Can iMovie transform .avi for web use by Vista user?

My digital camera takes some movies and saves them in the .avi filetype. I have no idea what that even means. I tried using iMovie 4.0.1 to make it smaller so I could post it to my website. It saved it as a .mov filetype. My friend doesn't have QT player installed (and won't since he has Vista PC). So is there any other format I could save it as with iMovie so he can see it with whatever comes preloaded on a new Vista PC? Thanks!
(Yes, I know just about nothing about digital movies.)

.. Yes, I know just about nothing about digital movies..
given that, you have two options...:
1) in your export (share) dialog, select expert settings, hit the blue button, and select from the following dialog '.avi'...:
... but: avi is very little supported on Macs, you can NOT choose a smaller 'size (=resolution), and you're offered only antique 'cinepak' as compression-option = large files...
2) purchase at www.flip4mac.com a licence for the wmv-export plug-in... make sure, your setup of hard- and software is supported! read the specs, load a trial.
with that plug-in you're allowed to export as .wmv, Window's own, popular video format...

  • Changing file size for web use - multiple images

    My most recent iPhoto event consists of 45 pictures, most of which are 1 MB or larger. I want to scale them down a bit for web use.
    I do understand how the export command works. If I want to change all 45 pictures at once (select all), where should I export them to, and then what is the procedure to get them back into iPhoto? I would really like them to all show up as a new event in iPhoto (same pictures as the original event, only smaller file sizes).
    Am I overlooking some easy way to do this?

    No you’re not overlooking an easy way to do it.
    Export them to a Folder on the desktop and then import them.
    However, why are you keeping these web versions? The more efficient use of disk space would be to upload them then trash them. If you need other versions in the future you can re-do them. Not a lot to be gained by holding on to them, is there?

  • What steps do I take to edit raw files and save for web use, such as Instagram, Facebook, Websites, and emailing?

    What Steps do I take to edit raw files and save for web use, such as Instagram, Facebook, Websites, and emailing?

    When you open a raw file it will open in Adobe camera raw. That is where you can do most of the editing. Then it will be placed inside Photoshop where you can do more if needed.
    Now you can use the save for web dialog to export your image as a png or jpg to use on those sites.

  • Resize a Document for web Use

    I looked online on how to reduce file size od an .fla file for use on the web but not very clear. I have an .FLA file that is 800X600 px.  when I publish it, I reduce file size, audio to mono etc, and I am getting 1.8mb file, way to large for web use. I tried an swf and flv file but same results. I need to reduce the entire document. I read to use the onion skin the highlight everything then resize but I have over 5,000 frames in my movie. Can someone explain in detail, how to highlight all of the frames in the movie, and then reduce the file to say 400 X 300 px? I am able to drag the onion skin but only to the edge of the viewable document then I must scroll over and repeat the process. there must be an easier way to highlight all frames in the movie then resize the whole thing. Any help would be appreciated.

    I do not think you understand the question. Here is an answer I got off another forum but do not quite understand how to implement.
    If you want to resize everything, a quicker way would be to select all frames (select the onion skin tool) and then resize everything to fit the new canvas size. That way, every frame of your animation will be reduced at once.
    Kglad,
       Does that make sense? How do you get the onion skin to select every frame in the animation?

  • Prep for Web use

    Does anyone know where I can get info on web streaming, conversion for web use of FCP files or files submitted by clients. Conversion of PC files to mac and back for the above purposes.
    Thanks

    Welcome to the family.
    The FCP manual and the compressor manual are chuck full of'that stuff although I assume you do not own FCP or you would not be asking this question. You would have opened the index first.
    Start with google (or your favorite competitor) and look for encoding and transcoding.
    There are probably 1,000 excellent sites on the Web devoted to various products and practices and advice for users.
    Amazon will show you fifteen or twenty great books on the subject. You will need several because the science keeps changing and the craft is actually quite difficult.

  • Can I create books for iPhone using iBooks Author?

    Can I create books for iPhone using iBooks Author?

    There is a new $5 iBooks Creator app in iOS app store for the iPad.
    The output looked pretty good for an iPad app.
    There is a video on how to use it to give you an idea of how easy it is.
    It creates ePub 2 whihc can be read on all platforms with an ePub reader except Amazon Kindle whihc forbids such things.
    You can run the ePub through Calibre and get MOIB for Kindle which works for me.
    I have done thirty or forty conversions so far.

  • Trouble outputting for web use

    I have had various problems outputting documents to Jpegs for use on a webpage. I am exporting at the standard res of 72 ppi but find the quality unacceptable when I import these into i-web. Could this have something to do with the resolution certain images were scanned or imported at? Also the text is not reproduced as crisp as expected.
    I am a bit of a novice in terms of Indesign so there may be an obvious solution that I haven't considered. Any help would be gratefully recieved.
    Thanks

    Hi Bob,
    Thanks for your help so far. I've tried exporting the PDF then converting to JPG in PS but the image quality appears to be worse than ever! Not sure if the settings I used for PDF where suitable for web use. Any ideas on how to maximise quality, maintaining crispness of fonts?
    Thanks

    Export a PDF of the page you want to rasterize and open the PDF in Photoshop using the appropriate settings there. Save as JPG.

  • Why can't I save for web in a specific folder using actions?

    I cannot for the life of me figure out how to save in a specific folder desitnations when using Actions and Saving For Web with CS6 PS for Windows. It ALWAYS defaults to last folder used. I am not Batch Processing, just using Actions on one image at a time. I have 3 of these actions. Action one is for "Thumbnail" folder, Action two is for "Full" folder, and Action three is for "Large" folder. All these actions are doing is saving for web into these folders (path displays correctly in Action script). HOWEVER after I successfully  use Action one and save into the Thumbnail folder and move on to Action 2, it wants to save back into Thumbnail AND NOT into Full folder. In short I now have 3 actions saving to the same folder even though my recording designated 3 different locations. HELP!

    Ok...I switched to my home Mac and was having similar issues with the toggle Save for Web window on. Saving to same folder even in Mac OS. Tried your way by keeping toggle off and it worked, saving diff images to different folders. I guess I have to figure a work around for the naming conventions however. My original is a 5 digit number lets say 11111.jpg. When I duplicate / use a sizing action I get two additional photos named 11111 copy.jpg.  That is why I kept toggle window on in CS3 so I could simply paste the 11111 name back in the dialogue window so I'd have three diff size photos in three diff folders named 11111.jpg.
    These steps might seem super basic but I do these steps for a website all day everyday three months straight without issue and I guess I have to adjust. I usually use orignal photos and have to rename.  Is there a way to Duplicate images as the same 11111.jpg instead of 11111 copy.jpg? That way I can just rename the photo at the beginning (red_flower_000ddafjdflj to 11111.jpg) and not use toggle (or rename at all).

  • Work Flow - FCE to QT then compress and convert to AVI for web upload

    I am creating movie clips that will be 5 to 10 min in length to be streamed on my website. At the current time, my CMS (content management system) for the web cannot accept H.264 (MP4) files, but can accept FLV, AVI and WMV. So, given this constraint, my workflow has been:
    1) export from FCE to QT as self contained movie (Large HD files some up to 10GB)
    2) compress down to a web usable size (maybe 180MB or so) at 640 X 480 using Elgato Turbo H.264 (however it only converts to .MP4 format)
    3) use MPEG Streamslip to convert the compressed file from MP4 to AVI file
    4) upload to web
    My problem is that I seem to lose quality when converting from MP4 to AVI. Can anyone improve on this workflow or recommend products that might make this process and improve the quality of the final product?
    I am still searching the forum, but only finding bits and pieces and not the full picture for my problem.
    Thank you.

    After doing this a few times, I remember why I was using Elgato...it is very fast and the quality is really good. MPEG Streamslip is almost as fast but slightly lacking in the quality. Still, it is really good. I just need to select the best output from Streamslip for the best quality.

  • How can I batch Save For Web and maintain a multilevel folder structure?

    First... I am using an old version of Photoshop.... 6.0 to be exact.  If your answer is to buy the newer versions, I respectfully say I know that's AN answer, but I'm looking for something that will work with my setup.  The version we have works just fine for the very few things we need it for, and we use new versions of InDesign and Acrobat for all else. 
    So here's the challenge:
    We have a weekly magazine featuring 1,200 plus photos of cars for sale, each saved in a folder named for the sales rep, week and day.  I must maintain these folder structure throughout the process, as the files names are duplicated by cameras and across reps.  So I cannot dump all batch converted pics into one single folder, yet I need to reduce the Quality setting which I find when completing a Save As in Photoshop.
    So I want to batch convert all the photos in multiple folders, some 3 folders deep, all at once....  reduce to 8 inches across, change to 72dpi, and reduce the quality slider to 5, which creates a nice 60-90K file.  BUT.... it wants to save all of them in a particular folder.  I need to just overwrite the original file with the new smaller one.... or save the new small version into the same folder the big one is in, but have it work with the "include all sub-folders" option in batch. 
    A sample File system .... 4513 Photos - Color <day of week> (3 folders) - <disk number><rep>Color (20 folders) - actual photos.
    After converting, we push up the final level of folder to our website and that organization allows us to use them there the way we need.  The uploading to the site and batch functions are done 3 to 4 times per week.... on different days.
    Is there a way to reduce the quality (compression) of the jpgs that does not require the creation of a new file in a particular folder, or is there a way to have the resulting file just drop back into the folders and subfolders during a batch function?  I just can't figure this out!
    As an alternative, what other programs might do this?

    You should be able to just use the html output of the Export for Web function and, if the video's converted correctly, just swap the file names at the appropriate places. Have you tried renaming VisualHub's output to what the Export for Web html wants, then placing it in the proper location?
    I'm not aware of a way to batch create the html files, but if I had to, I'd probably look at automator to see if I could figure out it's text manipulation options.
