Best Compression Option For Text Only?

I'll need to pre-render a text element to use in a project later on, and unfortunately, I've tried everything I can think of but I'm simply going to have to add compression to it to make it workable. Uncompressed it's to large and PP crashes when I try to bring it in as a png sequence (as it's over 6,000 frames long).
So, this is just simple scrolling text, lasting 4min and has a transparent background. Can anyone recommend the best compression for a video with just text? My goal is, if I DO have to compress this, to keep it the absolute highest quality possible as it will get recompressed atleast once after this.
I've played around with Quicktime and it seems to have a alpha channel option with some type of PNG compression agent. Not sure if that's the best way to go.
Thnx!

I wouldn't say it's a HDD storage issue as I have a 1.5TB drive. I'm just trying to keep the video file sizes down to avoid unnecessary bloat. The video in question (at 1080p for 4min) is 2GB. That's a little to steep from a storage stand point if I plan to do many of these types of videos.
However, I did some research and tried rendering the same video using QuickTime's "Animation" codec (which is also supposedly a lossless codec). The file size is now down to around 400MB and I have an alpha channel I can use for transparency.
What are your(s) thoughts on this particular codec or are there better options?

  • Second phone number for a contact wont appear as an option for text messaging on iPhone 4/IOS6

    My iPhone 4 (IOS6) is a work phone and my number is blocked (I have to call a lot of people while out of the office who I don't want to have my cell number). Since I want my friends to know it is me when I call I save their phone number in my contact list with *82 in front of their number. However, I learned that text messaging doesn't seem to work with *82 in front of the number so I also have each contact saved as a second number without the *82 at the beginning for texting only. After "upgrading" to IOS6 I have found that my texting number won't show up when I type the contact name into the address bar in the text message app, just the *82 number that won't work. It used to list all numbers associated with that contact. I know I could just send them a message from the contact card one time and then just open the thread in the messaging app every time after that, but since I am often driving when I am out of the office I use Dragon dictation to compose my texts and then only have to type the contact name into the address line each time instead of typing an entire message. Long story short, I really need it to list all numbers for each contact and not only the one they randomly decide I might want. I have also checked my contacts and ensured that the non-*82 number is listed first in the contact card, that didn't change anything.

    There is an option in the Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout. Of course this means that your screen layout will be reset but maybe this will 'bump' those hidden apps out of the 'invisible 5th row'. It's worth a try I guess. Did you check to make sure the apps weren't pushed to like the very last screen instead?

  • Best export option for Sound Designer

    Hi everyone,
    I am working on a new short film and I am working with a Sound Designer and composer.  We want to create a 5.1 mix for the film (which I have never done before).  So I am trying to figure out what would be the best export option for him to work with to make his life easier.
    Providing him with just a ProRes export won't help him match up to my cuts in the time line since he doesn't use FCP X.  So my thought is that we will have matching files and folder structure for both video and audio before I start editing.  But what I am not understanding is once I have a complete rough cut, how do I get him a cut list so that he can totally match up my cuts with the same audio files on his system?
    Any advice?
    Thanks.

    See this pic for an example of how my exports turn out:

    First off, the titling style is not ideal for DV (or DVD). That is, your font should be a bit fatter (or, at least, bold) and perhaps 1-2 point sizes larger. (This is all because the DV codec makes titles look like s--t if the font size is small and narrow)
    Also, for your LiveType files, make sure FCP is interpreting your alpha channel correctly. For every LiveType file placed in your timeline, select it, then press Command-9 to bring up the Item Properties dialog. In the column for Alpha, make sure it says it says Black. If, for instance, it reads Straight, Control-click [right-click] on Straight, then select Black from the contextual menu. You should notice your text 'popping out' a little more. You'll have to re-render, of course.
    Also, in QuickTime Player, press Command-, (that's  + comma) to bring up QT's preferences. Make sure that the box for Use High Quality Video Setting when available is checked. (In order to get this working, it's probably best to set this, then restart QT - or close, then open, all movies). With the High Quality flag always used, your titling should always look better in QT player. (That is, there is no change made to your actual file, but at least when previewing, you'll get a better idea of things)
    After you've made these changes, export as you were (Current Settings) and let us know if you see any improvements.

  • Best Export Options for QT5 Viewing

    I run a site for Mac OS 7 users and want to upload some videos there in QuickTime 5 format (the latest version for Mac OS 7). I am working on a G4 running Tiger and QuickTime 7 Pro.
    What are some of your opinions on the best export options for QT5 viewing, distrubed over the internet, at say 320x240?

    Alas, the data rate of these two video codecs must be a lot higher (at least 25% more than the more modern codecs) to ensure a good visual experience.
    A neat html "trick" is to encode with these higher data rates but at a smaller dimension. Instead of 320X240 use 160X120. The smaller dimensions help keep the file size down. During html playback use the object and embed tag to scale="tofit" and enlarge the playback area.
    Your src (source) tag dimensions are larger than the original source file. Using scale="tofit" tags the file plays at the designated size instead of the original (160X120) size.
    The pages hosted for .Mac users (iWeb and Homepage) use the opposite tag (scale="aspect") that fit the source to the template of the page. One of mine as an example:

  • What's the best importing option for a Flash video?

    I've got a few encoded high definition videos that are now .flv files and I'm wondering which is the best option to choose when importing the .flv file into my Flash project? I'm looking for fastest loading/streaming with best quality to be the result. If I choose a streaming option like progressive download from a web server, would the choice be dependent on the type of server the file(s) are hosted on? I'm using Flash Professional 8.

    Hi,
    The best importing option for video is streaming from flash media server. Below I discuss the drawbacks if you use other alternatives.
    i) If you use embed video option
    File size will go huge. Loading time will be higher. This is not a good option if you have big size video files.
    ii) If you use progressive download from a web server
    Video file gets downloaded to the client machine during the progressive download. Since video file is downloaded into the client machine, there are chances of the external user to reuse the same video.
    iii) If you use streaming from flash media server
    Video directly gets streamed from Flash Media Server. In this case, video file download does not happen on the client side. Video file security concerns are already addressed by Flash Media Server protocols.
    Thanks

  • Does Mac OS X v10.8.5's Preview have a compression option for JP(E)G images?

    Hello.
    Does Mac OS X v10.8.5's Preview have a compression option for JP(E)G images? I did not see an option for it.
    Thank you in advance.

    Always make and work with a copy of your original image.
    .jpg is a 'lossy' compression, so once saved to a smaller file size, the detail cannot be regained by attempting to re-save the smaller image back to a larger file size.
    In OS X 10.8.5, using Finder, I used File Export (but you can also use Save As, revealed with Command+Duplicate in the Finder menu)
    The original digital image was 6.7MB, created with a digital camera at 4000 pixels wide x 3000 pixels height.
    Using the slider as shown above to change the Quality setting in increments of 2 'bars' here are the file size results.
    Example image saved at '2' quality (smallest file size): {click on the images to enlarge on your screen}
    A very 'busy' scene, saved at the smallest file size, might be OK for casual web use, such as social media posts.
    Viewed at magnification, the artifacts, loss of detail, and digital 'noise' become apparent.

  • Best logging option for SharePoint 2013 on-premise application

    What is the best logging option for SharePoint 2013 on-premise application?

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you want to know the logging option in SharePoint 2013.
    SharePoint has its own logging system called “Unified Logging System (ULS)“, we can use the ULS log to see if anything unexpected occurred, we can use the
    ULSViewer for more convenient log viewing experience.
    Or we can log information programmatically.
    There are some logging classes can be used, such as
    SPMonitoredScope ,  SPDiagnosticsService, or create your own “Diagnostics Service” – which is technically just a new class inherited
    from SPDiagnosticsServiceBase. 
    We can also utilize diagnostics.asmx web service for the client side applications.

    I purchased a  MBP 13.3/2.5/8GB/128GB FLASH from Apple store in Manhattan Beach,CA some months ago. It has only 128 GB storage.
    I soon realized that I did a big mistake not upgrading the storage when purchasing. I thought I could upgrade later which is not possible I understand.
    My Q:
    What is the best and most practical/userer friendly option for additional storage say up to 1 TB ?

    Hey leiv karsten,
    As your macbook is retina,you can't upgrade it like previous generation macbook pro.You can purchase a portable 1TB external harddrive.

  • Best Practices - How to adjust light in selected areas and best options for export (only adjust ligh

    Hello,
    I have the cs suite, and recently downloaded the lightroom demo. I am fairly good with picking up programs but couldn't locate where or how i can select individual elements to lighten/darken? If i wanted to make a an object lighter, should i be doing this within ps or is there an easy to use tool within lightroom?
    Second question, when exporting into ps, what is the best practice.. should i only adjust lighting and any other edits within ps?
    cheers

    Take a look at the Adjustment Brush. It's in the tool pallette, just below the histogram when you're in the Develop Module. It will not only dodge and burn, but allow you to apply lots of other kinds of local changes.
    In general, I find that I can do everything in Lightroom for most images.
