Export for Internet

I can either export through FCP or compress in COMPRESSOR. I exported a QTMov through FCP that's 19gigs. Of course I can't send that through dropbox without the people freaking out.
What settings do I use to get it a decent size and keep the gigs down? I have digital movies but they're in WMV and they're about 2gigs each.
Everything I try has a tendency to lose the widescreen aspect. Even when I click on Keep original aspect widescreen.
Thanks

Export a QuickTime of your final sequence, without conversion and self-contained.
Take that exported movie into Compressor and use the pre-set for YouTube HD 720p and you should see a huge reduction in file size and the quality should hold up quite well.

  • Exporting for internet upload and email

    Hi,I have a 4minute clip which I want to export from final cut in 2 different versions.
    1. For emailing
    2. For uploading to internet (myspace,you tube etc...)
    Can anyone advice me on the best settings i can use?
    Thanks
    Danny

    Most email servers/hosts will have a 10mb limit on attachments. Four minutes squeezed down to 10mb ain't gonna be pretty.
    YouTube takes whatever you send them and automatically encodes it to Flash (with a 100mb limit).
    You're best bet would be to upload to an FTP server, then email a link to the site so that others can download it. That way you can keep it at a reasonable quality.

  • Exporting For Internet

    I have some video I want to export to put online or on myspace. What are the best options to make it small but still retain quality as best as possible? Thanks.

    Who is it for? If you know the target audience is up to date quicktime-wise the H264 codec produces some pretty amazing results given the file sizes. It is very slow to encode though. Otherwise you can't go wrong with Sorensen 3. Just turn keyframes off.

  • Exporting to 16:9 for internet

    Hi, I've shot some footage in 16:9 and when I export it as a DV Stream its playing in QT as 16:9 fine.
    However when I export it for internet as H.264 and I change the size of the video to PAL 720 x 576 16:9, when it's played back in QT it comes through as 4:3.
    Can anyone help me on this?
    Need anymore info?
    Many thanks

    Yes I've seen someone elses videos in that format on there. I'm not even getting to the stage of loading it up to Facebook as when I play it back in Quicktime Player its in the 4:3 format so I don't even bother.
    I've tried it the way you have said Tom and I can't get it in widescreen. It's fine when I export as a DV stream, but thats not suitable for uploading to the net as the files are generally too big.
    Yet again, Thanks

  • How can I export 1080i in best possible quality for internet streaming?

    Sorry, I'm not too knowledgeable about this but I have Final Cut 6.0.4 and use/captured in HD-1080i. What's the best possible way to export this in great quality for internet streaming? What dimensions should I use? Any help would be extremely appreciated. Thank you!

    ok i used h.264 main profile with 10 mbps and i am using multipass and size is 1280x720. i tried 24 and 30 key frames. quality is still lower
    iv been experimenting on a 1.5 minute video to save time.  I imported the project from imovie into fcpx and changed nothing.  looking at the file that was created by imovie for the same video it is 1280x720 and uses codecs h.264 and aac the file size is 115 mb the extension is .mov and the color profile is HD (1-1-1) and total bitrate is 10,512 kbps. and the quality is the minimum acceptable for me.
    The file i created using your settings above in compressor 4 is 118 mb and of lower quality. codecs used are h.264, aac, and Hint (not sure what hint is but noticed it isn't used with the .mov file) color prile is the same as above. total bitrate is 10,405 kbps.
    Im not arguing that compressor 4 should be able to surpass imovie but so far i have only been able to do it by making the file size rediculous (>50 gb for 30 minutes).  I created a movie that was recorded with the same camera (25 mbps) 1080p 1920x1080. imovie made this 40 minute video just under 3 gb and with the same quality as the movie i am experimenting with.
    There is a differnce between theory and practice. SO FAR THE RESULTS I AM SEEING IS THAT IMOVIE IS SUPERIOR IN QUALITY TO SIZE RATIO. imovie has very few options but the hd setting has surpassed what i have been able to do with fcpx.
    i am willing to try any settings that anyone sugests.
    personally i think i will try to export the movie at max quality then take the super large file to my windows laptop and convert to avi.  as in the past i have had much success with that format using divx. i realize that that is not the best method but i don't really want to spend hours re editing this video with imovie since the source footage is about 10 hours.
    Thanks for trying still_learning but i am afraid you are still learning.

  • What is the best way to export for use on internet?

    what is the best way to export for use on internet?

    It depends. Is this for a personal web site or for a site like YouTube, Vimeo or Facebook?
    For YouTube, Vimeo and Facebook, use Publish & Share/Computer/AVCHD using one of the YouTube presets.

  • Best Practice: Export unrendered for internet

    Hi
    As I recall, in previous versions of FCPX  it was considered best practice, at least for exports for web, to export unrendered.
    Still true? Ever true for all other export reasons?
    I want to post a rough of a film on youtube, unlisted, for a few friends to comment on.
    best
    elmer
    Btw, always seems like when I open my browser while fcpx is open, I get problems and have to delete my prefs to get back to normal. Any reason why? Just curious.

    Steve: If these are bitmaps inside a PDF that's going to be viewed on the iPad, you cannot rely on its "native resolution". Think about this: What if the original page size of this PDF is 5.5" x 8"? What if it is 20" x 32"? Which one will show the images "at their native resolution"?

  • Export mpeg-2 movie for Internet streaming

    I have QuickTime Pro 7 with the mpeg-2 playback component. My source files are in a DVD movie. I am able to play the DVD fine in Windows Media player and Real Media Player, but Quicktime is able to play only the video and there is no audio output. My objective is to convert the DVD mpeg-2 muxed videos to quicktime .mov files that are prepared for progressive playback (web streaming: fast start).
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    SriV

    get mpeg stream clip to do the video conversion to .mov

    Then use quicktime pro to ready the video for internet
    Good Luck

  • Export for QT viewing.

    I recently completed a 2-minute movie that I wanted to share over the internet. I exported using QuickTime conversion, using the standard (default) settings. The result was a 31MB file which looks fine when viewed with the QT viewer. However, I thought that a movie exported as a self-contained QT movie in DV encoding would produce a higher-quality image, so I did that, getting a 421MB file (much too large for internet sharing), which I intended to record as data on a DVD-R to send to those who want the best quality. The problem is:
    The smaller file, highly-compressed movie looks much better than the large file when played on the QT viewer! This is not what I expected. I checked the clip properties with the video files loaded into QT and verified that the MPEG file (H.264) looks better than the DV file.
    What's wrong here?

    Thanks Tom,
    I did find the setting for high quality in QT and it made a huge difference. However, I don't see a lot of difference between the DV and the MPEG versions, but this could be because the image is not complex (it's a video of the recent eclipse in Turkey) and compresses well with both codecs.

  • InDesign / Best way to export for Web?

    Hi guys,
    I did an A2 (large size) poster and now i need to have the very same image for Web Mailing on Internet. I guess it will be a 650 pixeles by 800 px.
    Which is the best way to export this content for Internet? 
    1) I notice that if i save the InDesign file to PDF even in the lowest quality the small text keeps crisp and clear while the file is very small size. Unfortunately PDF cannot be used -i think- as embedded images into a mailing list.
    2) If i export the very same InDesign file at the highest posible resolution as JPG -a traditional Internet image standard- the text is blurred and not well defined, besides the file is quite large.
    3) Should i exported to PDF and then open in Photoshop and "Save for the Web" as JPG? Maybe Photoshop has a better exporting engine when regarding to images than InDesign...i don't know.
    How can i find a way to have well defined crisp and clear text, small size and image? I am not sure i could use PDF format here.
    Any help or ideas? that would be great
    Thanks,
    S

    Thanks for the tip!
    I am sorry i forgot to say i have an A2 and an A3 size poster version. I used the A3 poster and the 650 pixeles poster for Internet actually turn out to be quite readable. I used quite large fonts size in the original design, a bit of a Swiss or Constructivism style poster.
    Cheers

  • Highest res export for qt

    I'm on pal 16.9 and I need to export the highest res quicktime for the internet. I'm told that it will be converted to a flash slv file.

    Jim is right as far as I am concerned. Export to Quicktime Movie will yield the best results, but you will have a pretty hefty file size for internet use, which is what you said you were going to be doing.
    So what you could do is export your sequence to Quicktime Movie and then run it through compressor for your specific internet needs.
    To give you more guided compressor settings can you tell us what you are using it for on the internet? Are we talking YouTube quality or something else? Streaming or Download? Just give us some more info please.

  • BEST SETTINGS FOR INTERNET STREAMING?

    I have been trying for days to make a video of a very specific size (580x326) work with internet streaming. Im exporting with quicktime, however i cant seem to post under quicktime, so im posting here as i have final cut pro as well.
    Please tell me the best setting to export a video for internet streaming (preferably through quicktime 7).
    which settings, framerate, kbits/sec stuff like that.
    the current video is at http://www.nveiltv.com/

    You do understand that "personal opinion" about compression settings massively depend on the type of footage you are dealing with, delivery target, length, desired output file size, client standard and demand and so on.
    However, sounds like you want to get a suggestion to get started... start from here:
    frame rate:current
    bit rate: 1650k/bits
    frame size: 720x405 (yes, a bit bigger and better)
    audio: ACC 44.100
    target bit rate: 128 kbps
    Prepare for Internet Streaming: Fast Start
    Set an IN and OUT point to select a portion of you project (this works in both FCP and Compressor) and compress that portion to check out result. Remember:
    the higher the video bit rate the better the video should look but the bigger the file size gets.
    Ultimately trust your eyes and ears.

  • Question about file size when using "Export for Web"

    Hi!
    I created a .mov file and worked to get a great balance between file size and quality so that I could deliver it via the web and make it easier for end users to see the video on a slower connection.
    My question: When I use "Export for Web," my .mov file is converted into a very large .m4v file--more than double the size of the original file. I know that this export option is to optimize the file for a wide variety of users/internet speeds. Am I correct in guessing that the end size is not an issue? I would post the .mov file instead, but I really like the option of embedding into a html page along with the "click to play" option.
    Bottom line--is it better to post the smaller .mov file that i originally started with or to go ahead and link to the bigger .m4v file that was created with the "Export for Web" option?

    "Export for Web" is a feature of QuickTime Pro and it makes 4 files and the html page code for easy copy/paste Web page editing.
    The very first file is called a "reference movie" and it links to the other 3 files (56kbps, 900kbps and 1.5Mbps). It, and the page code, "read" the connection speed of the viewing hardware and "serve up" the correct file based on that connection speed.
    In nearly all cases the "Desktop" version would still be smaller in file size than the original source. The times the file would "increase" in file size would be when an already compressed was used as the source file. You can find out more about your source file by opening it in QuickTime Player and viewing the Movie Inspector window information.
    There are dozens of other html "tricks" that could be used if your source file is already compressed but you want a different display size:
    Page code to show "aspect" or scale="tofit". This code allows values "outside" of those found in the actual QuickTime file be used for the Web page display. A 320X240 QuickTime .mov file looks pretty good at double size (640X480) but the file size would still be that of the source file.
    "Poster Movie" is another html trick that loads the Web based file directly in the QuickTime Player application (bypassing Web page layout restrictions). These files are also known as "Presentation Movies".
    Another method is the QuickTime Media Link file (.qtl). These are simple text based files that are used as a "direct link". These use simple XML (Extensible Markup Language) and are easily created in any text editing application. The simple syntax has amazing control over a simple QuickTime .mov file. You can launch (and quit) the QuickTime Player, display at other dimensions and even embed "links" inside the display.
    Some of my files as examples:
    http://homepage.mac.com/kkirkster/Lemon_Trees/ a "Poster Movie" style.
    http://homepage.mac.com/kkirkster/.Public/RedneckTexasChristmas.qtl
    A QuickTime Media Link file. A tiny file should download to the viewing machine, launch QuickTime Player, present the movie and it even includes a "link" to my Web page.
    Edit: It appears you must now double click the .qtl download to launch QuickTime.

  • Vrf for Internet Access

    Hello,
    i'd like to configure a dedicated vrf for Internet access only. On my CE router i configured three vrf (Internet, red and blue) in the vrf internet i import the route target from blue and red, and the vrf blue and red i import only the default route. Everything is working fine, only one thing bothers me, i can ping from the vrf red destinations in the vrf blue and vice versa. How can i prevent this routing?
    thanks in advanced.
    Alex
    here the config of my router.
    ip prefix-list internet seq 5 permit 0.0.0.0/0
    route-map internet permit 10
    match ip address prefix-list internet
    set extcommunity rt 100:200
    ip vrf internet
    rd 100:100
    route-target both 100:100
    route-target import 100:110
    route-tarbet import 100:120
    export map internet
    ip vrf red
    rd 100:110
    route-target both 100:110
    route-target import 100:200
    ip vrf blue
    rd 100:120
    route-target both 100:120
    route-target import 100:200

    Hi Alex,
    Given the FW is the next hop for the default route, the traffic from one vrf to the other goes through the FW and get routed back to the CE and then to the respective vrf router. You could add the rules on the FW to prevent
    traffic being routed between FW.

  • Mpeg-2 compression for internet

    I'm trying to compress my 3min. 45 sec. video using compressor, into a mpeg-2 file that has to be less than 6MB. Using quicktime conversion out of FCP5 I can get a great mpeg-4 file of that size, but my PC won't play it so I'm guessing that other people will have the same problem, when they try to view it on my webpage. Since FCP5 does not export as mpeg-2, I am having to use compressor, but I cannot figure out how to get the file size down. Even if I use the preset for internet streaming the estimated file size is 140MB, even if I turn the bitrate all the way down, the file size only gets down to about 50MB. How can I replicate the results of using the quicktime preset 'mpeg-4 > streaming medium'... but using compressor, and resulting in a mpeg-2 file?

    This is very strange, I'd expect to be mpeg-4 as a dedicated file for internet delivery, or any other QT file
    of the similar size.
    MPEG-2 is a format for DVD delivery, not for web. No wonder you were not able to bring to file size down, because MPEG-2 is for DVD - thus the best possible quality is needed.
    Consult your web master again and then export your FCP sequence (movie) by"Export" then chhose "Using QuickTime conversion".
    I hope this will help.
