Best setting for gif animations

what is the optimal setting for animated gifs

Depends on your style and your training as an animator, and
what your project goals are: straight animation? interactivity?
e-cards? Traditional animators used to drawing frame-by-frame with
exposure sheets will feel more comfortable with Toon Boom Studio
(www.toonboom.com). It has far superior drawing tools and color
pallette management and timeline management than Flash. But if
you're used to Illustrator, that may make no difference to you. It
appears that the upcoming Flash CS4 will narrow the gap, as the
interface appears to include enhancements that will be more
familiar to traditional animators, not to mention IK, which Toon
Boom Studio doesn't have (the highly expensive Toon Boom Solo does
have it).
That said, I think Flash is a great program for creating
cartoon animation. You may not think you're interested in
ActionScript programming at this point. I use Flash mainly for
cartoon animation and I resisted ActionScript for a few years. But
once you get used to Flash as an animation tool, and then decide to
dip your little toe into ActionScript, you'll find out what an
astounding tool it is, even for traditional animation, enabling you
to do things impossible in more traditional-oriented programs. Plus
now Flash and Illustrator are fairly well integrated, so you'll be
able to import and export between the two.
On balance, I'd go for Flash.

  • BEST SETTING FOR MOTION ANIMATED TEXT AND GRAPHIC TO PLAY FROM STANDARD DVD

    Hey all,
    I have a motion background with some animated text that I want to play as a loop on a HD plasma.
    The content will play off a standard sony dvd player. clip is about 5 mins long but I want it to loop.
    Questions-
    What format should I compress the animated squence in before using DVD studio pro.
    Content will have no menu.
    Is there another format then NTSC DV i can try and use mpeg4 or something most players will accept that is less compressed the mpeg2 or 4?
    Thanks

    found it myself in myself made my own compressor setting.

  • Best Codec for exporting animations with alpha channel from FCP timeline

    Whats the best codec for exporting animations (hopefully using loseless compression) that will retain alpha channel, and use the current sequence settings for fps and size?
    Currently Im exporting image sequences, but I'd prefer a wrapper.. I don't know much about the 'Animation' export codec.. I did notice that set to current size had some funky value of 753x450 or something.. instead of my current project size of 1920x1080...
    Anyhow.. Just seeing what others are doing..
    basically Im reading out some titles that I'll end up dropping over video later.. but since they render out so slowly (**** lower 3rds is slow) Im trying to get a jump on the process..
    Tx..

    PNG should do it. I think PNG is lossless (that's what they say, anyway). But realistically, if you use PNG, Animation, or JPG2000 set on highest quality, I'd dare you to tell a difference.
    I use PNG because it's supposedly lossless, renders twice as fast as Animation in a FCP timeline, and is usually about half the size.
    If you use "Export Using Quicktime Conversion", you will need to check all of the settings manually to make sure they match your sequence settings. This is always true, no matter what codec you use.
    If that sounds risky, your other option is to go into your sequence settings and change the codec to the one you want to render to (this will probably turn your whole timeline red), and then choose Export -> Quicktime movie.

  • What's the best setting for a best shades quality?

    Hi!
    I would like to know what are the best codec and the best setting for a video with 1920x1080 of resolution.
    I've tried them all but nothing because the shades...are not shades.
    I want a video that is like a uncompressed video but lighter. Same quality, same shades.
    I've tried with Canopus Lossless but the video is darker and huge (7 min for >17 gb),
    then with Canopus HQ, same quality but a little bit lighter (6 gb),
    I've tried with all of codecs and settings but I haven't found what I want.
    Who can help me for the best settings for the best shades?
    Thanks so much.
    P.S: Sorry for my english!

    I used the PNG codec but the video is too big.
    New Question:  I've tried to encode the video with Canopus HQ but to 720p and now the video is more lighter, I wanted to upload it on YouTube but is not compatible with the standards.
    If I encode this video by changeing the codec to Microsoft Avi uncompressed, can I have the same quality and the same weight?

  • What is the best setting for export movie in widescreen format?

    Please tell me what is the best setting for exporting movie in Widescreen format?

    Like in After effect we use "NTSC D1 Widescreen Square Pixel".,
    Carefully examine the codec and pixel dimensions of that output file. That's certainly easy for an experienced VFX person like yourself.
    Then carefully look over the presets in FCP to find the same attibutes. You can also use the online help system for FCP and search for "D1"
    However, your question remains unanswerable because we don't know how you're getting to the monitor. What are you playing back you AE sequences on that displays them on your LCD? You're assuming we know what you're doing and, I assure you, we do not.

  • Best setting for 3D content for Flash

    Hello all. I am a Premiere noob that works in Cinema 4D.  I am exporting C4D  animations as QuickTime "animation" files. (.mov)  These videos are highly  detailed pixel-precise renders. I want to bring them into Premier with this  level of pixel precision, yet I cant seem to find the correct setting to ensure  they import and play back "ice cold." They tend to look slightly blurry in the  preview. The renders are for a specific flash size and are set to 874x480.
    Can someone help me with the correct setting for the movie? Please... The  content is so beautiful, I don't want to sacrifice any quality. I have the  latest version of PP. Thank you for any help you can give.

    Thanks for the help sir.  This is actually for a huge project. I'll post the  link here in a week or so.  Be sure to check it out.  We're all good now.  Ice  cold.  - No blurriness.  Its too bad I was able to do this years ago without any  issue.  Video codec's and technology sure have changed drastically in the past  few years.  There's a real learning curve for those who are not daily users.
    -B
    A side note I learned in this process: Cinema 4D users should not export their Quciktime (.mov) files from Premiere Pro as Uncompressed AVI.  It just screws up the pixel precision. Not sure why.  Just use the old school .avi and the advice above. The renders will be perfect.

  • What is the best setting for compressing to a Window Media Player?

    I now have the latest Compressor, just now need to figure out which is the best setting to use for compressing to a Windows Media Player. Does anyone know which is the best method?

    I'd propose you buy a licence for Telestreams FLip4MAC (flipfactory) Quicktime components to enable ENCODING for HD and SD as you need. It works ok however none of my work requires specifics for windows player. I have a licence just the same.
    If you have Flip4mac already installed, you can use the system preferneces  panel to order a an ENCODER component licence. There may be others around as well.
    You can just use compressor.app and change the inspector video to use "quicktime components/windows media encoder" in the batch job.. its pretty easy.

  • Best setting for my set of devices

    I would like to know what would be the best settings to get the maximum throughput for my set of devices.
    Last night both Airport Extreme and Airport Express were updated with firmware to 7.5.2
    1) Upstairs I have an Airport Extreme. Newer version with 2.4gz and 5ghz bands. This is connected to my AT&T Uverse router/modem. My iMac is ethernet connected to the Airport. Running speed tests I get almost the expected speeds of 12mbs download and 1.5mbs upload.
    I had setup a 2.4ghz network and a 5ghz network but may not have used the best settings for my environment.
    2) Downstairs is an Airport Express. I is a "n" version
    3) Connected to the Airport Express via ethernet is a small ethernet hub and connected to that are 2 Dishnetwork 722 DVRs. Each 722 has a Sling Adapter to allow viewing the contents over the internet via iPhone, iPad or web browser. This was the goal for the Express, to supply that info.
    Getting max speed out of this Express is important to get the DVRs output out of my house and to my iPad or iPhone.
    4) These are the following devices that are connecting at the house via wifi:
    a) iPhone 4
    b) iPhone 3g
    c) Apple TV newest model and is downstairs next to the Airport Express
    d) iPad
    e) Macbook Air first generation and this is used downstairs in the same room as the Airport Express
    Using Airport Utility it appears that all devices show 80211.n and 5ghz except the iphone 3G, which shows 802.11 b/g AND shows it attached to the Airport Express even when I'm next to the Extreme.
    From the Airport Utility, I've seen the values fluctuate but here is what shows Signal, Rate and Noise for each device as a snapshot on the Airport Extreme
    iPhone 4 -44, -96, 65
    Airport Express -59, -96, 144
    Apple TV -70, -96, 52
    iPad -50, -96, 65
    Macbook Air -24, -96, 216
    Using the Airport Utility, the Airport express show these values
    iPhone 3G -66, -85, 54
    Airport Extreme -54, -86 104
    Let me know if you need any other details.

    Any advice on the best Airport Utility settings for the Extreme and the Express?
    The default settings work very well, so unless you have a specific reason to change them, I would stay with those settings
    Should the Express extend a network or join a network?
    "Extend" provides more wireless coverage in the area where the Express is located. "Join" provides better bandwidth if you are using only for iTunes, etc. Most users want more wireless coverage.
    If I were to extend at network, should the Express extend to the 5ghz or the 2.4ghz
    If you have good signal strength at the location of the Express, 5 GHz will support up to 270 Mbps bandwidth. 2.4 GHz will support up to 130 Mbps. You want as much bandwidth as you can get for high definition video performance if you are using wireless. If you have an option to connect the DVRs using ethernet, that will provide the best performance.
    The iPhone would have to connect back to your main router if you set the Express up for 5 GHz. It is not easy to extend 5 GHz. You literally have to have very close to a line of sight situation between the main router and the Express for this to work.
    If I were to get another Extreme, should it join or extend the network on the Extreme upstairs.
    The Extreme does not really do anything if you set it up to "join". The ethernet ports are not active. All you would be able to do with the device in this setting is attach a printer or hard drive to the USB port.
    Any documents that would explain the best choices for linking 2 Extremes together?
    Apple AirPort Networks is a very good guide.
    If you are linking two routers together, an ethernet connection is always the "best" way to do this because it provides maximum bandwidth performance. Up to 1000Mbps with ethernet. "Extending" using wireless only can work well if the "extending" AirPort receives a very strong wireless signal. Ideally, there would be a line-of-sight situation between the devices or close to that ideal.

  • Best setting for compressor-JVC Everio Hard Disc Camcorder Quicktime file?

    Hi,
    I am still having trouble figuring out why compressor is taking so long. Maybe I need to call Apple Support. I tried the web source setting-medium quality, but it is still taking 4+ hours, and continues to increase in length till completion. It is imported from fcp quicktime movie. What is the best setting to use ?#Agghh this is frustrating. I only want to upload this onto a file share web data base system, I don't even need to burn it to a DVD. Should I choose the H 2.6.. for iPod, the web source setting, or something else? These are just 1 hour/ 1 1/2 hour movies that fit on a 4.7 GB DVD before I imported them into fcp>now the fcp file has expanded up to 69GB. What is the deal? I re-installed fc studio. Any suggestions?

    If a file from a DVD is now 69 GB then it must have been converted along the way from the original DVD.
    How are you importing? What are the specs of the file? What is your work flow process?

  • Best Setting for Export

    I am trying to figure out what setting I should use to export a movie using Export to Quicktime Movie. I want the best resolution for display on any type of TV. Most of the footage is 16x9 / 480P. What will give me the maximum quality? Thanks for the help!

    You cannot add quality using an export or conversion.

  • Best setting for 1080i HD

    I've been looking around on the web for a while now looking for the best solution to output my project for HD.  I create commercials for a local TV station and we just started broadcasting HD commercials.  What is the best setting to use when rendering?  We transfer spots directly into a server for airing so it doesn't need to be compressed and put to other media first.  Any help is appreciated!

    We transfer spots directly into a server for airing so it doesn't need to be compressed and put to other media first.
    But it is being compressed when sent, so ultimately there is little point in insisting doing it uncompressed in any way. Most HD broadcast's are MPEG-2 transport streams, some MPEG-4/ H.264, but which ones depends on the hardware the station uses. Anyway, most of these transcoders/ encoders will gladly swallow native MXF/ P2 files, MPEG-2 program streams or H.264 and be smart enough to merely conform/ transcode it without adding anotehr destructive compression pass. So, given you use sufficient dat rates, it should be safe to use any of those formats. Everything else is surely written somewhere in the encoder box' manual, so you may get better answers from the techs of the station.

  • Best setting for slideshow

    Whats the best setting to set a slideshow of still pictures too, im not sure which compression type either, ive made a few before thru iMovie but id like to use quicktime pro and change screen size (320X240 if possible) for the web, and trying to make it the smallest file size as i can. Any help would be appreciated.
    I should say im exporting the iMovie file (saved as, for the web setting in iMovie) to change the screen size in quicktime 7.0.4 if anyone needs that info

    Actually you're in the wrong forum and should re-post here. https://discussions.apple.com/community/professional_applications/final_cut_stud io
    Nonetheless, I'll just pass on these comments about slide shows – FWIW.
    My preference is to edit then in a 720p timeline. I find they scale down better from 720 than from 1080 – fewer artifacts, especially when doing pans and zooms. And often these are going to DVD, which means considerable additional down scaling.
    Size them in PS (or the editor of your choice) the same as your sequence settings. If you do have moves (pans zooms) then double the size (ie, 2160X1440).
    Good luck.

  • Best setting for Canon VIXIA HF R21 for YouTube

    I am looking for the best or most optimal setting for shooting video with my Canon VIXIA HF R21 camera.
    I am using a MacBook Pro laptop and Adobe Premiere Elements 10.
    My goal is to produce the best quality videos for a "YouTube" channel. The videos will be for a teenage car show shot outdoors and narrated.
    The current DEFAULT settings are:
    Recording Mode = SP, 1440x1080
    Bitrate = 7Mbps
    Codec = MPEG4-AVC/H.264
    Frame Rate = 60i
    Digital Image stabilization = standard
    Here are possible "alternative selections" - please let me know if any of these settings are better than the Default settings for YouTube.
    Change Recording Mode to
    1. MXP = 1920x1080 @ 24Mbps
    2. FXP = 1920x1080 @ 17Mbps
    3. XP+ = 1440x1080 @ 12 Mbps
    Change Frame Rate to
    1. PF30
    Digital image stabilization
    1. Dynamic
    2. Standard
    3. Off
    I will use Adobe Premiere Elemebnts 10 to upload the final edited video - what setting are the best upload compression settings if I want to upload for the ebst quality?

    BillFlorida, I'm not sure what you're not getting here. Have you tried any of the things we've suggested?
    There are two settings you need to worry about. One is your PROJECT setting. That must match your original footage, as I've indicated. If it doesn't, you're going to get poor performance and video quality.
    The second setting is your OUTPUT setting. That's the only setting YouTube is interested in. If you use the output settings I linked you to above -- working from a project that's been set up properly -- you will get excellent YouTube results.
    Try it. You'll see.
    You'll also see, if you experiment a bit, that there's virtually no difference in the quality of FXP and MXP -- especially if you're going to display your video online. The important thing is that your PROJECT settings match that 1920x1080 AVCHD footage and that you use the YouTube output settings recommended in the FAQs.
    Try it. You will see.
