Exporting an flv that doesn't stutter and is a small file size

i know you can make an h264 and change the extension to flv but that doesn't help me with this particular issue: I am working in fcp 5.0.4. I have a two minute sequence. When I use the On2 plug-in and export an flv out of fcp I get a 30 MB file and I need to get it down to more like 2 MB! Plus, it stutters. I've tried 15fps and 30 fps. 15 looked better. How shall i get this file to 1. not stutter and 2. be a lot smaller in file size? thanks so much!

Best file for importing images from Illustrator and Photoshop for small file sizes

Hello Adode consults!
I'm in the process of preparing an inDesign file for a school project -- I've already had a few harrowing experiences sending large files to the printer that are too large to process (and a very grumpy computer, etc). The end result will be a poster around 36 inches by 4 or 5 feet.
I'm wondering if there are any best practices for making sure that the files imported into InDesign are a manageable size to begin with. Should I, for instance, be saving each file as a jpeg before placing in Indesign?
Thanks!
-Katherine

No, you should not save every file as JPG before placing it in INDesign. JPG is only usefull for raster images (like photos) without any transparency in high quality.
When you place images use:
For raster images from Photoshop psd (rgb with color profile)
For raster images from Photoshop with form layers, texts or any vector element use PDF (or PDP) with layers.
For vector graphics from Illustrator use AI files or PDF.
For layouts from other InDesign projects use either the INDD itsself or export a PDF/X4.
But to the printer deliver a PDF according to their standards. E.g. when they need CMYK files export as PDF/X1a with the required output color space and the resolution they want. Produce the pdf via Export (Print).
Don't deliver open INDD. File size should for printing projects not be an issue.

What is the best seeting to export as smaller file size AVI from FCP?

Hi, I know the topic sounds very similar to many of AVI post it had been up, however, somehow, I do not find the right answer that I'm looking for.
I have a couple animation created from QT as "image sequence".
I simply want to export as avi file.
Here is the question I have.
1. If I choose DV/DVCPRO-NTSC, and choose scan mode as Progressive, I get interlacing looking quality video.
2. If I choose compressor type as "NONE" then even I set as "least" quality, the file size will be over 1G..although, that's the quality I'm trying to archive.
Is there any other setting I can choose to get good quality with lower file size avi? I have seen or download avi file on the net with very good quality and still download-able file size...

What is the QT method? (Export from QT Player?)
Yes, 10 hour plus is ridiculous. I'm guessing that there was either something wrong with your Internet connection and/or at the You Tube end of the uploasd/compression process.
Innocentius and Hugh are right; using Compressor (or MPEG Streamclip) and using YT's uploader is the most reliable workflow.(Since Google changed the account verification process, there have been reports of upload problems using Share>You Tube.) In addition, you have more control over the quality of your movie. You can create multiple custom settings in Compressor and then Share > Compressor custom settings. It will go faster if you export out of FCP as a Pro Res 422 file; should take 3-4 minutes top. The Web encode for a 3 minute video in Compressor might take 15 minutes, depending on your system. MPEG Streamclip is probably a little faster.

What's the best settings to Export movie for smaller file sizes?

Hi, I've been working on some helmet cam footage which was taken with Xvidmpeg4.avi and was advised to convert it to dvavi for editing in PrE, this created a huge file to work with, the original footage was 206mb and the finished edited dvavi file is now 1.56gb, what settings can I use to export the movie with a much smaller file size, but hopefully try to retain some quality, to upload to places like Vimeo? I thought I would try to export it in the same as the original footage Xvidmpeg4.avi thinking this might compress it again to something like the 206mb of the original and the original was good quality footage, but PrE just hangs up with a box stating 'Xvid Status (Not Responding)' and when I try to cancel that the whole thing crashes and closes? So when I go to File > Export > Movie, what would be the best settings in:
General > File Type ?
Video > Compressor
lots of options under compressor if I select the file type as Microsoft AVI, so I'm guessing something under that would compress it to a smaller file size but what, I could spend all night trying different settings so hoping for some advice?
Or, if I'm completely in the wrong place for the settings and should be doing something else please tell me?
Thanks, Gav

Thanks for the replies, but to me it's still confusing - simply because there are so many settings, if I go to Share/Personal Computer I'm then presented with a whole load of settings
NTSC Flash Video
MPEG
DVAVI
Windows Media
QuickTime
and under each of those is a lot more advanced settings?
I'm guessing I wouldn't use flash or quicktime, so which of the others would I use and what are the advanced settings to use as I can't find anything that is .wmv or .mov
What I've done with other videos that I've exported from PrE as dvavi is then to put it through Windows Movie Maker, Publish Movie, This Computer, then put the settings to Windows Media DVD Quality (PAL) (3.0 Mps) - this seemed to be the only setting that reduced the file size considerably but still had good quality, but it's still about twice the original file size?
This all seems long winded to me, open original file, convert original file, output another file, then output the file again in something else which then results in loss of quality and a larger file than the original? I'm ending up with lots of files, was hoping just to edit in Premiere then export/publish that edited clip and that would be it, then upload to the net.
Is it not possible to just edit my original footage and save it, just like you would with something like a word document, should I be using something else and not Premiere?
Thanks.

Why Is "Export Small File Size" Large?

Hi, I work in CS3. Out of 100 brochures, I have two brochures that will not export to a small file size PDF. The settings for export are all the same. What else should I be looking for? The sizes are usually 1 MG. These particular 2 brochures are 5 - 6 MG. What can I look for to correct this?
Thanks

Small size is very dependent on the contents being exported to PDF. Images are readily compressed. Text and vector data isn't. Thus, if your content is primarily text and vector, it is very unlikely that the content can be compressed signficantly more via change of settings.
Another factor that can relate to image compression is use of any duotones that use spot colors. Such images cannot be JPEG-compressed, only ZIP-compressed.

How to export in a small file size in FCP7 ?

Hi,
I'm filming with a GoPro camera on 720p 60fps.
resulting files are MP4 files wich I convert to Apple ProRes files.
Now when I want to export my movie, it has a VERY big file size..!
Can anyone tell me how to export my movie in a smaller file size.
It doesn't has to be the smallest file size, just small enough so I can upload it on the internet etc.
Thanks very much,
Yannick.

Export a reference video (command-E, current settings and "self-contained" should not be marked.
Then import to compressor, use one of the h.264 settings... Start with the LAN setting and go from there.

Burning to dvd and the loss of file size

I am new to aperture and in trying to burn my photos to dvd (with toast 6 or idvd), I have a couple of questions. First, can I just drag and drop the images or do I need to export them? Secondly, when I have dragged and dropped photos into the Toast screen the file size is considerably smaller (about one fifth the size). Am I just dragging the preview? It seems when I export a photo to my desktop it is also then a smaller file size. (one third or so) How to I burn to dvd select full size versions of my photos?
Thank you for any help.

hello, lupita
Welcome to the Aperture forum!
I am new to aperture and in trying to burn my photos
to dvd (with toast 6 or idvd), I have a couple of
questions. First, can I just drag and drop the
images or do I need to export them?
if you have made Aperture Previews (if not Update the Version Previews first that you want to drag & drop) you can drag & drop them into the drop zone of iDVD from the Browser (it takes a while for iDVD Media option to see the Previews while they Update)
or you can access your photos through the Media/Photos/Aperture Library option in iDVD
or you can export Versions to a folder on a hard drive and iDVD/File/Import/Image
Secondly, when I
have dragged and dropped photos into the Toast screen
the file size is considerably smaller (about one
fifth the size). Am I just dragging the preview?
yes.
It
seems when I export a photo to my desktop it is also
then a smaller file size.
Exporting a photograph (Version) from Aperture can have several size and quality options, since you want your photos to be the same size then make sure the Versions are not being resized which it sounds like they have been. Select & edit the Presets/Image Presets... for Export
or, Export the Version and at the window prompt select the Export Preset: Edit to modify the presets to your liking.
How to
I burn to dvd select full size versions of my
photos?
Export Version/Edit/Export Preset/ now select file type TIFF or JPEG or PSD you want "Original Size" etc.
At the Export window select the DVD/CD so the files go into it

Can i have a smaller file size for songs that i put on iphone vs mac

i have ripped a lot of my cds to itunes on my MBA. i used the aac high quality setting.
is there a way that i can upload lower quality/smaller size versions of the songs that i will put on my new iphone ?
Q2: once i rip cd into itunes (on my MBA)... is there an easy way I can later decide to save space and re encode them at 128 instead of 256 (for example).
i notice that you cant just willy nilly copy/delete from the itunes media folder because itunes doesnt seem to 'refresh' with the new files.
thx!

1. the ONLY place i see where you can set the sampling rate,etc is under preferences/general/'when a cd is inserted".... am i missing something?
No.
2. when i want to add an existing mp3 file (from outside the apple realm) , i am using itunes "add to library" and browsing to some mp3 file(s) . it doesnt give me a option to convert it to an m4a format... it seems to just add it to the itunes library without changing the mp3 file .... do i have any option here?
You don't need to convert formats and I would not recommend you do so. You will simply lose quality.
To answer your original question...
can i have a smaller file size for songs that i put on iphone vs mac
If you want smaller files on the iPhone, see my post above which converts them when syncing to theiPhone.
If you really want to convert when adding songs to iTunes...
iTunes prefs > General - Import settings as you want.
Hold Option (Mac) or Shift (Windows) and choose File > Create New Version > Convert AAC (or what your settings are in previous step).
This will convert and add the file instead of adding the file then converting and having 2 of the same song in iTunes.

We will customize a very detailed reply, but
(a) What are the properties of your source media?
(b) What did you or the program set as the project preset to match the properties of the source media?
(c) What specific requirements do you have for this H.264.mov export file?
File size can be a compromise between bitrate, file size, and quality.

Are the image all the same size the % files open into a document seems to vary with the number of pixels the image being opened has. Check the Image size.

Why the files my program create are created twice each file double ? And why sometimes the files size are too small ?

My program is using Queue of type Uri to create Queue of urls and then i'm using webbrowser to navigate each Uri from the Queue in it's turn and get the url(html) source content and save it to the hard disk.
The problem is sometimes the text files on the hard disk are small like 90KB or 60KB and sometimes they are as they are suppose to be 300KB or 200KB.
This is a button click event where i'm calling two methods:
private void toolStripButton3_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
GetHtmls();
CheckQueue();
This is the GetHtmls method code:
private Queue<Uri> myUrls = new Queue<Uri>();
private bool isBusy = false;
private void GetHtmls()
for (int i = 1; i < 49; i++)
adrBarTextBox.Text = sourceUrl + i;
targetHtmls = (combinedHtmlsDir + "\\Html" + i + ".txt");
Uri targetUri = new Uri(sourceUrl + i);
myUrls.Enqueue(targetUri);
sourceUrl contain website address: http://www.tapuz.co.il/forums2008/forumpage.aspx?forumid=393&pagenumber=
And i'm adding to it the numbers and create the pages.
And add them to the Queue.
THen the CheckQueue method:
Uri uri;
private void CheckQueue()
if (isBusy)
return; // We're downloading some page right now, don't disturb
isBusy = true; // OK, let's get started
if (myUrls.Count == 0) // No more pages to download, we're done
isBusy = false;
return;
uri = myUrls.Dequeue(); // Get one URL from queue
getCurrentBrowser().Navigate(uri);
It suppose to Navigate to each Uri(html address) in the Queue.
And the browser document completed event:
private void Form1_DocumentCompleted(object sender, WebBrowserDocumentCompletedEventArgs e)
// If page loaded completly then do something
int urlnumber = uri.ToString().IndexOf("pagenumber=");
string number = uri.ToString().Substring(urlnumber + 11);
int num = Int32.Parse(number);
targetHtmls = (combinedHtmlsDir + "\\Html" + num + ".txt");
StreamWriter writer = File.CreateText(targetHtmls);
writer.Write(getCurrentBrowser().DocumentText);
writer.Close();
isBusy = false; // We're done
CheckQueue(); // Check next page in queue
In the completed event i'm getting the page number and build the string for the text file then write the html source content to the text file.
In the end i have on my hard disk 48 text files.
The problems are:
1. Sometimes it seems like it's not finishing navigating to the current uri or maybe some other reason maybe server side problem and creating small size files with source content inside but not all the source content. Sometimes the text files size are each
file 99KB or 70KB and sometimes the size of them are about 300KB and 200KB and this is the right sizes 300KB 200KB.
2. The text files on my hard disk suppose to be 48 different files each file should contain the source if the html page of the 48 pages. But on my hard disk the 48 text files are duplicated for some reason.
This is the file on my hard disk:
Some of the files are 205KB 350KB 175KB and some of the files sizes are 85KB 94KB 35KB
Why some of the files it didn't navigated to the end or maybe didn't got all the source ?
And why it's making each second file the same like the one before ? It suppose to create 48 different files but i'm getting two identical files each navigation.

I solved it now.
This is what i did:
It's a bit slow process since i'm waiting for each page to be loaded into the webbrowser but it does the work.

Exporting a video that is 3 minutes and it keeps saying that it is 43 minutes

This seems like a strange problem. I have been duking it out with the frequently asked questions forums and nothing seems to address this problem.
Just to give you an idea of what I have going on.
I am using a mac book pro with OS X version 10.6.8 I have 2.4 Ghz intel core 2 duo and 4 GB 1067 MHZ DDR3
I have edited some video together of an interview. The original clip was about 20 minutes and I have cut it down to around 3 minutes 37 seconds. I made sure to go through and delete any scraps that would have been hanging out at the end of the time line. I have also tried putting timeline markers in at the beginning and end of the project. I have also pulled the grey start and finish bars to just the right places. at 00:00:00 and 03:37:14.
I have tried exporting other videos and everything worked just fine. But for some reason it keeps saying that this video is 43 minutes long and it adds 40 minutes of black to the end of it as well as making the file size really big. I am sending this video to a potential client and I need to keep it under 2 G. I can't send it with 40 minutes of black on the end.
I am using these settings
presets NTSC DV 16:9
file type Quick Time
frame size 720x480
frame rate 29.97
audio settings 48000 Hz stereo 16 bit
Duration 43 minutes 16 seconds.
The worst and best thing is about this. I figured it out at the end of typing all of this
So if anybody has this problem

How do I export a video that contains 4:3 and 16:9 footage?

I feel super stupid that I can't figure this out, but I've never needed to use anything in 4:3 before. I created a video that has 10 seconds of 4:3, the rest is 16:9. When I've tried to export to mp4 using the H264 I get a green screen in the video (I also noticed that the timeline then declared the 4:3 footage as unrendered) I've tried to maintain aspect ratios, etc, and the only success I've had is exporting as a QT movie, which then gives me a huge 3gb file. I'm not sure what stats anyone will need, if any. Please let me know and I'll put them up. Thank you!

Seriously, it's fully rendered. I'm not an FC ace but I didn't just start using the program. It just happens that this is the first video I'm editing that has both wide and standard aspects. I'm telling you that when I try to export in 16:9 (as in QT conversion, picking a 16:9 output) the 4:3 part on the timeline says it's unrendered, but only while the file/location box is up. If I back out totally the red line goes away. If I go ahead with the export I get a green screened mp4.
