Export for iPhone with crop?

I did searchs for iPhone AND crop and iPod AND crop, but nothing came up, so...
Is it possible to use QT to export to iPhone with a custom crop? I'm starting with 1280x720 HD video from a Flip MinoHD. I would like to end up with something in a 3:2 ratio like 480x320 (either cropped to 1080x720 and then scaled or scaled then cropped to 3:2).
I can do this crop if I export to MPEG-4 and it works great. This export option, however, comes out as mp4, instead of m4v and doesn't work on the iPhone.
Any way to do this QT?
How about QT Pro?
Thanks!

Do you have any idea if I'm doing something wrong? Here's an excerpt from my email to the author (I didn't mention cropping as to simplify my question/bug report)
Since you did not describe your actual "crop" work flow for MPEG Stramclip I suspect that is where your problem lies. Basically you are going from a 1.78:1 to a 1.50:1 aspect ration. Therefore your will have to crop the left-right edges and not the top-bottom. Since you indicate want to end up with a 480x320 viewing area, try the following:
1) Select either of the iPhone presets. Since you will have to customize the dimensions, as well as, crop the file, it doesn't matter which preset you choose.
2) Back in the main MPEG-4 export window, re-set the "Other" dimensions to 569x320. What you are in effect doing is setting the target height of the output you want and adjusting the width to the nearest pixel for a 16:9 aspect ratio to match your source file and, thus, minimize any distortion.
3) Set output audio and/or video rates as desired (I normally use 1000 or 1200 Kbps for video and 128 Kbps @ 44.1 KHz for audio) and make any adjustments to brightness, contrast, saturation, volumes, etc. if desired.
4) Now activate the "Cropping" tool by "ticking" the correct box and leave the option in the "Destination" mode.
5) Now enter your left-right crop settings. These setting must total 89 pixels to be subtracted from the 569 scaled pixel width which will leave you with your specified 480x320 viewing area. How much you decide to crop from the left and right sides is up to you but must total 89 pixels. Thus you can keep the center area or chose to offset the viewing area as best suits your needs.
6) Now preview the content to be sure it is exactly what you want and if/when satisfied, select the "Make MP4" button to set up and begin your export.

OSX Lion and exporting for iPhone

There was a thread about how when trying to set and/or publish for iPhone or edit its settings, Flash CS5 immediately crashes. The problem has been experienced by many Mac OSX Lion users and they talked about it in this unresolved thread: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/888198#3851750 but still no updates from Adobe. Adobe sent me a response to my Support ticket that "it's an Actionscript 3 coding issue" then closed it so I couldn't reply. Ummmm, NO it isn't a coding issue, I tried to export an FLA file with no code in it. That's a really bad way to do business, Adobe. But since they're not going to be helpful (and probably lose me as a customer) has anyone else found a workaround for this?

You have to understand that the Apple-provided presets are good launching points, not end-all, be-all settings.
And iPhones do support material encoded as 640 pixels wide so the preset for VGA (up to 640x480) works fine for most people. I personally rarely use anything smaller than the VGA setting for Apple Devices as I find that's the perfect middle ground for iPods, iPhones and AppleTV.
If you (understandably) need to limit your file and frame sizes, adjusting the device setting in Compressor to iPhone (Local/WiFi) does the trick - fitting your movie into a 480 pixel-wide frame size and capping the video data rate at 1000 Kbps.
Letterboxing - as in hard mattes - is not needed when encoding for Apple Devices. In fact, if you have letterboxing in your source media, use the Geometry pane to crop out the Letterbox Area of Source. That will provide you with a better quality encode and the preset will know to adjust your output frame size, so you need not worry about distorting your movie.

Exporting for iphone

I want to export material from FCP to compressor for use on iphone.
The aspect ratio of the iphone screen is 480 x 320, but that size is not an option when exporting for iPhone using Compressor. You have to use a custom setting.
Why is this the case?
Compressor offers 320 x 240 and 640 x 480. Both of these are fine for an older ipod, but not for the wider screen of an ipod touch or iphone.
Do they want us to letterbox a 3:2 image on iPhones and iPod Touch?
Thanks for any help

Is there a car charger and fm frequency transmitter for iPhone with IOS6?

is there a car charger and fm frequency transmitter for iPhone with IOS6?

Here is something interesting about car chargers and the iPhone 3G:
From Macworld:
On to the power adapters. Here’s the story: We learned a while back that iPhone 3G doesn’t support charging “via FireWire.” The thing is, there are lots of devices out there that don’t actually have a FireWire port, but are technically FireWire chargers because they’re sending power on the dock-connector pins that were used for power by the FireWire interface. There are a lot of reasons for this, chief among them the fact that the FireWire spec allows as much a 18 volts, while USB is a 5-volt connection. Since cars provide 12 volts of power, many if not most car-chargers used the FireWire method to send power.
However, in the interests of space and simplicity (i.e., not having to engineer for two separate power paths), Apple has dropped support for FireWire charging with the iPhone 3G. This means that many accessories won’t charge an iPhone 3G. Borchers said that Apple gave accessory developers a strong hint that this was going to happen a while ago, but he said that some companies have continued to implement FireWire-based chargers despite the warning.
But there’s some hope in sight: Borchers told me that at least a couple of third parties will be releasing converters that will pass through the dock connection, but convert the power to a USB standard. That adapter may make many of those charging devices come back to life

Export for iPhone & iPad same time - Without resolution issues?

Hello,
I have developed an app for the iPhone and it runs perfectly fine on the iOS for iPhone. I am trying to port it to the iPad so I have done the proper stage adjustments and have set export as "iPhone & iPad"
It opens up fine on my iPad, but the same app opens distorted on my iPhone (since the stage resolution isn't native, so it gets squished)
How can I make my app iPhone/iPad friendly all in one IPA?
Thanks.

Use the same iphone version without any change on the stage and publish it for Iphone/Ipad with full screen parameter.

Hello,
By 'Use Mobile Network' I am assuming that you want to transfer the VoIP call to GSM using the Mobility Softkey on the iPhone. There are a couple of defects that you should be aware of when using this functionality:
1) CSCtu15500 - Call drop after user handoff VoIP call to mobile using Anyconnect (VPN)
2) CSCty91386 - Client can't handle send-to-mobile message
Workarounds: For the first defect, if you are using AnyConnect (VPN), please try transfer to mobile, with out using VPN. The the second defect, you must use the US English as the User Locale.
HTH,

I can't get me Ipod on my Iphone4 to play, it will until an error comes up saying this device is not optimised for iphone, with nothing plugged into it.

My Ipod on my Iphone wont play and I have no volume bar. I can hear when the phone rings and I can hear people talking when they call, it seems to be a software promlem that I dont know how to fix. I have been having this problem and I have realized that when the error comes that this accessory is not optimised for iphone, my Ipod wont work. I have never had the air play button and my software is the current editon.

Try #2 and #3 in link below. If neither work, you most likely have a hardware issue.

FCP export for ATV with chapters

Hi, I have about an hour of PAL DV edited content in FCP 6, with about 10 chapter points. I've created my DVD and now I want to keep a copy for Apple TV with chapter points included. Can anyone advise which way to do this, as I've tried some options using QT export/convert and Compressor etc. but all unsatisfactory. When I get a good quality ATV export it doesn't have the chapters included. Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks.
Chris

Yes, I can see them ok and have managed to export in various formats with them intact. My problem is more to do with knowing the right settings/codec to export for Apple TV but with the chapters in there still. I've got good looking ATV compliant exports, and I've got various formats with the chapters in, but not both. It would seem like a really basic thing to want to do, but seems really elusive (unless I'm being dumb!). I actually started out in iMovie as it's a family video and pretty basic edits etc. but iMovie can't do this either
Thanks, chris

Downside of developing for iphone with AIR?

I've developed a few games with flash and have wanted to try my hand at some mobile apps. Most of my games are point and clicks and since I already know AS3, AIR seems to be a pretty good option.
I've asked about Android- which I plan on targeting first- and it appears a major downside is that many AIR apps woud require additional software on older phones and that the required software is a bit of a space hog.
What are the downsides for developing for iphone? Does IOS require special software to play AIR apps? Do they run particularly slowly on the iphone?

Whether Flash would be the best tool might depend a lot on whether you know Flash, what kind of game you're doing, and whether all of the features you need to do can be done. For example, if having Game Center and iAds is vital, then you wouldn't want to use Flash for the time being.
Flash based apps on iOS do include the AIR runtime engine, but it isn't an external engine that gets installed once into the system, each app would have a copy of the engine. That's good, in that you don't have to worry whether someone installing a later app might cause your app to stop working. It does mean that each app is a few megabytes bigger download than the Android equivalent.
On Android, the when a user downloads an AIR based app for the first time, they automatically get given the AIR runtime too. After that, any AIR apps that use the runtime that is already on the device only has to download the app itself, unless the app requires a later version of AIR, in which case the user is prompted to download the later version of AIR. It's not too painful a process.
People have requested that the AIR runtime be part of the APK, and I think that will be done one day, but not in the near future.

FCP quicktime "iphone "export diff then quicktime "export for iphone web"??

so what i dont get, is when i export out of quicktime using "export for web" and i choose the "iphone" 900 kbit option, i get 480X270 beautiful true widescreen clips. But when I export using quicktime conversion in final cut pro 6 and i choose" iphone"....i get 480X360. Why does this happen? I want true widescreen, just like everything i get from itunes.....not this 360 size (which i know is the phones screen res, but who cares)?

Earlybird is exporting H264 ... the Key Frames setting is determining the GOP length. This value should really be determined based on the complexity of the video, to my understanding, the actual frame rate has no bearing on it. If you have very complex fast moving content then a low Key Frame rate is advisable to ensure good image quality (although it will adversely affect the filesize) whereas if you have slow moving or static content (like an interview subject) then a higher Key Frame rate will still produce a good image but at a smaler filesize. The default of 24 should be pretty much fine as a catchall starting point.
Earlybird
Corrupted render files (and render references) can be a pain because FCP will use those files and references in place of the original media when building the export. And so it should as it does't want to waste time re-rendering sections that are apparently already rendered. Unfortuantely, as noted, if the render file has gone bad and/or starts referencing the wrong media then you'll get these wierd flashes of completely unexpeced and unwanted footage showing up where it shouldn't be. When you trash those files then QT / FCP will just go back and re-reference the original media ... so it's usually a worthwhile step to take just in case thats the problem. The worse case scenario is that it only that doesn't work and you spend some time unecessarily re-rendering.
As to why these files go bad? That I don't know. Why do Preferences get corrupted? That I don't know either but it definitely happens :-(

Belt pouch which is a snug fit for iPhone with the bumper on?

I'm looking for a belt pouch which is exactly the right size for an iPhone with the Apple bumper on. A snug fit would be preferable because it works better when silent mode is on.
Probably a better question is - is there another phone which is the same size as an iPhone with the bumper on? Then I can look at cases designed for that phone.
Thanks for suggestions.
Message was edited by: jthg

I don't know if this is the type you're looking for, but an iPhone 4 with a bumper should fit well in a MOBO horizontal slim case.
http://www.amazon.com/Mobo-Slim-Horizontal-Carrying-Case/dp/B003RD6466/ref=cmcr_pr_producttop
BTW, I bought mine at an AT&T store, but Amazon has them for a lot cheaper. I had a soft plastic case with a back and it fit snugly in the MOBO. I am now using the free acrylic case with a back, because it is easier to out of the MOBO (smoother action).

Cradle for iPhone with protection?

Purchased an iphone cradle to charge and sync my iphone, but it doesn't fit with the protective casing I have.
Wondering if there are any cradles out there designed to fit iPhones with these cases. Can't seem to find one.
Thanks!

Since each case has different dimensions, that would depend on the specific case, don't you think? (Any reason why you're keeping the case model a secret?)
Some cases like various SwitchEasy models come with an adapter to use in the Apple Universal Dock. Some cases have a removable lower section so that you can use the standard dock.

IPhone doesn't play Quicktime Web-Export for iPhone (not cell!)

Hello guys,
I play around with the html5 video tag and the possibilities to get implemented videos working on the iPhone. I exported the video via the standard function in Quicktime (Encoding Video for Wi-Fi, 3G, and EDGE) which is installed on 10.6.
I implemented the exported reference-mov file in my page but on the iPhone only the cell version is viewable - when WIFI is switched off. If WIFI is switched on the iPhone shows the poster image with the crossed play button in the front but the regarding video (not the cell version) can't be started
The desktop (computer) version of the same video is displayed on Safari on the MacBook via the reference file.
Is there someone who knows something about this behavior?
Kind regards
André

This is all to do with MIME types.
iPhones play .m4v files (as exported from quicktime) but will only accept then if delivered as "video/mp4" not "video/m4v".
The easiest way to do this to edit you .htaccess file by adding the line:
===========================
AddType video/mp4 mp4 mp4v mpg4 m4v
===========================
Apache Servers should now add that MIME type to their internal list.
Note: You should still upload the .m4v file (not rename to .mp4 as some have done) - it will now play over wifi.
Hope this helps and thanks to kingkong36 for the original solution.
If you are unsure how to edit your .htaccess file then then is lots of documentation online - just search '.htaccess' but a quick method is to make a .txt file containing the above line, upload that to the root file of your site and then rename it '.htaccess' from htaccess.txt - removing the '.txt' first.
Be careful though that you are not overwriting another file - make sure you ftp software is set to 'Show hidden files' or similar, then edit that one if there is one as files beggining 'dot' are hidden by default.
Cheers, Tim.
