Compression options for making web-read wmv from larger avi

Hello all,
After spending about an hour rendering and re-rendering a file, I've decided I need some help.  I'm using AE CS4 to try and make a large, uncompressed .avi file smaller for the web.  Each option I try seems to destroy the image quality though.  I don't know what to do to make the avi smaller while retaining at least a professional looking quality level.  These files are for my online portfolio, so I need them to look as nice as possible...so I can try and find a new job ^^;
Any help would be monumentally appreciated!!!! -bows-
Shawnna
PS:  I do have the raw files used to make these avi's, but it's quite a jumbled mess if I try and open them in CS4.  They were made in 6.5.

Also try to output to FLV and embed it into your website (see this thread for some tips). H.264 is certainly also an option, but be aware that it still may cause viewing problems for some users, e.g. crash the browser. Since you are on CS4, you could also do this in Adobe Media Encoder, which will provide some more encoding options...

  • Options for making a progressive subclip from a progressive video?

    We have flash files that are streamed using clip offset & duration parameters.
    The flash files are later saved to DVD and played there as progressive media.
    We hoped to use the same files and subclip parameters for streaming and the DVD.
    ...But subclips are not supported on progressive media.
    Do you have suggestions on best approach?
    Options(?):
    1) Bite the bullet, chop the original (streamed) file(s) into different files for the DVD which make the play timing look the same in both play modes.
    2) Somehow fake streaming from the progressive file to make it look like a streamed file, so subclips will work.
    3) Subclass OSMF classes to calculate offset & stop point for progressive media playback (force subcliping). Any examples on this?
    Also, is there a reason (besides resource efficiency) that subclips are not supported from progressive media?
    Thank you in advance!

    We ended up adding a step to re-transcode the [streamed] video files into multiple smaller exact sized file(s) to enable the same viewing experience from DVD (Option #1)

  • Does Mac OS X v10.8.5's Preview have a compression option for JP(E)G images?

    Hello.
    Does Mac OS X v10.8.5's Preview have a compression option for JP(E)G images? I did not see an option for it.
    Thank you in advance.

    Always make and work with a copy of your original image.
    .jpg is a 'lossy' compression, so once saved to a smaller file size, the detail cannot be regained by attempting to re-save the smaller image back to a larger file size.
    In OS X 10.8.5, using Finder, I used File Export (but you can also use Save As, revealed with Command+Duplicate in the Finder menu)
    The original digital image was 6.7MB, created with a digital camera at 4000 pixels wide x 3000 pixels height.
    Using the slider as shown above to change the Quality setting in increments of 2 'bars' here are the file size results.
    Example image saved at '2' quality (smallest file size): {click on the images to enlarge on your screen}
    A very 'busy' scene, saved at the smallest file size, might be OK for casual web use, such as social media posts.
    Viewed at magnification, the artifacts, loss of detail, and digital 'noise' become apparent.

  • "Block EDIT option*" for all WEBI Reports with Administrator Account

    Hi,
    I had opening CMC with Administrator Account.Due to some reasons i want to "Block EDIT option" for all WEBI Reports.Just Viewing is sufficient.In the same way for Universe"Blocking EDIT object option".Instead of Administrator guide reference (chap no 18 &19)option.Could you help in steps resolving issue.Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Swapna.

    Hi Swapna,
    You could perform the following steps:
    1. Login to CMC.
    2. Go to Folders >> Manage >> Top Level Security
    3. Click on Add Principal and add the user or group for which you have to set the security.
    4. Click on assign Security >> Advanced tab >> Add/Remove Rights.
    5. Select Content >> Web Intelligence Report
    6. assignt "Edit Object" right as denied and click on apply ok.
    This would help you to block edit option for only webi reports and all the webi reports in your environment.

  • Occasional SOAP errors when making web service calls from C#

    We have a C# application making web service calls to RFCs (non-NCO, SAP 4.7, WAS 6.40) and occasionally getting the following error:
    The 'SOAP-ENV:Envelope' start tag on line '1' does not match the end tag of 'SOAP-ENV:Envel'. Line 1, position 34560.
    This error happens randomly and can occur, not occur, and occur again for the exact same call (same data, same web service call).  I anticipate that we might have a missing configuration on one of our application servers, but don't know where to tell BASIS to look.  Any ideas or other help would be appreciated.

    That's going to be difficult.  The random nature of the error makes it impossible to reproduce (so far) in our Development and Test environments.  Since the error is coming from the SAP side, I believe I would need a sniffer on each production application server in order to try to catch this and that would result in some very large log files.  Is there any log file or other SAP transaction that might already be capturing these failures?

  • Making Web Service calls from a Form in the WorkSpace

    I am getting conflicting information about this, so I hope someone here could clarify it. TIA.
    This is what I want to do:
    after a form is displayed/launched in the WorkSpace,
    when the user Tabs out of a field (Exit event) on the form,
    I want to make a Web Service call from the form,
    get the result from the WebService,
    and use the Result to populate another field on the form.
    I know for certain that this works if I Reader-Extend the form,
    and I set the JavaScript at the Exit event (to execute WebService call)
    as "Run At Client".
    The question is:
    can I make the WebService calls without Reader-Extending the form???
    I have been told that, yes you can,
    but *only if* you let the JavaScript "Run At Server".
    I tried that, but it caused the Reader to crash.
    Some other people told me,
    no you can not,
    even if you "Run At Server", the form still needs to be Reader-Extended,
    when using it in the WorkSpace environment.
    So, what is the truth? can someon tell me?
    Can I make WebServers calls from the Server-side at all?
    Do I really need to Reader-Extend the form even if calling it from server side?
    What exactly is it SUPPOSED to work?
    thanks

    yes, thank you both. I got the fix from Adobe Tech Support last week. It's working.
    The fix I got included a rather complex looking "Submit Service" though. Makes me wonder how a regular user would know that he needs to write such a Submit Service?? and even if he knows that he needs a special Submit Service, would he know how to write it??? I found no documentation for this type of things either.
    Shouldn't this solution be published somewhere in Adobe's website? Dev Lab perhaps?

  • Not getting Selection(Prompt) option for the WebI Query.

    Hello Experts,
    I built WebI query for the custom query of SAP BI.I am not getting an selection or prompt for the WebI Query even though there is a selection in BI Query.If i develop WebI report for the standard query of the Bex i am getting selction options.
    Please suggest how can i do this.
    Thanks in Advance,
    Shiva Kumar G.C

    Hi Shiva,
    Where in the Query Designer are the selections defined?
    Selections defined under Characteristic Restrictions should show up when you run the webi report.
    Additional selections created under Default Values won't show running a webi report (that is just an additional filter on the data retrieved from the data warehouse).

  • Compression options for datapump

    Hi
    We are using 10.2 version of the db.
    Using datapump
    I have rad docs for datapump and as far as compression goes, can only see COMPRESSION=METADATA_ONLY.
    We need to export something like a 200gb schema and we have no space for it.
    Is this the only option for compression? (yes, I have looked into other mount points)
    Looks like there isnt any. "Stay tuned for a data compression solution in a future release ".
    Brilliant.
    Thanks.

    Edited by: Dan A on Mar 28, 2009 12:18 PM

    Good point,and one I will look into.
    In the end I eventually got the dump - with 99% space used! I then scp-ed it to another box and gzipped it from there.
    I am going to look into setting those environment variables as this took me two hours yesterday and yesterday was a Saturday - know what I mean?

  • No option for export pro res 422 from after effects cs6

    There is no option for export prores 422 from after effects cs6 on new mac os 10.8.2 shows up and works on older mac 10.6.8
    How can I get this option back?

    I will guess that you used to have Final Cut Pro, but you no longer have it.  Generally, only machines with Final Cut Pro installed are able to write to ProRes 422. 
    There are third-party codec packages that do write to the ProRes family of codecs.  They have been discussed in this forum, and you could search for their names.  I'm sorry to say that I don't remember them.

  • What are the different options for implementing web security?

    Hi,
    Right now I am working on an internet website. We are using JSP for presentation and running Weblogic Application Server. I want to know different options for implementing website security. One of the options that I am aware of is to use LDAP. But we donot want to go and buy a LDAP Directory Server now. So I would really appreciate if somebody could let me know my choices here.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    If you are working on a Windows 2000 platform, the most obvious choice would be Active Directory Server as this is shipped free with Server 2000. It is LDAP compliant, although does have a few differences that set it apart from the other X500 standard based solutions which I will mention in a moment. Details on these differences can be found at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnactdir/html/msdn_activedirvsnds.asp
    Other options are openldap, an open source implementation of an ldap server or iPlanet's Directory Server. If you are initially doing an evaluation, a trial version is available of the iPlanet software and can be downloaded from their site. I found this particularly easy to get to grips with and their is excellent documentation available. There is also an offering from Novell, but I have no experience of this.
    Hope this helps.

  • I can't remember the password I used when I did a "backup to computer". Does this mean that my only option for backing up my iphone from now on is using the cloud? #I've tried any PW i can recall ever using, I must have gotten creative darn it.#

    I did a backup decided to do a full backup with a password. I forgot the password I used (it was a couple of months ago and I must have gotten creative with it.) Without that password the option to back up to my computer is dead, right? My only option for backup will be the cloud. I want to be sure I understand the mess I am in.    I have tried the passwords I have used before, I cannot believe I did this

  • 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,

  • Adding Custom Filter Options for Newsfeed Web Part

    Hi,
    In OOB feature the newsfeed web part shows filter options for Following, Everyone, Mentions, Activities and Likes. Is it possible to add custome filter options to this web part?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    It seems that there is no OOTB options which allow to add more filters in the newsfeed web part.
    But we have many methods to retrieve the social feeds and you can filter them in the way you like. To know more about how to get feeds, the following link should be a good start.

  • Best Compression Option For Text Only?

    I'll need to pre-render a text element to use in a project later on, and unfortunately, I've tried everything I can think of but I'm simply going to have to add compression to it to make it workable. Uncompressed it's to large and PP crashes when I try to bring it in as a png sequence (as it's over 6,000 frames long).
    So, this is just simple scrolling text, lasting 4min and has a transparent background. Can anyone recommend the best compression for a video with just text? My goal is, if I DO have to compress this, to keep it the absolute highest quality possible as it will get recompressed atleast once after this.
    I've played around with Quicktime and it seems to have a alpha channel option with some type of PNG compression agent. Not sure if that's the best way to go.
    Thnx!

    I wouldn't say it's a HDD storage issue as I have a 1.5TB drive. I'm just trying to keep the video file sizes down to avoid unnecessary bloat. The video in question (at 1080p for 4min) is 2GB. That's a little to steep from a storage stand point if I plan to do many of these types of videos.
    However, I did some research and tried rendering the same video using QuickTime's "Animation" codec (which is also supposedly a lossless codec). The file size is now down to around 400MB and I have an alpha channel I can use for transparency.
    What are your(s) thoughts on this particular codec or are there better options?
