Compressor settings for web

Hi guys,
I just finished a promo for a club and exported it in ProRes 720p50 and it looks pretty bad ***. I then compressed it with Compressor (Quicktime 7 LAN) for the client so it would be easy accessible... 23MB instead of 3GB
The only problem is that my shots where I use the focus don't get compressed very well. And some of my shots look kind of blury.
So my question is what I could do to adjust these small 'mistakes'...? Adjust the bitrate...? A clip of 50-60MB is doable for me
Thanks!
PS The length of the promo is about 2 minutes

You either start with the LAN preset and adjust the settings up or start with the Apple: Formats: Quicktime: H264 preset which is full quality and lower it til you get the file size you need.
Another thing you might try since the LAN settings are resizing, is to customize the preset in the frame controls panel so the scaling is set to best. You can do a test on a short problematic section in compressor by setting an in and out in the preview window.

Best compressor settings for web videos shot on canon 7d?

Hello,
I've started shooting video on the Canon 7d. I usually compress my videos for youtube as MP4 at 300 Kbps. However my last video had a presenter with background music track added. When I did my first export to compressor without the music background all the audio of the presenter was perfect. When I added a soundtrack in the background the presenter's voice was distorted, sounding like a Dalek!
I got better results with less distortion when I re compressed the video as MP4 800 kbps. Can anyone please recommend better settings that would give much superior sound and picture with zero distortion?
Much appreciated.
thanks

Did you try using the YouTube preset?

Best Compressor settings for HD720 16:9 to cell phone OTHER than iPhone?

Hey there,
Does anyone know a good set of compressor settings for exporting HD720 16:9 29.97fps to a cell phone compatible format other than iPhone? Do most cell phones use an MPEG format? I guess I should start there. New to this one.
Thank you,
ed

There are different MPEG flavours and compression for DVD, mobiles or web often means creating some flavour of MPEG file. Even H.264 is an MPEG file. One of the most advanced.
Go to Compressor settings and look for a folder named Mobile devices then do a bit of your DIY (test, test, test).

800mbps Quicktime for the web,< </div>
The compression is reducing the number of pixels being shown in order to maintain the bitrate. So rapid motion, which requires nearly all of the pixels to be redrawn, causes things to stutter.
Compression is really, really hard to do. Really.

Settings for web straeming

I need to get good settings for web streaming, and for seeking to work with mp4-files.
If I use Handbrake to encode video (H.264 MP4) and check the box "Web optimized" the seeking works, but if I use Meda Encoder settings it does not. ME has no "web optimized" as far as I can see - is it another setting in PP CC or ME CC I should use to get the same result? (In Handbrake the "web optimize"
places the container header at the start of the file, optimizing it for streaming across the web (fast-start))
Thanks in advance for any suiggestion!

Export settings for Web and Television

I am looking to Export a 30sec ad that will be posted on a website, and shown on TV in California. I have FC 5.0.4
What export settings do I use? Countdown? Bars and Tones?
any help would be greatly appreciated.

For web, I would recommend using H.264. The Web Download 800 kbps preset in Compressor, or the Broadband High preset in QuickTime would be a good choice.
As for delivering video for TV, I would recommend contacting the TV Network which will broadcast your video, and ask them about their broadcast requirements.
Good luck!

Best compressor settings for HDV downconvert -- attention hanumang

Reposting this bit because it differs significantly from topic of thread where it appeared.
goal: the best possible HDV-DV downconvert using final cut studio (hitch: I have added problem of converting resulting film from PAL to NTSC)
previous method: the best luck I've had is Quicktime converting from HDV to 10-bit PAL SD and compressor converting that to NTSC DVDPRO50
Hanumang recommended using compressor for first conversion. My response:
What settings?
By coincidence I decided to try the initial conversion (HDV to 10-bit) this morning on compressor (but I didn't change the frame rate; i didn't know they were relavant for HD downconvert; I only change them for the PAL-NTSC conversion).
At first glance, the compressor 10-bit conversion doesn't seem any better than the quicktime conversion (due to the frame rate settings?). I don't know for sure because I haven't sent it back to compressor for PAL-NTSC conversion and on to DVD SP.
One issue I'm worried about is the dimensions. quicktime's 768 x 576 (preserve aspect ratio checked; letterbox selected) was the only dimension setting that produced a film that looked right (on the dvd; it's squished in final cut). I don't see that option in compressor. I suppose I could type it in the frame size boxes.
I would be most grateful for help in this matter. I've spent a few weeks on this. I just plod along, zombie-like, trying a few different things every day, hoping to hit the jackpot eventually. I've been planning on trying to downconvert using my HDV/DV deck (print to tape in HDV; then change settings to downconvert and capture as DV). Would that help?
how do pro studios handle downconverting? What kind of hardware do they use? I'm an independent filmmaker, working on a small budget, but eventually, once the film is finished and (hopefully) I have more money, I''d happily pay for a good pro conversion. Do you know what that costs? The film will be 80 minutes long.
thanks again for your help.

My bad, I was out in the afternoon and didn't get a chance to pick up on your reply to the last thread. Sorry to hear that your first attempt with Compressor was so disappointing.
Just so we're clear, you're using what exact versions of the software? FCP 5.1? Compressor 2? (For Compressor, in particular, 2.0 vs 2.1 vs 2.3 is important.) And, what are your sequence settings in FCP? Finally, we're to understand that you're actually working in PAL HDV? Or are you working in AIC?

Downgrade Compressor Settings for longer DVD

I work with very simple standard definition 4 x 3 aspect video and sometimes make DVD's Compressing with the various Stock DVD Compressor settings. I have never made a custom setting with Compressor. Now I would like to put a 200 minute video on a standard DVD (not dual density).
Can I modify a default setting like the 150 minute, and downgrade the quality enough so that the 200 min results would fit on a 4.6 gig DVD? (maybe room for a very simple menu.) Do I have to make a new setting from scratch, or could I modify and save, working from a default? Like I say, I have never made a compressor setting, so I could appreciate a sort of step-by-step.
Thank You
Richard Miller

Duplicate the DVD preset you want to use; it will show up in the custom presets in Compressor. Clcik on the new custom preset so it will show in the Inspector window and make any needed adjustments. Give it a name you'll remember then save it and apply it to the file you want to encode.
You can use one of the available online bit rate calculators to determine the best bit rate based on your program's duration: http://www.google.com/search?client=opera&rls=en&q=dvd+bit+rate+calculator&sourc eid=opera&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8

Compressor settings for YouTube for 720p 12 minute 10GB project created in FCPX?

Hey All
Would anyone care to share some settings for compressor please?
I have a 720p 50fps 12 minute 10GB file created in FCPX that using "Publish to YouTube" settings in Compressor is still coming out at 721MB.
It will take me 4-5 hours to upload this to YouTube so need to make the file smaller and who knows how it will play once its up online.
Any suggestions of some other Compressor settings without using too much quality?
Thanks

shippo,
When you reference "50 fps", do you happen to know if that's fields per second or frames per second? Depending on the answer to that, you may or may not need to adjust that.
When it comes to file size, you have frame rate, frame size, compression type and data transfer rate affecting the final size.
As Russ and darby have suggested, data transfer rate is the main thing to experiment with (since you're publishing for Vimeo, the other setting are pretty much locked in).
I have found that when it comes to playing with the bit rate, a video with a 1280 by 720 frame size needs between 4,000 kilobits per second and 5,000 kilobits per second to maintian good image quality. While you might get good results at a lower rate, high contrast areas in the picture are very, very, very likely to show loss of image quality.
If you need to get your video up asap, start the upload late at night. As long as your internet connection doesn't drop out (knock on wood), you file will be uploaded by the morning.
Also, (for what it's worth) is there any place close by that has fast internet that you could use? If you have access to a computer lab at a local community college, a 1GB file will probably upload in minutes rather than hours.

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.
