Exporting 4min Video to the web

Here's the specs the webmaster gave me.
I need to limit my width to 550 pixels, and my overall file size should be relatively as small as possible.
Flash video is what he prefers.
Now, I think I know that I need to use Quicktime Conversion... but as far as what everything to do I'm lost. What's the best way to keep the picture and file size at a minimum, while staying withing "some" quality. I just want to deliver him the best I can under his guidlines. ALL the help is awesome. Thanks in advance.
Oh, and I shot footage with a GL2, edited in a DV NTSC 32 kHz sequence.

the Export with QT Conversion dialog offers you tons of options..
550 is a bit odd.. you native res is 720..
560 would be fine, 480 too.. but 550..? no multiply of 8 ..
your prob is flv
this is no export codec out-of-the-box on MacOs..
very few options:
• Adobe Flash 500$
• Compressor, Encore, etc .. $$$$
• ffmpegX (shareware, but less stable)
• VisualHub.. not avail anymore..
ask your wm, if he can handle h264 (FCE export option), .. h264 can be put into a flv container.. if he has the tools for ...

HD video on the web? Question. Need help

We just started producing HD video. Coming from SD video. In today’s web age can’t most people in the U.S. view 720p video on the internet?
Our company produces instructional videos that get delivered to the clients by DVD but we also have moved forward to viewing online. My problem is I’m not sure how to approach my web guy about HD video over the web. I would say most of our clients have a fast connection. He is asking for all the old SD videos and me to convert them to .webm/.ogm/.mp4 so he’s doing HTML5. How does this work with HD so the client can have that as an option? He is asking for 400 kbps for our current SD videos and he gets worried when a video is like 60MB so that worries me that he doesn’t know much.
How does bitrate work with HD video? How should we provide it?

Thanks. This was my web guy's response (below). Our current videos (SD) are around 450kbps. I'm testing out exporting an H.264 720p (8 mins long) at 1.3 Mbps and the file size is only about double and looks pretty good. How should i respond? agggg
Using the HD option will eat our servers alive.
HD is typically delivered on blueray, not dvd, and your talking about 25 gigs on a blueray dvd… The web servers use more expensive hard drives to where the amount of space needed and cost would triple the hosting that we use.
With increased file size comes with increased bandwidth. Again, we use around 500-750GB a month during the busy season , if the video is 10 times the size, we will use 10 times the amount of bandwidth.
In all reality, we pay about $500 a month for our current hosting environment. If we wanted to upgrade to an environment that we can stream hd video, we’d be looking at no less than $2000-3000 a month, maybe more.

HT201177 I can't play videos on the web - they just stall - stop and start.

when I am playing videos on the web, Vimeo for example, they play for about one or two seconds and stall. Then they play another one or two seconds and so on for the entire video. I have no means of changing the download size in safari preferences. I am at a loss what to do. i know of no-one else with this difficulty and the Microsoft laptop on the same broadband router dos not have this problem.

Empty the Cache, and you can also try the RE-SET Safari option from the menu-bar.
Let us know if anything changes.

Quicktime Pro and getting videos off the web

I am bound and determined to get videos off the web and use them to make my own videos and what not. I was wondering if quicktime pro is the best program to use for my project. I have downloaded other programs that don't work and I am sick of the hassle. If there is a sure thing program anyone knows about, I'd love to know. Otherwise, it would be great to hear about quicktime pro and it's adeptness or otherwise at successfully getting videos off the web.

Okay I figured out how to do that, but once it is downloaded, I am still having trouble. I don't know which application to use to open the file. Quicktime won't open it because it says it's not a movie file. I downloaded a standalone player and that couldn't open it either. What do I do?

Why can't I play videos on the web?

When I try to watch videos from twitter or download videos from the web, it doesn't work! The screen just stays blank and nothing happens! Please help someone!

Depends entirely on the webpage that's serving them. Some will have an HTML5 or other non-Flash way to supply video to mobile devices. For example, the Youtube app in iOS uses HTML5 to display all Youtube videos.

Exports a hierarchy from the web to Excel

Hi Experts
When the user exports a hierarchy from the web to Excel, it prompts the user for their password as the excel session opens. If they donu2019t enter it u2013 it constantly prompts for a password when the excel file is used.
Anyone got the same issue? or anyway I can get over this?
thanks

Not possible - at the present time anyway.
If you want such a photo available for viewing on your iPhone, you need to download/save the photo on your computer - used for syncing/transferring data from your computer to the iPhone, and transfer this photo from your computer to your iPhone - the same for any photos transferred from your computer to your iPhone.

Saving Quicktime videos from the web?

I downloaded quicktime pro because I wanted to save other quicktime videos off the web. But it turns out I can only save one or two.
Is there a way to save the other videos?

Exactly what is happening when you are trying to save the other videos? Need details.
Please post the link/URL of the video website for others to check for you.
If you are trying to download streaming videos, make sure QT streaming settings are enabled.

Trying to export a video and the frame keeps getting cut

Hello,
I'm trying to export a video and the frame keeps getting cut. I've tried exporting it as a flattened movie through export - QT - "current settings" and through QT conversion, making to sure set the "size" as 720 x 480 ( my sequence presets are as follows: 720 x 480, DVCPRO50) but the default " current size" seems to be set at 640 x 480 and that's how it is exporting it. I must be missing something, I've never had this happen to me before... Any ideas? Maybe I should try trashing the preferences, usually what I do when I'm out of options...Thanks,

I just tested a bunch of stuff and the only way it would export correctly was by choosing "none" in the compression dialog box from the export to qt menu. weird hunh?

What is the best way to compress longer HD videos for the web

I am struggling with the best way to post HD, as well as SD videos to the web - Vimeo as well as YouTube sites. Some of my files are up to an hour long, and above.
I've tried mp4, H.264 compression, multi-pass, as well as ProRes in various settings. The files are either too small or too large. I have an stand-alone Flash encoder, but it seems to take an inordinate amount of time.
My computer only has a Duo Core - its the first Intel processor. Is it too slow to process these large Video files?
ANY advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Peter

as well as YouTube sites. Some of my files are up to an hour long, and above.
There are quite a few videos on YouTube that are up to 3 hours long. If you are having issues uploading long YouTube movies, have you contacted their tech support?

Constant problems: asking for password, not retrieving mail from the server,leaving things in the outbox. Then it can be fine for days. iPad and iPhone apps sometimes hang for a bit as well.
A friend just bought an iMac and has had nothing but trouble with ROGERS mail. Support guy walked us through the whole set up today and everything was fine for a while and then it just quit.
I am wondering if having an IPad, computer and phone all communicating with server at the same time causes problems.

Exporting widescreen anamorphic video for the web

I have a project in fce which is filmed in widescreen anamorphic at 720, 576 the setup in fce is dv-pal anamorphic and anamorphic is checked in item properties. When I export using quicktime using h.264 encoder it shows at as widescreen in the preview but when I open it after export it is squashed. I know that is because it is anamorphic but how can i export for the web and get the correct image? If I was doing full scale I could just change the resolution from 720 to 1024 but what if I want to do lower resoultion is there a better way? Thanks.

WMA is Windows Media Audio. I think what you meant is WMV (Windows Media Video). To export to that format on a Mac you'll need Flip4ac, available from www.flip4mac.com Once you've installed it, it adds the WMV and WMA export option to QT and other apps such as Sorenson Squeeze.

Best way to save HQ video for the web?

What´s the best settings for great video-quality for the web?
I have a 5 min long clip I´d like to put on my website.
I would like it to be 480x360 and with good quality. It´s ok if the file gets 30-40 MB.
I have tryed the Expert Settings, Quicktime Movie, Broadband - High, but the movie gets "striped".
What´s wrong?
A lot Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Hi Magnus40,
I'm not sure what you are doing to create this problem. I create web movies all the time and have never had this problem, although, I never use the advanced settings cos I have never had to. When you go to the Quicktime export pane in iMovie you have the quality choices from full quality to web. When you select one of these it gives an estimate of the file size. For that length clip you should not need to use any setting besides full quality. I'd say the problem is coming from the 480x360 aspect ratio. This is what is compressing the file. Have you tried exporting it as full quality and then uploading it? The only problem you face by doing this is, it will take a long time for the movie to load on your website. For a short clip you may find that the CD ROM setting is sufficient.
Good luck.
SR
