Best quick and dirty export format for roughcuts

They'll be going up on vimeo.  Currently using H264, but filesizes are not small.  Cant use FLV for vimeo, was wondering for opinions are the best format for quick encoding and small filesize (quality not such an issue)
thanks!

are you saying reducing the size makes no difference to filesize?
Correct.  The bit rate determines how much data is available to create the image in the frame.  If it's a small frame size, the data goes a long way and the picture quality is good.  If the frame size is big, then the data gets spread very thin and the picture quality is bad.  So a higher bit rate = bigger file = better picture quality for larger frame sizes.
Regardless of frame size, only the bit rate and duration determine the size of the video file on disk.

  • Quick question regarding best practice and dedicating NIC's for traffic seperation.

    Hi all,
    I have a quick question regarding best practice and dedicating NIC's for traffic seperation for FT, NFS, ISCSI, VM traffic etc.  I get that its best practice to try and separate traffic where you can and especially for things like FT however I just wondered if there was a preferred method to achieving this.  What I mean is ...
    -     Is it OK to have everything on one switch but set each respective portgroup to having a primary and failover NIC i.e FT, ISCSI and all the others failover (this would sort of give you a backup in situations where you have limited physical NICs.
    -    Or should I always aim to separate things entirely with their own respective NICs and their own respective switches?
    During the VCAP exam for example (not knowing in advance how many physical NIC's will be available to me) how would I know which stuff I should segregate on its own separate switch?  Is there some sort of ranking order of priority /importance?  FT for example I would rather not stick on its own dedicated switch if I could only afford to give it a single NICs since this to me seems like a failover risk.

    I know the answer to this probably depends on however many physical NICs you have at your disposal however I wondered if there are any golden 100% rules for example FT must absolutely be on its own switch with its own NICs even at the expence of reduced resiliency should the absolute worst happen?  Obviously I know its also best practice to seperate NICs by vender and hosts by chassis and switch etc 

  • List Export Format for Prospects

    Hi,
    I am looking for a list export format for Prospects in Siebel Marketing. An example load format was provided and I am able to load prospects successfully but I need the list export format for Prospects to be able to launch. The OBI version used is 10.1.3.4.1 and while this provides example export formats for Accounts and Contacts it doesn't for Prospects. Does anyone know if there is such an export format for Prospects or would I need to create my own list format and subject are?
    Best regards,
    Pete

    Hi,
    I solved the problem myself. It was caused by the source (S_PRSP_CONTACT) for the logical table OLTP Prospects in the business model Marketing Contact List being inactive by default.

  • Is there any quick and dirty way to determine what something will look like

    Hi,
    Is there any way (rule of thumb) to determine what something will look like when printed.
    for example.
    I am doing a composite (hope this is the right word). It will have some people sitting at a table and I want to have another layer with another picture behind it.
    I plan for the output to be fairly small (print size), say 4 x 5 or whatever.
    Now, if I go to the internet and google (or mamma.com) and search for images (large) and it comes back to me, I will see pictures that are (for example) 800 x 526 pixels 367 kb, or 940 x 480 pixels 166 kb.
    I would have to assume the 367 kb will print at better resolution, but if i liked the 166 kb picture better, is there a quick and dirty way to determine if it would print better (say 250 or 300 dpi or whatever) or not?
    So, bottome line,
    Assume my output picture will be 4 x 5 (and I want 300dpi (or is it ppi)
    How do quickly look at google results and determing if they will print ok?

    The closest to a one click fix in photoshop cs-cs5 is
    Image>Adjustments>Shadow/Highlight or opening the
    image through camera raw and using the recovery slider.

    Recently downloaded FLAC app. and want to stream 96/24 to my stereo system. Whats best wireless and hard wired option for a 30 foot run?

    Try these 3 possible solutions:
    1. Restart iPad
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPad. To turn iPad back on, hold down the Sleep/Wake until the Apple logo appears.
    2. Close inactive Apps
    Double-click the Home button; hold Apps down (in the Task Bar) for a second or two until you see the minus sign. Tap and close all inactive Apps.
    3. Reset iPad
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Ignore the red slider.

  • HDV: best export format for client viewing?

    I am working on a project in HDV 1080i (1440).
    What is the best export format to create a sample for a client to view- one that will give the proper aspect ratio.
    I've tried everything I can think of, and the export is still squashed 1440 and not full 1920
    I am a pretty experienced Motion user.....please give me the video and the output settings.
    thanks!

    hemmster- thanks I really appreciate the specific info
    I dont mean to be dense but....I don't see those buttons anywhere in Motion 4. When I go to File>export what I see is:
    Export: (quicktime)
    Use: set to current project
    When I click on the "options" button I am taken to the export options window with 2 tabs: "Video/audio" and "output"
    Can you please translate your settings into those parameters....? I am assuming that under "video/audio" that compressor is H.264. The advanced button lets me set the data rate.
    The Output tab lets you choose from a full range of resolutions. I could select "Custom" and set to 1280. No options for deinterlacing to be seen. Interlacing is a big problem with this project....
    I have read the complete manual (twice) and the peachpit books. There is little info on this subject to be found there, so I am depending on the kindness of strangers
    Thanks, you are awesome........!

  • Best export format for encoding & burning Blu-ray with toast?

    Hi!
    Have a 1 hour and fifteen minutes program which I burn to Blu-Ray with Toast 10/HD. The problem is the time it takes, about 25 hours. Is this resonable really?
    Maybe it´s depending on the format I put out from Final Cut - H.264, 1920 x 1080 (1888 x 1062)Stereo (L R), 48,000 kHz
    Does anyone know if there is a better export setting in Final Cut to get the process work faster in Toast?
    Best / Urban

    I've never used toast to burn a BluRay however I have used encore and I export 10 bit uncompressed out of FCP and compress that. If your over an hour of program you'll have to scale back the data rate to make it fit, a 90 minute feature looks good content wise, but any text on it will show signs of the reduced data rate. the encode typically takes about 8 hours to build the disk image on an 8 core mac then about 45 minutes to burn from the image. I burn first to a rewritable in case of issues, then if it passes muster I'll burn the master

  • Best exporting format for mobile me publishing

    Hi all,
    Every time I publish a movie to my mobileme site I get notes from folks with PC's complaining they cannot watch my movies without downloading QT. Does anyone have an export choice that might solve this dilemma, and will there eventually be an export format that will work with both platforms?
    Thanks

    +"Does anyone have an export choice that might solve this dilemma, and will there eventually be an export format that will work with both platforms?"+
    Not if you want to post to MobileMe. You would have to post to YouTube, Vimeo or some other video hosting site.

  • What are the best data and bit rate setting for uploading from final cut express to Youtube?

    Can anyone suggest the best data rate and bit rate presets for uploading footage from final cut express 4 to Youtube? What settings will provide the best resolution, quality, and match the current youtube requirements?
    Thank you in advance for your help,
    Susan Kayne

    It depends on whether you are using aspect ratios of 4:3 or 16:9.
    Below is some simple guidance that will provide good quality with reasonably small file sizes.
    The first part is for 4:3 video:-
    1. File>Export Using QT Conversion.
    2. The "Format" window should say, "QT Movie".
    3. In "Use" select "LAN/Intranet" from the dropdown menu.
    4. Click "Save" and when it has finished encoding, upload it to YouTube.
    If you are making 16:9 video (Standard or High Definition) do steps 1 to 3 above.
    Then when you have selected "LAN/Intranet" press the "Options" button and in the new
    window that opens press the  "Size"  button and change the  "640x480" to  "853x480"
    To do this you will have to click on the  640x480 and a dropdown menu appears.
    Select "Custom" from  the bottom of the menu and in the window that opens
    you will see 2 boxes.
    Put  853  in the first box and  480  in the second.
    Click OK.
    Then Save it.

  • Exporting Format for Final Cut

    I have been sent someone's home video on a DVD. I ripped it from the DVD and now want to send it to FCP to edit with some other DV footage. In the quicktime inspector, it is saying that the ripped file is:
    h.264 720x480 (853x480) ---- 29.97 fps ----- data size 787.89 mb ----2117.86 kbits/s
    All I was trying to do was convert this file to DV so that I could easily edit it in FCP. When I tell quicktime to export, the progress bar in the export window hardly moves at all -- in fact I came back a few hours later and it said "failed" due to the "disk is full". This doesn't make any sense because I have over 30 gigs available on my disk. I assume I am doing something very wrong here. Is there anyone who can tell me how to take the video file described above, and export it to be edited in an FCP sequence with other DV video? Thanks.

    Excellent info fellas. Sorry, I have been gone for the past two days -- some of the information I understood, some not so much. For the record, all I am trying to do is convert the .vob file (i guess that's what it is) on the DVD to a video file that I can edit on my DV/NTSC timeline in FCP. As a curiosity, I just took MPEG Streamclip and used it to convert whatever file it is that I am converting from the DVD to a .dv file which I then imported into FCP. The movie was captured on some sort of an HD camcorder, so it is in 16:9, but otherwise everything is matched to my FCP sequence. In fact when I control click it in the FCP timeline, it is saying that its format is 29.97, DV/DVCPRO, 6.9 MB/sec, with a pixel aspect of NTSC - CCIR 601. But when I load it into the viewer, it has black bars above and below it and is definitely in a 16:9 aspect - this is enough to confuse the heck out of me. Either way, I have to render the movie when it is in the timeline, but the quality is real nice and it should work for the 20 seconds or so that I need of it. Either way, I am confused about the discussion about the MPEG - 2 conversion. Colin, the Apple product that you mention, is that meant to convert the .vob file on the actual DVD to MPEG -2 so that then it can be converted further using MPEG Streamclip to something that is useable in FCP? Any further clarification would be excellent. Sorry, I am still new to this format/codec conversion game and am trying to read and learn all I can to make this a little less painful in the future. Anyhoo, you guys are great and thanks for the info thus far.
    If it would help, here is a more straight-forward hypothetical question:
    If you had an FCP sequence that was DV/DVCPRO NTSC 720x480 29.97 and you needed to put a small movie clip into it that just happened to be coming from a buddy's DVD that he gave to you - and the video on that DVD was obviously shot on a consumer-grade HD camcorder (16:9), what would you do to make this work?? Thanks again.

  • Best system and file set up for SSD + HDD in optical drive

    I have finally pulled the trigger and purchased a Samsung 512GB 840 pro SSD for the main bay in my late 2011 Macbook Pro and a iTB SATA 2 HDD with Data Doubler from OWC to replace my optical drive. My question is what is the best way to set these up after I have installed them?I am an audio engineer and I do a lot of multi channel audio editing with large files and want the SSD for the speed for my editing. Do I set these up as separate drives or do I RAID ( if that is possible)? Do I have my System software and programs on the SSD and use the HDD as my scratch drive? I don't have access to a Mac Mini, so can't create a fusion drive. Appreciate the advise.

    Put the SSD in the main drive bay and the rotating HDD in the Optical bay. Use either Disk Utility or one of the Cloning software programs to Restore or Clone your current install from the HDD to the SSD.
    Or Make a Time Machine Backup of the current install and then use the Recovery HD system to Restore that TM backup to the SSD.
    Or you can do a Clean install of OS X on the SSD then reinstall all your programs and then copy over all your files from the HDD to the SSD.
    Many ways to do what you want. You just have to pick the one you want to use.
    Yes all files on every drive connected to your Mac in any way, internally or by an external port, will be seens by Finder.

  • What is the best filetype and resolution to use for flash, using a 1920x1080 stage.

    Hi all,
    Hope this isn't a dumb question, but what is the best file type and resolution to use for a Flash stage setup of 1920x1080 and 1024x768?
    Lately my images have been looking pixelated. There OK when I test the movie in Flash, and the SWF looks OK, but the HTML looks really pixelated.
    Many thanks to all.
    JR

    is your page scaling (ie, 100% x 100%)?
    if not, there should not be any problem.
    if yes, then you usually want your bitmaps to be as large as the largest screen you want to use and NOT have them appear pixelated.
    or, use vector graphics so they size without pixelation.

  • IPhoto and the .DNG format for RAW images...

    Does anyone have any experience using the .DNG RAW format with iPhoto?
    I'm considering converting my .CRW RAW images to .DNG (long story) and I'm wondering if I risk anything in doing so (especially when using iPhoto as it's my main photo management program).
    Any advice would be appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Kristin.

    Actually... I just noticed that Finder (in 10.4.11) had started to show previews of Panasonic FZ30-derived .DNG files. This camera is unsupported in Aperture and iPhoto. I'm not sure when this started, as I had already begun the process of picking a new camera, or moving to Lightroom.
    Thinking, "That's funny, I wonder if..." and sure enough, iPhoto accepted a .DNG from the FZ30. Woot!
    This is great! Now I can convert 16 MB RAW files to 8 MB dng's with Adobe DNG converter and stick with iPhoto for organisation. Just have to make sure DNG Converter doesn't convert the RAW to linear image.
    I knew Apple wouldn't let me down. (Leave me twisting in the wind for awhile maybe)
