Compositing for TV vs. the web

Hello all,
Since I am a self taught AE user, there are some areas which I'm not to sure about.
I was reading a course outline for an Intermediate AE class and they mentioned teaching compositing for the TV vs. for the Web.
Can anyone explain the difference.
Using CS4 on a Mac
Thanks in advance.

The big difference: TV has restrictions on the brightness, darkness and color saturation of an image.  That's because TV sets (including video monitors) don't work the same as computer monitors.  To be immediately deliverable for TV, an AE Practitioner has to keep these differences in mind.  Digital HD broadcasting has eased the limitations a bit, but not entirely.
You may have read about AE users' confusion over using color profiles.  Now, applying a color profile is NOT the same thing as policing luma and chroma: not in the least.  But at least it may give you the notion that doing stuff for TV would be something other than business as usual for a web guy using AE.
And here's the fun part: because broadcasters don't use a standard set of equipment, the delivery requirements for an AE practitioner can vary if he/she delivers to various broadcasters. 
So as a guy who works at a TV station, I'm thinkin' such a course could save a web guy a lot of grief.

    Hello All...
    Back after a brief absence, things look a little bit different.
    I'm trying to take a 16 minute mini dv video and compress it for use on the web. I'm interested in any suggestions you may have on settings for the video and audio tracks. I've tried using Sorenson 3 (15 frames, key frames set to automatic, 320 x 240) for video and IMA 4:1 (mono) for audio. The resulting video looked great but the file size came in at about 255 Mb.
    Thanks!

    Thank you for the replies.  Everyone was correct about the jack, interface, and phasing problems.  I have been unplugging my motu audio interface and then using headphones at work.  I have not changed any detailed audio output settings in logic.  When I read that the jack might be a problem I tried switching headphones.  This actually helped.  I am using dre-beats headphones and they seem to be having issues with the mac/jack-(the phasing/panning problems.  I can use these headphones with other devices but not the mac.  I have to use ipod ear buds and the phasing seems fixed.  Hopefully this information is helpful to someone else. 
    If anyone knows how to correct this issue please let me know its difficult to know what my final mixes are going to sound like and I have had to keep bouncing everything into i-tunes- sync to ipod and then listen in my car radio.

    Hi, I have had an LG Octane for 4 years and loved it. I used it for email, surfing the web and facebook. But 6 weeks ago I stopped getting text messages, I could send but not receive.  I was told it was just worn out.  So I ordered another Octane from ebay, and it wouldn't connect to the internet. I was told by Verizon that the software had been changed.  So I ordered a NEW in Box Octane and I am having trouble with that too. Bing won't work, nothing will work that will enable me to download Verizon Opera mini that still works on my old phone. I have a smart phone with another number but I LOVE the Octane for daily use. Why will my old Octane work but I can't get a NEW one to.  Verizon guys are stumped too:( Please help!!  Thanks!

    Why start a new and very similar thread to your other one which you have not responded to (have you read the replies?)

  • Structure inDesign document and export as XML for use in the web

    Hello everyone,
    I just recently started using inDesign and I am fascinated by its possibilities! I use it for a project where a finished inDesign layout that is used for a printed publication is now supposed to be transformed for implementing it on a web site. My job is to export the inDesign document as an XML file. After massive reading the last weeks I'm quite familiar with the structuring and tagging in inDesign. Though there's some issues I do not understand. Your precious advice would be of highest meaning to me
    The programmer who will later use my XML output for the web-transformation needs the document structured in different levels like "Root > Chapter > Subchapter > Text passage / table". I already structured the document with tags like title, text passage, table, infobox,... but the structure is just linear, putting one item following to another.
    How can I structure the document with reoccuring tags that enable me to identify the exact position of an item in the document's structure? So that I can say for example "text passage X" is located in chapter 4, subchapter 1. This has to be done because the document is supposed to be updated later on. So maybe a chapter gets modified and has to be replaced, but this replacement is supposed to be displayed.
    I hope my problem becomes clear! That's my biggest issue for now. So for any help I'd be very thankful!

    Our print publications are created in InDesign CS5 for Mac then the text is exported to RTF files then sent to an outside company to be converted to our XML specifications for use by our website developers.  I would like to create a workflow in which our XML tags are included in the InDesign layouts and then export the XML from the layouts.
    Some more detail about what kind of formatting is necessary might be helpful.
    I know that IDML files contain the entire layout in XML format.  Is it a good idea to extract what we need from IDML, using the already-assigned tags?
    Well, if you want to export the whole document, it's the only reasonable approach.
    We use a workflow system such that each story is a seperate InCopy document, stored in ICML format (Basically a subset of IDML). Our web automation uses XSLT to convert each story into HTML for use on our web site; it also matches it up with external metadata so it knows what is a headline and what is not, etc.. It is not exactly hassle free, and every once in a while someone uses a new InDesign feature that breaks things (e.g., our XSLT has no support for paragraph numbering, so numbered paragraphs show up without their numbers).
    You could do the same thing with with IDML, you'd just have to pick out each story, but that's small potatoes compared to all the XSL work you're going to have to do.
    On the other hand, there may be better approaches if you're not going to export the whole document. For instance,  you could use scripting to export each story as an RTF file, and then you could convert the RTF files into HTML using other tools.

  • Search for documents in the web UI

    We have created a new work center Z_CM which enables application component "CRM-IC-ARD", with a view "ICCMP_CM/CMSearch".
    This view should incoporate the standard functionality, but I can't search for document descriptions.
    Should I use our TREX, enterprise search? How do I enable document search in the web UI. I have not been able to find any documentation about this.
    So do anyone have some info on this topic?

    Hei,
    We are having the same problem with the document search as you used to have. Can you please tell me how you solved it?
    Thanks a lot.

  • What is the best video format to export to for use on the web?

    I am looking for a quick anawer.  What is the best format and size setting to use to export a video for use on a web page (I am using DreamWeaver to develop my web site and FCX to creat the movie).  I like the size and quality of the opening video on the Apple home page if anyone knows what that is.

    Use the  http streamimg preset so the movie will be compatible with a range of different devices.

  • What is the Best HD Program for FLASH on the web

    I am looking for the BEST HD Video crunching software for hanging HD video on the web. Sorenson Squeeze 5.0?? Visual Hub?? Not using FULL HD, smaller than that because I can not capture FULL HD in FCP without too many obstacles and third party software. I will be exporting my HD as a QT MOVIE. I need a program to crunch that and still retain the best possible quality. Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated.

    you can also just encode to H.264 with the proper audio settings, and change the extension to .flv. Flash video players from version 9 up (if there is an up...) handle H.264 and AAC audio.

  • Building slideshows for emailing and the web.  ie. compressing, max file si

    I need to build a slide show for work with music and wish to email it as well as post it on my website. First, do you recommend using the full size files when building the slide show or resizing them first to help with the compression later. Second, after building the slide show should I export it to imovie and then to quicktime where I can compress it or do you recommend any third party applications? Most important is to use as many images as possible, add music, keep the quality as high as possible and then be able to send it over the web.
    Any suggestions would be great,
    Thanks!!!

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    1. No matter what app or format you use if you want to
    keep the quality as high as possible
    you're going to have a large movie file - very likely too large to email.
    2. iPhoto has a limited enough ability to make slideshows that are cut to music. You can make the entire thing in iMovie or in an app such as PhotoToMovie or Final Cut Express. All of these have greater export options than iPhoto. Here's an example of such a thing made in Final Cut Express: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gpIdFcoYsss. The file was exported at HD quality and compressed by YouTube. If Final Cut is beyond your budget then my next choice would be PhotoToMovie.
    3. Don't compress the files in any way until exporting as a movie, you're only adding to the damage.

  • Firefox 5 Searching for images on the web is much slower than opera and my previous Firefox version. Can I turn off the useless zoom thing when I hover over an image for a few seconds?

    OK, what I want to do is search for images with Google or similar search engine. This was fine in my previous FF version. The images just loaded as thumbnails, all the same size and I had to click on one to open it in a new tab or whatever I wanted to do. Now the images load all different sizes and if I hover for a moment over on, it zooms in a bit and gives me some image details. This slows image searching to the point of being very frustrating. I thought this might be a Google things, so tried other search engines. Tried switching Javascript off to speed things up, just blank grey rectangles displayed. Tried Opera and it loads basic images like Firefox used to, FAST...

    The speed of image searching isn't a problem for me. The trouble is, the automatic zoom function is lightning fast and I find it disturbing to the point that it makes me feel very ill.
    I very much want a way of suppressing it.

  • I can deploy Oracle XE for production in the Web?

    I can deploy Oracle XE for production on web site with support for 100 users or more?

    I run Oracle 10g XE on a home computer with 2GB of memory, and when I have a web browser, email, and SQL Developer open I am using more than 1GB of memory. If you're running Microsoft Office and other software on this machine while multiple users are accessing the database, my guess is that you're running out of physical memory and the operating system is running on swap/pagefile space (using the hard disk to emulate physical memory, which is extremely slow in comparison).
    You could take a look at this by opening the Windows Task Manager (CTRL+SHIFT+ESC), watching the graphs/numbers in the Performance tab, and seeing if the "Commit Charge" number at the bottom is exceeding the amount of physical memory you have installed (check by viewing System Properties: WINKEY+BREAK).
    My suggestion is, at the least, to run the XE database on a standalone PC/server (probably one with better CPU than a Celeron, which doesn't have much CPU cache), and make sure all the switches in your workplace are running at 100Mbps or 1Gbps speed, so that users pulling large datasets will have decent response times.

  • Copyright question for posting to the web

    hi all.
    i am wondering if someone wouldn't mind giving me a bit of expertise on a question i have.
    i have a set of images from various sources that are basically creative imagery. i have organized these and i would like to share them by posting them to an album on my flickr account.
    i have named the files with the topic and the photographer and i am wondering if it is likely to create a problem. in /most/ cases these images are actually from the New York Times so the file name says "architecture house_ray jones NYT.png" or whatever.
    is there a hard rule against this? is it possible to give attribution in the photo explanation and be OK?
    thanks for any advice.

    You'd have to contact the copyright holder to find out what you can do with the images.

  • Compressing photos for the web

    I'm new to mac and iPhoto.
    When I bring in photos from my camera into iPhoto,
    their file size is way too big for emailing and the web.
    (over 1mb)
    is it possible to compress and edit photos in iPhoto?
    Or do i have to use another program such as Photoshop?
    thanks

    If you're on a MBP then I'm going to guess that you're using iPhoto 6, not v5. (You've posted in the v5 forum).
    Select the pics you want to use and go File -> Export and in the resulting dialogue you have the option to resize the pics, among other options. Then complete the export to the desktop. iPhoto will make a copy of the pics with your changes on the desktop. You can use these for emailing and uploading. After they're used, you can trash them - they are only copies.
    If you're using Apple's Mail for email, you can resize the pics in the Mail window (look at the bottom right of the window. You can also create these emails from within iPhoto if you're using Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora.
