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 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,

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

  • 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.

  • 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:
    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.

  • 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.

    Hi(Bonjour)!

    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:

    3. How would the answers to the above differ if I were to use HD instead of SD?
    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.

  • 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.

    Wow, Michelle. You are very professional in your practice. I wish more people in my market were like you. Although, I would like to modify some of her recommendations, and add some more of my own, too.
    First off, Michelle is right. :30 is not :30;00. It's :29;15, or 29;20 for me. However, with new digital video servers and automated playback units in Master Control rooms, even the big guns like Dodge, Budweiser and so on get away with :29;29. Since switching can be done on the frame level with computer controlled stuff, the margin of error is less. However, don't push it if you don't know what they have in the control room. Stick to :29;15, or :29;20 if you feel lucky.
    Thirty seconds of bars is a must. Record thirty seconds of bars at the beginning of every tape before you shoot. It will help during capturing later. At least :10 of a slate is good. Mine is about :13 (I have a special composited slate with a huge animated countdown that moves to killer rock music). However, with a countdown ending at 2, you can't put 10 seconds of black after that. I only put two seconds. Also, make sure you put at least 10 seconds of black at the end of the spot. Slates should include the client, title, version or revision if necessary, date, length, and names of important people (like editor and producer).
    If you use a cassette to archive your finished spots, put a "dirty" version with all the graphics, and follow it with a "clean" version, which has no graphics, and the music is placed on the left channel and the voice on the right (or vice versa if desired). I archive on hard drive using those rules as well. I also archive my bins, projects and sequences. The edit system I use for commercials is not FCP, so my bins and sequences can be saved outside of the project. This is helpful because you can always recapture your footage and recreate the spot if necessary.
    This brings me to my next point. DO NOT recycle MiniDV tapes. I've found that they fail quickly. Use a new one for each client, and keep all their footage on their own tape (or tapes). Include it in your operating cost, since they're $4 each. Doing this helps you if you have hard drive problems or if you need to change a shot in a commercial you made last year. Keep in mind the tip of recording bars for thrity seconds on each tape. If you need to recapture footage that starts 4 seconds into the tape, the process is a lot harder than if it starts 34 seconds into the tape. The second option is more automatic and it will make you happy. Another good idea is to record bars after your footage for thirty seconds. That way you have a separator between shoots. As long as the timecode remains consistent, capturing will never be an issue.
    That's it for now. I'm sure I'll think of more later.

  • 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.

  • Name of movie format file for html5

    It's been a long time since I done this, but what is the name of the file format for video for HTML5? Also what is a easy format to do this?
    Thanks, Joe

    Hi Joe
    Sorry, but we need just a bit more information here.
    Do you have a Captivate project that will be used to create HTML 5 and you want to add a video to that project?
    Or do you want to simply export the Captivate project out as a video that might be played within an HTML 5 page?
    Unfortunately, when it comes to video, it's quite an "alphabet soup" or "word salad" of different things. There is no standard "format". What we have are a collection of "containers" with each container being capable of storing different kinds of video content inside. So you could have three different MP4 files and two may fail to play while one plays beautifully. It's all in the internal encoding of the video. Life with video is bizarre.
    Cheers... Rick
