Creating video for a 9:16 screen (standard display mounted vertically)

Is it possible to use FCEHD to produce a video that will be shown on a 16:9 screen that is being mounted vertically. I'm assuming I'd want to reverse the pixel numbers....i.e. swap width for height, etc. Can I do this? Is there another approach? (The screen itself will rotate the image it gets...but I will have to provide it a 9:16 image.)

Wow, interesting question.
The only way I can imagine this being done is just having the material shot and editing in whatever 16:9 format you are planning on using, keeping in mind that it will be oriented 90' differently. It will look all crooked on screen as you are editing, but knowing that the display monitor will be rotated, it will be "righted" at that point. That might be tricky to do with the eye, but I see no other way that it can be done.

Creating video for web

Hi,
I'm currently putting together some videos in FCP for our new website. I've used FCP a lot for creating video for DVD's and exporting to .mov but converting to flash is relatively new to me.
I am using the On2 Flix FLV exporter to export direct from FCP to a 704 x 396 flv file.
Can someone clarify how I should set up my sequence in FCP to get the best quality results? All the source material is DV PAL for video (720 x 576 anamorphic) and PNG-24 for still images (in this case a background which I will input text over in FCP). Should I be setting all my sequences to 704 x 396, and what pixel aspect ratio should I use seeing as it is for flash/web use?
Also, in the Sequence Settings dialog box what should I set as the Compressor settings (dv pal/h.264 etc) as flv does not appear as an option?
Thanks
Jack

Thanks guys. So if I am to carry on working in the standard DV-Pal sequence I'm wondering what to do when importing graphics. I have been given a psd which contains a title screen that will be placed before each video. The psd has been given to me at 704 x 396 - the size of the final delivered FLV rather than the DV Pal sequence. When I bring this image into FCP and render it makes the image look pixelated/blocky (I'm exporting from Photoshop as a PNG-24). What is the proper way to export graphics for use in Final Cut? Should I re-size the image to match the sequence or bring it in at 704x396 and have Final Cut resize it?
Thanks

Creating videos for web with QuickTime Pro

HI,
I need to create videos for my web site that are compatible with the Ipod. However, I also need to create a file that can be played on a PC, without requiring the use to install a plug in (e.g. Flash or similar).
Does QuickTime Pro have anything that can help me produce a video that is compatible with both the Ipod and the standard PC web browser?
Thanks very much,
Jamie Dolan

Every video format will require a browser plug-in be used.

Creating Video for HTML5 on MacPro

Hello Everyone, How would I go about creating video for the Ipad on a Macpro? I use to use flash but I guess I had to go to HTML5. Any good programs anyone out there recommends?
Thanks

You can use iMovie. If you "Export using QuickTime" (Share menu in iMovie '09) and use the Apple TV preset it should work just fine. You can, I believe, also use the "Export Movie" -> HD preset if you have HD-quality content; the iPad can play up to 720p.
Regards.
P.S. There is as of yet no defined standard for video codecs in HTML5. Just for the sake of accuracy.

Cannot export video clips. Get message: "unable to create video for export"

Cannot export video clips from iPhoto to Finder folder. Export fails with message "unable to create video for export: "
The video clips play correctly within iPhoto.
Software: iPhoto version 9.5 on OSX 10.9
Hardware: Retina Macbook Pro 2.3 i7 8GB

Yes. I have 3,184 video clips in this library. I tested Reveal function by randomly selecting individual video clips and in every case the Reveal in Finder function worked correctly. I also tested this on random selections of groups of video clips and, again, the Reveal function worked correctly in every case.
Some more info that may be relevant:
I have multiple iPhoto libraries. My "main" library is very large (~30,000 files) and is located on an external hard drive (2TB WD) which is connected via USB.
The problem reported here is occuring on that "main" library. I have not opened any other iPhoto library since installing the new release.
While the File>Export function does not work, I have been able to simply copy and paste video clips from iPhoto library to a folder on Mac hard drive. It appears that meta data is copying correctly along with the video content.
I am able to import these copied video clips to iMovie. Meta data is imported along with the video content and I'm able to perform iMovie editing functions on those clips without any problems.
In summary, the File>Export function still fails with the message "unable to create video for export." Copying video clips and pasting them to interim folder seems to be a viable workaround enabling me to extract video clips from iPhoto for import to iMovie. I will run additional tests to see if I can find a pattern to the video files that are being rejected by iPhoto Export function.

Creating video for YouTube - which user settings?

I've seen a lot of posts about converting video for posting on YouTube but I can't find any information on the best sequence setting to CREATE video for posting on YouTube. I'm making a 30-45 second promotional video that will be entirely made up of stills/text and music, so I'm just going to be doing moves on jpegs. YouTube videos are now displayed 640.360, but I can't find a FCP sequence preset that will allow me to create a video at that size. Am I missing something? Should I just create it at some other widescreen setting then convert it down? Trying to keep this is simple as possible -- do not want to have to render every clip in the timeline.
thanks,
p

Am I missing something?
Make your original video in one of the codecs supported by Final Cut Pro. You will find a list of possible codecs in the Easy Setup menu.
do not want to have to render every clip in the timeline...
Your source material is JPEG images. While they can be imported, they don't use a codec of their own. They will have to be rendered.

'Music' displays but won't play. Settings appear correct and iPhone is selected for output. Startup screen intermittently displays with the lower pause/play volume bar for no clear reason..... developed at the same time as play failure. Ideas????

'Music' displays but won't play. Settings appear correct and iPhone (3G) is selected for output. Startup screen intermittently displays with the lower pause/play volume bar for no clear reason..... developed at the same time as play failure. Ideas????

Thank you for the replies.
Appearane of 'Music' functions (I>> > II <<I, plus volume slider) on the lock/log in screen (when first turning on the iPhone) thus far seems without pattern, i.e. regardless of which if any applications are up in the background, and indeed even when all have been quit.
All visual aspects of 'Music' appear normal after launch including the title scroll across the top in vertical mode. However, while pressing play (>) converts the play (>) icon to pause (II), selected song does not play and the elapsed time bar (upper end between the track count and the repeat/shuffle icons) remains stationary at 0:00 or at any point to which it is dragged. When using home sharing this same problem persists regardless of what output is selected.
Hope that may prompt a thought somewhere.

Recomended configurations for creating video for the web

I'm working on a project creating video segments for the web (no plans for broadcast of DVD) and I'm looking for opinions on the most efficient way to use FCP to do this. We are shooting with an HD camera with a green screen and composting a couple of additional layers of Motion graphics and we found that the render times were really long. I'm looking for ways to mitigate this, on thing we did was switch from shooting in 1080p to 720p. We also tried shooting at 24fps instead of the broadcast 60fps and that cut our render time by a good percentage. Since the final product is going to be 640 by 360 at 15fps it seems like a good trade off but are there any down sides I'm not thinking of.
I was also wondering if there might be an advantage to working at the size of the final product, if the FCP sequence were 640 by 360 would there be any advantages in terms of render times and what might the disadvantages would be.
This is my first semi-professional project, just been a hobbyist up until now so any advice is appreciated.

those simple steps reduced the number of pixels in each frame from about a million to 750,00, about 25%; and you reduced the number of frames from 30 or 60 to 24 or 48. So, yeah, your rendering times are going down. If your Motion project has ten HD layers you're saving tons of processing.

Absolutely. But you engaged the project without knowing how you were going to accomplish anything; implies your plans for improving workflow will be similarly incomplete. We all got by with NTSC and plan ol' DV for decades. The web is a low end distribution system, not a theatrical viewing experience. You can force your viewers to download a huge file and watch it on their TVs or you can open it up in weensy teeny window on their iPhones.

Purists will be correct in telling you better source footage results in better uploads. I will tell you that's true but it's academic. Your realworld needs are based on your web upload, not your plans to archive high def footage for future exploitation.
Here's what I'd do: Work backwards. Figure out what your upload needs are--exactly. Research Compressor and other compression systems to determine how you are going to process your project to get the target output. Now decide what format that software wants to process to create the best results. then figure out how you want to provide that input for the compression application. then figure out what the tradeoffs are for your original footage in terms of your camera resources, your skills with the camera, and your mistaken impression that effects and chromakey should be fast.

What is the best way to create videos for my website?

Hi,
I'm a public speaking coach in Sydeny Australia. I've started a blog and want to include videos to my newsletter subscribers. I do not want to use YouTube, because I want to only share these videos to people on my list.
What is the best way / program to create good videos for my customers? I think I might need to upload these videos to my server and only share the links...? Any suggestions welcome.
Thank you
Trevor Ambrose

Trevor:
This may be more information than you asked for, but here goes:
Get a Samsung S10 Video camera (under $400) and a Zoom H4n Professional audio recorder. Get Adobe Production Premium CS5. The camera shoots 1920 x 1080 square pixel in a better quality than a $6000 Panasonic P2 from 4 years ago. The downside, the audio from the Samsung is poor. That's why I recommend the Zoom H4n. On the Premiere timeline, you simply align the waveform of the video with the higher quality wave from the H4n. You can buy a medium sized fold up greenscreen and place any background behind your talent. CS5 has Ultra built in, so you can easily key out the green right on the Premiere timeline revealing a nice background of your choice.
I would design a web page based upon your current website's look and feel that will be a template for your videos. You export your finished video from the Premiere timeline as an f4v. I would recommend 16x9 widescreen and use the Flash preset of "Web Large Widescreen". You can also specify a "Fullscreen" button on the video's controller. The quality is so good that the video will look good even when your client watches it full screen. You import the video into Flash CS5 using the same document dimensions as your video size. You create a Flash template and "Publish" your Flash movie TO your template. Then all that is necessary is to upload all of the associated Web ready files to your server via FTP or Dreamweaver. This workflow streamlines the process and saves hours of fiddling around.
As far as the Web page goes that has your video, give the pages an HTML name like; vid0096hvc.html and use the Robots No Follow tag:
<META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW">
This is the next best thing to having a client log-in and works in a setting where people aren't paying
to see the video, but you still don't want them plastered all over the internet.

Steps to create tabstrip for subscreen in selection screen

hi,
can let me know the steps taken to create subscreen in selection screen and put in tabstrip?
i need to have 3 screens. 1000 being the tabstrip, 2000 being first subscreen and 3000 being the second subscreen.
i have the abap code but i do not know the steps to create especially 1000 screen.
for 2000 and 3000, once i activated the program, these 2 screens added but i do not know where can i create the 1000 screen.
also, should i use wizard to create tabstrip?
please advise. thanks

Assigning a Subscreen Area to a Tab Title
You must assign a subscreen area to each tab title. There are two ways of doing this:
Paging in the SAPgui
You need to assign a separate subscreen area to each tab title, and define the function codes of the tab titles with type P (local GUI function). In the screen flow logic, you call all the subscreens in the PBO event. This means that all of the tab pages reside locally on the SAPgui.
When the user chooses a tab title, paging takes place within the SAPgui. In this respect, the tabstrip control behaves like a single screen. In particular, the PAI event is not triggered when the user chooses a tab title, and no data is transported. While this improves the performance of your tabstrip control, it also has the negative effect that when the user does trigger the PAI event, all of the input checks for all of the subscreens are performed. This means that when the user is working on one tab page, the input checks may jump to an unfilled mandatory field on another page.
Local paging at the SAPgui is therefore most appropriate for screens that display data rather than for input screens.
Paging on the Application Server
One subscreen area is shared by all tab titles and called in the PBO event. You define the function codes of the individual tab titles without a special function type. When the user chooses a tab page, the PAI event is triggered, and you must include a module in your flow logic that activates the appropriate tab page and assigns the correct subscreen to the subscreen area.
Since the PAI event is triggered each time the user chooses a tab title, this method is less economical for the application server, but the input checks that are performed only affect the current tab page.
Procedure in Either Case
You create the subscreen areas within the tabstrip area. You assign the subscreen areas to one or more tab titles in the Screen Painter by selecting one or more titles. You can also assign a subscreen area to a tab title in the tab title attributes by entering the name of the subscreen area in the Reference field attribute.
The procedure for the alphanumeric Screen Painter is described under Creating Tabstrip Controls.
If you are paging at the SAPgui, create a subscreen area for each tab title. If you are paging at the application server, select all tab titles and create a single subscreen area. The subscreen areas may not cover the top line of the tab area. However, within a tab area, more than one subscreen area can overlap.
Programming the Flow Logic
In the flow logic, all you have to do by hand is include the correct subscreens. The screen flow and data transport to the ABAP program is the same as for normal subscreens. There are two ways of programming the screen flow logic, depending on how you have decided to page through the tabstrip control.
Paging in the SAPgui
When you page in the SAPgui, you must include a subscreen for each subscreen area:
PROCESS BEFORE OUTPUT.
CALL SUBSCREEN: <area1> INCLUDING [<prog 1>] <dynp 1>,
                  <area2> INCLUDING [<prog 2>] <dynp 2>,
                  <area3> INCLUDING [<prog 3>] <dynp 3>,
PROCESS AFTER INPUT.
CALL SUBSCREEN: <area1>,
                  <area2>,
                  <area3>,
Paging on the Application Server
When you page on the application server, you only have to include a subscreen for the one subscreen area:
PROCESS BEFORE OUTPUT.
CALL SUBSCREEN <area> INCLUDING [<prog>] <dynp>.
PROCESS AFTER INPUT.
CALL SUBSCREEN <area>.
Handling in the ABAP Program
Before you can use a tabstrip control in your ABAP program, you must create a control for each control in the declaration part of your program using the following statement:
CONTROLS <ctrl> TYPE TABSTRIP.
where <ctrl> is the name of the tabstrip area on a screen in the ABAP program. The control allows the ABAP program to work with the tabstrip control. The statement declares a structure with the name <ctrl> . The only component of this structure that you need in your program is called ACTIVETAB.
Use in the PBO event
Before the screen is displayed, you use the control to set the tab page that is currently active. To do this, assign the function code of the corresponding tab title to the component ACTIVETAB:
<ctrl>-ACTIVETAB = <fcode>.
When you page at the SAPgui, you only need to do this once before the screen is displayed. This initializes the tabstrip control. The default active tab page is the first page. After this, the page activated when the user chooses a tab title is set within SAPgui.
When you page on the application server, you must assign the active page both before the screen is displayed for the first time, and each time the user pages. At the same time, you must set the required subscreen screen.
You can suppress a tab page dynamically by setting the ACTIVE field of table SCREEN to 0 for the corresponding tab title.
Use in the PAI event
In the PAI event, ACTIVETAB contains the function code of the last active tab title on the screen.
When you page in the SAPgui, this allows you to find out the page that the user can currently see. When you page at the application server, the active tab page is controlled by the ABAP program anyway.
The OK_CODE field behaves differently according to the paging method:
Paging in the SAPgui
When you page in the SAPgui, the PAI event is not triggered when the user chooses a tab title, and the OK_CODE field is not filled. The OK_CODE field is only filled by user actions in the GUI status or when the user chooses a pushbutton either outside the tabstrip control or on one of the subscreens.
Paging on the application server
If you are paging at the application server, the PAI event is triggered when the user chooses a tab title, and the OK_CODE field is filled with the corresponding function code.
To page through the tabstrip control, you must assign the function code to the ACTIVETAB component of the control:
<ctrl>-ACTIVETAB = <ok_code>.
This statement overwrites the function code of the last active tab page with that of the new tab title. At the same time, you must ensure that the correct subscreen is inserted in the subscreen area.
Otherwise, tabstrip controls are handled like normal subscrens in ABAP programs, that is, the ABAP program of a subscreen screen must contain the dialog modules called from the flow logic of the subscreen.
Examples

The next screen (statically defined) for screen 100 is itself. It has the following layout:
The screen contains a tabstrip area called MYTABSTRIP with three tab titles PUSH1, PUSH2 and PUSH3. The function codes have the same name, and all have the function type P. One of the subscreen areas SUB1 to SUB3 is assigned to each tab title. The pushbutton has the name BUTTON and the function code OK.
In the same ABAP program, there are three subscreen screens 110 to 130. Each of these fits the subscreen area exactly. The layout is:
The screen flow logic for screen 100 is as follows:
PROCESS BEFORE OUTPUT.
MODULE STATUS_0100.
CALL SUBSCREEN: SUB1 INCLUDING SY-REPID '0110',
                  SUB2 INCLUDING SY-REPID '0120',

CALL SUBSCREEN: SUB1,

                  SUB3.
MODULE USER_COMMAND.
The screen flow logic of subscreens 110 to 130 does not contain any module calls.
When you run the program, a screen appears on which the second tab page is active, since the program sets the ACTIVETAB component of the structure MYTABSTRIP to PUSH2 before the screen is displayed. The user can page through the tabstrip control without the PAI event being triggered. One of the three subscreens is included on each tab page.
When the user chooses Continue, the PAI event is triggered, and an information message displays the function code of the tab title of the page that is currently active.

    ENDCASE.
ENDIF.
ENDMODULE.
The statically-defined next screen for screen 100 is itself, and its layout is the same as in the above example. However, the function codes of the three tab titles have the function type <blank> and they all share a single subscreen area SUB.
The same subscreen screens 110 to 130 are defined as in the last example.
The screen flow logic for screen 100 is as follows:
PROCESS BEFORE OUTPUT.
MODULE STATUS_0100.
CALL SUBSCREEN SUB INCLUDING SY-REPID NUMBER.
PROCESS AFTER INPUT.
MODULE CANCEL AT EXIT-COMMAND.
CALL SUBSCREEN SUB.
MODULE USER_COMMAND.
In this example, the program includes a subscreen screen in the subscreen area SUB dynamically during the PBO event.
The screen flow logic of subscreens 110 to 130 does not contain any module calls.
This example has the same function as the previous example, but the paging within the tabstrip control is implemented on the application server. Each time the user chooses a tab title, the function code from the OK_CODE field is assigned to the ACTIVETAB component of structure MYTABSTRIP. At the same time, the variable NUMBER is filled with the screen number of the subscreen that has to be displayed in the subscreen area SUB of the tabstrip control

Creating Video for Flash 7 in CS3

I have a client base that has Flash Version 7 (don't know why
they dont upgrade but I was told I had to work with Flash 7 as a
standard)
I am trying to publish a Flash video (.flv file) to run on
Flash 7 or above using CS3. Would anyone have any step by step
instructions on how to accomplish this? I am using the Mac version
of CS3. When I tried to do it, the video would not play in 7 and
would ask me to load Version 9.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

hmm.. stupid me..
You can't use the FLVPlayback for Flash 7 since it wasn't
available at that time. you need to use the MediaDisplay or create
your own player using a videobject. As far as I remember the video
object was already available at that time. If you don't know how to
create a videoplayer using the videoobject you can have a look at
this tutorial I've wrote a while ago.

Creating Video for iPod

Followed the steps from the tutorial - exporting a mpeg video to "Movie to iPod (320x240)" and created a m4v video. Problem is two fold, first it has no sound, secondly I dragged the new video into the iTunes library and it shows up there and perform the update but the iPod does not display Videos in the main menu, am I missing something? Use is on a iPod+hp 30GB product #PS492AA

QT does not support the export of sound from mpeg-1 or mpeg-2 video files: QT Mpeg Limitations
You can overcome this limitation by using this freeware Windows program to convert the mpeg-1 to uncompressed avi format. QT will be able to read that format and will export both sound and video from it. Only problem may be that it creates very large files. That is not an issue for short things like music videos but any mpeg over a few minutes may swamp your hard drive.
If length/file size is not a problem, try it. VirtualDub
Open the mpeg-1 in VDub, go to the File menu and use Save As Avi. It will by default use uncompressed avi sound and video.
I can't help you with the iPod main menu issue. Maybe someone elso will contribute a solution.

Creating Video for Internet Viewing

Hi
I am wanting to create short videos (of up to 10 mins) and upload them to my website. Can anyone advise on the following questions:
1. What's the best format for online viewing?
2. What can I do whilst exporting the video in FCE to create a file which downloads quickly but doesn't compromise quality?
3. How would the answers to the above differ if I were to use HD instead of SD?
Many thanks in advance.

MPEG and H.264 codec (supported by quicktime for mac or windows) are great.
May be you web hosting provider has some spec and restriction (about size and bandwith) that you have to take in count. Ask him about those limits. There are also youtube, vimeo and other free service.
2. What can I do whilst exporting the video in FCE to create a file which downloads quickly but doesn't compromise quality?
That's the graal of compression. Different content involve different compression settings. Frame size, data rate, level of compression, audio format, rapid moving subjects, etc. That are many factors to take in account. Try by yourself with 1 minute sequence to test the result.
Look at those links to get more infos:

HD is around 5 times the pixel count than DV, so their final size is larger than SD. HD content reduced to SD smaller frame size give better result that SD at SD frame size.
