Export to Web

My end goal is to export my 6 minute "music video" into a format that will be most easily usable on the web. I know MPEG-4 is usually the preferred format, but I don't know much about how much quality I can get away with and still have it run reasonably fast, etc. Could someone please walk me through the process of the best way to export a clip to the web?

It looks like you are still using Panther as a system... So QT7 and h.264 will be out of the question.
I've also gotten great results with Sorenson3's codec. It's built into QT6 so you'll be able to use it.
Try going to:
http://www.proapptips.com and registering. Then go to the downloads area and pick up some of the Compressor droplets. Make sure you get the ones for Compressor 1.
I also assume you are using FCP4?? So Compressor v1??
I'm not at my FCP computer for a few more days, but I'd mess around with Sorenson3... use your in/out on the sequence for about 20 seconds. File/Export/QTConversion and make a few exports with different settings.
Look for size and quality for the #of megs you get.
Sorenson will work on any computer with QT on it... pc or mac. QT7 and h264 will ONLY work with QT7 machines and those are still few.
Good luck,

Exporting a web report to Excel

Hi,
When I export a web report to Excel, it works fine. when I resave the same file as .xls file, the excel file size is reduced drastically (less than 1/10).
Why is this happening? Any way to reduce the file size in the first stage, that is down loading to Excel from web.
Thanks
Unni

Hi,
I don't understand what do you mean here. Do you mean we could not reduce size in the first time? We have exactly the same problem and the file size is about 20-40 MB. This size is too big to download by end user. It's excel file with .xls extension. When I open it by Excel and then try to Save As, it try to save as Web Page with *.htm extension. If I resave as a Excel Workbook format, the size is reduced to 3-4 MB. My question is the same as the other folk, how do I save it as Excel format with proper size the first time?
Thanks,
Yujun

Export for web doesn't work (X and 7).

I use the export for web feature a lot. I find that I have to bounce back and forth between Quicktime 7 and X because sometime this feature will work and sometimes it doesn't. There's no consistent reason I can figure out why the applications will or will not work properly. On some occasions I get some small 8Kb file. On other occasions, I only get the audio.
Any ideas?

Uhh, the system requirements for Photoshop CC state you need 2 GB RAM, 8 GB recommended. This is likely your problem.

Strokes on appearance is getting cut off when exporting for web & Devices

I'm a screen print artist using Adobe Illustrator CS5 in windows 7(blah!) to export images of our customers' artwork into a huge folder of images on a server. The images are then loaded into a program so that they can be viewed company-wide and by the customer.
Occasionally, when there is an appearance applied to text it seems to cut off the tops and/or bottoms of the outermost stroke.This seems to be only happening to text, and happens randomly and is very annoying. See the image attached.
it does this with both JPEG and PNG images, and whats more, changes when you adjust the image size. it either gets better or worse. I have to change the image size on every export so that they are all within our size requirements.
I have found that if you put the art into an envelope with all the settings at 0 and then export for web it prevents this from happening. However, that isn't very efficient as i need to be moving a ton of artwork a day, and I am not the only person who may be working on the Illustrator file.
Is there any setting either in illustrator or windows that may be causing this anomaly?

Try adding:
Effect >> Path >> Outline Object
So your type will still be editable
If that does not work you may want to:
Type: Create Outline
I only had this problem once before, on some snickerdoodle cookies package, and that was a script font. Might be related to the font you use.

RSRT export to Web Template

Hi everybody!
I'm using Netweaver 7.0 and WAD 7.0
In RSRT1 i can launch a query and choose to display it as HTML, and then when the query is diplayed i hit F8 (Browser) so it showed to me as a web page.
So, the question is, if it is possible to save this presentation of a query as a Web template. The point is, it's displayed so well, with charts and other useful stuff, so i'd like to use it as a Web template. There is a possibility to export it to Excel ot to CSV, so i thought there may be a possibility to export to WEB.
Any ideas??

Kuatroka,
I think the default template used is the version 3.5 0ADHOC, you can load the default template in old WAD and change the DP to any query you want and save the template. Then you can use that template.

Using Quicktime's "Export for Web" feature in iWeb?

Greetings,
Does anyone know if this is possible within iWeb, that is, to use movies created using Quicktime's "Export to Web" feature, which really seems to deliver superior movie quality?
Much appreciated,
DaveB

Thanks, good stuff, though I'm still having a small problem with this. I'm getting a gray line around the top and left of my movie and the right side of the player is getting cut off. When I try to make the width larger, it just moves the gray line further to the left.
Any ideas?

Using Color profiles and exporting for web browsers

I've been trying to figure out the answer to this question. As I'm sure you're aware Safari supports color profiles while other web browsers like Firefox do not. I would like to setup Aperture so that it displays and exports images for the widest audience possible. Unfortunately it embeds a color profile and my images on the web only display correctly in Safari. I've tried changing the proofing profiles and export settings to no avail. I didn't seem to have this problem in iPhoto, a picture there looked the same on screen as it did in Safari and Firefox but I can't achieve the same with Aperture...

Thanks for that information, unfortunately I'm not really any closer to solving the issue since I've already tried that. 1) by default, doesn't Aperture automatically embed the sRGB color profile? 2) if I set view>proofing mode to sRGB shouldn't what I see on screen match what a "dumb" application such as Firefox does when it ignores the embedded profile and display sRGB? I've tried going into the preferences>export settings and changed everything to sRGB IEC61966-2.1 but I see no difference in the final image between that and the default setting.
I guess my question is more specific to Aperture since I don't have this problem with other applications. For example, in photoshop if I do Export for Web it strips out any embedded profile and when I open that image in Firefox and Safari side-by-side they are exactly the same. But not so when I export an image from Aperture, when opened in Firefox it is desaturated and flat and of course in Safari it honors the embedded profile and looks fine.

Exporting for Web Usage

Hi. I have no doubt this has been discussed, but am hoping I can get a more concrete answer. I would like to export some shorts to put on my web site. I know there is a balance to be struck between quality and file size, but the choices that can be made with settings leaves me confused.
I am using the latest version of Final Cut Studio Pro. What are best settings based on people's experience to export for web usage? This would ideally be a quicktime file in the end.
Thanks.

I usually use Sorenson 3, quarter screen size and they usually come out pretty manageable. I would use the H.264 codec but I want to be sure all who come to my site and view the Quicktimes and some people don't have QT v.7 yet.
Allow me a shameless plug as well: http://www.scottsimmons.tv/
If you look at any clips on my site and save them as a quicktime movie, then open them an playback in Quicktime player, you can hit command + i and see the movie info where you can see exact specs on each clip. That can give you an idea of quality and file size. It's really an imperfect science.

Quicktime Export For Web files inaccessible

I accidentally posted this in the QT for Windows section, but I'm a Mac guy.
This is totally bizarre. As of this afternoon, all of the QT files (generated with Export for Web from QT7.6) that I've posted over recent days and weeks, on multiple servers, played back by different computers at different locations, running QT 7.6.4 and 7.6.6, OSX 10.5.8 to 10.6.3, WILL NOT PLAY. How is this possible?
If I connect directly to the original .mov file (as opposed to the "alias" .mov file generated by Export for Web), then it will play. If I connect to the .m4v file, my browser wants to download it, and then play it.
What's going on here? Apparently I'm not the only one to have this problem. Is this due to some sort of DRM update put in place on account of the iPad introduction? iTunes and QT have been updated on at least one of the computers I've tried this with, and it didn't make a difference.

Export of WebI reports to XML in BO4.1

Hello,
I've seen some of BO What's New presentation stating that export of WebI reports to XML is possible in BO 4.1. However, my standalone client (4.1 SP1) does not offer this function.
My question thus is, whether export to XML is really possible, and if it is, which SP will we need for that.
Best regards,
Petr Götz

Hello Victor,
This is the webcast which states XML as a possible export format. It even states that XML export was already available in 4.0SP5, which is clearly not true:
What is new with Web Intelligence BI 4.1 – Part 1, Developer Support ASUG Webcast
See Figure 3.
Export to XML would be highly appreciated for our project, since we will need to export the report structures and then import them to a custom-coded application.
If XML export is not currently supported, is it at least planned for some of the next SPs to be released in near future?
Best regards,
Petr

Export To Web Not Working

I'm having similar issues with export... Running Vista. I just downloaded pro7 today and thought it would be a piece of cake to upload the mov file and player to the web... I was wrong!
I imported a 16MB H246 file and it plays great in QT. I select "Export to Web" and I have all three files. The original 16MB MP4 file was converted to a 248kb MOV file. This was my first concern. I downloaded all of the files in the same web directory. I opened the READ ME file and clicked on the 'play' icon and the big Q comes up and then the Q with a QUESTION MARK. I had same experience in FF and IE. This was without any modifications at all to the html code etc.
http://www.taylorsfbc1.org/qt/ReadMe.html
My goal is to embed the QT File and Player so that anyone who opens the file will be using the QT video player.
Question: Should the READ ME preview work without any modifications if all files are loaded in the same directory?
Question 2: How could my H246 16MB file become 248 kb MOV file?
Any help?

Check this.
In the ReadMe file a JavaScript in the <head> of the file has a uppercase L
qtp_Library.js
http://www.apple.com/library/quicktime/scripts/qtp_Library.js
In the sample code on the page it is with a lowercase l.
qtp_library.js
http://www.apple.com/library/quicktime/scripts/qtp_library.js
The file with the uppercase L cannot be found. The file is used to display the video HTML code.
Change the l and see if it works.

Export for web

Hi,
I wonder if Lightroom overs a "export for web"?
I saw that the jpg's with 50% are still larger than the once exported via PS-for web.
I wonder if there is any trick or....
thanks
R

Web galleries created by LR use more storage than those created by PS because (at least some) LR galleries have three images plus a thumbnail for each image file compared to only one image plus a thumbnail in PS. The three images are of different size; this may be how LR galleries match the displayed image size to the user's browser window on the fly, a neat trick.
Another area where LR needs some extra storage is the catalog. In the smallish sample I examined, importing a jpg file into LR increased the total storage required for the image by about 40%.

Cannot Export to Web in QT pro

When I choose export to web and select desktop, I get a "the application QTPlayerHelper quit unexpectedly. Then in the downloading file window it says : failed: export process terminated unexpectedly (11).
Also, is this a better choice than creating a file for the internet in FC Express. Thanks

Mac users are the ones who choose to use an OS which creates this type of compatibility issue. Honestly, I'd just create an AVI and let them solve the problem.
Your clients must really appreciate you as a great "solution providor" Jim!

Export To Web feature not fully working under windows browsers

I have a real problem and I can't figure it out for the life of me. I have a .mov file. I used QuickTime Pro to "Export To Web", and selected desktop. It then gives me a nice, neat folder with all the files I need to upload to the web.
I uploaded the folder, and can view the movies fine using any browser on my Mac (firefox, safari, etc). I've not had any problems while on my Mac.
However, when I go to watch the same movies using Windows, using windows version of Safari, FireFox and Internet Explorer, sometimes the movies play, and sometimes I get a QuickTime logo with a questions mark, and I get a small error icon (yellow icon) at the bottom of my status bar.
If I refresh the page, the movie will play again.
Why could this be happening? I have all the code included within the HEAD tags as well as the QuickTime movie code that is created during the export. I don't know why it works under Mac but in Windows it gives problems.
Here is the link if anyone can look and see what the problem may be:
http://www.sacredstonehealing.com/DVD/00196727-DVD-001
The video is for my boss, and a couple people (who mostly use windows) have been complaining of the error. I was oblivious to it, as I never had the error using my Mac.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Hi Kyn- Yes, I got that same controller bar in the middle as well. Very strange. To answer your questions, for my Mac, I have "save movies in cache" checked, and 100MB cache. I don't know the settings for my Windows QuickTime.
I think I'm just going to end up using the export "Movie To QuickTime" and choose the "fast start" option. I've never had trouble with that for Windows. I will lose the nice "Click to Play" poster screen before the movie starts, but I can live with that.
I'll mess around with this a bit more and try different settings, but I'm gonna put up a new one using the "regular" "object", "embed" method code, and just use .mov. For the main poster, I can always insert an image at the front of the movie.
Thanks for your reply.

CS5 Export to web images not anti-aliased

Never saw this in CS3. Don't see a preference in export to web to turn on anti alias. Any export to web out of AI has bitmapped edges.
I have to export to Photoshop first.
What am I missing?

Are you saying you have a need to use Photoshop or that, because of the lack of anti-aliasing, you are forced to go through Photoshop? If the former, then just open the Illustrator file in Photoshop. If the latter, then look at his in Illustrator’s Save for Web window…
Note: This is in Illustrator CS5. I think it’s just an Antialias check box in earlier versions.

Quicktime Export for web

Thanks in advance.

How to make it smaller in file size than your original 5.5 GB file?
You just did when you used the "Export for Web" feature and it was reduced to 200 MB's in file size.
200 MB's is still much too large for Web use as your viewers will not wait for your file to download.
Break up your 25 minute "masterpiece" into 5 minute "chunks" or compress it further by using:
Export > Movie to QuickTime Movie
Reduce the data rate, file dimensions and choose H.264 video codec and AAC audio. Forget "stereo" to reduce that part of the file. Reduce dimensions to reduce the video part of the file size. Cut the "frame rate" by 50% to make even a smaller file size. Your Web viewers will probably not notice.
Do some tests with a one minute sample file to learn what works best for your file. Compare the new exports (side by side) by using the "Play All Movies" feature of QuickTime Pro.
After a few sample exports you'll quickly see which data rate, frame rate and video compression codec works best for your file.
