Exported file is half the size that FCPX said it would be

I'm making a movie montage, project properties are as follows:
1280x720p
25 fps
48 kbps audio bit rate
Using the Export File option, the settings match what's above, with H.264 being the codec (format is quicktime). It says the file size will be 482 MB, but when I export, the resulting file is 209mb. The picture quality isn't that good, because the bitrate is half what it should be. Why is this happening?

Sorry, for some reason I was unaware there was an "Export File" option. Unless I am using special Compressor presets, I usually use "Master File".
I have just done a quick test and the estimated size was 207MB whilst the finished video was 138MB.
However the quality is perfect and the actual size is the correct one for the ideal bitrate.
Frequently the estimated size is way off the mark.
Russ, what's the difference between "Export File" and "Master File"?

How do I export to AVI. file and make the size smaller?

Looking to export a film as a AVI file and alter the size and quality.
Thanks!

Hi,
you can use QT or FCP>Export> QT movie conversion but I like using Compressor.
In Compressor settings tab there's a button with a plus icon on the top right corner. Click it and in the popdown menu choose Quicktime Export Components.
You've just created a new untitled setting. It sits at the bottom of the settings in the untitled folder.
Drag and drop it onto your movie file just imported in Compressor. Double click it and/or see it in the inspector window. Give it a name and in the encoder type choose AVI.
Now (still in in the inspector window) if you click Options button below you can change a number of settings. Remember, the higher the bit rate the better the video will look but greater wil be the size of the video.
Do some tests to find best settings.
An example to use just as reference:
a 3GB DVCPRO HD video becomes 400MB AVI at 1000kbyts
Hope that helps,
G.

I recently upgraded to Yosemite. Yesterday when I opened up the iPhoto (which I have it in my external drive due to the size of file) I get the message that it is not compatible with the new system(or something like that) and ask me to upgrade so I did. Then another message pops ups and asked for rebuilding the Thumbnails. So I clicked rebuild. Next it asked me to do one of three things(I can't remember all of them) so I chose the last one which is to download a photo to iPhoto. Now I only have that photo I downloaded in iPhoto file but not the rest of my pictures. The iPhoto library which is stored in my EHD shows it has 349GB but it only show one thumbnail of the last picture I downloaded after the rebuild process. What can I do to recover the rest of the file?
Thanks for your help.

PDF links work on only half the computers that open them??

Ok, I created a PDF Flyer that has two links. I created the file in InDesign, exported to PDF (and yes I clicked the "Export hyperlinks" checked box), and when I opened it on my computer, it worked like it should. I emailed it to the person who asked to me create it and when she clicked on the links, nothing happened. She tried it like 6 times and finally the link worked and the wepage opened. But then she tried it again and the link didn't work and went back to do nothing. We emailed it to another person in our office and the link, like on my computer worked every time we clicked it. Then we emailed it to another person and the links didn't work at all.....not even once. We emailed it to a couple of more people and the results were the same.
My question is: How come the links are working on some computers and not on others. I am using Acrobat 8.0, everyone else is using 7.0...at first I thought that mattered until I realized that half the people that can open it were using 7.0...I thought it had something to do with our internet settings, but for some reason, this PDF is the exception, I have emailed linked PDFs to this person before and she's never had a problem (and she definately hasn't changed a setting in IE)...
So I am just a little confused. I have created countless linked PDFs and this is the first time I have seen this.
Thanks a lot.

I don't think that going from AA8 to AA7 should be a problem for the links, but just in case use either Reduce File Size or PDF Optimize to save the file to AA7 compatibility.

G710 The OEM partition was half the size of the hdd – 465,76 GB

Lenovo G710 without OS (only DOS).
I installed Windows 7 (64 bit) on it. The OEM partition was half the size of the hdd 465,76 GB. Everything is good it is a small OEM partition, but there is already too much . Can i delete it without consequences? And there does not store any important hiden files?
Moderator Note; subject edited

Hi Devidas,
I would suggest not deleting the OEM partition, as it contains system hidden files

Why in the new versions are the tabs half the size than in version 30?

When I upgraded, the tabs were half the size than in version 30.

Hi jjalarie, your question was about "size" without specifying what dimension. Thank you for clarifying that, but maybe you could have been nicer about it.
What two versions are you comparing, exactly? The currently available version is 33.1 but the forum software detected your version as Firefox 30.

How come my iweb template is half the size of my web page is their any way to expand it.

The Inspector is the blue circle with the I.
The Inspector has 10 icons.
Each icon represents a purpose :
Adding hyperlinks,
Changing the textformatting,
Changing the width and height of objects,
Changing the page settings,
If you're familiar with a wordprocessor you will recognize most icons.
There's also an often ignored word in the menu bar : HELP
See if that helps you any further.

I am wondering if apple could make an ipad about half the size? It would be easier to carry and would be easier to read than an Iph one.

Apple's engineers have apparently decided that the iPhone/touch/iPad and MacBook fit the most popular needs.
Did you have a developer related question?

4K TV not recognized correctly: MacBook Pro Mid2014 15" reports a Samsung UE40HU6900 4K TV as 8K (7680x4320). This results in an ugly, washed out image half the size it should be. Is there a fix for this? (OSX 10.10.1)

MacBook Pro Mid2014 15" reports a Samsung UE40HU6900 4K TV as 8K (7680x4320).
This results in an ugly, washed out image half the size it should be. If you turn off scaling everything is tiny as 8K are displayed on a 4K screen. To get the actual 4K resolution you have to turn on scaling. Still 8K is transferred to the device, but doubling the data lines makes the picture look washed out and create obscure effects for line borders.
Did anybody encounter this problem before? Is there a fix for this? (OSX 10.10.1)

You have the MacBookPro6,2, the Edsel of Macs. It may be covered by this program:
MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010): Intermittent black screen or loss of video
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested.
Print the first page of the panic report and bring it with you.
Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
*An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.

What file type is the video that comes with the ipad? Is there a way to transcdibe the audio from a 90 minute interview I just recorded?

Thank you Menneisyys.
By transcription I mean being able to take what was said in the interview and have those words converted into written text. So I think your second option's a bit closer to what I was looking for.
The inelegant solution would be to buy Dragon Naturally Speaking software, load it up on another computer, stand my i-pad next to it, and have the words transcribed that way - an analog approach, as it were.
O course, I could just spend the next several hours tying up the interview, which is something I kinda hope to avoid.
Thanks again - Jim

I can't download OS5 or, rather, iTunes does download it about 450 mb and then, a few seconds after it starts processing the file, I get the message that I am timed out and am recommended to check my internet connection. I am using 3g to download it.

I don't know which country you're in, but in the US, carriers limit the amount of download for a single file when using 3G. Have you tried wifi?

What setting have you chosen in the view menu? Fit to Screen or Window.
And, in Preferences what have you set for Display?
