FCPX 10.0.6 - why is the files transcoded as .m4v instead of .mp4 ?
Hi there,
In 10.0.4, after clicking share, the files are transcoded im mp4 format.
But now in FCPX 10.0.6 - why are the files transcoded as .m4v instead of .mp4 ?
In both instances I selected Apple devices.
I noticed both the filesize are about the same.
But the latter took so much longer to transcode.
Any ideas ?
Thanks
Thanks Tom, this is great !
Btw, do you think whether there is any difference in the time taken by FCPX to transcode it to .m4v as against .mp4 ?
Thanks again

FCP has always made .m4v for Apple devices. If you want MPEG-4 for computer you have to change it in the Settings.

Using Premier Pro CC 2014.
Exporting (in H.264 format in HD 720p 23.976 preset) and audio comes out separate while video file is a .m4v instead of .mp4.
Anybody know why audio and video are exporting separately? I can't figure out why. Help is much appreciated.Thank you for the quick response. Unfortunately, that doesn't fix it.
I have the same issue when I try to export it through Adobe Media Encoder. I even tried to go through using After Effects and export through Adobe Media Encoder with the same results. I'm wondering if I might be better off uninstalling then reinstalling all my adobe programs. -

When I narrate my keynote presentation, why is the file size so huge?
When I narrate my keynote presentation, why is the file size so huge?
Here are the steps so you can see all the files that make up your Keynote…
Go to the Finder and find your Keynote file and make sure that it has the .key extension on it. If it doesn't, click it and command i to view info and uncheck the box that says Hide Extension.
Delete the .key and change to .zip and then click the use .zip in the dialog box that comes up
Double click the new .zip file and it will change it to a folder
Open the folder there are the files
Close the folder and add .key to the end of the name and click Add in the dialog box (this will change it back to a Keynote file)
You might be able to do this and convert the voice narration to a smaller format. -
I am on a trial version of InDesign in Creative Cloud and before I purchase need to know why and the files cannot be opened by others using CS6. Isn't Cloud compatible with CS6 design software?
Industry standard files such as JPEG are compatible with many brands/versions of programs
Proprietary files such as those created by InDesign are often not backwards compatible, due to new features in newer program versions
This is not unique to Adobe... MS Word DOCX files are not backwards compatible with earlier versions of MS Word -
Our company recently purchased Adobe Acrobat Pro XI for the purpose of using it for shared electronic reviews. We are using Send for Shared Review created in Adobe Acrobat Pro XI, and all the Comment tools work as expectedexcept the paperclip in Annotations.
When a Word or Excel or Image(png,jpeg) file is attached using the Annotations paperclip, the initiator can initially see and open it. But after Publish Comments is selected and the review file is closed, the file "Name" changes to "Unknown" (although the Description has the correct file name and extension). The Modified information is Unknown, as is the Size and Compressed Size.
When the review file is then re-opened, even the initiator cannot open the file, although:
The file location is marked with the paperclip within the document.
The file name is shown in the Comments List with the initiator's name.
In the Attachments list (the paperclip beneath the Thumbnails and Bookmarks) the Name appears as Unknown, Description shows the file name, Modified is Unknown, Size is Unknown, and Compressed Size is Unknown.
The file Name cannot be edited, although the file Description can be.
We have followed the procedure described in the tutorials but cannot figure out how to troubleshoot this situation. Since this feature was the reason for the purchase of Adobe Acrobat Pro IX, we would any help. Please don't leave out any basics since we are all new users.
We have several people with Adobe Acrobat Pro XI and the rest have Adobe Reader XI and it is a Windows platform. Can someone please give us some advice how to get this feature to work as described?FYI Rave,
There are some other forum entries with this exact same issue...:
Cannot Open Attachments in PDF

How do I move a movie I have synced from iTunes into the "Movies" tab of the Video App? I need to access a slideshow I made in IMovies and may not have WiFi. I did it once, but can't figure out how to do it again! The file is an m4v. Thank you!
Im just guessing but it seems like you would have to get your movie into the correct folder on a computer then use iTunes to sync it to your iPad. If you've synced to a computer and have movies then on your computer should be a folder with the movie in it. You could export your iMovie to something like Dropbox then download from Dropbox to the folder you think it needs to be in the sync your iPad again. Again this is just a guess. Others may have a better answer.

Why are the file sizes of exported jpegs so small?
I shoot raw, studio portraits mostly. I import to Lightroom 5 as DNG and then edit. Upon exporting as jpegs, the file sizes end up way too small, some of the cropped and/or black & white conversions as small as 560 KB, even with slider to 100%. Un-cropped color photos are ending up from 1.5 to 3MB. What am I doing wrong?
Jim,
Thank you for your response. I think some of the difficulties in this thread are that there have been more than one person reporting issues, which may or may not be exactly the same or different from the initial one reported by the original poster. Then, anyone else commenting can easily intermix bits and pieces from any or all of the other posters interrelated issues. Also, I should have added to my last response in clarification what I meant about the overall dimensions. I was referring specifically to inches, not file size, not resolution.
My very first post was a thank you to Rusty's post for his comment about how he had noticed his Resolution setting had been changed from ppi to ppcm. I didn't say anything about printing. In fact, I never even stated what my issue was. I was merely thanking him for sharing information. So, for anyone to tell me that I didn't know what my issue is, that I didn't understand was quite laughable to me. And then the other two posters were almost equally ridiculous, who said that since they didn't experience the same conditions as myself and another person, it couldn't be a programming error.
Trust me, I understand explicitly about resolution, image size, dimensions, file size and how they are all interrelated. Resolution is essentially the density of pixels. (And I'm still used to dpi vs ppi, that's how long I've been working with the concept.) I often help other people understand in whichever mode is most comfortable for them to grasp the knowledge of how to know what size image they need/want to capture and print depending on the types of measurements shown on their equipment used and by whomever they might be working with for finish work.
I have a set process, I have set image sizes, I have an action recorded in Photoshop to shrink my images to 24" x 36" and save them in the proper folder with the proper name and another to shrink them to 8" x 12" and place them in the proper folder with the proper name. I am meticulous, so when the first image imported into Photoshop and it was 18.898" x 28.346", un-cropped, I couldn't figure it out. The file size was still just as large, the resolution was still 72, I hadn't changed any settings in Lightroom or Photoshop, the ONLY thing I had done was install an update. It didn't make sense to me that with the pixel dimensions still being the normal size, all of the sudden the inch dimensions were smaller. And I did need to be able to have the capability for a larger print size if/when I do want to print.
I hope that I'm being clear now. I really was just trying to post a thank you initially. I hadn't expected all of this excess.
I apologize for the troll statement. It wasn't meant for you directly, it was more for the grouping of comments which in my opinion didn't seem to be useful for the discussion and were instead just baiting. I shouldn't have allowed my bad mood to permeate my own comment regardless. I am also sorry for any other statements I made which might have come across wrong. I was trying to be funny with my first comment about programmers, but it might not have come across that way. I hadn't expected the rude and unnecessary comment back which I received, and that's where the trollish comments came from. That's why I only responded to that person once, despite the string of poking posts. -
When saving a powerpoint as a pdf, why does the file get 3x bigger?
I'm trying to send a powerpoint document via email and thought saving it as a pdf would make the file smaller. The ppt is 6.4mb but when I go to file/print/save as pdf, the pdf shows up as being 16.4mb. I've done this now a few times and can't figure out why this is happening. I tried the mac articles under support and there should be an option called "compress pdf" which I can't seem to find anywhere.
Can anyone help please?

Why is the file size so small?
Why is a certain file of about 40 MB that I created, possibly with InDesign CS2, reduced to about 6 MB when I open and rename it using "save as" in InDesign CS4? The 40 MB and 6 MB versions both look identical on the screen and when printed. This just recently happened with one particular file, but not with a similar file. They both contain numerous linked Photoshop images.
I understand that using "save as" deletes possible "undo's" and can reduce the file size. Also, the newer version of InDesign could create a smaller file. But 85% smaller? And why no significant reduction in a similar file.
I don't imagine you often hear complaints about files being too small, but this really has me confused. Anyone ever heard of a similar problem?Many applications do a "fast save". This includes Acrobat and Word for example. The quick save writes new stuff to the end of the file, making the file larger every time even if you delete things. Some apps use "Save as" to go through and do a slower save of only the things still used. I don;t actually know if InDesign works this way but it's quite likely. Fast save also has the advantage that it's much less likely to corrupt the file you are overwriting.

Why is the file browser unable to sort by date added (Safari, Mail, etc)?
When I use the file browser (e.g. when I browse for a file to attach to an email or browse for a file to upload through a form) and try to sort by date added, it doesn't work.
I can see the column for "date added" and it displays the correct date. I can sort by other properties and it works. But when I sort by "date added" it lists files that were added a while ago under "today" and the files recently added are under "no date" (even though they all have a correct date). The list doesn't seem to change day-to-day (e.g. files under "today" remain the same).
Does anyone know what could be wrong? Am I the only one with this issue?Performance tip: Keep the Desktop clutter-free (empty, if possible)
Mac OS X's Desktop is the de facto location for downloaded files, and for many users, in-progress works that will either be organized later or deleted altogether. The desktop can also be gluttonous, however, becoming a catch-all for files that linger indefinitely.
Unfortunately - aside from the effect of disarray it creates - keeping dozens or hundreds of files on the Desktop can significantly degrade performance. Not necessarily because the system is sluggish with regard to rendering the icons on the desktop and storing them in memory persistently (which may be true in some cases), but more likely because keeping an excessive number of items on the Desktop can cause the windowserver process to generate reams of logfiles, which obviously draws resources away from other system tasks. Each of your icons on your desktop is stored as a window in the window server, not as an alias. The more you have stored, the more strain it puts on the window server. Check your desktop for unnecessary icons and clear them out.
Keeping as few items as possible on the Desktop can prove a surprisingly effective performance boon. Even creating a single folder on your Desktop and placing all current and future clutter inside, then logging out and back in can provide an immediately noticeable speed boost, particularly for the Finder.
And it is why Apple invented 'Stacks' for Leopard. -
Recently the file icons of pdf-files shrinked. The icon now is smaller on a white background.
Why?
What does that mean?It's not a white background, it's a small preview of the actual document contents. Obviously not very useful for people with less than great eyesight. I'm currently having a problem with this at my office. I need to switch it back to just a PDF icon so my users aren't freaking out on me.

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.

Why does the file size change when put into an iDVD project? And problems with dual layer discs...
I exported a short video of mine from Final Cut Express and the size of the file came out to 7.3 GB. When I put it into an iDVD project, it says that the file is only 800 MB. I tried just burning it onto a dual layer disc anyway to see if it might still burn at the original file size, but the disc came out unusable for some reason, and obviously hadn't been burned anywhere near full-capacity. So, I tried it again, and the exact same thing happened.
I guess my first question is: why is iDVD changing the size of the file? I want the quality to be the best it can be, so keeping it at 7.3 GB as opposed to 800 MB is rather important.
Secondly, why did the dual layer discs come out unusable? I've burned single layer discs before and they haven't been an issue. Also, I know for a fact that the drive can burn dual layer discs, so that isn't the issue.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can provide me with help on this issue.LivelyJamesS wrote:

Guessing here but it looks like you edited/exported an SD/DV sequence of about 30 min in FCE. DVD needs to be MPEG-2 so iDVD compresses the original file down to the size that you report.

The quality will be what the MPEG-2 compression and the software allow for. MPEG-2 is DVD standard .... there's no way around that.

Guessing again but it would seem that you burned a Data DVD instead of a Video DVD which would be unusable by a set-top player. As I said above you can't get around DVD standards.
If by any chance your video was HD originally you can try to go the Blu-Ray route using Roxio Toast or FCS 3 (discontinued) or FCP X. You will also need a Blu-Ray burner.
