Best settings to export for the web?

Hey everyone,
What do you think is the best setting to export video to web? I export now using quicktime and once in a while (I would like to use it more often since its much easier) compressor. So what is the best settings to export video to the web without having it get all blurry? I also use an XL2 so the video is good.

JB
but I'm concerned about whether H264 is accessible by an audience outside the Mac umbrella.
They need QT7 installed.
You can get Flip4Mac and add WMV export capabilities to QT. I'm sure that with a little of experimentation you'll get good results and the needed component isn't expensive.
Hope that helps !

  • Export for the web fails

    I am using QT 7.5.5 and keep hitting the same problem trying to export for the web - to make a movie for the iPod - I get the Error message "Export Failed - the operation could not be completed". As with other people I resort to MPeg Streamclip or Compressor but I really liked the ease that this command gave, three different size movies in a folder. Very neat but now, Fail and no explanation.
    I've tried different size movies and different types or formats too; all fail.

    I'm running QT 7.6.4, and am experiencing a QT issue I can't resolve. Have exported from FCE (settings: best quality, H.264, 720x486 4:3 NTSC). Movie plays fine in QT, but when I use the Export for Web setting, the Desktop version terminates with a"failed export process terminated unexpectedly (11)" message. (iPhone version continues w/no problems.)
    I've used these same settings many times and never had a problem. I've tried re-exporting older QT files and they still work, so I'm guessing there's something corrupted in this file...but I've re-exported it from FCE and still same issue.
    I've tried this on two different Macs...repaired permissions on both...still no love. I've trolled the web for solutions, none found.
    Any input welcome. Thanks.

  • HDV Aspect Ratio and Exporting For the Web

    INTRODUCTION
    I am trying to export an HDV video for the first time and have managed to confuse myself. I want to upload it to blip.tv and they transcoded videos into Flash with 4:3 aspect ratio. But more than that, I want to understand how this all works so I don't have to guess about the settings that will give me what I want.
    BACKGROUND DATA
    4/3 is 1.333...
    16/9 is 1.777...
    1440/1080 is 1.333... (if the pixels are square)
    1920/1080 is 1.777... (if the pixels are square)
    In FCP my clip format says:
    Frame Size: 1440 x 1080
    Pixel Aspect: HD (1440 x 1080) (Does this mean the pixels are 1.333... times wider than it is high?)
    EXPORT USING QUICKTIME CONVERSION
    When I go to export this clip using Quicktime Conversion under the Options... Size... dialog and look at the Dimensions dropdown, (I assume this is the dimensions of the exported video. Is that correct?)
    Some of the settings are (the settings are in quotes, my notes are in parentheses.):
    "HD 1440 x 1080 16:9" (if pixels are square this is 4/3)
    "HD 1920 X 1080 16:9" (if pixels are square this is 16/9)
    So both of these settings claim to be 16:9 but they both can't be true unless they have different pixel aspect ratios (which I find hard to believe). This makes me think I don't really know what they mean when they notate something as 16:9. Can anyone give a definition that will help me here?
    EXPORTING FOR THE WEB
    Using FCS2, what settings should I use to export this clip undistorted for the web (with letterbox if needed)?
    Thanks for the help,
    Rob:-]

    What I find with HDV 16x9 1440x1080 footage, is that when you output for the web you have to hard code the size you want the result to be. 320x180 or 640x360 for example scale things nicely. If you want bigger, just do the math.
    I don't know why but whenever I select a predefined output size, it always screws it up (I don't work with 4:3 ever, so I'm speaking only of 16x9). So I always enter the size I want.
    And as far as Compressor 3, I really can't get that to set the size I want correctly either. Mostly its due to me being lazy and not wanting to spend a year reading the Compressor manual. A package that should basically have the easiest interface known to man is now so complicated that unless I have to hand-holding tutorial, or get to drag/drop one of their presets, I end up screwing things up with it. Not to mention that you get to wait for hours just to see how you screwed up the settings of your output.

  • What are the best settings to use for the newest AirPort Extreme (AC wifi) with my optimum online service provider?

    I have the current generation of the AirPort Extreme and a handful of devices that utilize the new 5Ghz A/C frequency. My internet speeds were blazing fast when I had first set it up but lately it has been lagging terribly. I was told that changing my dhcp did help, which it did it seems like it might be back to its normal speeds but I just want to know what are the best settings to configure for the airport so that I can get the most out of my service on all my devices? I'm using a CAT 6 cable which does help, I have a guest wifi setup with a wifi password which I understand will slow it down a little. Can anyone just point me in the right direction or just give me a step by step guide on what settings to configure? Should I really consider turning off the guest network?

    I am assuming that you are looking to configure your network to provide the highest level of bandwidth possible for your network clients. If that is the case, the following are a few things to consider:
    The Internet modem should support Gigabit Ethernet. That is the Ethernet connection between the modem and your 802.11ac AirPort Extreme should be Gigabit Ethernet.
    Use CAT-5e or CAT-6 Ethernet cables between all wired connections.
    Only expect 802.11ac performance with 802.11ac clients in the same room as the base station.
    Eliminate or significantly reduce any forms of Wi-Fi interference on both the 2.4 & 5 GHz bands.
    When streaming, especially HD video on your local network, use wired connections between the host and player devices when possible.
    Other than the above suggestions there are no "magic" settings that you can make on your AirPort. Note: The Guest network shares the same bandwidth as the "main" network. Unless you have a network goal to provide this type of network, it is best left disabled.

  • Export for the Web and File Naming : Batch problem in Photoshop CC

    Is it possible to use "File Naming" when you are using in a batch "Save for the Web" export ?
    What I want to do:
    I have images that I need to resize, crop and rename (change "filename.jpg" to "filename_850x490.jpg" and make an optimisation for the web
    I want to create an action that I can use in a batch
    What is working :
    I can use my action (resize, crop, save) and use file renaming option if I use "save as" options
    I can use my action (resize, crop, save for the web ...) but the file renaming option are not use at the export,
           So I have to create two actions (one for resize, crop and rename and an other to compress images with "save for the web"
    ==> What's wrong with "File rename" and "save for the web"?
    Thank You for support !
    My Environement :
    Photoshop CC : last update
    OS : Windows 8 Entreprise - 64 bits
    Proc : Intel Xeon CPU E5 3.00 GHz - Ram : 8 GB - GPU : AMD FirePro V5900 (FireGL V)

    Probably a lot easier if you use the Image Processor Pro script

  • HD Exporting for the Web

    I am using FCP 6.0.4 currently and I would like to find a way to export a HD movie(720p) that will look as good as it does on my computer as it would onthe web. I'm a youth minister and would like to film some of our events and then post them in HD on our website. I wasn't sure what type of settings would give me the best picture and how I would go about doing that. Any info would be greatly appreciated! Thanks,Matt

    H.264. Look in Compressor at the QUicktime 7 Settings.

  • Exporting for the web from FCP 6

    Hi. I have a 20-minute long sequence in FCP6 and I need to export it so I can send it to someone via YouSendIt. What is the best way to do this so that I end up with a file that is less than 100 mb?
    Thanks,
    Andy

    You need to give us more information.  What are your sequence settings? 
    But generally, I'd recommend exporting with current settings (file:  export:  quicktime move NOT quicktime conversion) and bring the resulting file into compressor and use the apple:  otherworkflows:  web:  download:  quicktime 7 compatible:  LAN or 800 kbs preset  (or someting like this, I'm not on my editing system).  When you apply it to your file, you'll get an estimated file size in the summary paenl of the inspector.
    One thing to do in compressor is to turn frame controls on in the frame controls panel and make sure the resize filter is set to best.   This will increase the processing time, but improve quality.

  • Exporting for the web

    ok I'll keep it simple.
    I want the 6 minute quicktime movie file for my iweb site to include:
    H.264 codec
    320X240 res
    around 800kbit data rate
    AAC audio
    I know how to set all those, but my BIG ISSUE is: I don't want the file to be streaming, and I want the file to download to the viewers computer, but I want the viewer to be able to see the video and watch it as it downloads. Does that make sense? If so, how do I do that in the options of quicktime?

    the compressor preset doesn't change the browser/html behavior. When the browser plays it, the "download" goes to a temp file. If you actually have the browser download the file, it goes to the desktop (apple default)

  • Exporting widescreen anamorphic video for the web

    I have a project in fce which is filmed in widescreen anamorphic at 720, 576 the setup in fce is dv-pal anamorphic and anamorphic is checked in item properties. When I export using quicktime using h.264 encoder it shows at as widescreen in the preview but when I open it after export it is squashed. I know that is because it is anamorphic but how can i export for the web and get the correct image? If I was doing full scale I could just change the resolution from 720 to 1024 but what if I want to do lower resoultion is there a better way? Thanks.

    WMA is Windows Media Audio. I think what you meant is WMV (Windows Media Video). To export to that format on a Mac you'll need Flip4ac, available from www.flip4mac.com Once you've installed it, it adds the WMV and WMA export option to QT and other apps such as Sorenson Squeeze.

  • Why can't font graphics for the web be created with sophisticated "hinting" in Photoshop?

    It seems when a font is generated as a web graphic -- either a GIF or a high quality JPEG -- it never looks as clean as live fonts in HTML? I've been researching fonts a bit, and apparently they come with built-in "hinting" that makes them appear better on screen. But if you set the same type in Photoshop or Illustrator and export for the web, it's blurrier and never as good. Is there a way around that?

  • What are BEST settings for the WEB?

    Hello, I have a short in RED Hd 1920/1080 finished on FCP 6. I made a QT and then used compressor to make a 800mbps Quicktime for the web, deinterlaced and checked BETTER tab, others stayed with regular.
    I also made one through FCP into a QT in 640/480 which is size I need.
    On the web it looks clear and plays fine. Problem is when there is motion or
    lots of movement, it stops and goes, jitters like ****, not smooth all.
    What settings are best to make it SMOOOTH, just like when watching it on computer or as best. I know you got much bigger things to talk about but if you know please let me know.
    H.264, Mpeg4 or Sorenson ect...just looking for smooth as can get it for playing on web.
    THANKS.

    800mbps Quicktime for the web,< </div>
    The compression is reducing the number of pixels being shown in order to maintain the bitrate. So rapid motion, which requires nearly all of the pixels to be redrawn, causes things to stutter.
    Compression is really, really hard to do. Really.

  • Best way to save HQ video for the web?

    What´s the best settings for great video-quality for the web?
    I have a 5 min long clip I´d like to put on my website.
    I would like it to be 480x360 and with good quality. It´s ok if the file gets 30-40 MB.
    I have tryed the Expert Settings, Quicktime Movie, Broadband - High, but the movie gets "striped".
    What´s wrong?
    A lot Mac OS X (10.4.8)

    Hi Magnus40,
    I'm not sure what you are doing to create this problem. I create web movies all the time and have never had this problem, although, I never use the advanced settings cos I have never had to. When you go to the Quicktime export pane in iMovie you have the quality choices from full quality to web. When you select one of these it gives an estimate of the file size. For that length clip you should not need to use any setting besides full quality. I'd say the problem is coming from the 480x360 aspect ratio. This is what is compressing the file. Have you tried exporting it as full quality and then uploading it? The only problem you face by doing this is, it will take a long time for the movie to load on your website. For a short clip you may find that the CD ROM setting is sufficient.
    Good luck.

  • Exporting FCP 16:9 to QT for the web in 16:9?

    Hello everyone,
    I recently began doing my projects in 16:9 mode. I shoot them with my GL2's in 16:9, then capture to FCP as usual. FCP then automatically recognizes the 16:9 footage and adjusts everything perfectly for me. I figured out how to get the footage to DVDSP by 'forcing letterbox'. This plays the true 16:9 footage on a widescreen TV perfectly.
    Now, I've come to another bridge that I can't seem to cross... that is... exporting the video to QT for the web in 16:9. I did a lot of searching here and all of the topics related to this did not help me at all. So, what I'm going to do is explain what I used to do when I shot in 4:3 mode:
    1. In FCP... File>Export>QT Conversion
    2. Format: QT Movie> Options
    3. Settings> Sorenson Video 3
    4. Frame Rate>15
    5. Key Frames: Every 150 frames
    6. Compressor> Medium
    7. Data Rate: Automatic
    8. OK
    9. Sound>Settings>Mpeg-4 Audio, 16bit, Stereo
    10. OK
    11. Prepare for Internet Streaming> Fast Start
    12. OK
    13. SAVE
    This usually turns a full sized 5 minute clip into a nice little presentation for the web no larger than 35 or so MB's. You can see a boat load of files like that on my website at (www.buerhausdesign.com).
    Now, what I want to do is get a similar sized video for the web, only in 16:9 as I'm now shooting and editing in 16:9.
    Does anyone have step-by-step instructions on how to do this? I know it's possible as I see movie trailors in 16:9 all the time in QT.
    Any help would be appreciated:)
    Matt

    Nope, tried all of that. It stretches the image way beyond 16:9. Currently, if I export as a 4:3 file, the widescreen displays correctly, but I get two black bars at the top and bottom of the frame. Manually sizing to a 16:9 size, to say 720x404, stretches everything... including the unwanted black bars.
    When I export to DVDSP, the black bars go away when I 'force letterbox'. There's gotta be a way to get it to work in QT.

  • InDesign / Best way to export for Web?

    Hi guys,
    I did an A2 (large size) poster and now i need to have the very same image for Web Mailing on Internet. I guess it will be a 650 pixeles by 800 px.
    Which is the best way to export this content for Internet? 
    1) I notice that if i save the InDesign file to PDF even in the lowest quality the small text keeps crisp and clear while the file is very small size. Unfortunately PDF cannot be used -i think- as embedded images into a mailing list.
    2) If i export the very same InDesign file at the highest posible resolution as JPG -a traditional Internet image standard- the text is blurred and not well defined, besides the file is quite large.
    3) Should i exported to PDF and then open in Photoshop and "Save for the Web" as JPG? Maybe Photoshop has a better exporting engine when regarding to images than InDesign...i don't know.
    How can i find a way to have well defined crisp and clear text, small size and image? I am not sure i could use PDF format here.
    Any help or ideas? that would be great
    Thanks,
    S

    Thanks for the tip!
    I am sorry i forgot to say i have an A2 and an A3 size poster version. I used the A3 poster and the 650 pixeles poster for Internet actually turn out to be quite readable. I used quite large fonts size in the original design, a bit of a Swiss or Constructivism style poster.
    Cheers
