Exporting movie for the web

I have a one minute, forty second trailer for my movie that I want to put on our website. I need to export the trailer from my Final Cut Pro timeline and give it to my web guy in a form that can be used for viewers with Windows Media Player. Any ideas on what the best way is to do this? Thanks!

Analog out from DVD player to your DV device (camcorder, VTR or converter) then Firewire from the DV device to your Mac. In FCP, set device contol to "Non-Controllable Device" and use Capture Now.<<</div>
Sorry ... posted to the wrong question!
To answer your question, if you want to do it on a Mac, you'll need to make the purchase. But if you have a Windows system, you can download the free Windows Media Encoder from Microsoft. Lay the movie off to tape then connect your camcorder or VTR to your Windows system and you can encode in RT for free!

Exporting video for the web for windows Media player

What software can i use to compress an AVI file for the web. The finished product will be WMA file.

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.

I need help with exporting project for the web

Probably something i am doing wron g but here are the problems. When I use Quicktime Converter, if I try to convert to a Quicktime movie or an MPEG-4 nothing happens and i get a 'File error;File Unknown message' when i try to convert to an AVI File, it works, but even though I have already rendered the project, it shows up with little flashes of blue that say 'unrendered'. and finally, when I try to make it a w
Windows Media File, it stops after 29 seconds. Any ideas?
I have an iMac with dual core processor, and FCE HD 3.5.1. I have my video files on an external drive.
iMac Mac OS X (10.4.10)

perform a search using the term export for web and it should throw up some ideas.
here's one for starters:

If you're using flip4mac to convert to wmv, the trial stops at 30 seconds - you need at least wmvstudio to export to wmv:

Can I convert a book made in iPhoto to a quicktime movie for the web?

Hi,
Please help, I have a great book that I have made in iPhoto and had printed but would like to post it to my mac website for people to be able to view with all the photos, titles, and audio. Is this possible?
Thanks.
Jim

James:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. There are two ways you can do that.
While in the book mode, do a Print to PDF in the Print window but select the Send PDF to iPhoto option. This will start an Automator process that converts each page to a jpg file and imports it into a user determined album in iPhoto. NOTE: when the process is complete and it's time for you to name or select an album a window will be presented. BUT if often stays behind the other windows and you'll think the process has failed. So make sure you can hide the other windows if it doesn't present itself to you. It took me several tries before I realized what was happening.
Once the pages are in iPHoto as separate files, you can try:
1 - put them in an album and add to an iWeb photo page where they can be viewed individually or as a slideshow.
2 - create a slideshow in iPHoto, export to Quicktime and post that QT movie file to an iWeb page.
3 - create an iDVD project, add a slideshow and import the stills into iDVD to create a slideshow with music. A great gift to go along with a book. This method is explained in Tutorial #6.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Saving movie for the web

Hello again!
So I finished a short 4 minute movie, mostly made of graphics and a screencast. I'm not sure what's the best way to save it for a website and have it stream fast but also maintain good quality. I'd appreciate any kind of assistance please!

Hi
Good going with figuring that out...I didn't know if you were uploading to vimeo or youtube or what...
Your website probably has a server with some datarate and flash probably has settings for streaming it or playing only after buffering some portion of the download to people...I just don't know as I don't use flash... but this part of your question in your post....
have it stream fast but also maintain good quality
will probably best get answered with help here if we know more about what your project settings are ( what you are exporting )...or....you can just experiment with different settings when making your FLV file..
good luck

Compressing movie for the web

Hello All!
Im fairly new to director but have lots of experience with flash. Hope it will become handy
I have eLearning movie that I plan to distribute over the internet but the published dcr is 22mb which is not ideal for preloading. I guess that I need to optimize all the images and audio files inside the movie. My target file size is about 3 to 5mb.
I have some questions, ill be glad to get some inputs
1. as I understand I can compress individual images using director or using external editor (like fireworks). Which way is the preferred one?
2. Since I have hundreds of images to optimize I wonder if there is any script or xtra that knows to batch the compression task?
3. Regarding to audio compression. Can I use external editor? Or I must delete the audio files and re-import them as mp4?
Im using director 11.5 on mac.
Thanks a lot
Shay

Hi again,
I investigate the dir file and I discover lots of audio files in swa format. All of them contain makeover voice. Im pretty sure they should be converted into mp3 or mp4. The big question is how do I do it?
Remind you that i'm using director 11.5 on mac which has not compress audio option in publish settings.
Thanks
Shay

Exporting a masked object for the web

Hi everyone,
I've created a pattern tile in Illustrator and need to export it for the web. The problem is that when I do this, the area that is masked out is showing up in the the save for web dialogue box as a blank transparent area.
Anyone know how to avoid this so that only the pattern tile itself is saved for web?
Appreciate any help.

Hi,
I tried filling a square with a pattern fill then expanding it but this doesn't work because the pattern definition is no longer accurate, ie. I need to use the original pattern object in order for it to tile correctly.
I also tried the two previous suggestions, ie. defining an artboard the size of the pattern and then exporting and also tried defining a slice. Both of these methods failed because it seems illustrator is adding an extra 2 pixels to the overall pattern which destroys the tiling effect.
The only way I could get it to work was to copy the pattern tile, paste it into Photoshop and then trim off 2 pixels from all four sides. This seems like an awful lot of work though. I wish there was an easier way.
By the way I'm using CS4.

Exporting FCP 16:9 to QT for the web in 16:9?

Hello everyone,
I recently began doing my projects in 16:9 mode. I shoot them with my GL2's in 16:9, then capture to FCP as usual. FCP then automatically recognizes the 16:9 footage and adjusts everything perfectly for me. I figured out how to get the footage to DVDSP by 'forcing letterbox'. This plays the true 16:9 footage on a widescreen TV perfectly.
Now, I've come to another bridge that I can't seem to cross... that is... exporting the video to QT for the web in 16:9. I did a lot of searching here and all of the topics related to this did not help me at all. So, what I'm going to do is explain what I used to do when I shot in 4:3 mode:
1. In FCP... File>Export>QT Conversion
2. Format: QT Movie> Options
3. Settings> Sorenson Video 3
4. Frame Rate>15
5. Key Frames: Every 150 frames
6. Compressor> Medium
7. Data Rate: Automatic
8. OK
9. Sound>Settings>Mpeg-4 Audio, 16bit, Stereo
10. OK
11. Prepare for Internet Streaming> Fast Start
12. OK
13. SAVE
This usually turns a full sized 5 minute clip into a nice little presentation for the web no larger than 35 or so MB's. You can see a boat load of files like that on my website at (www.buerhausdesign.com).
Now, what I want to do is get a similar sized video for the web, only in 16:9 as I'm now shooting and editing in 16:9.
Does anyone have step-by-step instructions on how to do this? I know it's possible as I see movie trailors in 16:9 all the time in QT.
Any help would be appreciated:)
Matt

Nope, tried all of that. It stretches the image way beyond 16:9. Currently, if I export as a 4:3 file, the widescreen displays correctly, but I get two black bars at the top and bottom of the frame. Manually sizing to a 16:9 size, to say 720x404, stretches everything... including the unwanted black bars.
When I export to DVDSP, the black bars go away when I 'force letterbox'. There's gotta be a way to get it to work in QT.

Export for the web fails

I am using QT 7.5.5 and keep hitting the same problem trying to export for the web - to make a movie for the iPod - I get the Error message "Export Failed - the operation could not be completed". As with other people I resort to MPeg Streamclip or Compressor but I really liked the ease that this command gave, three different size movies in a folder. Very neat but now, Fail and no explanation.
I've tried different size movies and different types or formats too; all fail.

I'm running QT 7.6.4, and am experiencing a QT issue I can't resolve. Have exported from FCE (settings: best quality, H.264, 720x486 4:3 NTSC). Movie plays fine in QT, but when I use the Export for Web setting, the Desktop version terminates with a"failed export process terminated unexpectedly (11)" message. (iPhone version continues w/no problems.)
I've used these same settings many times and never had a problem. I've tried re-exporting older QT files and they still work, so I'm guessing there's something corrupted in this file...but I've re-exported it from FCE and still same issue.
I've tried this on two different Macs...repaired permissions on both...still no love. I've trolled the web for solutions, none found.
Any input welcome. Thanks.

Should I deinterlase my movie before compressing to a h264 file for the web

Hi I have a movie in fcp that I want to compress for the web. I am going to compress it to a h264 file using quicktime. I was wondering if I should deinterlace the movie before compressing it
thanks sam

I have done it both ways and on computer monitors at least its always been my experience that DEINTERLACING the video looks better. Quite a bit better.
Now there are 2 main ways to do it. And I've gotten similar results both ways. You can deinterlace from within Final Cut Pro which works fine or you can set Compressor to Deinterlace. Now I've read articles on why one is better than the next, but at least with Final Cut Pro 5.1.4 in the videos I've worked on I can't tell the difference. It looks good both ways.
Hope that helps-

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.

Export for the Web and File Naming : Batch problem in Photoshop CC

Is it possible to use "File Naming" when you are using in a batch "Save for the Web" export ?
What I want to do:
I have images that I need to resize, crop and rename (change "filename.jpg" to "filename_850x490.jpg" and make an optimisation for the web
I want to create an action that I can use in a batch
What is working :
I can use my action (resize, crop, save) and use file renaming option if I use "save as" options
I can use my action (resize, crop, save for the web ...) but the file renaming option are not use at the export,
So I have to create two actions (one for resize, crop and rename and an other to compress images with "save for the web"
==> What's wrong with "File rename" and "save for the web"?
Thank You for support !
My Environement :
Photoshop CC : last update
OS : Windows 8 Entreprise - 64 bits
Proc : Intel Xeon CPU E5 3.00 GHz - Ram : 8 GB - GPU : AMD FirePro V5900 (FireGL V)

Probably a lot easier if you use the Image Processor Pro script

Exporting Clipped images for the Web... CONFUSED! ? Help ..? AI CS3

Hi folks,
I don't use Illustrator as much as I'd like, since my workflow is mostly on
the web, but I'm finding it nearly impossible to export images I receive
from print designers for web use. Many of these images are EPS or AI.
They are clipped images, which is great, BUT when I try to Save for the Web,
the error comes back that they are too large for the web and may crash AI.
OR if I export to PNG or PSD, the files lose their transparency and I have
to extract them manually from the white backgrounds, which defeats the whole
purpose. I have tried opening in Fireworks and Photoshop with the same
result. I've changed the originals from CMYK to RGB, but it doesn't help.
Plus the images export with a huge crop area instead of just the image
itself.
I'd really like to be able to use AI, but I'm finding this situation
unworkable. I am sure I'm missing something simple , but I'd appreciate any
help greatly!
Thanks
Jeff

Thanks for your help Jean et al.
I only use Illustrator occasionally and when I have to. Not because I don't
like the idea, but I'm almost completely web oriented and I find its layout
is not as instinctive and smooth as Fireworks, and I use Photoshop for
original layered images. The problem comes when I get a file from a printer
who uses Quark and knows nothing about web prep and exporting for other
uses. He couldn't export a layered file for some reason even though he had
the backgrounds layered for print work.
You are right, I've opened the tiff and eps docs from the printer before and
played with them in AI, and saved them to ai native formats. I *thought* the
eps files were created in ai by the printer, because they had the clipping
paths and artboards. Obviously they were not. They had just opened with the
default 14400 artboard which is why I thought they had been "set." So when I
set the new 30x30 custom, I started seeing these files with a new
artboard...
So, in sum, I first tried to use these files in Photoshop, but they open
as flat files and the clipping paths are lost. Only by experimenting with
ai, did I find the files had clipping paths. I guess what threw me was that
ai could extract clipping paths from eps that Photoshop could not.
