Compressor Encoding for iPhone videos - Landscape and Portrait?

Often I create a 16x9 iphone version of my commercial project and e-mail it to my client for approval. After downloading the clip using his iPhone's email, the clips play fine in portrait mode... but won't switch to landscape when his phone is rotated. Is there something I need to check in Compressor to allow this to happen, or is there some other reason it stays 'locked' in portrait mode?

Check out the "Ensure a Great Audio and Video
Experience" section of the Apple iPhone Dev notes.

That is for web delivery. What about Compressor 2.x settings for high quality transfers? I seem to have some abnormally long times (days) to go from DV mov to H.264.
Please do not tell me to upgrade my hardware, this is some other issue. I know because if I choose an iPod setting I get respectable times.
Y'all be cool,
Robert

I had a friend airdrop a video to me last week from her iPhone and I saw it on my iPhone after the upload was complete. I'm looking for the video now and can't find it anywhere on my phone. Where is it and/or is it stored on my phone?

Landscape and portrait phots?

Hi
I want to use some phots to make a youtube video the photos are both landscape and portrait , but when i add the media it only shows the photos in one orientation (landscape) any advice gratefully recieved

Before you import the photos into your project, go to your preferences (under the Edit menu on a PC) and uncheck Scale Stills to Frame Size.
Also make sure your photos are sized to no larger than 1000x750 pixels or they are going to be way to large to work with. You may need to resize them once youv'e added them.
Unless your concern is that the portrait photos are coming in sideways. If that's the case, you'll need to open them in Photoshop Elements, rotate them 90 degrees and then resave them. Note that, although many photos will appear to be oriented correctly in the Organizer or in Windows, they still may not actually be oriented correctly until you open them in Photoshop.

Landscape and portrait mode in Epub

Hey!
When I export from Indesign to .epub with a fixed layout - is there a way to use it in landscape and portrait mode on an Ipad or Iphone? Mine stays in landscape.

@Steve – don't think so…
@Kaz Till – do you mean the following:
1. Without setting "auto":
2. After setting "auto":
Don't think, that this is to the advantage of the reader…

Landscape and Portrait Orientation Problems

Hello everyone,
I am working on my first iBook using iBook Author. I am having a heck of a time understanding how to make something look good in both Landscape and Portrait orientation.
For example, I am curious how to make the spaces between paragraphs disappear in portrait view, if I had to use them in order to make the landscape view look proper in terms of formatting. In depth, if I have a text for a section in the book that I need to have at the top of the next column, I am putting my cursor before the text and pressing enter a few times in order to move it along and onto the next column so it is at the top of the page.
Here is a picture of what I am talking about:
The highlighted text has been shifted down so it will be at the top of the next page.
Now this is what it looks like in Portrait orientation:
There are way too many empty lines between them. Also, you will notice at the top that Not Getting In the Way is also too close to the text above it. Correcting that by putting a space between the lines will screw up the Landscape formatting.
Also, adding pictures makes it even MORE difficult to keep both formatted properly and clean.
Any advice would be INCREDIBLE.
Thank you everyone!

Layout in landscape. Edit in portrait....assuming you've not disabled support for it.

Change landscape-and-portrait-folio to landscape-only

Is it possible after mistakenly having produced a folio with landscape-and-portrait-mode setting it back to landscape-only?
In the new content viewer, if a folio is set for both landscpae and folio, but only one layout exists, it shows a grey empty page in the second alignment (before it didn't change the alignment and the picture wasn't changed when turning the iPad).
Now, when you create a new folio, you are asked if this is landscape-and-portrait or portrait-only respectively landscpae-only. We mistakenly have chosen both-alignments and are now having the problem of the empty grey mode in portrait.
Can this be changed after upload the layouts? Is this also happening within the app itself?

Hi Bhaskar,
thanks for your help. My intention is to create a single-orientation layout, but I created a both-orientations-layouts. Before v20 (or 19?) when just uploading one of the orientation into that folio, content viewer and the branded app just showed one orientation and fixed the layout within the iPad. Now, if you choose both-orientations and just upload a single one, you are getting a grey screen in the missing orientation.
I wasn't aware of this fact (maybe because german customers weren't invited to sprint v20 presentation) but I'm afraid that you are right an have to created the folio completely from the ground (which is a lot of more work with import function not running )
Maybe this solves my push notification error with one of my folios I have

How do i have landscape and portrait slides in the same keynote file?

how do i create landscape and portrait slides in the same keynote file?

You cant, its one or the other not both, the slide size setting is for the whole presentation, not for individual slides.
The slide format is chosen to match the display the presentation is shown on. I have presentations showing on vertical, horizontal, square, circular and iregular shaped screens with rear projection, but a single format must still be set.

Investigate book with both landscape and portrait pages

I've an old book where I sucessfully swapped landscape and portrait pages, but there are complications why I cannot use it as a model for my current project. Since I no longer remember how I accomplished this, I have to investigate how to build a book with both landscape and portrait pages.
I know about paragraph tags set to use a new page. Also a table on Reference page which lists Paragraph Tag Name, Right-Handed Master Page, Left-Handed Master Page, Range Indicator.
But this doesn't seem to be enough; something is not working.
Could you please point me toward resources which discuss how to do this?
Thank you kindly,
Theresa

I think there was a big discussion of this already either here on the forum or over at the Frameusers.com list (I forget which). Try googling -

Script to make landscape and portrait images square

I am new to scripting and could use a little help.
We are currently rebuilding our enitre website from the ground up. New look, new products, new images (about 2,800 of them). Here is where it gets tricky.
Some of the photos are landscape and others are portrait. I have resized the images to the required 200 pixels wide, but we are now running into the issue where they also need to be 200 pixels high. I could just separate them into two folders, landscape and portrait, and run two different actions, but I would prefer to run an if/than script if possible. Can someone tell me if this is possible in Photoshop? These are images of products, so there is no background.
If the image is larger than 200 pixels high, reduce the image to 200 pixels high. Then, enlarge the canvas to 200 pixels.
If the image is smaller than 200 pixels high, Then enlarge the canvas to 200 pixels high.
These are all 72 dpi, RGB images. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have found this JaveScript that does what I need on the PC side, but keep getting an error when it tries to save the image.

Printing landscape and portrait orientations in LR

I have usually been printing from Qimage or QTR for my black and white, despite having heard good things about LR's print module.
This afternoon I thought I would give LR a whirl at printing. I had a series of 4 photos (3 portrait orientation, 1 landscape) selected which I wanted to print one per page. In Print they all appeared oriented in the most logical fashion as I paged through the 4 pages (i.e. the longest dimension of the image ran down the longest dimension of the paper).
I then selected my profile for my paper and hit Print... to go into my printer settings (Epson 3800) for that paper. These latter settings exist for both landscape and portrait orientations of my papers. As I had both landscape and portrait images I wished to print and the settings for the printer driver dialog are identical for both apart from the media orientation, I chose the landscape to get a quick feedback on whether LR would be able to handle a mixed bag of portrait and landscape images.
As I feared, my first print (which was an image in portrait orientation) came out with the long axis of the image squeezed into the short dimension of the paper....so LR saw the choice I had made of a landscape orientation within the printer driver as a hard and fixed choice. Does this mean one can only do print runs of either portrait or landscape oriented images in LR and never combine the two?
I realize there may be an easy answer to this as I've really not used LR for printing till now.
Thanks for input,
Dave M

Thanks DJ-G....I can't swear but I am almost positive I had Rotate to Fit checked....indeed that would explain why when paging through the 4 pages in LR they were rotated to fit in the correct orientation. I'll check again. I do understand with Custom Package etc. we can print landscape and portrait when printing multiple images on the same page but my specific concern is printing one image per page and whether LR can handle a series of such prints in one print job if the images are a mix of landscape and portrait orientations.

Multiple Renditions for iPhone 3/4 and iPhone 5

I need to create a single folio viewer iPhone app with multiple renditions for iPhone 3/4 and iPhone 5. What is the best way to go about this?

You can't create a single folio viewer for iPhone. You'll need to create a multi-folio viewer, and it must be iPad+iPhone combined. There's no option for iPhone-only.

HT4623 When I was update ios6 for iPhone 4 , mail and application are hung , why ?

When I was update iOS 6 for iPhone 4, mail and application are hung , why ? How I should do for that ?

They don't let you downgrade. You have to eat what Apple tells you to and think what they tell you to. If you liked the older software better than tough ****. You know what you should do?? You should throw away that garbage that Apple has sold you that they call a phone and get something by anyone else because no one else regulates what you get to do and say about your phone in such an extreme manner. Not being mean to you friend. Just know that as long as Apple is answering your questions that you will never get a definate answer and at best you will get something that you don't like but have to get used too.

Cannot go to iTunes store using my iPhone 6 plus. I click on App Store and it opens up iTunes U. Even when I open iPhones video app and try to purchase a movie which is suppose to take me to iTunes store, it instead opens up iTunes U.

There isn't currently any music, films or TV programmes available in the South Korean store, so you will only see iTunes U in the iTunes store app. You can't use the US store unless you are in the US, you have to be in a country to use its store (that is in the Store's terms) - so whilst you are in South Korea you can only use the South Korean store.
Are there other music purchase download sites in South Korea that you could use ? You can also copy your CDs via your computer's iTunes

Playstation 3 compressor settings for h.264/mp4 and avchd and 5.1 audio

Hello this is my first post on this forum. I am a cameraman by trade, but do a lot of editing. I am pretty good on an Avid and with color correction software, but since I sold my sony f900 and picked up a couple or RED cameras - I was forced to hop on the FCP studio2 wagon. So I apologize for the newbie questions.
I have a PS3 and not a PSP. I find more and more clients have a PS3 for their media and blu-ray... etc. So my question is what are the settings for compressor to encode for the PS3 and there ever so nit picky and poorly documented parameters.
There are plenty of non-pro answers, but I have searched high and low for what they need specifically. I see lots of questions but now answers.
So how can I take my final cut footage or any video file for that matter, and put it into something that my PS3 can chew? What are the H.264 (mpeg4) settings?
Can I also (but not exclusively) encode in AVCHD from compressor?
Lastly is there a way to put on the 5.1 or surround info into these files for PS3 playback? if I want to take one of my work DVD's (reel, projects, etc) and put it on the PS3 or bring in surround encoded (5.1, 6.1, 7.1) tracks into FCP and put it with my footage?
Thanks for any and all help...
the only vaguely technical info I have found was on the PS3 forum, here is what it says:
from:
http://boardsus.playstation.com/playstation/board/message?board.id=ps3media&mess age.id=22987&query.id=96226#M22987
For those of you who want to put .MP4 videos on a PS3 with a Macintosh, this is how you do it with ffmpegx.
VIDEO
- X264 Encoding
- framesize can be any
- framerate can be any
AUDIO
- any MP3 or AAC track
OPTIONS
- Use CABAC on
- Constant bitrate on
- Trellis on
- Decode with Quicktime (not always necessary but if your picture is out of sync with audio, try this)
- AVC level 3.0
This produces a good .MP4 file that the PS3 will happily play.
Can anyone help or point me in the right direction? if not can we figure it out on this thread? there are a lot of questions I find when I google this subject out there - so a lot of people would be happy to find the answer.

I have created files to play on PS3, and the secret is to use MPEG Streamclip. You can encode to whatever you want in MPEG2 or MPEG4, then open that bad boy in MPEG Streamclip:
If it's MPEG2, File > convert to TS
If it's MPEG4: File > Save As MP4
That's it. MPEG Streamclip doesn't re-encode so no quality loss. All it does is change the container. And PS3 is very picky about containers.
As for 5.1 audio, you can do this by encoding separate MPEG2 video and AC3 audio files like you normally would for a DVD. For hi-def MPEG2, use one of the Compressor presets for HD-DVD. Make sure they both have the same name ("xxx.m2v" and "xxx.ac3", for instance) and are in the same folder. Then open the video in MPEG Streamclip and it will automatically mux the streams together, which can then be converted to TS.
Note that this is only possible encoding video to MPEG2. I don't know of any way to create an MP4 with 5.1 audio.
PS3 is a great way to deliver HD video onto your TV without the frustration of trying to author Blu-Ray or even burning discs.
