Create an mp4 file from mov without changing dimensions

I am working on a project for InDesign that needs to output to DPS.
I take screen capture movies which are saved in the default mov format. These movies are 700 px x 400 px. That can't change.
I need to convert the mov to an mp4.
I open AME but I am confused as to how to set the output controls.
I don't want to change the dimensions.
What setting will convert the mov to mp4 without changing the dimensions?

MPEG4 is one of the formats that has relationships among various settings called constraints. More specifically, frame dimensions and frame rate are constrained by Profile and Level. Here are the steps to set the dimensions as desired:
Open the Export Settings dialog for a job
Set Format to MPEG4
Click the Video tab
Set Profile to Advanced Simple
Set Level to Level 5
To the right of Frame Width and Frame Height, click the chain link icon to decouple width and height
Set Width to 700
Set Height to 400
(optional) Change any other settings such as Frame Rate and Bitrate as desired.
(optional, but highly recommended for future convenience) click the Save Preset button to the right of the Preset control in the upper right corner [in CS5.5 and before, the button icon is a floppy disc; in CS6, it's an arrow pointing down toward a rectangle, which I presume represents a disc drive.] Enter a name for the custom preset in the dialog that pops up, then click OK.
Back in the Export Settings dialog, click OK (if you opened this dialog from AME) or Queue (if you started from PPRO).
The preset that you saved in Step 10 will be shown in the list of presets for MPEG4, so you can use it for future encoding jobs. If you have AME CS6, custom presets are also displayed in the section at the top of the new Preset Browser.

  • How do i restore music files from backup without changing loosing the library structure?

    hello,
    i have 2 external hard drives. i had my itunes media files on one of them and a copy of them on the other one. (the itunes library files are on the internal hard drive)
    the external hard drive with the original media files crashed so now i want to use my other disc for itunes. so how do i use the copies of the files and making itunes believe theese are the originals? so i won't have all songs in itunes twice with one of them not working and so i still have all playlists, ratings and playcounts with the new files?

    Actually you can do this. Select the song(s) (in a playlist) that you want to delete then hit option + delete. This deletes the track(s) from library as well. You can also select a playlist and press option + delete and all of the songs that were in that playlist get deleted from the library.

  • Is there a way to run a script to create an RPD file from MDS XML files

    We would be interested in using the MDS XML format for the RPD file in saving it in our Subversion source code control system, and I have seen how to do this in the User documentation.
    Our question is whether or not there is a way to use a command line tool to recreate the rpd file without having to use the Admin tool, so that we can automate the deployment of the RPD file from source code control to QA and Production environments.
    If we check in the RPD file directly, then there is a way to automate the process, but we would prefer to use the MDS XML format since this allows us to save changes in text format, not binary, but we still need to be able to automate the process.
    In the Oracle Fusion Middleware XML Schema Reference for Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition document, I have found that there is a way to automate the creation of the MDS XML files from an RPD file using this command:
    biserverxmlgen -M -R repository_pathname [-P password] -D output_directory [-8] [-N] [-Q|-S]
    So my question is basically is there a way to reverse this process, to use some command line tool (or Weblogic Scripting or some other mechanism) to create the RPD file from the MDS XML files? Are there options on the biserverxmlexec command that will do what I am asking?

    Hey dmfairley,
    Thanks for the question. You can absolutely export the project as .mp3, as outlined in this resource:
    GarageBand Help: Export songs to disk
    http://help.apple.com/garageband/mac/10.0/#gbnd7cbf5ed9
    Export songs to disk
    You can export a project to your computer as a stereo audio file.
    Exported files can be reused in GarageBand to save processing resources by replacing or bypassing multiple regions, instruments, and effects. They can also be used with other music applications and devices, posted on the Internet (on a webpage, or in the iTunes Store, for example), added to an iTunes playlist, or uploaded to a mobile device such as iPhone or iPad.
    1. Choose Share > Export Song to Disk.
    2. To rename the exported file, select the name in the Save As field, then enter a new name.
    3. Choose a location to save the exported file from the Where pop-up menu.
    4. Select the format for the exported file (AAC, MP3, or AIFF).
    5. Choose the quality setting for the exported file from the Quality pop-up menu.
    6. Click Export.
    Thanks,

  • QTP can't read .mp4 files from JVC HM-100 cam...

    My QTP gives me the following message when I try to open an .mp4 file created with a JVC HM-100 camera: "The movie could not be opened. The movie contains some invalid data."
    VLC and iSkysoft (video converter) can read the file with no problem, so it can't be corrupt. I put a similar post in a thread about the JVC cam, but no one knew a solution.
    Right now, it looks like the only way to convert the mp4 files from the JVC HM-100 is to buy a video converter software for $50 because QuicktimePro, which cost me $30, can't do this, even though it claims to support mp4. Any ideas here?
    So in lieu of QTP, are video converters like iSkySoft reliable enough to use? Do I risk losing any quality? Am I forced to pay for 3rd party functionality again that I already paid for in QTP?
    Thanks... David

    Problem solved.
    I used the FREE software ffmpegX to convert the mp4 files.
    So why does FREE software do the job that PAY software like QTP promises to do, but can't deliver?
    Hmmm?

  • Changing the speed of the movie without changing the pitch

    Hi,
    Is there a way to create a movie and change the speed of the movie without changing the pitch of the audio??
    Thanks in advance.

    I think, this is a two-(many?)-step process, because 'speeding up' is allways pitching audio...
    so... my workflow would be:
    * extract audio from clip
    * speed up video
    * export audio (Quicktime/Expert/aiff
    * use any audio app which allows pitching (Amazing Slowdowner, Audacity...), change speed/pich
    * import back into iM....
    probably a little tricky to find the right, sync settings... but you asked for a very .. 'advanced' effect ...

  • Convert mp4 files to mov

    I have recently succeeded in using compressor to convert mp4 files into mov files using the h264 settings. however, this is no longer working due to the bugieness of compressor. I have also tried it with Media Encoder but that creates files three times the size of the original.
    Any one know of anyother way to do this?

    Sure. No argument there. But you have to work with the files given to you from the clients. In this case MP4's   encoded in such a way that the audio remains compressed on the timeline. Converting the files to mov is the quickest conversion process.
    Also the final product is for web streaming anyways. I have considered converting just the audio but it's easier file management and it also avoids sync issues.
    So yeah anyways now I'm using Media Encoder the conversion is faster and more dependable than compressor. I also now limit the bit rate to 2000 kpbs/sec to keep the file size of the converted file from slowing down the editing process. the resulting file sizes are not much smaller than the original mp4 files.
    Seems to be the best solution so far. Batch convert at night and edit during the day.

    Generally when creating a Word file from either a Mac or Win7 pc and opening it on two different machines (either one first) it always prompts that the file is open and will be opened as read only.
    However opening a CSS file does not prompt that it is already open on or from any machine which is causing code edits to be lost.
    What we found from out testing:
    - The file can be saved from one user to the server and WILL NOT PROMPT on other machines until the saving machine has the Dreamweaver program closed completely
    - The file can be closed and  Dreamweaver minimised to the launch bar but it still will not register on other machines that it has been changed.
    - Also, until the  Dreamweaver program is closed on the machines, it will continue to open it's saved version of the file. 
    Example Scenario:
    - User 1 opens test.css (which is 2000 lines) and adds some code to the end of the file to bring it up to 2500 lines
    - Meanwhile User 2 opens test.css as well (opens as 2000 lines as User 1’s edits have not yet been saved) and adds in code to bring it to 2300 lines
    - User 1 saves his file and closes it - but  Dreamweaver is still open.
    - User 2 also saves his file and leaves  Dreamweaver  open.
    - The server will report the size and last edit of the file the same as User 2 as he was the last person to save it (and if you open from the Win7 Machine it will show as User 2’s 2300 line version)
    - If User 1 then open's the file again (from either the 'recent' in Dreamweaver OR clicking on the file directly in Finder...which version opens.... The version that User 1 saved! Not the true version on the server, but the version that User 1 edited and saved with 2500 lines in it.
    - Same for User 2, he will open 'his' version with 2300 lines in.
    Other information:
    - Files are opened directly from the server
    - Sometimes the users will save incrementally and re-open
    - Most of the time users will save incrementally and keep the files open
    - The users will never not save incrementally and just save when closing the file once finished
    - The users are usually working on the files all day
    - It is always the bottom lines of code that are lost. It could be a case of the two versions being mixed up and cutting off the newly added lines based on the line count (possibly).
    It is as if Dreamweaver is holding a cache of the version locally and then only properly looking back to the server when it has been completely closed. It is very difficult to see how the server is causing such an impact on these files, there are very few logs which are giving any indication to the root cause of the problems.
    Anyone know if this is a known issue?
    Is there a way that there can be a featured implemented on the server that doesn't allow another user to open a file if it is already open on another machine?
    Thanks

    Your server file handling has nothing, and really nothing to do with Adobe software. If files don't get locked for (over-)writing and/or lose connection to the program opening them, then your server is misconfigured. It's as plain and simple and that. Anything from "known file types"/ file associations not being set correctly, MIME types being botched, crooked user privileges and file permissions, missing Mac server extensions, delayed file writing on the server, generic network timeout issues and what have you. Either way, you have written a longwinded post with no real value since you haven't bothered to provide any proper technical info, most notably about the alleged server. Either way, the only way you can "fix" it is by straightening out your server and network configuration, not some magic switch in Adobe's software.

  • Creating an xml file from a playlist - message for iTunes staff

    When I created an xml file from a playlist I noticed that in the xml file the track name was merged with the artist name in this manner "I want you - Bob Dylan".
    That was hardly a problem as I could easily correct this in the FileMaker Pro environment.
    But subsequently I found out, that within iTunes the track name was similarly changed to the same format. Apparently this happened when iTunes created the xml file and inadvertently also changed the track name within iTunes.
    It can easily be corrected by entering File/Info, but I had over 10.000 songs in that list and it will take a lot of time. I have to do this, as I created earlier for each song a file path in FileMaker Pro, which are unrecognizable now.
    Could you please correct the xml file creating procedure?

    I must confess that I can't reproduce this result myself anymore.
    I created the xml file in iTunes via File/Library/Export Playlist/xml structure (I translate the Dutch terms loosely) and subsequently I imported the xml file into a Filemaker Pro via File/Import/xml.
    The xsl style sheet looks ok.
    It looks like a freak of nature.
    Still I have the evidence in my iTunes playlist, where I have another 9000 clicks to go to repair the damage.
    Let's forget about it, until it happens again.
    Thanks for your time.

  • How to create an Excel file from XML in the Receiver File Adapter Comm Ch

    How do I create an Excel file from XML in the Receiver File Adapter Communication Channel? I have my mapping done and I am outputting the file as a comma delimited csv file. However, the target can only process an Excel file (.xls). How can I generate an Excel in XI?
    I saw this blog, but I don't know how to create a XSLT transformation.
    /people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/12/10/xi-generating-excel-files-without-the-java-nor-the-conversion-agent-not-possible
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Here are the steps I took to create an XSLT transformation in XI 3.0:
    1. I created my source and target XSDs using XMLSpy.
    2. I created the XSLT mapping from source to target in XMLSpy (referencing the souce XSD schema).
    3. I created another XSLT mapping to format the target into Excel XML.
    4. Import the source and target XSDs in the IR's External Definitions
    5. Zip each XSLT mapping (.xls) and import it into the IR's Imported Archives
    6. Reference the XSL mappings in the Interface Mapping

  • Creating acscii control file from binary control file

    Hi,
    We are in the process of cloning DB on a different server from cold backups taken on source server. The DBA forgot to take the backup of control file by dumping to trace using command
    alter database backup controlfile to trace;
    We have the cold backup files of control files.
    Is there was to create ascii control file from those binary control file?
    I am wondering if we can use any binary file editors like emacs to do this
    Is there any other way to clone it without backup of control file?
    TIA

  • Settings when using mp4 files from Samsung GS3

    Hi,
    Does anyone know the settings I should select when creating a New PE10 Project and using mp4 files from a Samsung Galaxy S3 mobile phone?
    Thanks

    Ms Spielberg
    If you are using video files from the Samsung Galaxy S3, from what I have read, it offers 1080p up to 30, that being 1920 x 1080 @ 30 progressive frames per second. Is that correct? If so, please consider.
    The project preset should match the properties of your source media. In setting the Premiere Elements 10 Windows project preset (new project dialog), the choice of one of the FIip project presets range from frames sizes 640 x 480 to 1280 x 720. So, they would not be a match.
    Consequently, I would ask you to consider the project preset if your source media from this Samsung Galaxy S3 are as I have read 1080p30.
    NTSC (or PAL as the case may be)
    DSLR
    1080p
    DSLR 1080p30 or DSLR 1080p30 @ 29.97
    In Premiere Elements 10 after you set the project preset, then you import your media with Get Media.
    a. If you can connect your phone to the computer, you could explore Get Media/Flip/AVCHD/Cameras, Phones or Removable Drive as I think SG is suggesting.
    or
    b. If your phone files are saved to a hard drive location, then Get Media/Files and Folders.
    Are you also asking for export suggestions?
    Thanks.
