Emailing/exporting video at reduced size?

Videos from my Micro 4/3 camera are huge in size. I like using Aperture to import them, where I keep them stored alongside my photos. But when I want to share them (MobileMe, Mail), Aperture doesn't give me any option to reduce the file size. For example, I'm trying to email or publish on MobileMe a 1-minute long clip. The size is 244 megs, way too big for either email or streaming. Is there no way to do this in Aperture? I'd hate to have to go through the hassle of sending clips to iMovie and creating projects each time I want to share a little clip....
TIA for any light you can shed.

When you use the "Export Movie" option the first setting in the export window is the codec.  Even though it says "Same as Source" all projects default to ProRes 4444, even if you have another codec in your project for one of the clips. Basicly the default, a lossless codec with Color and Alpha, this will create a much larger file.  If you want a smaller file you may need to switch to another codec from the Export menu.  Since you didn't indicate what your original format was (HDV, H.264, ProRes 422, etc) I can't tell you what setting is right, but H.264 will be smallest, but is not lossless.

  • Trouble exporting jpegs in reduced sizes from LR 5.3

    I often export images as small, low res jpegs (usually, but not always, from NEF files) for my customers' social media use.  Recently, no matter what dimensions or resolution I enter on the export page, LR still exports it a a full size jpeg.  I am using a MacBook Pro OS X 10.7.5 and subscribed to CC (PS and LR only) at the end of December although I was already using this version of LR.  How can I remedy the problem?
    Thanks!

  • How to reduce size or compress PDF files?

    Hi guys,
    Does someone knows if there is a way  to reduce the size of the PDF file with good quality even on Pictures and Scanned documents? I know the option 'export', 'quartz filter' 'reduce size', but the compression is so extrem. Many files can't not been read, the quality is so bad. Is there a additional app, software or extension that let the user play with the compression on pdf files and let it be more personalized like the dopdf V7 available for windows? i am very dissapointed with this. Please help or suggestion. I will appreciate it. Thanks

    I have used the excellent PDF Toolkit app for a while, and its preformed well. Occassionaly it makes the document into a negative image...which Im noyt sure why...
    Mathishk, im trying your online version out, and am impressed and admire the fact that you have done this.
    Well done. 
    A TRICK i use often. Once all hires images are on the designed document - and its coming in at 15-20mb, just change the link to the images so they are 'missing' then make a pdf.
    i.e 'Hi Res images' to HRes images - old'
    The screen resolution of images is still great, but file comes in at fraction of the size.
    You 'trick' the document to use screen images only. So my 18mb file comes in as 5.2mb.
    Just remember to change the images folder name back, so files relink.

  • IMovie Reduce Exported Video Size

    I am super new to iMovie. I am using iMovie 10. I added a video clip of size 90Mb in the iMovie. I did some slight editing like adding some text and an image. I exported it using the Share file option with the lowest SD quality option and the file size is more than 500Mb. I imported this 50Mb file in the iMovie again, did some editing and exported using the HD option 720p and now the exported file size is more than 1.1Gb.
    I did some searching and realized that there was an option to export it as a QuickTime movie which gives many compression options. But looks like that option was in iMovie 9 and has been removed from iMovie 10.
    Is there any way i can reduce the file size or is there any option to export the file size with minimum file size?? Thanks!

    There are less options that there were in iMovie 9 but Share to file produces a Quicktime movie and you can choose the resolution.  Obviously there is no sense in choosing a resolution higher than the original clips.  Lower qualities produce smaller files.  The other share target options are tailored to the target - the smallest movie is obtained by sharing to e-mail but of course the quality is very poor.  For details see:

  • Reducing video file/picture size

    I just upgraded to the 5 from the 4g and while the bump in quality is nice, a few MB a second when recording video is pretty staggering. I know it's suggested to convert the mov file to mp4 but is there any way to set the ipod to record in just 720 for example to save on file size? Same question applies to taking pictures, as the camera itself isn't good enough to warrant a need for pictures the size it produces it'd be much nicer to have it set to about half the default size so I can avoid resizing pictures I want to keep.

    There is no way to reduce/change the resolution of video or still photos.
    If you email them video yo can select the resolution of photos and it reduces the resolution of videos.

    Have them install Quicktime on their PC's from Apple's website, that's the easiest fix.

  • Did Lion's iTunes remove the video menu options to increase size and reduce size?

    Did Lion's iTunes remove the video menu options to increase size and reduce size?
    Is the ability to shrink or expand the video window from a menu item now really gone? 

    Itunes has not changed in Lion in this regard, you can still go to fullscreen from the menu, and use your input device to make the video window larger and smaller. does that help?

  • Email button "actual size" attaches reduced size

    I recently noticed that when I use the "email button" in iphoto to email a photo and select "actual size" it ends up creating an email with the photo at a reduced size, however this does not happen when I attach photos using the photo browser button in Apple Mail. For instance I attached a 4.5 MB image directly from iphoto using the email button the image in the email ended up being 2.3 MB even though I selected actual size. I then opened Apple Mail and composed a new message, I selected the same photo with the photo browser button, dragged and dropped it and it attached at actual size. Is there any way to attach at actual size using the iphoto email button?

    LN,
    Thanks for the info. When I email the photo via the iphoto email button and select actual size, actual size is also selected in the email and the file size is still reduced. In addition the size reduction varies from email to email. For instance if I try to send the same 4.5 MB photo from iphoto it may make it 2.3 MB in one email and 3.0 MB in another, both times actual size was selected in iphoto and the email? Any ideas? Thanks again!

  • Can you send an email with multiple photos from iPhoto in reduced size?

    I want to send an email with multiple photos attached with a reduced size. How do I accomplish this?

    Hi Igmatteson,
    If you are using regular Mac Mail, and you are on Mountain Lion, this is what I can do:
    1. Go into Mail, and start a new message
    2. At the top, you will see 4 icons - the third one over brings up the Photo Browser from iPhoto
    3. Go through your pics and select the one you want and drag it onto the mail page
    4. Once you have done that, a small bar on the right-hand side will show up that will allow you to select whether you want the image size to be small, medium, or large. Once you select a size, all photos you add will be that same size.
    Hope this works for you!
    Cheers,

  • Photo Both video (.mov) file size in Lion

    Photo Both in Lion saves videos (.mov) with double the file size of previous versions.  I have verified by looking at a 30 second video created pre-Lion (2.1mb) and a new 30 second video created post-Lion (4.1mb) on the same MacBook Air.  I have seen even more drastic file size increses on a newer MacBook Pro; more that 20mb for a video that used to be under 2mb. 
    There are no settings available in Photo Booth.  And as stated in other threads there is no method in Mail to resize a video, this option is only available for images.  The only functioning workaroud is to open the .mov file in Quicktime and then export for the web.  This is OK, but the beauty of Photobooth and the Mail button within was the ability to just quickly fire off a video.  Opening another app, exporting and then attaching to an email is no longer simple or beautiful.
    Does anyone know why the filesizes have jumped up so drastically?  More importantly, does anyone know how to get the file size of videos created in Photo Booth back under control so they can be emailed more easily?

    UPDATE:  Using any of the effects in photo booth videos greatly reduces the file size.  This seems a bit contrary to what I would expect.  Adding birds flying around my head cuts the video size in half.  Sepia cuts down to 1/3.  Black and white, the one that isnt a suprise, is less that 1/4 the file size of just plain old color.
    Why can't I just have the nice small video files that Photo Booth used to save??

  • Cannot export video's from iphoto '08

    I want to export videos in mp4 format that were imported from my camera into iphoto '08.
    The first problem is that "export..." won't work. I selected the 7 videos, then "Export...". I selected file format. However, it doesn't recognize that anything has been selected and grey's out the "Export" button.
    So, I came up with an alternate plan...burn them to a cd. I selected the same 7 videos and then "burn" section from the "share" menu. It prompts me for a cd, which I inserted. Then, I see a report that these 7 video's take 90MB of space...I hit continue and the cd is burned. However, when I look at the cd later(and I have done this twice now), the cd doesn't have any of the videos, but it does contain the 172 photo's that are in the same album. Again, I did this twice. I selected the album, then typed mp4 into the search window, then selected the 7 resulting videos. And the program was telling me it had 7 photos.
    I am VERY frustrated that I have found 2 bugs in this software. I used to be able to export video's all day long. Not good.
    Since I am complaining now, the only reason I am doing any of this is because I want to give my friends a CD with all the photos and videos from our recent trip. They have a mac...should be piece of cake. It is not, because the video's just sit in iphoto, but I can't do anything with them. I wish slide show would seemlessly integrate photo's and video in order. My Sanyo camera does this, but my Mac doesn't. I tried sending all the photo's and video's to iDVD, and it worked, but that takes hours to do all the rendering...and at the end of the day, the quality isn't as good.....
    Please help.
    Thanks,

    There are three ways (at least) to get files from the iPhoto Window.
    1. Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    2. File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    3. Show File: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
    To upload to MySpace or any site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
    This is also true for emailing with Web-based services.
    If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves. If you're willing to risk database corruption, you can restore the older functionality simply by right clicking on the iPhoto Library and choosing 'Show Package Contents'. Then simply make an alias to the folders you require and put that alias on the desktop or where ever you want it. Be aware though, that this is a hack and not supported by Apple.

  • What is the best way to email a video from iPhoto? It won't let me share a video!

    what is the best way to email a video from iPhoto? It won't let me share a video!

    Size is not the issue. In the old iPhoto you used to be able to share a video and it would compress it to fit an email friendly size. It doesn't do that anymore from iPhoto. I miss that feature. I have to export the video from iPhoto to my desktop then take into the old Quicktime 7 to share in email. Crazy.
    It shouldn't be that complicated. I shouldn't have to find a work around. I guess apple wants to put  you in a box so you have to do it "their way" via uploading to iWeb or iCloud instead of emailing video.
    I don't like those options being taken away.  While the quality may suffer by compressing for email, it is still the most direct and unconvoluted way of sharing something fairly quickly. I don't want to have to post to YouTube or Vimeo or iCloud and send a link. Just compress the video and hit send in an email and be done with it.

  • How does one email a video from iPhoto

    how does one email a video from iPhoto

    One doesn't.
    Simply, sharing video via email is not advisable.
    Many email services have an attachment limit of 20mb and some a limit of 10mb. As emails are sent through an array of relays, the effective limit is the smallest file size allowed on any of the relays.  That means that video is rarely suitable for emailing.
    Then there's the whole issue of Codecs and not all machines will have the codecs to play all videos. Plus, folks with slower connections can find it very inconvenient to download large video files.
    Finally, sharing video from iPhoto via email is not supported. All that gets you is the Movie thumbnail. If you feel you must share via email then you'll need to export the video first, and attach that. Use the File -> Export command and set the kind  to Original.

    has details of the options in the Export dialogue.
    Other than that your options include:
    Upload it to a sharing site like YouTube or Vimeo and email a link - these will allow the recipient to view the material online. That will avoid the codec issues mentioned, and the person can still download the video file if they wish.
    Upload it to sharing services like Dropbox or YouSendIt and email a link. This will require that they download the material to their machines to view.
