Exporting existing .wmv files using CS4

Another department at my work made a series of training .wmv files using Camtasia. Each video is 1024x 768. They want me to put them in Premiere and
output them all as one long video. Since they are .wmv that means they are alrady compressed what export settings should I choose to insure that I
don't recompress them?
Also I set the output size to be 1024 x 768 (the same size as the originals) but the rendered video comes out looking cropped.
Actually it seems more like the visible part of the video is slightly enlarged thereby making the egdes go off screen. Can anyone give me some advice
on this project?
Thanks,
Al

Unfortunately, unless you can get another Export from Camtasia, you have no choice. The WMV's will have to be uncompressed, either internally, or via a conversion program, to be edited. You will then re-compress them, for Export. That is the biggest problem when working with compressed material.
Actually, Windows Movie Maker might be your best bet, as it is designed to work with the WMV CODEC's. PrPro is not.
Good luck,

How to Export a WMV file in High Quality but low MB?

How to Export a WMV file in High Quality but low MB?

I'm really afraid you are the only person who can answer that.
ANY compression is totally relative: what do you think is small? What do you define as high quality?
I can get a 5 minute wmv file at just under 100mb that I find acceptable for browser downloads. You might think that's too big. I don't.
Trial and error is the only way. Personally, I've set up a compressor preset to crunch my wmv files. While it's doing it's thing, I can do something else.

Low quality exports as .wmv files

Hello,
I'm using Premiere Pro CS4/Windows XP.
I've seen a couple other posts relating to this subject, but was wondering if someone could advise me on the best way to export to achieve a 320x240 wmv file. I'm scaling down from an avi file, edited with chroma key so I could replace the background.
I tried some of the NTSC Source export settings, but was unable to open the exported wmvs on my computer. The only setting that seems to work is the Zune Video setting, which specifically exports to the size I need. However, the quality is not very good.
Will I ever be able to achieve a wmv file that matches the quality of H264/mp4? We're using a webcast service which requires us to upload either wmv or flv videos, so are rather limited.
If anyone can recommend the best settings, I would be extremely grateful.
Thank you,
Christine

hiya,
might as well post this here....
Bill...just did wmv export for youtube ( sample as per other thread )
to bring into focus for this post...I am putting my project settings too...basically I matched the project settings except for the audio going down to 44khz from 48... I coulda kept that at 48khz...
IF THIS was interlaced I would check the box that says " allow interleaving "...
IF THIS was interlaced that I want to export progressive I would check "deinterlace" and NOT have allow interleaving" checked....also I would make the progressive dimensions roughly HALF of the interleaved size...cause you lose half the vertical resolution going from interleaved to progressive.
In my sample for youtube I really crank up the bitrate... seems to work well....as it gets converted by youtube...
added some youtube screens also, reference how to upload the video to that place...for Bill ----
NOTE: The settings put you into a custom mode...where you are choosing all your settings..not a preset ...

How to get data from an existing Excel file using report generation toolkit

I'm trying to use the Excel Get Data vi from the report generation toolkit, but i can't figure out how to turn a browsable path into the right type for the VI. I've tried using the New Report.vi, but that doesn't work unless you use a template. It won't open an existing excel file and make it an open report to pull data from.
Essentially, i have a bunch of excel files that have data in them and i want to use a VI to analyze the data. So, i'm trying to pull in all the data directly from the excel file so i don't have to reproscess them all into text so i can use the more standard spreadsheet VIs. But to even convert the excel file programtically in labview won't i still need to be able to open the excel file and get the data?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I C.
Got it,
the reason why I can view it using my Excel file because its in .CSV.
I open Microsoft Excel to open .CSV file.
But you can also open .csv file with notepad.
So, you cannot open .xls with Read Spreadsheet File

How should we be going about creating and saving and/ or exporting our ODC files using Excel 2013 for use in Project Server 2013 Online?

Hi I need your guidance on how I should go about setting up my Excel 2013 reports so that others in our Project Online 2013 environment can access and updates these reports of mine.
My questions are as follows:
I presume I need to create and save my ODC files in a PWA > Data Connections folder. I have English and French users in our environment. Do I need save them twice? Once in the French and again in the English Data Connections folder?
Likewise for the Excel file?
How should I go about creating my ODC files within Excel? By default, the ODC files are being created on my PC's > My Documents > My Data Sources folder. I presume I need to get them saved or exported to the PWA > Data Connections
folder. So, How should I be going about creating and saving and/ or exporting the ODC files???
FYI...My oData Feeds that I wish to use and join in this particular Excel file are as follows:

Thanks in advance,

Thank you Guilaume. May I ask you to help clarify a bit more for me? If I have to do it for both languages (the reports and ODC files), do I simply copy the same ODC files from e.g., the English to French folder in PWA (Odc files)? Or does
that defeat the purpose? Or, do I need to create a new set of oData Feed Connection files with a French version of Excel 2013 and save them to the French Data Connections folder in PWA? Do I need to have a French version of Excel 2013 to create
French ODC files and ultimately French based reports and/ or vice versa?
I did notice that the following oData metadata command from within a browser produces different results (ie., English versus French metadata returned) depending on who runs it (i.e., French or English user, etc). As you can see I am a bit confused.
Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Update file properties on existing measurement files using NI Diadem

Hi,
I have several TDM measurement files, which has properties such as sample type, test conditions, etc. I manage all the measurment files using NI Diadem.
I want to change the properties in each file. How can I modify the properties of the measurement file easily? I realized that I put wrong numbers into the property blank when I did the measurement.
One more question, I want to add additional properties and values to existing TDM measurement files. How can I do that?
Thank you,
Hyunseok

Hello Hyunseok,
If you are familiar with the VBScript interface, use the "DataFileHeader" object, which you get returned from the "DataFileHeaderAccess()" function.
There are some examples in the help system on how to use this ...
Basically, you would write a short script that opens the TDM header, replaced/adds the property you want to edit, and does that on any number of files.
Let us know if you have further questions,

Uploading a wmv file using del.interoute?

Hi there
I created a wmv file through Final Cut and uploaded it using yousendit.com as I always do. However the client says that those kind of links dont work on their sites and they need to be like 'del.interoute.com'
Does anyone have a clue what this is? I've googled it thinking it would be like yousendit.com but it isnt. I've asked people in the know, who dont know. And I am stumped. I'm probably being super dumb right now, but can anyone shed any light on this.
I've emailed the client a few times about it, but I dont want to seem completely clueless.
Thank you in advance.
M

tell your clients that liking to a video on the site has nothing to do with the type of movie file you use. As long as it lives on a server that can be accessed, they can post a link to it. Now, they may want a streaming movie, not a downloading movie, in which case you would have to make sure you set it up that way, but still, they need to have a streaming server. They may also have a computer without said codec installed in the browser. So they need to tell you exactly what codec, bit rate, and image size to encode at. It's not your job to guess.
I just tried to go to that del.interoute.com, and there is no such site. So I don't know what king of voodoo it is. I found several video with it as the link type, but I am guessing you can't actually access the server, but sites can embed the files into their own site. So type in del.interoute and go to the first site that has video options to watch. Wait til one loads fully, then do a "save as source" and open the file in QT to inspect the settings. Then create your movie that way.

Exporting to .mp4 file using QuickTime Pro

Rather than use the Movie to iPod preset in QuickTime pro, I would like to export an .avi file to a .mp4 file using Movie to MPEG-4. I would like the resulting file to be encoded using h.264 video and to be 640 X 480. I want one file that I can include as an enclosure in the rss feed for my podcast that can be downloaded and played in both iTunes and on an iPod. So far, I have been able to create a .mp4 file that plays in iTunes/QuickTime but not on an iPod.
Would someone with experience in this please tell me which settings to use in the MPEG-4 export settings dialogue so that I get a file that can be played on the iPod.
The options are:
File Format (I chose mp4)
dropdown (I chose video)
Video Format (I chose H.264)
Data Rate (I know it's important that this not be too high but don't know what to put.)
Optimize For (download is the only choice for this option)
Image Size (I chose 640X480 VGA)
Preserve Aspect Ratio checkbox (My original video is 720X480. I don't think I should check this. I want to change the pixel aspect ratio to square pixels.)
using dropdown box (Letterbox, crop, fit within size) (only active when Preserve Aspect ratio is checked)
Framerate (I chose 29.97, which is the frame rate on the original .avi file)
Keyframe ( I set this to every 15 frames)

Thanks. I was aware of that information. But still am stuck on using QuickTime Pro to come up with a usable .mp4 file for the iPod. I think I am using the right settings, but it's still not working. That's why I included a lot of detail about the specific options in my question. Hopefully, there's someone out there who has used QuickTime Pro for this.

Large file after Exporting to wmv file

I just exported an mp4 file to windows media (wmv) and the file is 4x larger than the original. Is that normal after a conversion?
Nano

I have a similarly related problem. I am converting some video files to .m4v and i notice that even though the total size of the new files will be (for example) 1gig, the size of the folder i save the files to will be around 7gigs. i accidently saved a group of files to the desktop and it seems to have curtailed my harddrive size. i was wondering if you knew of a way to find all the extra fat and free the space back up on my harddrive.

How to export/watch .avi files using Quicktime Pro

Hi there.
I've got Quicktime Pro and I'm trying to convert .avi files so I can play them on my iPhone. I open up the .avi file in Quicktime and then slect the Movie to iPhone option.
It will take about 20 mins or so, but when I open the file all I get is a white screen even though the timer is showing that the movie is playing.
I can't even watch .avi files using Quicktime as all I get is a black screen.
Could someone please help?
Thanks

Thanks, but unfortuntately that didnt work. MPEG Streamclip couldn't play any of the .avi files, it still came up with a white screen while playing.
I tried this with a number of .avi files but I had the same problem.
