Compressing  for the web[help]

hello is any body there that can tell me why when i try to compress with the .h624 i think it is, a 37 minutes short, it takes a very long time, to compress 15minutes it took 5 hours, now when i checked it said that it needed 35!! more hours!!! sould i up grade? i was told this problem is because my final cut is runing in "ROSSETA"
i have runin in it academic final cut pro 5.0.0
i have a macbook pro .2.16ghz intel core duo
1 gb memory
I Monrroy
MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   G4 tower

I would suggest asking this in the Final Cut pro forum.

  • HD video compressed for the web

    I was doing some testing trying to figure out the best way to compress the HD video I get from the Sony XDCAM HD for the web (streaming). I shoot in HD (1080/30P) because it's needed for our videos. The web streaming is secondary.
    I would prefer to make the web videos .flv because it works best and most easily cross-platform. In the real world, the majority of users have Windows PCs, which made me hesitant to use h.264 (.m4v) because it probably would require the average user to download things they may not wan to. Nonetheless, it has to be viewable on all computers in all browers.
    So, I took three 10 second clips of steady camera video with audio from the camera that I used in all tests. I will refer to them by clip number...
    Clip 1: 30P 16:9 High quality, 10sec=45mb
    Clip 2: 30P 16:9 Low Quality, 10sec=24mb
    Clip 3: 60i 16:9 High Quality, 10sec=45mb
    First I tested making FLV is Adobe CS3 Encoder using the High Quality (700) setting.
    Test 1 used size 848x480 (16:9)
    Clip 1: 1.3mb
    Clip 2: 1.1mb
    Clip 3: 1.2mb
    Comments: Looked very crisp, audio was clean, slightly darker image than original on default settings
    Test 2 used size 480x270 (16:9)
    Clip 1: 1.2mb
    Clip 2: 1.1mb
    Clip 3: 1.1mb
    Comments: Looked very crisp, audio was clean, slightly darker image than original on default settings
    Next, I tested making .m4v using the h.264 iPod settings in Compressor.
    Test 1 used size 640x370.
    Clip 1: 240kb
    Clip 2: 1440kb
    Clip 3: 204kb
    Comments: Image wasn't quite as clean as the Flash files, but still good. Much lighter/brighter than the Flash files also. Low Quality HD video had high file size... why? I don't know, but I don't shoot on LQ for things anyway.
    Test 2 used size 320x180.
    Clip 1: 160kb
    Clip 2: 865kb
    Clip 3: 865kb
    Comments: Image wasn't quite as clean as the Flash files, but still good. Much lighter/brighter than the Flash files also. Low Quality HD video had high file size... also the 60i file...why? I don't know.
    In conclusion, I'm lucky that I shoot 30P since it worked well in all areas. The h264 codec provides a much smaller file size than Flash, with a good image. Amazing considering we started with a 45MB clip. What are the standards for aspect ratios for putting 16:9 video on the web? I haven't heard much set in stone like you have for 4:3 video. Nonetheless, the 640x360 or 480x270 seem to be a nice size for most uses.
    I have heard that in Flash 9 you can chance the m4v extension to flv and it will work. IF that is true, that would be great because now my concern is that a base Windows PC cannot play these .m4v images without plugins/codecs. I suppose right now its a tradeoff between smaller file size/less compatibility with h264 or larger file size, great compatibility with Flash.
    Any comments or suggestions to help out would be great. I typed this fast so forgive me if I left out any important info.

    Hi APPLE27:
    One comment from your post that immediately caught my attention was this, "Nonetheless, it has to be viewable on all computers in all browsers."
    Unfortunately, it is unrealistic to expect one digital video file to be viewable on "all computers in all browsers" as there are simply too may variations in both hardware and software.
    A common approach when offering digital video is to provide two formats to choose from and then within each of those two formats a few versions of the video for different bandwidths.
    For example, a web site might offer Video for Windows and QuickTime. For each of these, there would be a low bandwidth Video for Windows file and QuickTime file and a high bandwidth Video for Windows file and QuickTime file (four files total). Of course, there's also Flash Video, Real Video, MPEG1, and so on.
    For better or worse, YouTube.com has allowed video content creators the realistic expectation of creating a digital video file that is viewable on "most computers". But, the video is unavoidably tied to that web site.
    When it comes to online distribution of video, it's still very open ended.
    Also, computers are not all that's out there. Mobile devices are a huge market and you'd be hard pressed to create a single digital video file that will play on all mobile devices (iPhone, iPod Touch, Palm Treo, Sony PSP, etc.) either from local storage or from a mobile browser.
    QuickTime offers a solution for creating a referencing movie - one file that links to other digital video files, but it too is imperfect at best when it comes to reaching the broadest audience possible.
    With my few comments here, I'm just scratching the surface. But, it all starts where you are right now: caring about the image quality when exporting from your edited master.

  • Best Video Compression for the web???

    I have read a number of discussions about which codec to use to compress video for the web and I’ve done my own tests and bar the longer encode time, which is not a problem to me, H.264 seems to come out as the best. I can get a superb quality, small enough for a quick download EXCEPT… this website needs to be friendly to the PC community.
    What do you all suggest I do?
    Go with lower quality MPEG-4 or Sorenson 3 and have my work look “not so good” or use awesome H.264 and provide a link to download the codec, which busy PC people will probably not bother to do.
    This is my dilemma.
    Thanks in advance for any advice.

    I love the results I get when using H.264. Even low data rate files look good (even when I display them double size).
    But it requires your page visitors have QuickTime 7 installed to view your QT files.
    QuickTime 7 is nearly a year old and most of your Mac viewers will have it installed. It is also "bundled" with the iTunes software download that many PC users have installed.
    H.264 is the only codec that requires version 7. Any other choice can be played using older versions of QuickTime.
    As much as I like H.264 its installed viewer base doesn't reflect the visitors system settings for Web work. If your crowd is savvy to QuickTime they will not mind the download to upgrade. If you use tracking software on your visitors you'll be able to see if they hang around for the download.
    MPEG-4 may be a better Web use choice.

  • Compressing For The Web

    Hi All,
    I have a video that's 320 x 240 @ 25fps... It's about 17mb and I want to compress it for web. Can I do this using Compressor? What would be the best settings?

    Tom:
    You can use any of the Web Download (Q7) presets to get a H.264 encoded video. What format is your source?

  • *** FCP exports a stuttering clip for the web - help.

    I'm exporting a clip and it stutters at 2 specific points about 2/3 of the way through. This happens in the same spot no matter how often I encode it. I checked the original file in the timeline and there is no stutter hiccup at all.
    I've trashed FCP and QT preferences and re-started but the problem still persists. Can anyone suggest how I may solve this? For reference, the clip in question is here: http://www.cloudninecreative.com/trailers/adtrailer.html
    Thanks in advance!

    First off...WOW DUDE! That is an AMAZING wedding video! I am really impressed. Holy cow...I wish mine looked that good. Well, mine was filmed by Uncle Larry, but let's not go there. I have seen my friends wedding video and...I have worked on wedding videos...and...they don't compare. Nice.
    Second off...what camera did you use to get such GREAT slow motion? HVX? GREAT slow motion, good colors. I am really impressed. Great camera work on that.
    We film in HDV with a Sony HVR-Z1U. Nearly every frame is colour-corrected and some have filters applied. Shot with a hand-held steadicam.
    Third off...and this is a doozy...where did you get that music? Sounds like a movie soundtrack. We are all big on paying for your music, cause it will sting you. Just curious.
    The music is from a film trailer, but just meant for the couple. I know the music thing is a big issue, you just can't get the same impact with royalty-free music IMO.
    Now...the stutter...is that when they are leaving the church? You see the low angle of the steeple, then a tilt down that cuts and repeats itself, THEN you cut to the street? that's odd...and you say it is not on the master...
    Trash renders...re-render and try again?
    Thanks Shane! I didn't think of trashing the render files - good idea!
    (GOOD wedding video dude...you are setting the bar pretty high with that one.)

  • Should I deinterlase my movie before compressing to a h264 file for the web

    Hi I have a movie in fcp that I want to compress for the web. I am going to compress it to a h264 file using quicktime. I was wondering if I should deinterlace the movie before compressing it
    thanks sam

    I have done it both ways and on computer monitors at least its always been my experience that DEINTERLACING the video looks better. Quite a bit better.
    Now there are 2 main ways to do it. And I've gotten similar results both ways. You can deinterlace from within Final Cut Pro which works fine or you can set Compressor to Deinterlace. Now I've read articles on why one is better than the next, but at least with Final Cut Pro 5.1.4 in the videos I've worked on I can't tell the difference. It looks good both ways.
    Hope that helps-

  • Oracle Help for the Web 2.0 Production

    Oracle Help for the Web 2.0 is now available on OTN Downloads.
    Oracle Help for the Web (OHW) 2.0 is a major update to the previous releases OHW 1.1x and OHW 1.0.x, and is designed and recommended to replace both.
    Some of the new features in 2.0 include the following:
    Support for Bookmarking Navigator Pages
    OHW 2.0 no longer uses frames to store navigational state on the webpage. Each navigator stores its complete state on the URL, allowing each page to be bookmarked. This includes TOC locations, keyword locations, and search runs. In the view topic page, the frame information is also saved, allowing a user to forward the link via email, etc to the displayed topic. In addition, if you navigate to a named anchor within a topic page, this page position is also saved and is bookmarkable.
    Multiple Locale Support in a Single Instance
    OHW 2.0 can now support multiple locales in the same servlet instance. After you register the helpsets in the OHW configuration file, the OHW servlet will automatically determine the best locale to use for a user request (based on browser settings and what locales are available), and display the localized helpset (along with a localized OHW chrome) to the user. This feature also means that if you navigate to a topic in English, and then send the link via email to a user whose browser supports Japanese, if the Japanese helpset is registered, the topic link will appear in Japanese to the second user.
    Search Engine Support
    OHW has been specially designed so that search engine crawlers can reach all hosted content (including table of contents, and index pages) and easily traverse within and between the available navigators. Page titles have also been redesigned to make pages easier to locate from within a search engine result set.
    Ability to Share Resources Across Localized Helpsets
    OHW can be configured so that helpsets can share resources such as images and CSS stylesheets. Since each localized helpset no longer needs its own resources, this can dramatically reduce the size of the deployed file.
    Relative Content Locations
    Content locations can now be specified relative to the OHW configuration file.
    True Popup Support
    OHW now properly supports Oracle Help popup links. Following this link will bring up a dynamic draggable DHTML window (or a normal popup window if the browser does not support it) with the requested topic page.
    All Level Merging in the Table of Contents
    Using the default TOC engines, each level of the TOC will merge like elements together. This change reflects modifications made to core Oracle Help classes and mimics the feature added to Oracle Help for Java (OHJ).
    New Tree-based Table of Contents Navigator
    The Tree-based TOC navigator shows the data in a heirarchical fashion and allows the user to see the full TOC (and not just a limited part of the TOC, as with previous versions of OHW). The tree-based TOC navigator is a standard navigator and can be added by including it in the helpset configuration file.

    Yes, I am now able to access this page and download OHW.
    Thanks very much,
    Lucie

  • Compressing video for the web

    I have had people ask me to make a short 30 clip for the web say of some of there sporting shots, what is the best way to go about knowing what kind of compression you use and what type of file is best.

    Bill bill bill... billy B... Will!!! Willy.... BillyWill...
    Search is your friend. This comes up three to two thousand times a week.
    Don't expect me to spoon feed you... but export it as a quicktime conversion and use one of the presets.
    I really like Broadband High... will be in h.264 and will be roughly 3 megs a minute-- will look a whole lot better than the demo reel you have up on your site right now.
    Good luck,

  • Exporting Clipped images for the Web... CONFUSED! ? Help ..? AI CS3

    Hi folks,
    I don't use Illustrator as much as I'd like, since my workflow is mostly on
    the web, but I'm finding it nearly impossible to export images I receive
    from print designers for web use. Many of these images are EPS or AI.
    They are clipped images, which is great, BUT when I try to Save for the Web,
    the error comes back that they are too large for the web and may crash AI.
    OR if I export to PNG or PSD, the files lose their transparency and I have
    to extract them manually from the white backgrounds, which defeats the whole
    purpose. I have tried opening in Fireworks and Photoshop with the same
    result. I've changed the originals from CMYK to RGB, but it doesn't help.
    Plus the images export with a huge crop area instead of just the image
    itself.
    I'd really like to be able to use AI, but I'm finding this situation
    unworkable. I am sure I'm missing something simple , but I'd appreciate any
    help greatly!
    Thanks

    Thanks for your help Jean et al.
    I only use Illustrator occasionally and when I have to. Not because I don't
    like the idea, but I'm almost completely web oriented and I find its layout
    is not as instinctive and smooth as Fireworks, and I use Photoshop for
    original layered images. The problem comes when I get a file from a printer
    who uses Quark and knows nothing about web prep and exporting for other
    uses. He couldn't export a layered file for some reason even though he had
    the backgrounds layered for print work.
    You are right, I've opened the tiff and eps docs from the printer before and
    played with them in AI, and saved them to ai native formats. I *thought* the
    eps files were created in ai by the printer, because they had the clipping
    paths and artboards. Obviously they were not. They had just opened with the
    default 14400 artboard which is why I thought they had been "set." So when I
    set the new 30x30 custom, I started seeing these files with a new
    artboard...
    So, in sum, I first tried to use these files in Photoshop, but they open
    as flat files and the clipping paths are lost. Only by experimenting with
    ai, did I find the files had clipping paths. I guess what threw me was that
    ai could extract clipping paths from eps that Photoshop could not.

  • Best way to encode Quicktime file for the web?

    Hello all and thanks in advance for your help with this problem.
    I need to know the best way to encode a quicktime clip for the web.
    This was my first try:
    http://www.denmothers.net/trailer-big.htm
    It works fine in safari, firefox, and ie for mac, provided they have quicktime 6 or later but it seems not to work on pc browsers. The file is encoded as an .mp4 using compressor and played with the browser's quicktime plugin. I've read that encoding files as a .mov provides greater compatibility but when i compress it as a .mov using the mpeg4 codec the file sizes are huge and when i use the photo-jpeg codec the quality is poor. h.264 looks great and has low file sizes but then my viewers have to have quicktime 7 which i think is too limiting because many will have older computers.
    How should I encode my file such that it works best across browsers and platforms and has the highest quality at the lowest size?
    Best,
    Keegan

    If you open an .mp4 file in quicktime pro you can then select File->Save-As and you are presented with two options:
    Save as self-contained: This will create a .mov that is the same size as your .mp4 but is playable on any system w/ QuickTime 6 and the Mpeg-4 codec. (PC's included).
    Save as reference: This will create a small (>500kb) file that will simply reference the .mp4. If they're in the same folder the .mov created will open the .mp4. Without the .mp4 the .mov in this case is useless.
    For what you're trying to do I suggest going with self-contained.

  • 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.

  • Saving JPG to PNG using Save for the Web

    Morning
    I came across Paul Riggott's script for saving PSD to PNG which I changed to JPG to PSD.
    The only problem with this is that the file size in most cases is larger than the original.
    Is there a way to do a save as for the web as well?
    Here is the  original code:

      var fileList = folderList[a].getFiles ("*.jpg");
       for (var z in fileList){
        var file = fileList[z];
        open(file);
        var Name = fileList[z].name.replace(/\.[^\.]+$/, '');
        var saveFile = File(decodeURI(fileList[z].path+"/"+Name+".png"));

  • Problems with PSE 10 when saving for the web.

    I'm having problems saving for web with PSE 10. I edit in RAW, edit in PSE 10, save as Jpeg, resize and save for the web.  Results are muddled and not sharp (looks cartoonish). Also, there is no metadata when you look at the image properties.  I uninstalled the program and installed again. No change.

    Are you resizing the photo before save for web?
    What settings are you using in the save for web dialog for the jpeg quality?
    If you compress the jpeg too much (low quality settings below 60), that can make your photos look bad.
    And save for the web in pse 10 automatically strips any metadata in order to keep the file sizes smaller.
    Also, the save for web in pse 10 has a bad habit of not remembering your last used settings, so it's good to verify that your actually set to jpeg instead of the default GIF setting.

  • 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.
