Export compression settings for mov upload to web

When exporting from FCP for an .mov on the web, what should the compression setting be? I'd like to have a 320x240 QT mov with good quality that doesn't take forever to load. I've tried Sorrenson 3 settings, but a 20 second video clip is 38 mb. Please advise. Thanks.

In addition to what the good Captain has said already, may I also suggest dropping the frame rate to 15 or 12 frames.
Also, try using a Quality of Medium (or less) and see what kind of performance (or quality drop) you're getting.
Although it's fairly old at this point (because it was done prior to QT7), check out this KenStone.Net article for a good breakdown of the trade-offs that need to be made when exporting for the Web. Feel free to extrapolate for use with QT7...

Hello All...
Back after a brief absence, things look a little bit different.
I'm trying to take a 16 minute mini dv video and compress it for use on the web. I'm interested in any suggestions you may have on settings for the video and audio tracks. I've tried using Sorenson 3 (15 frames, key frames set to automatic, 320 x 240) for video and IMA 4:1 (mono) for audio. The resulting video looked great but the file size came in at about 255 Mb.
Thanks!

Thank you for the replies. Everyone was correct about the jack, interface, and phasing problems. I have been unplugging my motu audio interface and then using headphones at work. I have not changed any detailed audio output settings in logic. When I read that the jack might be a problem I tried switching headphones. This actually helped. I am using dre-beats headphones and they seem to be having issues with the mac/jack-(the phasing/panning problems. I can use these headphones with other devices but not the mac. I have to use ipod ear buds and the phasing seems fixed. Hopefully this information is helpful to someone else.
If anyone knows how to correct this issue please let me know its difficult to know what my final mixes are going to sound like and I have had to keep bouncing everything into i-tunes- sync to ipod and then listen in my car radio.

Correct settings for editing videos in web format and Mov Export

Under Premiere CS3 it was possible to create a project based upon web resolutions i.e 1024x768 and after editing export it as a simple .mov file. Under CS4 this seems to have been totally removed and only video dimensions appertaining to the TV or Film are available with no reference to web resolutions at all.
I tried to open up a project file that I saved in Premiere CS3 in CS4 but this just results in the preview being blurred. If anyone has information on how to import a movie at 1024x768 into Premiere and edit it and then just export as a basic .mov file at the same size (1024x768) I would be very grateful, I have spent hours trying to work this out.

Dave,
What are the specs of your source footage? The more detail, the better.
That is what you will set your Project/Sequence to. For odd Frame Size and other irregularities, you will need to be in Desktop Mode and set everything according to your source footage. That's why I asked for details on what you are Importing. The format/CODEC will be important. If you do not know, then G-Spot will be your friend and tell you.
Good luck,
Hunt

Best settings for .mov files on a Data CD or DVD ?

Hi,
I have a series of sequences in FCP. I want to export them as .mov files and .wmv flies to be played off a data CD or DVD. They are essentially talking heads with a few cut away shots about 5 min each.
I'm finding that when I save them as "high" quality .mov & .wmv files through "Export / Quicktime Compression", they don't play smoothly off the CD. Compression too high I guess?
Can someone recommend some settings for me? Somewhere to start and I can tweak... I'd like to keep the viewing window as large as possible. Some of the streaming settings are too small.
I have Flip4Mac installed for making the .wmv files. Suggestions there are welcome too.
Cheers,
P

Nevermind.
I just found out Snow Leopard can only write HFS+ on CD and DVD for data.
I have a utility called "Burn" that is freeware and it lets me choose the filesystem - including Joliet and hybrid.

Compression settings for H.264

Can anyone recommend some settings for making making H.264 video intended for delivery on the web at 640x380?
Thanks.

Heya Rick,
So I was looking at the H.264 settings in Compressor and it would seem as though the highest bitrate is 1500 kps so guess you can't do bit rate between 2000 and 2500 k/bits like another poster recommended by using Compressor for Apple Devices settings. Also there isn't much control over the audio of the h.264 file in Compressor whereas QT conversion from FCP allows you to select a mono audio file with a lower khz rate and render quality.
The difference between selecting stereo vs. mono will be the difference between 1/2 or twice the filesize for your audio file which will absolutely affect your total filesize but make little to no difference in your viewed file intended for web viewing. Take a look at a standalone Stereo track AAC 44.100 kHz 192 kbps that is 5 mins long and you're looking at about 5 MB file just for the audio!!! Cut that to mono and drop the frequency and bitrate and that 5 mb audio file will be about 1MB.
I have always used QT conversion from FCP and have only just now had the opportunity to look at the h.264 settings in Compressor and judging from initial impressions I would go with QT conversion from FCP.
For the video you mention I would just go with export using QT conversion from FCP. For video settings use automatic keyframes with an automatic datarate with quality set to Medium. Best quality multi-pass encode. For sound settings use Linear PCM Mono channel 32 khz rate and Faster Quality render setting. That should give you a nice, small file size that will look and sound good enough for sit down interview video between 3-5 mins. in length.
Also remember that the h.264 can be used with a Flash player instead of QT player so those without Quicktime can view the file without having to install the QT player. You can use something like the JW Player from http://LongTailvideo.com or simply change the extension of the compressed h.264 to .flv and use it with any Flash Player above 9.0

Compression settings for G3 playback

Greetings, I'm using EyeTV export to convert recorded clips to QT movies. Although I'm working on a G4, the QT movies will be played on a G3 iMac. I have discoverd altready that the default compression settings create a movie that the G3 can't handle (it jumps frame by frame). It is suggested that I try other compression settings. I would like to, but I don't know anything about this subject.
For reference, The default settings for export to QT movie:
type MPEG 4 video (there are a lot of other options)
frame rate 29.97 fps
compressor quality high (on a slider from least to best)
data rate automatic (it can be restricted to some kbits/sec instead)
Please can someone suggest which settings I might change and in which direction to achieve G3 playback. Video quality does not need to be great, I accept that there is a tradeoff.

Thanks. After some experimenting, I found that export as Quicktime movie as H 263 seems to play on the G3 with good video quality.

Best export format settings for mac

Hi,
I have a mac OS Lion 10.7.2 and Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5. I'm new to premiere pro and video editions and have just finished my family's vacation video clip edition, that contains photos and videos.
I have tried several export format settings, but the only satisfying one was MPEG2-DVD with preset "Match Source Attributes (Highest Quality)". The problem was that it seems to be specific for DVD, that's why it was generated two separated files, a m2v for video and a wav for audio.
I would like to play it on my mac and I couldn't do it with the players I have installed: QuicK Time didn't run it and VLC ran without audio.
I have 4 questions:
Is there a player that can play both video and audio? Or is it just for DVD purpose?
If not, what would be the best export format settings to have a HD 720p video with best quality? All the other settings produced very low quality videos, even in very huge size! I have tried flv, mpeg, mov...
Do I need any specific codec for it?
I have already installed perian codec. Wouldn't it be possible to export for AVI format? Why doesn't it show on my format options?
I have searched many forums and didn't find the solution yet!
Does anybody have any suggestion?
Thanks a lot, Guilherme

Hello guys,
I've created another sequence to build my video. Now I am using a AVCHD 1080p30. My video contains photos and videos. The videos are 720p, but my pictures have very high resolution, 3968x2232. I won't edit them because there are lot of pictures. So, my question is: What would be the best format for this sequence? mp4? mpg? mpeg? mov? I thought that they are very similar! Are there big quality differences between them? Size is not a problem, but if the formats don't make big differences on the final product, the smaller one could be sufficient?
Any tips?

Compression settings for iPods?

I have some native 640x480 .mov files that my client wants me to make available for download from their web site so that their clients can load them on their video capable iPods.
What are the best settings/format for me to use in Compressor?

Open the settings and put ipod into the search filed, you'll see the two presets ready to go.
From the compressor manual:
H.264 Workflows for iPod and Apple TV
The efficiency and quality of H.264 creates a number of options for iPod and Apple TV
video producers:
Â Compressor includes two video sizes specifically designed for playback on an iPod: iPod
320 (QVGA) and iPod 640 (VGA). Both sizes create output media files that are
compatible for playing on an iPod, and both will look good on the display of the iPod.
Â As long as you intend the output media files to be viewed on the iPod itself, you
can use the iPod 320 encoder size, which produces files that are about one half the
size of the iPod 640 encoder size.
Â If you expect the output media files to be played on larger displays, whether in
iTunes or on a monitor connected to an iPod, you should use the iPod 640 encoder
size with its higher quality.
Â If you have assigned chapter markers to the video using the Preview window, iTunes
will automatically use the first marker as the poster frame. If you assigned an image
to any markers in Compressor, the first marker with an image becomes the poster
frame in iTunes. You can change the poster frame in iTunes if necessary. See the
iTunes help for more information. See “Adding Chapter or Podcast Markers to a Clip”
on page 300 for more information about adding chapter markers in Compressor.
Â The Apple TV HD encoder size produces video files that are about four times the size
of the iPod 640 encoder size. These are not compatible with iPod playback and may
not play smoothly on older Macintosh computers.

Structure inDesign document and export as XML for use in the web

Hello everyone,
I just recently started using inDesign and I am fascinated by its possibilities! I use it for a project where a finished inDesign layout that is used for a printed publication is now supposed to be transformed for implementing it on a web site. My job is to export the inDesign document as an XML file. After massive reading the last weeks I'm quite familiar with the structuring and tagging in inDesign. Though there's some issues I do not understand. Your precious advice would be of highest meaning to me
The programmer who will later use my XML output for the web-transformation needs the document structured in different levels like "Root > Chapter > Subchapter > Text passage / table". I already structured the document with tags like title, text passage, table, infobox,... but the structure is just linear, putting one item following to another.
How can I structure the document with reoccuring tags that enable me to identify the exact position of an item in the document's structure? So that I can say for example "text passage X" is located in chapter 4, subchapter 1. This has to be done because the document is supposed to be updated later on. So maybe a chapter gets modified and has to be replaced, but this replacement is supposed to be displayed.
I hope my problem becomes clear! That's my biggest issue for now. So for any help I'd be very thankful!

Our print publications are created in InDesign CS5 for Mac then the text is exported to RTF files then sent to an outside company to be converted to our XML specifications for use by our website developers. I would like to create a workflow in which our XML tags are included in the InDesign layouts and then export the XML from the layouts.
Some more detail about what kind of formatting is necessary might be helpful.
I know that IDML files contain the entire layout in XML format. Is it a good idea to extract what we need from IDML, using the already-assigned tags?
Well, if you want to export the whole document, it's the only reasonable approach.
We use a workflow system such that each story is a seperate InCopy document, stored in ICML format (Basically a subset of IDML). Our web automation uses XSLT to convert each story into HTML for use on our web site; it also matches it up with external metadata so it knows what is a headline and what is not, etc.. It is not exactly hassle free, and every once in a while someone uses a new InDesign feature that breaks things (e.g., our XSLT has no support for paragraph numbering, so numbered paragraphs show up without their numbers).
You could do the same thing with with IDML, you'd just have to pick out each story, but that's small potatoes compared to all the XSL work you're going to have to do.
On the other hand, there may be better approaches if you're not going to export the whole document. For instance, you could use scripting to export each story as an RTF file, and then you could convert the RTF files into HTML using other tools.

Exporting all settings for Outlook Desktop so that they can be imported into Outlook

Hi there,
I was wondering whether all settings for Outlook Desktop can be exported so that they can be imported into Outlook i.e. .psts, .osts, .pabs, .oabs, .dats, .xmls, .nk2s, .rwzs, .rtfs, .txts, .htms, .dics, .ofts, .srss and .msgs. My Managing Director's Wife is
unsubscribing from Office 365 in order to use Office Professional 2013 I presume or 2010 perhaps. Your help would be much appreciated.
Kind regards,
RocknRollTim
P.S. I was redirected by a user off the Office 365 Community Forum.

Hi,
As per the information and details provided by you, in Outlook, there is not any way to backup Outlook account setting because in all Outlook versions the account settings are kept inside the window registry under this key:
• HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows Messaging Subsystem\Profiles
So if you want to create backup of your Outlook account setting, you should have to export that key from your registry and then import it to your new computer.
To backup Outlook Account setting follow these steps: -
1. First, go to the Start menu and then at the Run box, type regedit and press Enter.
2. Under the registry editor right click to Export the Profiles key found inside this location in the registry:
• HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows Messaging Subsystem\
• e.g: “HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows Messaging Subsystem\Profiles”
3. In Outlook 2013 right click to Export the Profile key found under this location in the registry:
• HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Outlook\
• e.g: “HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Outlook\Profiles key”
4. Specify the Destination Location and File Name then press Save.
Correct me if the information that I am having is wrong. I hope this will be helpful for you.
Thanks and regards

Best Compression Settings for Internet - jagged lines

Hi all,
interested in seeing what people think the best compression settings are from FCE HD to Quicktime. I have a 2 minute video to compress which needs to go on the web. Attempts so far have resulted in jagged edges/lines on any footage which is moving. Locked off shots look great though. I'm trying to keep file size to under 10MB which shouldn't be a problem.
Any help or advice will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Compression settings for 4 hour video

I am trying to compress a 4 hour and 23 minute video but i can not find the settings to do this. The largest allowed time I have been able to achieve is 174 minutes. What settings should I use to make this DVD?
Thanks for the help.

There are no settings for a 4 and a half hour video in Compressor. You will have to create one by drastically lowering the bitrate. Be aware that you will need to burn to a Dual Layer DVD. DVD-R's will typically only hold 2 hours of decently encoded video. Even with a Dual Layer DVD the bitrate (espically using Compressor) might be too low to get decent quality and still fit.

Trying to figure out compression settings for existing video to re-use

So, I had a 3 minute video that, at settings according to the "info" panel" for it is at 720x480, .264 compression setting, and small or big looks great-- I got the file to under 20 megs.
Now, after messing with NTSC settings and whatnot, I tried bringing it back to the original settings with a recut version of the same length, no extra bells and whistles in the video, and yet, I can't get it under 250 megs.
Is there a way to find out the specific settings for it beyond the simple file info window?
Also-- does key frames at a low setting (24-30) affect it greatly?
I just need to get it back to that little size without sacrificing sound or quality-- I did it once, i need to do it again.

...anyone?

...best compression settings for a 12minute dvd

...other than 90 minute preset... and would it yield a better video? And what are the best settings for large screen television? The video is standard definition but anamorphic 720x480. Thanks

You can raise the average bit rate to 6.8 and max bit rate to 8. I use this setting a lot. Below is the bit budget worksheet I use. Though it tops out at 7.8 for max bit rate, it's ok to go to 8 in Compressor.
http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/bitbudget.html
As far as the large screen question, I believe you are stuck at 720 x 480 because that is what standard def allows.
