Are my videos the right size?

I´m editing various projects in Final Cut Pro X and a 3 minute video is around 500MB, longer of 15 min over 1GB.
I know it depends on what´s added into the project, graphics, photos, texts etc, but in general, is this a normal size of a final project and should it be handed to a client at this size? It takes many hours to upload to Youtube etc, but I don´t know how I could reduce the file size without losing quality?
My video footage is shot on a DSLR Nikon D800, imported as Optimized Media en exported as 1920x1080 at H.264 Better Quality.
Thanks.

I think your sizes are about right. By way of comparison, Apple TV's 1080P bitrate is 10 Mb per second. A 15 minute video would weigh in at a little over 1 GB.
Why it should take hours to upload is another matter. If you use the site's uploader, I would expect the upload for a 15 minute movie to be under a half hour. You may have an ISP issue. Do several upload speed checks.
Good luck.

  • Why are 720p videos the same size as 1080p videos in the iTunes store?

    Normally I rent standard definition videos from the iTunes store. They are around 1.3-2GB in size.
    Today I decided to download high definition! But I am confused by the description. Although the video is available in 720p & 1080 p, the size for HD is 5.14GB. Why haven't they mentioned two sizes for HD? And how come you can't choose ?
    In my preferences I have selected "prefer 720p", but if I have to download a file that is the same size regardless of 720p vs 1080p,  then I would rather download 1080p.

    I checked a few old films and Amazon's prices match iTunes:
    Oliver Twist (1948)
    iTunes Rent £2.49 Buy £9.99
    Amazon Rent £2.49 Buy £9.99 (or on DVD for £3.70)
    Oh, Mr. Porter (1937)
    iTunes Rent £2.49 Buy £7.99
    Amazon Buy only £7.99 (or on DVD for £4.10)
    The Scarlet Pimpernel (1934)
    iTunes Rent £2.49 Buy £4.99
    Amazon Rent £2.49 Buy 4.99
    A Tale of Two Cities (1935)
    iTunes Rent £2.49 Buy £9.99
    Amazon Rent £2.49 Buy £9.99
    excepting only that for some reason you can't rent Oh, Mr. Porter on Amazon. £9.99 does seem a little excessive for The Scarlet Pimpernel. I suppose it's a 'what the market can bear' calculation.
    Interestingly:
    La Dolce Vita
    iTunes SD Rent £3.49 Buy £9.99 (HD Rent £4.49 Buy £13.99)
    Not on Amazon except as a DVD £19.99 (of course it is a three hour film), but
    Curzon Cinema (not stated if SD or HD) Rent £2.00 no purchase.

  • Hi all! What is the best way to create the correct space for baseball jersey names and numbers? along with making sure they are the right size for large printing.

    What is the best way to create the correct space for baseball jersey names and numbers? along with making sure they are the right size for large printing.

    Buying more hard drive space is a very valid option, here.  Editing takes up lots of room, you should never discount the idea of adding more when you need it.
    Another possibility is exporting to MXF OP1a using the AVC-I codec.  It's not lossless, but it is Master quality.  Plus the file size is a LOT smaller, so it may suit your needs.

  • How do I get my Mac Book Pro desk top back to the right size?

    My son was using my Mac Book Pro this morning and managed to enlarge both the desk top and any browser I use - Safari, Firefox etc.  I am unable to get them back to the right size and have to keep shifting across to see what files I have etc.  Can anyone give me advice on how to put it back to normal.  I have tried looking at 'view options' and also in trackpad, mouse and keyboard in preferences but to no avail.  Note that the files on the desk top are not smaller or bigger - it is the actual desktop which has increased in size and is no longer contained within the frame of the screen.  Would be grateful for any help and thank you.

    Did you try CONTROL and two finger drag on the trackpad?
    Ciao.

    I try to insert some images on a website but the images are not in the right color mode. I do not know what to do? and also I have 1200 images to insert so I can not change one after one. So I need to set up an action, but I donot know how to do it... Thanks

    What is the problem specifiaclly?
    If the images are intended for web use I would recommend converting them to sRGB which could be done with Edit > Convert to Profile or with File > Save for Web, but as including a Save step in Actions and applying them as Batch can sometimes cause problems I would go with regular converting.
    You could also try Image Processor Pro.

  • Can't make text the right size

    HI , I'm having a frustrating problem. I'm trying to get the text announcing the levels in my game to be the right size when it's online. It works fine offline, but when I put the swf up online the text looks like it's about 2.4 instead of 24 like I am trying to get it. Here's the code in the start game method:
    public function startGame():void
    canFire = true;
    paperHeadlineIsAdded = false;
    NumOfDrops = 0;
    pastLevelTwenty = false;
    gameIsOver = false;
    speedVar = 90;
    textRemoved = true;
    origNumOfPlanes = 25;
    waitForNewLife = false;
    newLevel = false;
    bombDropSpeed = 3;
    NumOfPlanes = origNumOfPlanes;
    airplanes = [];
    bullets = [];
    bombs = [];
    // init score
    lives = 3;
    shotsLeft = 10;
    shotsHit = 0;
    showGameScore();
    levelNum = 1;
    iconArray = [];
    // create gun
    aagun = new AAGun();
    aagun.gotoAndStop(57);
    addChild(aagun);
    // create object arrays
    airplanes = new Array();
    bullets = new Array();
    bombs = new Array();
    //text formatting
    textFormat = new TextFormat();
    textFormat.font=font.fontName;
    textFormat.font = "Guadalupe";
    textFormat.size = 24;
    textFormat.align = "center";
    textFormat.color = 0xffffff;
    trace(getChildAt(numChildren-1).name);
    livesIcons();
    // listen for keyboard
    stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN,keyDownFunction);
    stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP,keyUpFunction);
    //setup your fireTimer and attach a listener to it.
    fireTimer = new Timer(300, 1);
    fireTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, fireTimerHandler, false, 0, true);
    // look for collisions
    addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,onEnterFrame);
    var siren:Sound = new Siren();
    chanD = siren.play(0,800);
    // start planes flying
    setNextPlane();
    and here's the rest of the code that puts the text up in this method:
    public function wait():void {
    if(levelNum>19){
    thisIsTheEnd();
    pastLevelTwenty = true;
    gameIsOver = true;
    newLevel = false;
    if(newLevel == true){
    if(aagun.aagunGone == false){
    textFormat = new TextFormat();
    textFormat.font=font.fontName;
    textFormat.font = "Guadalupe";
    textFormat.size = 24;
    textFormat.align = "center";
    textFormat.color = 0xffffff;
    levelNum ++;
    speedVar+= 25;
    newLevelText = new TextField();
    newLevelText.width = 550;
    newLevelText.y = 110;
    newLevelText.selectable = false;
    newLevelText.defaultTextFormat = textFormat;
    newLevelText.embedFonts=true
    newLevelText.defaultTextFormat.size = 24;
    newLevelText.text = "Level "+ String(levelNum);
    waitForNewLife = true;
    addChild(newLevelText);
    textRemoved = false;
    if (gameIsOver != true){
    waitTimer = new Timer(5000,1);
    waitTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE, startNewLife);
    waitTimer.start();
    anyone have an idea why this is happening? Please let me know. Thank you.

    I can't upload the html file with the swf because the place I have my game uploaded only asks for an swf file. Do you know why it doesn't work? when I load the html in my browser it works but not just the swf online.

  • I need to know how to "compress" the Folder Tree.  The File folders are moving to the right and out of sight in Lightroom 5.

    I need to know how to "compress" the Folder Tree.  The File folders are moving to the right and out of sight in Lightroom 5.

    A couple of suggestions that may help:
    - Make sure you've made the left-hand column as wide as possible by grabbing the divider between the column and the Library grid view.
    - You can hide a parent folder from the display by right-clicking it and selecting Hide This Parent. This will shift all the child folders to the left.

  • Facebook columns are shifted to the right

    This happens only on facebook, all the columns are shifted to the right side of the page. I've check FB's web site for help but its hard to find any answers. Im using most updated XP Home, and running FF 6.0.1. This does not happen when I use I.E. however.
    I listed my profile address but not sure you can view it.

    Hi I started this particular conversation and I just fixed FB format. I changed the font on Western to 14 and the default to 18. FB went back to normal!

  • How to get folders/icons in all finder areas to have the same size?

    I'm trying to make the icons in all areas of my finder appear a larger size. I've managed to make this happen by going into view/view options, but it seems to change it only for that window. If I go into a different window they are the "default" size of smaller.
    How do I change it so that all windows open in the same look/feel?
    Thanks.

    Is that accurate? That I must do it with each "group" of windows. For example, if I have "music videos" as a folder with various artists folders, I have found that if I do "music videos" it seems to work for the folders inside. But I go to "tv shows" as a new window, I must repeat the process. True?
    no. if you do this in one folder and use "set as defaults" it should apply to all folders no matter where they are located. delete the file homefolder/library/preferences/com.apple.finder.plist, control-option-click on Finder in the dock and choose "relaunch". this will reset your finder preferences. try setting default view options again.
    Sorry if this is elementary.
