Converting HDV video to Quicktime using expert settings?

I use Imovie HD and have a Sony HDR HC1. I like to make short vid about 3-5mins long and post them on Youtube. As you know 100m is the max. I have tried to post over that, and it won't go.
Now when I share, I select CD-rom quality which make the movie about 30mb or so.
Question: Using the expert settings, how to I get the file to wind up at about 90-100mb for max Youtube rez??
My last attempt was using Mpeg4, (1920xsomething-widescreen) with the qualitiy setting at Least. Still came out at 175mb. Close, but I need to ne below a 100mb.
Any tips is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Eric

you should avoid both...
"my" settings are the final settings of youtube (aside the codec, which is a special kind of flv..)
so, you should add letterboxes to to your widescreens (afaik, youtube doesn't offer widescreen res)
and youtube delivers in 30/15fps.. .24 is .. an "uneven" factor ....

  • Exporting Using Expert Settings Problem

    When I try exporting using expert settings, which is pretty much necessary, any video that I export, in just about any format, but usually .mov or .mp4 looks very strange. Any moving objects appear to be broken up by horizontal lines. I do not know much about these sorts of issues, but I'm guessing it's a problem with the frame rate. I've tried just about every frame rate and nothing seems to work. Thanks for your help!
    P.S. Same thing happens when exporting from iMovie!

    It means the timeline settings. If your project is DV, then it will export a DV quality file. If your settings are Offline RT, it will export an offline RT formatted Quicktime...if they are 8-bit uncompressed, an 8-bit uncompressed QT...etc. And the same frame rate as well, 23.98, 29.97 and so on.
    It basically means that no further compression is occurring.

  • Issue with Exporting/Sharing File using expert settings

    I have a two-part question.
    First off, I am no 'expert', but to me the two best viewing options to save a movie that are 'standard' for quicktime are too disparate to work for me - the first option is too small (quality is too low) and the HD viewing option is too large (the file size is rediculous). I'm trying to save somewhere between these two sies/qualities. I'm attempting to do this by using the expert settings function.
    The issue is this - after I set up the size and quality the compression does not even start. I am attempting to save to a folder other than the regular movie folder, but have not removed it or changed that folder at all. I have saved files using the standard setup included, but for some reason after changing the settings, the movie will not begin to save. Any thoughts on this?

    Actually - upon further thought, I should mention that files I am playing with are quite large. The IMovie files is generally around 1-2 gigs.
    So maybe the files are so large and its eatting too big a chunk of memory/space to complete the process this way? If so is there still some way to save a file using expert settings?

  • IMovie to Quicktime using expert export settings - help with size settings

    I want to produce PAL DVDs in widescreen format using iDVD. The original video was recorded in standard size and I want to use iMovie HD to produce Quicktime movies for these DVDs.
    I am using the expert settings to export to Quicktime files. I am using H.264 compression.
    It is the size settings that I need your advice.
    Which do I use? PAL 720x576 4:3, or PAL 720x576 16:9, or one of the HD settings?
    Do I preserve aspect ratio?
    I have looked through many posts, etc but none readily answers my issue with size settings.

    Yes - footage is in 4:3
    I want to show the DVDs on widescreen TVs but not sure if TVs automatically adjust 4:3
    movies into widescreen ratio (say with letterboxing).
    For my standard footage video,I guess I am not sure of what ratios I should be using at the iMovie export to QuickTime stage, and then whether to set the iDVD project into 16:9 format, or leave it in 4:3 format and hope to widescreen TV do the converting.

  • Audio out of sync after exporting into Quicktime using current settings.

    Quicktime file has audio out of sync when I export to quicktime movie using current settings.
    Ok for about the first few minutes then, out of sync after about 10 minutes.
    I shot the footage on tape with my Sony HVR-Z7u.
    My Sequence setting is the same as the format of the footage as shown below.
    Pixel Aspect Ratio: HD 1440x1080
    Editing Time base: 23.98
    Quicktime video settings: Compressor: HDV 1080p24
    Audio Settings: Rate 48 KHz
    Depth: 16bit
    Clip format:
    Pixel Aspect Ratio: HD 1440x1080
    Vid Rate: 23.98
    Compressor: HDV 1080p24
    Audio Rate 48 KHz
    Audio Format: 16bit

    I recently moved and both of my editing machines were unplugged for a couple of days until I could get them set up. After turning them back on, the problem had disappeared. Perhaps leaving the system unplugged had allowed some of the internal components to reset? That's the only thing I can think of. At any rate, the issue is gone.

  • Convert Youtube video into Quicktime?

    I am in the process of learning how to use "Keynote '09" (Version 5.3). Is there anyway to convert an youtube video into Quicktime, so that I can play the youtube video in my keynote presentation? I would not want to purchase any expensive softwares or apps for it because I do not use keynote for business but just for my community volunteer work.

    Since Google seems to 'own' all videos posted on YouTube most video extractors for YouTube, once widely available, no longer work.
    So your question is really moot at this point - I don't know of any way, now, to even download YouTube videos. You could always use ScreenFlow (or a similar product) to 'capture' the video and sound, but that (according to Google) would violate their terms of use for YouTube videos.
    Sorry,

  • How to convert mp4 videos (HD) for use on the new ipad in imovie without a mac.

    Hi,
    Please help. I have many videos taken with my sony cybershot camera (Mpv4 (HD)). I have the new ipad and have downloaded imovie. I have converted the videos so they can be viewed on the ipad but imovie will not recognize them. I have a Pc (not a Mac) and have watched many youtube tutorials on how to convert my videos for use on the new ipad and imovie but so far no success.

    If you are on the PC there are a LOT of video converters you can use. One of them is Freemake: http://www.freemake.com/

  • Convert analog video to digital using a miniDV camcorder

    Hi hi
    So I want to convert some old analog videos I have from about 10 or so years ago to digital so I can edit them in iMovie HD. I've been reading a lot of the forums around and have successfully (I think) connect the analog video camera to the the miniDV (a Sony Handycam DCR-HC30E) using that A/V jack in the digital recorder and the analog to connect them. And the digital recorder is connected to the computer via firewire. So that's all right.
    But now I'm up to the stage where I need to import it into iMovie HD (version 5.0.2) and it's been stubborn and not doing anything. I press play on the analog like people have said but iMovie just says "Camera no tape" and the "import" is unclickable.
    Please please please please help! I've no idea what I'm doing wrong!
    So just for quick reference, I'm using:
    iMovie HD 5.0.2
    Sony Handycam DCR-HC30E (Mini DV) and
    Panasonic NV-VZ1 (analog video recorder)
    P.S I don't want to have to record onto the the mini DV tapes because I've got none.
    Thanks!

    Hi catspaw! Thanks for replying
    I probably should have mentioned before that I did change the 'A/V to DV out' to on, and I think that's the same as "passthrough"
    And I've tried suggestion 2 as well, but to no avail! The connection either dropped once I took the tape out or it started to film on my iSight camera! Which is bizarre because my iMovie usually does not let me film with it! I've also been able to film with the camera connected to the computer and recording on the computer and see what I'm fliming on the computer.
    But thanks for your help anyway!

  • Trying to share movie with "Expert Settings" - nothing happens (help?)

    When trying to "share" (export) my movie, if I select the "Expert Settings" option, nothing happens. That is, if I select "Expert Settings" and click "Share", then a dialogue window displays briefly and disappears, and the main iMovie window returns.
    I'm running iMovie 4.01 on Jaguar. I tried deleting my iMovie prefs and the ~/Library/iMovie files, didn't help.
    My iMovie project was previously corrupted somehow, I started a new project and imported the old ".mov" file to try to salvage it. This seems to have worked somewhat (I can play the movie and I can export it in some formats). But I can't use expert settings.
    Help?
    Neal

    Two things you might consider:
    - QuickTime export may fail if the ~/Movies folder is missing. Re-create that folder if that is the case.
    - iMovie 2.1.1 can't export to QuickTime if Roxio Toast Titanium 5.0.1-5.1.1's Toast Video CD Export 1.0 is in iMovie's Resources:Plugins: folder. Toast Titanium 5.1.2 installs Toast Video CD Export 1.4 which fixes this. With new Toast versions this is not an issue.

  • No audio when converting ipod videos

    Hello Apple,
    When I try to convert my video for Ipod use, I can see the video, once converted but I don't get any audio!!!
    What can i do to resolve the problem?
    Thanks for your help,
    Daniel

    Multiplexed video ("muxed" where the video and audio is combined on one track) cannot be converted for use on the iPod by using either iTunes or Quicktime. As you have found, if you do this, there is no audio track.
    You must use a 3rd party converter.
    I have used MPEG Streamclip with good results (albeit on a Mac). There is a Windows version.

  • "Expert Settings" filters.

    Just for an experiment, I "shared" my short movie in my usual way, (that is, so it could be burned to a disk and played on a DVD player), but this time I used "Expert Settings". I set everything as required for full quality dvd, but this time I went to the "filter" settings and added a "blur" of 2.
    The movie compressed, and I then opened iDVD and burned it to a disk.
    But when I played the disk, I sure as heck didn't notice any blurring or softening of the movie image. It looked exactly the same as it had when I shared and burned it on my usual "full DVD quality" setting, (which obviously doesn't have the blurring).
    Speaking of that, I think digital video on the mini dv format is great, but maybe it's a little too great. Personally, I prefer a softer image, without that spikey, gritty, electronic sharpness that you get with a digital camera.
    Just my opinion.
    But to get back to the question. Did I do something wrong? If I add filters during compression of my movie, do I have to use another application besides iDVD to burn it?

    John,
    I've since tried doing that. Made a short, (1 minute) movie and "shared" it with a stronger blur filter. It worked, the blur was noticable this time. When I say "blur", I mean that the image was softer, much easier on the eye.
    I think I'll do that every time, in future. Digital images are terrific, but in some circumstances, such as a shot of a highly textured surface, they can be too sharp, almost "gritty". When the camera pans on such a shot, I often see a strange phenomenum where everything seems to shimmer, like blinking stars. It's very unnatural.
    Thanks for your reply, John.

  • What format in expert settings for fast start on the web?

    I exported a slide show to QT from iPhoto. Unlike imovie that gives you the possibility to use expert settings to export a fast start, iPhoto doe not have the option to export to expert settings.
    I want my QT slide show to begin to play as it uploads on the .mac web page. By accident, (I don't know what I did) one of my video has a fast start on my web pages, it starts playing before it has finished uploading. On the other hand, most of my other videos or QT slide show, have to fully upload, which can take 5-10 minutes, before the viewer can see it playing.
    Also, If I open my QT slide show exported from iPhoto in the size of 7.1MB, and re-export it using QT pro expert settings using Fast start, the file become 91MB big...... way too big to post on the .mac account!
    What is the difference between hinted, streaming, fast start, and compressed header? I'm getting a little confused with the choices!!!
    please help!
    Any suggestions would be appreciated!!!
    michel

    Some iPhoto slide shows (those that use only the fade effect) do not fast start. They are made up of three video tracks slightly offset in time and a tween track that sets the fade.
    You could open them in QT Pro and use the save as menu. No re-compression but the file size will become three times larger because each of the video tracks will become independent (for lack of a better word). This new file will fast start.
    Exporting isn't a good choice unless you use identical settings to the original (Photo-JPEG video codec and an extremely low frame rate).
    The file size of the original is "trick" that can only be performed by iPhoto.

  • Convert PAL Video to NTSC

    I'm wondering how it is possible to convert PAL Video to NTSC using FCP, DVDSP or other tools. Thanks.

    Hi:
    You can do it for free using Compressor standard conversion presets.
    Check this thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1015451&tstart=15
    It's related to NTSC to PAL, but you can use the same guidelines in the other way.
    Besides thatm the posted software is only Windows based:
