Best export setting for iMovie photo slide show for use on Mac or PC

I've searched, no clear answer.... Simply trying to determine the best settings in iMovie 11 to export slideshow (no video, just stills using jpegs) that will ultimately be used primarily for viewing on a computer screen..either Mac or PC. Goal is highest quality..don't care about size.
Am I even asking this question right?
thanks!

The presets are all h.264. They are pretty good. However, if you know what you are doing, you may get better results using export to QuickTime. It is not likely to look any better, but you may be able to get a smaller file size that looks about the same.

    What is the best export setting for video from premeire to blogger.com or blogspot.com

    I have not been able to find the technical limits/specs for the site Blogger or blogspot.com. That is why I made the post here thinking some Adobe users may have experimented already and come up with good export settings for AVI DV video to a format optimized for Blogger.

  • Best POS system for use with Mac?

    What is the best POS system for use with Mac?  Using Quickbooks and paper invoices and inventory.  Would like to upgrade to POS system.

    Ideally it is best to have seperate (discreet) EHD's for a PC and Mac due to their differences in HD formatting. However, this is not always feasable but there are alternative solutions availble. Among those are:
    Creating and useing a Dropbox account that can be shared by PCs, Macs, IOS and Android devices. Dropbox allows for 2GB of free storage and additional storage is available for a small monthly fee.
    Another possiblity is formating an EHD so that it may be shared by both a PC and Mac, this format is FAT 32. The downside of doing this is the size of the files written to the HD are limited to 4GB.

  • Best exporting setting for web

    What will be the best exporting setting from FILE>EXPORT> to share a HD projet on the web.
    Jean

    Convert it to h.264.
    Try this:
    File - Export - QT Conversion...
    Make sure QT movie is selected and where it says default... change it to Broadband High.
    Then go into the OPTIONS button and change the size to reflect the 16:9 aspect ratio...
    That will give you the quality you want I'm sure.
    As for # megs... well -- try a smaller SIZE option and then force it 2x or 1.5x from your web page.
    Good luck,

  • Advice of best export setting for HD

    Hello.  I am editing with CS4 and did my first HD project.  Project setup was fine, used Sony XDcam EX native MP4 footage that was shot HQ 1440x1080i.  Didn't show red render line in PRemiere so I believe the new sequence settings are correct (XDcam HD, 1080i (60i), 1440x1080, HD anamorphic 1.333, 29.97).   In Premiere the footage looks supberb, I just had to interpret footage as HD 1080 anamorphic in the Premiere bin so it displayed to the right aspect ratio.
    When I export with Media Encoder I find it looks compressed (softer) and on pans is blurs a bit with what looks like scan lines.  Motion stabilizer was shot off when I shot, so thats not the issue.  How do I get my HD project to encode to mpg2 and still retain the HD qualities.  I've tried so many setting combinations in Encoder. Here's an example:
    HDTV 1080p 29.97
    NTSC
    quality 5
    1440x1080
    29.97fps
    none (progressive)
    wide 16:9 (1.333)
    profile: main
    level: high
    bitrate: min. 8.33, target 15, max 18.5
    160 MB file size (sample 1 min 30 second clip)
    What is the recommended bit rate that most people can play back on their computers / DVD player?  Is it just not possible to get the quality unless you go BlueRay? What am I doing wrong?  Is encoder improved in CS5?
    Or should I be recommending a different playback format to clients?
    I'm lost and can't find the answers.  Thanks,
    Christine Z

    Christine,
                    You are getting very mixed up here or at least the language of your post is confusing.
    Regardless of what flavour of HD you shoot and edit in, compressing for SD DVD involves resizing and effectively 'downrezzing' your footage so it will never look as good as HD. In PAL land where I live SD DVD is 720*576, NTSC is I believe 720*480. So to compress something to watch on a DVD player you want to be using those dimensions to begin with - there is probably a DVD preset that does that.
    If, instead, you are talking about delivering to the client as some other file such as H.264, Flash or WMV then I would still down rez just to make it playback better - a 1440*1080 WMV wont play nicely on most PCs.
    The settings you state below, by the way, look more like those you'd use for HD DVD or Blu-Ray.
    In terms of using the Media Encoder in CS4, if it's any consolation, I've never got a decent HD to SD conversion out of it.
    Finally the quality of DVD or other file playback can vary enormously depending on the monitor so check it on a couple of others and if it's a DVD, try it on a TV.
    Maybe post exactly what you're trying to achieve and I'm sure others will chip in.

  • What is the best export setting for burning a dvd?

    I am trying to export my senior thesis to a DVD, I've never burnt a DVD before and am using Adobe Premiere cs6. 
    I used a Canon7D 24fps to film and want the best quality of video and audio possible. 
    ALSO, after I've exported it, are there any other steps I need to take before burning it to a DVD?
    Please help!

    The best quality will be using an x264 encoder in CQ mode to create a Blu-ray.
    Next best is exporting using an H.264 Blu-ray preset for creating a Blu-ray.
    After that, exporting a lossless file for MPEG 2 conversion using the free HC Encoder using CQ mode, which will end up on a DVD.
    Last in the quality lineup, export using an MPEG2-DVD preset, changing the Min, Target and Max bitrates to 5, 7 and 9 respectively.
    Avoid Dynamic Link.

  • Best export setting for Final Edit Master with AVCHD

    Hey Guys,
    I have been editing AVCHD footage shot from the Panasonic TM700 cam, footage shot in 1080p 60p.  After I have finished my edits and I want to render out a MASTER film that I can use in multiple fronts if I need, what is the best setting to render out to?
    I have a friend in the compression biz, and he tells me to render out to mpeg2 main concepts codec at 50Mbps setting, your thoughts?  In this setting I cannot render out at 59.94, only 29.97 or 30.  What should I do?
    Chris

    The best Master will be something lossless, something that doesn't degrade the image any further.  That leaves out all MPEG options.
    You can go Uncompressed, or install the free Lagarith or UT codecs on your system.  They're lossless codecs, so they will compress it to make a smaller file than full Uncompressed, but without any loss of quality.
    From there, you can use that to transcode to any other format you like.

  • Best export setting for video taken with an iPhone 4?

    Whats the best way to do it and keep all the quality? Any presets i could have?

  • Best export setting for hdv

    I have some HDV footage that has already been loaded onto my system but I want to convert the footage to a more manageable format so that i can make data disks and share them with people. I also don't want to edit with HDV but converting it to DVCPRO, which I've heard is the best file type to convert it to, takes up way too much space. Any suggestions?

    To share to SHOW or to share to EDIT? DVCPRO HD has a higher data rate than HDV, but like HDV unless people have FCP installed on their system they will not be able to see the footage. Those codecs only come with FCP.
    To VIEW...H.264.

  • Best Export Setting for TV 1080 with constant FPS

    1080 23.976fps  DSLR footage
    Coming from Final Cut Pro,  I would export a ProRes 1080 mov file for my TV.  This would give me a high quality playback.
    I have experimented with several export options in PP 6 and noticed choppy playback on my TV.  Upon closer inspection, the FPS appears to be changing with each frame. 
    What settings do I need for a constant 24fps with a high bitrate ?        

    4 Hours later, I am still waiting on the export of a 10 minute HD timeline.   The clips all have Magic Bullet on them but that's about all.    There must be a quicker workflow for this ?  
    My Final Cut workflow was the following...
    Export a 5-10 minute ProRes HD Sequence takes about 5 minutes!   I then open theProRes mov file and convert to H264 with a smaller dimension. I use quicktime player to make this conversion.  This takes me no more than 1 hour.   Total export and conversion with Apple's Final Cut averages about 1 hour and 20 minutes.

  • Best sequence setting for use with images?

    Hey all.
    I'll be working on a project that will be dealing with mostly images. I have them in their original RAW format as well as jpgs. After messing around in Final Cut with the images, I've noticed that the Viewer will display the image crisp and clear and once displayed on the Canvas window, the image is slightly blurred and the quality is decreased slightly which I'm assuming is because of sequence setting? Basically I'm wondering what my settings should be to produce the highest quality images when displayed in a quicktime movie when I export it.
    Examples of high quality images in a quicktime movie of what I'm looking for:
    http://vimeo.com/7070015
    Any input would be appreciated.
    -Neil

    a project that will be dealing with mostly images...
    And what will the other stuff be, video? What format?
    The viewer always presents the image as is. When you place it on the Timeline, it takes on the attributes of the Sequence setting.
    Your images might be 4000x3000 pixels, but that's not a video standard. Blowing up any video to those pixel dimensions will make it look awful.

  • Recommendation Request: Best flatbed scanner for use with Mac and iPhoto?

    I have a flatbed scanner that Mac doesn't recognize. It's 9 years old, does a great job, but only works with Windows. Period. Don't ask what model or anything, I've already done the research, it's hopeless. MOVING ON... I'm tired of BootCamping to Windows, running scans, and then rebooting and hunting down the files...
    So, what flatbed scanner do you use, rank it on scale of 1-10, and how much did it cost?
    This thread might be useful to many people... FLATBED scanners, only, please. Make another thread for sheetfed scanners if you like.

    This site has some good info on many scanners: Scanner Reviews | Flatbed Scanner |.
    I'd look for one with high optical resolution. It's akin to the zoom in digital cameras, optical vs digital. FWIW I use a Canon 8600F (now replace by the 8800F) which does slides, film strips as well a photos. What I like about it is that you can scan multiple photos and have each saved to it's own file. Other brands of scanners offer that as well I'm sure but it'sjust a feature to consider. My scanner also came with a bundled copy of Photoshop Elements for Mac. Not the latest version but worked very well. Its replacement also bundles PSE.

  • What is the Best & Max Upgrade for Used Power Mac G5

    Hi All,
    I need your help on purchasing an old Second hand Power Mac G5, which will coast me nearly 1900$ with 20" Cinema Display? is this price is OK for the below Spec.:
    Processor: 2.0Ghz Dual Core (1MB Cache for single core)
    RAM: 512 MB, DDR SDRAM PCI 533.
    Graphic Card: Nvidia 6600 128
    Hard Disk: 160GB
    And Super Drive for the DVD Rom.
    As you see its have an old Graphic Card and Small amount of RAM so what is the best amount I can Add on RAM and Best Graphic Card to get the perfect performance?
    And What is the max size of the hard drive supported by the machine is it 2TB or less?
    And last not least can I install the new OSX (Leopard) on the machine and is there any difference between MAC Pro G5 and Power Mac G5?
    Looking forward for the answers and hopefully as soon as possible because I afraid somebody else will gonna by it, Thanks for the support and Good Bye.
    Thanks & Regards,

    Hi! It all depends on your use. If the machine is to be used for serious work such as video editing and Photoshop use then the more power you have usually means more productivity. On the other hand if you are just surfing the net and using word applications like Microsoft Office then nearly any machine is suitable. The early G5's could use 8 gigs of ram and the newer ones 16. Look HERE for late model specs and look HERE for slightly older models. For most people the fastest iMac is a hard machine to beat but there are tradeoffs with an all in one machine. If one component fails it's hard to repair but with a tower design such as a G5 or MacPro the components are easily more replaced. Also expandability with a tower is easier. You can multiple hard drives to a tower that you can't with an all-in-one machine. The new Macpros start at 2799 as per APPLE's SITE while the fastest iMac is 2199 as per APPLE's Site. I'm not a video card expert nor a raid expert so I'll leave those questions to others. Tom

  • Best QT export setting for istockphoto?

    Hi.
    I want to export my footage using PPro CS5 for uploading onto istockphoto.com.
    The required format is QuickTime (Photo-JPEG).
    This is the source summary:
    1440x1080 (1.3333), 29.97fps, Upper
    (was shot with Sony AX2000)
    Does anyone know the best export setting for this footage?
    I tried this...
    Format:QT
    Preset:Custom
    Codec:Photo-JPEG
    1440x1080
    29.97fps
    Upper First
    Aspect: HD Anamorphic 1080 (1.333)
    Then, the exported video looks vertically streched...
    What am I doing wrong?
    Please help.
    Thank you!
    Kitty_Kai

    You're probably doing nothing wrong.  Many players will not unsqueeze the footage automatically, you have to tell it to do that with a keypress or menu setting.
