Exporting HD Sizes for Quicktime and AVI?

Okay, LOVE the new CS4, but have a problem.
For tech notes in case it means anything, I'm shooting with a JVC HD-110, editing M2T files. Everything in THAT respect works perfectly - NOW I even have an FS5 drive so it goes even better - dropping all capture time and processes. The Projects are all set up as HDV, 720p at 24p - basically, everything about the Project is set to HD.
When I choose Quicktime or AVI as the Export format, the only Preset options that come up are DV related. Meaning, SD... And when I have to manually type 1280x720 as the export size (upping the default from 720x480) it even reads "1,280" - not a straight "1280", get it?
The resulting render looks horrible - completely unusable - unless my goal is to simulate the old Fisher Pricer Pixel Camcorder ;-)
How do I Export from Premiere's Timeline to an HD format? Or can I download a set or HD Presets to put in the Export Settings (or something) folder for each codec?
Thank you for your time, and any thoughts-

Oh yeah - there's a whole huge list for WMV! MAN you have options there!
No, none of those options are (or seem) available for Quicktime and AVI.
I bounce files back and forth for clients (and myself) for FX work and edits (they prefer the Quicktime Animation codec at 100% - gotta admit, it's beautiful!), and would like to do final output to HD in the end for a project I'm working on right now.

Can only save 32768 colors in quicktime and avi

Hi,
I am using a variation of the JpegImagesToMovie program to store int[] arrays of pixels to quicktime and avi movies. I created a test movie with frames of size 256x256 such that each from contains a gradient of black to white from the top downwards. Since there are 256 shades of grey, I expected a perfectly smooth gradient; however, it only created 32 shades of grey (meaning, it is only using 5-bits of each color channel, hence only 32768 colors total). I set the format as:
      format = new RGBFormat(
          new Dimension(width, height),
          this.length = width*height,
          int[].class,
          frameRate,
          32,
          0x00ff0000,
          0x0000ff00,
          0x000000ff,
          1,
          width,
          Format.FALSE,
          RGBFormat.BIG_ENDIAN);and I am created the colors as:
data[index] = (red << 16) | (green << 8) | blue; where red, green and blue are ints equal to the y-coordinate of the pixel I am setting.
I also tried specifying 24-bit color as opposed to 32-bit. Has any one else seen this effect? Any suggestions? Thanks,
- Mike

Hi again,
Turns out all I needed was to set the compression format as so:
TrackControl tcs[] = processor.getTrackControls();
    for(int i = 0; i < tcs.length; i++) {
      TrackControl c = tcs;
Format f = c.getFormat();
if (f instanceof VideoFormat) {
Format[] fmt = c.getSupportedFormats();
if ((fmt != null) && (fmt.length > 0)) {
for(int j = 0; j < fmt.length; j++) {
if ("MPG4".equals(fmt[j].getEncoding())) {
c.setFormat(fmt[j]);
Thanks anyway,
- Mike

Do I need to export multiple sizes for all standard print sizes? i.e.Say I crop the image in LR to 6'5" x 9' to fit within an 11" x 14" (overall) mat of a framed print.. Now let's say I want to reprint that same image in a 12" x 16" size ... to fit within

Do I need to export multiple sizes for all standard print sizes? i.e.Say I crop the image in LR to 6'5" x 9' to fit within an 11" x 14" (overall) mat of a framed print.. Now let's say I want to reprint that same image in a 12" x 16" size ... to fit within a mat of with overall size of 20" x 24"? Or will the 1st export be "locked" at 6.5" X 9" (proportionately)?

So, for the first one Export it cropped to 6.5 x 9 - and in the Export Dialog box there is a capability to rename the file for exported output - which would allow you to add something like the crop or intention to the base name of the file. e.g. for _IMG0846.nef - setup the output filename to _IMG0846-65x9 for 11x14.jpg and output it at, say 300 or 360 dpi. So, it has a unique name and purpose in your output folder.
For best results, now, re-crop the picture in LR - just open the crop [R] dialog again, reframe the image to the new ratio, 12x16 and Export again - with an adjustment to the filename. e.g. _IMG0846-12x16 for 20x24.jpg
So, now you have two clearly identified image files in your output area and you can provide those to whomever is printing for you, etc. Discard them when you're done since you always have the original to return to to re-frame again as necessary.
This way you get output sharpening and resolution (in pixels) optimized for your output print size. Maybe not super important for smallish prints-but more important for larger ones. Output at 100 quality.

How does one change the font size for folders and/or file lists in the Bookmarks Library?

How does one change the font size for folders and/or file lists in the '''Bookmarks''' Library?
Since the upgrade to version 9.0.1 of Firefox, the Bookmarks feature changes are confusing me. They seem to be confusing themselves as well. The list of bookmarks has changed. The font size is so small that my aging eyes cannot read it without fogging the screen with my breath. Some folders are out of alphabetical order (where I know they were previously good), and some are missing altogether (folders to which I frequently add references).
As for missing or deranged files or folders, was there something that I should have done or now need to do to recover those after the upgrade (or before)?
With regard to font size,
1. there is no “Edit Bookmarks” or like option to edit the list in this version
2. the “zoom” option in the “view” list of functions is greyed out when in “Show All Bookmarks” window
3. expanding the browser window has no effect on font size
4. “Preferences” settings for font size has no effect in that window either, including advanced settings
5. “Help” offers none that I can find.
Can any of you Help?!?

Maybe this extension helps:

What is theoptimal file size for stills, and dpi?

what is theoptimal file size for stills, and dpi?

In video dpi is not relevent. What counts in video is pixels. In FCP most recommendations I have seen is to size your stills so they have no more than 3 times the pixels in your project aspect ratio. For example if your project is 1280x720 then stills should be no more than 3 times the 1280x720. This allows you to crop the stills and still have good resolution. If no cropping is anticipated then they could be the same size as your project.

Convert WMV files to MPEG and/or get Quicktime plug-in for WMV and AVI

Hi Apple experts,
I need to convert some WMV files to MPEG format or something that will play natively on a Mac in QuickTime or iTunes.
I was advised that the VLC app that will convert WMV to MPEG4?... but the page at the URL below indicates that this version of VLC is a player and does not say anything about converting WMV to MPEG...
http://vlc-download.com/download-vlc/?gclid=COrY_NKghKYCFQN7gwoduQy4qA
I would like to convert WMV files to MPEG so they will play in QuickTime or in iTunes on a Mac by just double-clicking them... for family members with Macs like me.
I am working on a PC where I am right now, but I have Macs at home and at work. I am on a PC for the time being at a friends place and I've produced a few .wmv files in Windows Live Movie Maker 2011. (Sorry Steve, it's just for a test).
QuickTime will not play WMV files, nor AVI files, but it indicates that it can use a plug-in to do so, but the QuickTime webpage for plug-ins that it takes me to doesn't have any plug-ins for WMV or AVI format files.
Of course the Windows Media Player plays the WMV and AVI files, but is there also a way to make them play in QuickTime or iTunes besides converting them?
Thanks so much,
numetro

Hi QTKirk,
I would like to be able to just give my family these files on a CD for high-res viewing on a computer, in addition to the DVDs that I have made for their TVs.
Since I don't control what they install on their computers, they don't necessarily have Flip4Mac on their Macs like I do... I just want them to be able to play MPEGs from a file on a CD or on their hard drives by simply double-clicking them.
After working with the recommended VLC player that also allegedly converts WMV files to MPEGs, for 8 hours, I have a result with the 7th attempt that mimics the worst kind of modern digital art that I've ever seen... I wish I could plug in the screenshot of the MPEG video that VLC produced... completely useless garbage.
Are there any other suggestions for a converter that simply handles converting WMV to any kind of MPEG file?
FFE was going to be the one that I tried until I read a post about VLC... that turned out to be a waste of 8 hours of sleepless time.

Using imovie 10.0 - No export for Quicktime and no export setting options

Hi Everyone
I am working with imovie 10.0 on Mavericks 10.9.2 and I am trying to export my video for better qualities then just using the share button and choosing file.
It seems the export to quick time is not there anymore and I want to make sure I get the best quality possible.
Any help with this?
Thank you,
Ash

I'm in the middle of importing family home videos from VHS. It used to be awesome and I could export the exact file I was hoping to upload to a shared media server. Now my 480X640 Videos have black bars on the sides and I can change the proportions of my project! A 26min video at standard def resolution with 480X640 source video is a whopping 2.6Gigs!! These won't even stream from my beefy synology media server on a 30MBS UPLOAD because the buffering keeps pausing these massive files. I have 2 hour movies in 1080p that buffer faster than this 26 min SD VHS video!
C'mon Apple, simplify but lets us dive in and find our original workflow so we can continue to use your products how we have been.
Sincerley, loyal mac fan.. optimistic some export & project features start to magically appear in updates. :-(

Quicktime and .avi Files

Where do I go to get a plug-in for Quicktime to let me play .avi movie files? I went to the site where it says it might be, but I don't see anything for .avi files. Thanks for any help.
PS. I downloaded VLC, but everytime I right click the .avi file, go to open with, then pick VLC, it starts to open then closes.

Yes, that does work, but I'm viewing avi files over
the network, so it's hard to open VLC, then click
open file and go over the network to get the file.
There's got to be an easier way.
In VLC (because this'll come up again) just choose 'open Network' and supply the URL for the stream/resource (in some case you may have to dig into the source of the web page - or the one the link actually directs you to to find something that starts mms:// or RTSP: or similar).
This is particularly handy because in VLC - as in mplayer/ffmpegx and others) you can pipe the output to a file on disk in many cases (I hate streams. I like files.
A helpful link - and good forum: http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?p=49539#49539

Export Constrain Size for 4x6 Proofs

Trying to export a large batch of RAW images into 4x6 (and 6x4)size for proof prints. In "Image Settings" under "Export" I can't find a constrain setting that results in a 4x6 /6x4 images (which I check in CS3) in the 240-300 ppi range. Lightroom export images result in much larger sizes with lower resolution with very large file size. Any suggestions outside of batch processing in CS3 or similar shareware?

Export as 1800x1200 at 300ppi.

Using large block sizes for index and table spaces

" You are not using large blocksizes for your index tablespaces. Oracle research proves that indexes will build flatter tree structures in larger blocksizes.
Is this a generic statement that I can use for all tables or indexes? I also have batch and online activity. My primary target is batch and it should not impact online. Not sure if both have common tables.
How to find the current block size used for tables and index? is there a v$parameter query?
What is an optimal block size value for batch?
How do I know when flatter tree str has been achieved using above changes? Is there a query to determine this?
What about tables, what is the success criterion for tables. can we use the same flat tree str criterion? Is there a query for this?

Is this a generic statement that I can use for all tables or indexes? This is a generic statement used by some consultants. Unfortunately, it is riddled with exceptions and other considerations.
One consultant in particular seems to have anecdotal evidence that using different block sizes for index (big) and data (small) can yield almost miraculous improvements. However, that can not be backed up due to NDA. Many of the rest of us can not duplicate the improvements, and indeed some find situations where that results in a degradation (esp with high insert/update rates from separated transactions).

1) stop using generic tools to analyze specific problems
2) define you problem in detail ()what are you really trying to accomplish - seems like performance tuning, but you never really state that)
3) define the OS and DB version - in detail. Give rev levels and patch levels.
If you are having a serious performance issue, I strongly recommend you look at some performance tuning specialists like "http://www.method-r.com/", "http://www.miracleas.dk/", "http://www.hotsos.com/", "http://www.pythian.com/", or even Oracle's Performance Tuning consultants. Definitely worth the price of admission.

Correct screen sizes for wallpapers and games on V3m RAZR for Verizon?

Does anyone know the correct file size (i.e. 176x144) for
wallpapers and games built for a Razr on the Verizon network? I
know that the Razr is 176x220, but I thought that I remember seeing
somewhere that the wallpapers should be 176x144 and games should be
176x204 because of the top banner that is locked on the screen.
Please advise if you know for sure. The lastest doc that I read
about Verizon said that the status bar took 16pixels. Does anyone
know for sure?

I read this from a brew device data sheet on the V3m:
The display height is 220 pixels. The number of pixels for
status area is 16 pixels in height, so the height for BREW
application display area is (220-16)=204 pixels in height.
I'm not sure about wallpapers though. It looks that the top
bar and bottom bar are the same size. I would developer my
wallpapers at 176x188 (assuming the bottom bar is 16 px as well).
The secondary display is 96x66. Though, I'm not sure how you
could access that, if you want to show a small version of a
wallpaper when its closed.

4 questions on export/importing graphics for Web and Photoshop.

Hi, I have 4 questions here, and if you can answer one or more, I'd be happy!! :-)
1. In general, can there be a loss of quality when I export a file from Illustrator CS3 to Photoshop CS3, and then re-import it into Illustrator?
My guess is that you can switch applications with one single file, but you have to know what you're doing (any advise? I'm working with files that contain both text with either illustrated graphics or photos).
2. When I switch applications like that, which one is the final application I should save my final work from (for use in print and web)? Does this matter at all? (Example: I have text created in Illustrator. I export it into Photoshop and add a filter, and maybe a blured-layer of the the whole graphic.)
3. After completing the steps in the example above, and I do re-import it all back into Illustrator, the image appears with horizontal path-like blue lines, that let me slice the photo/text if I wanted to. Why does it do this and how do I get rid of those blue lines?
4. When exporting a file for web, what options are you setting for .gif and .jpg in order to NOT see its white background/frame around graphic?

1. Yes. The artwork will be rasterized to a fixed resolution in Photoshop. When re-imported it may appear the same, but it will have limited resolution on output, whereas Illustrator vector art has no (or infinite) resolution.
2. Depends on the artwork and what the client or printer has requested. If you can keep the text editable in Illustrator (blur and some Photoshop filters are available) then you'll have a more versatile and resolution independent file than you would if you switched to Photoshop. In the end, if the resolution of you art is adequate, it's up to you which is better for you to work with, based on your skills and experience. Keep all working files so you can make changes to artwork imported from one program into another.
Some features you might enjoy: You can place Illustrator files into Photoshop and make them Smart Objects. They remember they are Illustrator files and can be edited in Illustrator at any time. Rotate, scale, or distort the artwork in Photoshop and it is re-rendered a the PSD file's native resolution. In CS3 you can add filters to Smart Objects while keeping the vector data intact.
3. I have read about this, but as I'm not fully up on CS3 and don't have it installed on my main system I can't help.
4. To not see a white background for JPEG use a different matte colour. JPEGs cannot be transparent, so some colour must show where you want transparency. for GIF, the same applies, but you can turn on transparency. The artwork will be transparent, but the matte colour will determine how the anti-aliased edges are rendered. Use a matte colour that's as close to your expected background as possible or choose None. PNG 24 supports 8-bit transparency, which looks best of all, but is not supported by MS Internet Explorer versions 6 or lower.

Mail is crashing while processing junk. Try this:
1. Make sure Mail is not running.
2. In the Finder, go to HOME/Library/Mail/.
3. Locate LSMMap2 and move it to the Trash. If you see an LSMMap file there, move it to the Trash too.
4. Locate MessageRules.plist and move it to the Desktop. If there is a file called MessageRules.plist.backup, move it to the Desktop too. You may also see MessageSorting.plist files there; this is where Mail 1.x stored the rules, and they are no longer used by Mail 2.0, so just move them to the Trash if you see them.
5. Look for the account folders. The name of each account folder starts with the account type (POP, IMAP, Mac), followed by the account username and the incoming mail server. Open each of the account folders, locate the Junk.mbox folders and move these to the Trash. Note: As a result of doing this, all mail automatically marked as junk by Mail will be lost. If there is a chance that you have legit messages there and you want to preserve them, move them to another mailbox in Mail first -- you may prevent Mail from crashing by shutting down your Internet connection first.
6. Go to HOME/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/. Locate any Junk.mbox folders there (their name may include the account name in parenthesis), and move them to the Trash. Pay attention to any legit messages that could be there, as in the previous step.
7. Launch Mail. Go to Mail > Preferences > Junk Mail, enable junk filtering again, and configure it however you wish. You may want to shut down the Internet connection before launching Mail to prevent it from downloading anything until the junk mail filter has been enabled.
If the above solves the problem and you don't have any rules you'd like to preserve or recreating them is not a daunting task, just delete the MessageRules.plist files that were moved to the Desktop and be done with it.
