk may be damaged or full, or you may not have sufficient access privileges... This has never happend  I deleted other sources on website and still wont work? Suggestions?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    This is the image contained in the file causing the problem...
    I certain the original is contained in the Combo updates and on the OS disks.
    As a temporary fix, click on the image above to open it.
    Use Screen capture (Shift+Command+4) and click on the opposite corners of the image.
    It will be saved as a Screen shot 2011-mm-dd at hh:mm.png
    Right click on the filename in Finder and rename it to mwmac_white.png
    I'm not certain, but the file might need to be moved into the Documents directory in the Subdirectory named for the website name you are editing. That's where it is on my system, but I moved a bunch of files when I restored from Time Machine about 18 months ago.
    I also have many copies of mwmac.png, a separate copy one for each web page where the image appears in my website.

  • IWeb and photo corrections and importing photos

    Yeah, another iWeb problem. I both love and hate the application. I hadn't had this problem before now. I imported many, many photos into albums (via Aperture...) before noticing that the photos in download mode on my website were showing up at half the pixel size that the originals were. The photo download option is checked as 'original' so that's not it. I did a little checking and couldn't figure out why iWeb is importing these photos from Aperture at half size... So, I did an end run around it and dragged and dropped directly from the folder to iWeb. Great, right? Nope... started noticing that the photos that I am dragging in are not holding their corrections (mainly brightness/contrast) that I had applied in Photoshop. They show up fine in the folder, they look fine as I am dragging them, but when I release in the iWeb folder/page they lose their corrections? HUH?!?
    No matter what I do (dragging them from the folder or from the desktop is the same...) they lose the corrections in iWeb... They still hold their corrections if I drag them from the Aperture sidebar in iWeb, but then they are half sized...
    And no, the optimize images on import button is NOT checked, thought for sure that that would be the problem. Any thoughts, ideas on either problem, the size issues or the corrections... What determines the size that iWeb chooses for display? I notice that there are three listings when I upload them in FileZilla...
    And on a side note, the preview images in the main album page show low res images... What controls the resolution for them and could this be somehow related?
    I also tried to export a photo from Aperture which shows the correct resolution of 1280 X 1280 to the Desktop and got a correct 1280 X 1280 image. Dragged it into iWeb and it kept the corrections as well, but when published, the website displays a half size image with a 640 X 640 download size... Sigh...

    Did you reboot?  That often clears out caches and corrects errant behavior in apps. That and deleting the preference file. Either that or offering the right sacrifice to the computer gods.

  • I need help finding a workable web program that is not CSS based.  I tried IWeb and it just won't work for me.  Way too limiting.  I've been using a 12 year old copy of Macromedia Dreamweaver, but the new Dreamweaver is CSS

    Been building web pages for nearly 20 years, starting with GoLive.  Went to Dreamweaver about 12 years ago, the Macromedia version.  Tried going to iWeb when it came with a new Mac, but found it way too limiting with it's CSS template base.   Unknowlingly, I then bought a new copy of Dreamweaver.   Ooops, Adobe had bought Macromedia and Dreamweaver, too, is now CSS based, which for my money makes it useless to anyone who likes simplicity.   Now I find that even iWeb has been discontinued.  I was told yesterday that Apple doesn't have a web program any more.   At 12 years old, I just don't think it's practical to try to load my old Macromedia Dreamweaver into the new Mountain Lion (I'm getting a new Mac), though it is running, barely, in Snow Leopard.
    I need to find a web builder program that will permit simple construction of educational pages, nothing fancy, nothing artistic, just create a page, give it a color, type or drag in text, insert a table, insert pix in the table blocks, add text under the pix... done!    I should note that I am not looking to build traffic.  I teach simple things for free and people who want to learn those things (antique sewing machine repair, quilting, building longbows) find me.
    I've downloaded trial versions of half a dozen or so programs and looked at maybe 20 more, but all are either CSS based and drive me insane with requirments for constantly making rules and template models, and/or require that you base your web presence in their server.   Also, many will not work with pages built in other programs.  I maintian a volume of over 1000 web pages, many requiring regular updating, and they have been with the same server for more than 15 years.  I'm not about to change.
    So, anybody know a simple, old fashioned web builder that's happpy on a Mac platform?

    Although not supported anymore, iWeb does still function using Mountain Lion...
    http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWeb/mountain-lion.html
    ... and you can purchase it from Amazon.
    Start with a blank page using the Black or WHite template.
    All modern websites use CSS and there are thousands of free templates to be had if you want to use a code entry style application. You will need to go this route if you want to create a site that is viewable on mobile devices although you can create an iPhone version using iWeb...

  • I am using a new imac with osx lion 10.7.5 and have bought a copy of Apple iLife 11 on dvd a so that I can install iWeb and idvd, when I click on install iLife I get a message saying "iLife.kpg was signed with an invalid certificate

    I am using a new imac with osx lion 10.7.5 and have just bought Apple iLife 11 on dvd so that I can install iWeb and iDVD, as macs no longer ship with these apps. When I click on install iLife I get a message saying "iLife.kpg was signed with an invalid certificate.
    Next problem is that when moving through the installer and get to custom install, as I only want to install iDVD and iWeb, I am presented with the option to install iDVD, Sounds & Jingles and iWeb, but not sure what is going on with the other 3 options iLife Support etc, they seem to be greyed out but still look like they may install over the top of the newer versions already on my imac. Is it ok for me to just go ahead and hit install? Or do I have a problem?

    Yep, just install iDVD (plus sounds and jingles) and iWeb if you want it (but note that iWeb apparently won't work if you upgrade to Mountain Lion).
    Then use Software Update to get any late iDVD updates.

  • IWeb and Quicktime Movie Upload 2013

    Three or so years ago, I made a website using iWeb (the last version Apple produced; i.e. the current version), and I included some videos. The videos were from a digital (tape) video camera, edited with iMovie HD, and were old-format 640x480. I managed to work out how to set the movies to start quickly (before fully loading) using iMovie and QuickTime. I dropped the movie into a regular iWeb page, resized it, put the settings up with the iWeb inspector, and all was well. The movies played (and still play) on Safari and Firefox, on my Macs and on an Asus Windows machine I have. (They won't play on my iPad - if anyone can tell me why, I'd be grateful; I'll probably put the original DV through a more recent version of iMovie and QT, and upload again.)
    I want to make another similar website. However, my camera is now a HD tape model, and I have made my peace with iMovie '11 and worked out how to use it. My machine is the latest Mac Mini, and so QT is the latest also. I run Mountain Lion.
    I made a movie with iMovie '11, and exported a quality version. I opened it in QT and chose 'Export for Web' and selected the option which gives me three different sizes. After some struggles, I worked out how to put this into my uploaded iWeb (test) site (although I have to say that the instructions Apple's QT gives are not the clearest), and it works, even on my iPad.
    My questions concern the code which QT says you should upload. The code in the <body>, I understand, and it's obviously necessary to play the movie.
    But about the <head> tag QT says:
    Please note, to properly validate as XHTML, the <style> tag and the first <script> tag should be placed within your page's <head> tag.
    Here's the code QT says to paste into the <head>
    <script src="scripts/prototype.js" language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script src="scripts/qtp_poster.js" language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <link href="stylesheets/qtp_poster.css" rel="StyleSheet" type="text/css" />
    However, the movie playback still seems to work without uploading the code for the <head> of the page.  And there is NO <style> tag, and why only the FIRST <script> tag?
    The <head> on the page iWeb produces for my test page already has a lot of code:
    <head>
        <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
        <meta name="Generator" content="iWeb 3.0.4" />
        <meta name="iWeb-Build" content="local-build-20130116" />
        <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" />
        <meta name="viewport" content="width=950" />
        <title>Ed's Video Test</title>
        <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen,print" href="Eds_Video_Test_files/Eds_Video_Test.css" />
        <!--[if lt IE 8]><link rel='stylesheet' type='text/css' media='screen,print' href='Eds_Video_Test_files/Eds_Video_TestIE.css'/><![endif]-->
        <!--[if gte IE 8]><link rel='stylesheet' type='text/css' media='screen,print' href='Media/IE8.css'/><![endif]-->
        <style type="text/css">
    /*<![CDATA[*/
        @import "Scripts/Widgets/HTMLRegion/Paste.css";
    /*]]>*/
    </style>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="Scripts/iWebSite.js"></script>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="Scripts/iWebImage.js"></script>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="Scripts/iWebMediaGrid.js"></script>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="Scripts/Widgets/SharedResources/WidgetCommon.js"></script>

        <script type="text/javascript" src="Eds_Video_Test_files/Eds_Video_Test.js"></script>
      </head>
    Questions:
    1. Should I put the QT code in the <head> tag anyway, even though it seems to work without it?
    2. If I don't put it in, does that mean the choice between the three movies doesn't take place? I don't have a smartphone, but the playback on my 27" screen, my Asus netbook, and on my iPad all look fine without the head code.
    3. If I do put it in, where exactly do I put it, and do I need to replace any of the code that is already there?
    4. The original iWeb drag and drop method still seems to work fine with movies direct from iMovie (and plays even on my iPad), but obviously you can only put one version of the movie on a page. Is there still a good reason for using the multi-size version which involves manually uploading the movie and opening the page after uploading and inserting code for every movie? For example, I have a very fast internet connection. Maybe it's kind to those with a slower connection to put up the smaller movies also?
    And, since I'm here, I have a couple of slightly related questions:
    5. I designed my site (it's non-commercial, just a trip report, but with a lot of pages) to not need any scrolling even on quite a small desktop screen (you click on from page to page like a book, but you can also navigate around sections more easily this way; anyway that's how I like it). But on the iPad, held horizontally, the width is resized to take up the full width of the sceen, so you then need to scroll down. It's really annoying me. Is there some code I could put in to tell the iPad not to do this (there are plenty fewer vertical pixels on my website's pages than on the iPad screen)? (I don't care about phones, because the site is photo-based so looking at it on a phone is pointless in my opinion. And netbooks with only 768 vertical pixels are not particularly important to me either, but the iPad screen is plenty big enough for the site to work the way I want it to.)
    6. And I want to include slideshows of photos without using the iWeb/iPhoto system (which brings up an external window in a different colour). I want the user to be able to see the thumbnails, to start and stop an on-page slideshow, and for me to be able to put captions (descriptions) with the slides. There seem to be a lot of options, and I still haven't finished looking at all the ones I got from the web. But does anyone have a good recommendation - paid or free?
    Thanks for reading this long thread, and for any advice.

  • IWeb and Mobile Me gallery?

    I am using iWeb to create my web site but publishing my photos from iPhoto to the mobile me gallery. In iWeb I am using the Black theme where it puts the main links to the different pages across the top. I would like to add a link there that goes to the gallery.me.com page. how do I do this??
    Thanks for the help.

    iWeb: you don't need to save anything from the iDisk - iWeb does not open html files. Your iWeb sites are held in (user)/Library/Application Support/iWeb in a file called Domain. So even after MobileMe terminates you will still be able to open iWeb and see your sites, you just won't be able to publish them to MobileMe. You can publish them to any other webspace - please see this page:
    http://rfwilmut.net/migrate2
    Gallery: if your albums arre synced with iPhoto or Aperture then the pictures are on your Mac anyway. If not, and you don't have local copies (which is always a risky procedure) you will have to download each picture separately. Alternatively there is an online photo gallery service called ZangZing which provides an easy import facility from various other services including MobileMe's Gallery. It's free until June 2012 after which the first 2GB is free with escalating price levels starting at $5 per month or $50 a year.

  • I tried to implement photo albums using iweb and got a publishing error.

    I tried to implement photo albums using iweb and got a publishing error. All was fine with my site until I added the photo album page. The software doesnt say what the error is exactly, only that it is a publishing error to my ftp
    Exact message "There was an error communicating with the FTP server. Try again later, or check with your service provider."
    If I reduce the albums inside to 1 then it seems to work but that takes away from the usefullness of multiple albums.
    my iWeb version is 3.0.4 (601)

    Publish your site to a folder on your hard drive to see if the publication will proceed successfully and open the site locally with your browser to confirm all of the alums are there and work.  If they do try the following:
    delete the iWeb preference files, com.apple.iWeb.plist and com.apple.iWeb.plist.lockfile, that resides in your Home() /Library/Preferences folder.
    go to your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
    Click to view full size
    launch iWeb and try again.
    If you're still not able to publish from iWeb to your server download and use the free  Cyberduck to upload your website files to the server. Users have found that CD has been successful when iWeb had problems.

    Years ago I tried iPhoto, but I didn't like how it duplicated all my photo files and I wasn't very fond of the file structure it created. Years later (last month) I got Aperture. Aperture (still has a long way to go) also duplicates all your files and places them in their own file structure. If I can get along with Aperture (and if it will get along with my other programs), I won't mind putting all my files into the file structure it creates. But for now, I still have my original files in the original file structure I have had for many years as a back up.
    On to my issue with iWeb and Aperture....
    To add photos to iWeb, you can either go into the iWeb media center or you can drag and drop photos from other locations.
    1st: iWeb media center
    To get my photos into the media center, I would have to load them into iPhoto (iP 6 does allow you to keep your original file structure, but it still creates .jpg files, which fills up your hard-drive. More duplicates I don't need or want). So that is out for me. iP6 will let you view and use your Raw files.
    Another way is to drag and drop your file structure directly into the media center window. I don't think this duplicates any files (at least I haven't been able to find any), but it takes an awfully long time to thumbnail all your photos (several hours and still waiting for 22K + files). Also, it won't show any Raw files. Again, out for me.
    Aperture won't let you drag and drop its library into the media center at all. So if I was to move all my files into the Aperture Library, I wouldn't be able to access them for iWeb at all.....Out for me.
    2nd: Drag and Drop
    I was able to drag and drop Raw files directly into iWeb from C1 Pro, Adobe Bridge and Adobe Lightroom.
    As I said before, I am trying to move over to Aperture. However, Aperture won't let me drag and drop photos. What is the deal here??? These are both Apple programs and they won't play nice with each other. Very annoying.
    Anyway, I put a link below to my iWeb test webpage I made. All the photos were Raw files that I did a drag and drop from C1 Pro, Adobe Bridge and Lightroom. There were no problems with the publishing.

    So, does anyone know if they can get photos from Aperture to work?? Thanks for any responses.

    Jedi,
    Perhaps you are right.
    I am not a web developer and I will never be. I don't feel like spending countless hours learning how to use Dreamweaver or some other Pro web app. iWeb looked like a way to start making websites of my photos for my friends and family (much easier and better than Home Page on .Mac). All I was asking was for a way to drag and drop my photos (especially Raw files) with Aperture. Which I can do with Lightroom, Adobe Bridge and C1 Pro, and without using iPhoto.
    I am not a Pro photographer either, but I purchased Aperture based on what was advertised on the Apple website. From that ad, Aperture fit my photo needs almost to a tee. I am looking to adjust Raw files, Crop, Archive and keep my use of Hard Disk space down to a minimum. I can use Photoshop for the other 5% of things I do. However, Aperture has some issues (if you own it, then you already know. If you don't, you can read the Aperture Forum) This is one of the reasons I never went to iPhoto for archiving. I didn't like the way it duplicated all my files, taking up more disk space and its file structure. So even though Aperture won't play nice with other programs, I was surprised that it wouldn't play nice with any Apple programs.
    After reading your post and based on what you are saying, everyone either needs to have/learn/use Pro apps only or have/learn/use iApps only. Don't Cross the Streams!!
    I guess that means Apple will need to fix DVD Studio Pro. It uses photos that are in your iPhoto library and music from iTunes (iApps in a Pro app??....for shame...."it was never intended"). Also, DVD SP won't read the Aperture library. Does that mean there are 3 platforms? Pro, iApp and Mediocre??
    Now I have 2 questions:
    1. Can someone please tell me which apps are Pro and iApp, or if there is Mediocre? I don't want to mix them up and "Cross the Streams".
    2. Again....is there anyway to use Aperture with iWeb?
    TIA,
    Narvon
