Folio Size - lots of video

I have a made a folio -- it has several videos -- when I publish it "fails" -- when I try to preview on my ipad it "fails" -- when I try to download it to my ipad it fails
-- what is teh maximum size that a folio can be?
I am thinking the best way around this would be to eitehr boot several of the videos or to bring in a html5 video player that links out to a video played off of S3.
any ideas?
thx

Ok I figured out my problem.
I agree Neil it's way too big for my users to download -- hey it's way too big to upload.
But I figured out my real issue.
Essentially I had each student layourt their 3 stories h and V individually.
Then they PACKAGED their content in Indesign for me to grade.
upon doing this each layout makes a separate links folder -- duplicating the assetts. As the guy who will wrap the project up I continued to work in this manner.
So when it came time to upload --> each layout was pulling in a separate video (doubling the size of the folio) -- though they were the same video. Essentially making a massive layout -- i asked this question on the forum and Bob Bringhurst just replied saying that I needed to link everything from one file.
This is good news though sets my timeline back a bit in relinking ALL of my content. But also makes me think the suggested way to set up your file system should be a REQUIREMENT and not a suggestion.
I also wish the "package" system in Indesign had a toggle for DPS  --
On that note, if you package content and you have an image sequence it only grabs the first image  -- not the 35 others -- same for panoramas  0 that through a major kink in my workflow.
Anywyas it's been fun learning DPS. I will let you know if I have any more issues.

  • Ways to decrease the folio size

    hi there,
    just designing the second issue of a monthly i-pad magazine, folio size = 425Mb and looking for ways to reduce it to arround 350Mb.
    What I've already done
    - compressed al video to mp4 - 720p with Adobe Media Encoder (using the 720p-25frames ipad setting found there)
    - folio + all articles and as much as possible of the interactive elements are set to pdf
    But all images (a lot) I'm using are imported as large resolution PSD files.
    Someone about whether I can reduce the file size by scaling them down and saving them as jpg ? I thought InDesign did this for me but maybe I'm wrong.
    All other suggestions about reducing folio size are more then welcome.
    Thanx in advance,
    Herman Belgy

    There is a limit to how much you can decrease the file size. Static elements in PDF folios are rasterized at 108ppi (half way between 72 and 144). The videos are really your best bet but at a certain point you'll kill the quality.
    You could stream them but that will require the user to be on line.

  • Can you make a folio size of 1000 x 750 for iPad?

    I have made a test folio this size and I can't seem to get it to load on Adobe Content viewer unless I have the iPad plugged into the computer. Is there a reason why?    I am still in 25v. One of my ipads has IOS7 the other does not.
    I am going to answer: NO
    It appears that ipad doesn't want to load that size. So to make my android users happy I am going to have to make a 4th folio size. ugh!

    No, you can't. The iOS viewer will only open 1024x768 or 2048x1536 folios (well, there's two other sizes that work, but that's really for Woodwing users and they are only a few pixels different).
    Trying to get an exact screen size match for Android devices is an awful lot of work for very little benefit. There are simply too many different Android sizes. Instead you can take advantage of the feature in R28 on Android where we will scale folios up as well as down to fit the Android screen. Then one version, published as PDF for Android, can scale quite nicely for all the different screen sizes there. You could even use your iPad 2 folio for this, assuming you don't have any Apple-specific content.

  • Warp Stabilising footage after changing the size of the video frame size

    Hi everyone. I was wondering if anyone could resolve a problem I'm having with Warp Stabiliser in Adobe Premiere Pro CC. So I'm editing a video for a client and unfortunately a few scenes feature some camera shake, which don't look that aesthetically pleasing so I'm trying my best to get rid of the shake using Warp Stabiliser. I altered the frame size of the video from 1920x1080 to 1920x800 so I can have the 12:5 anamorphic look, however when I try to use Warp Stabiliser now a message pops up saying that it requires clip dimensions to match sequence and that I can fix it by nesting. I'm confused by this, I was wondering if anyone could help me by letting me know how to get round this, cause I would hate to have to do the entire video agin just because I altered the frame size. Thanks a lot.

    For the warp to do its thing the clip needs to be the same as the sequence settings.
    If not you get a warning like you have experienced. The only way to solve this is to nest the clip and then apply the warp to that nest.
    On a side note i would edit everything in 1820x1080 and on export make it 1920x800.
    For reference in your edit you can make a pillerbox matte in the titler.

  • Adobe DPS Android - Folio Size Best Practice

    Hey everyone,
    we designed a magazine for iPad and now want to bring it over to Android. A little bit of research and it seems, that the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7' is one of the most popular tablets. Second to that is the 10' Samsung Galaxy tab.
    The problem I know have is, for which resolution I should re-do my magazine to work on most android devices.
    I read about it (http://blogs.adobe.com/indesigndocs/2012/10/creating-dps-folios-for-android-devices.html), but still would be happy to hear from you guys regarding the following things:
    Would it be wise do set a new folio size 1280x800 (to cover the 10')? I think it will be automatically scaled down to 7' on smaller tablets, right?
    Or is it the better approach to work with an addiotional folio size 1024x600 to target the most popular tablet with 7'. As I recall correctly, the content will not be enlarged on larger tablets like 10', right?
    What if I have a retina-Android-Device. Does the folio automatically scales up like on iPad?
    Personally I would think that approach 1 is the one which makes most sense. content will be displayed fine on 10' and 7' with content slightly smaller on 7' (just like iPad retina and iPad mini).
    What do you guys think?
    Thanks a lot in advance!

    We starting to test publish to Android. Our 1024x786 PDF iPad edition is showing OK on content viewer for android. There is black boarders, but with pich and zoom, it's perfectly viewable. HTLM and web content works fine. We simply don't have the time to recreate folios at various sizes. So our solution works for us.

  • Reducing folio size

    Hi all,
    I am struggling to reduce the folio size of an app, and need to better understand why this is. I need to be able to explain to my client why reducing the size of the images has not made a difference - as this logically makes no sense.
    I have created renditions for the iPad, Android and iPhone. It is quite an image-heavy folio, so the size for all 3 devices is  large (my client has complained that it is too large, as users are expereiencing problems with the download).
    I contacted Adobe and was advised to reduce the size of the images for each device. I changed the resolution to 72ppi, and saved for web as jpg with medium/high compression. I also uploaded the folio as PDF, hoping this would keep the size small.
    However, compared to before editing the images, the iPad and iPhone folios reduced by a mere 2MB, and the Android folio even increased! This just does not make any sense to me, and if I don't understand why this is, I won't be able to explain it to my client either.
    I'd appreciate a logical explanation, and perhaps some advice on how to reduce the folio size (in addition to the image size reduction and uploading it as a PDF folio).
    If someone could reply to this soonest so I can get back to my client with a satisfying answer, that would be much appreciated. THANKS!!!

    Image/Video Optimization is all about compromising with logical thinking and testing employed. In both cases - image and video - there is amount of information that is compressed into the file. The more informative (more detailed, larger size) the image is the less it could be compressed and the bigger you will get the file.
    If there is a video in the folio then you need to optimize it first as videos are much more hungry for the size.
    To make image smaller several things could be done:
    - you may choose less informative picture, e.g. empty swimming pool vs crowded one;
    - you may crop different/smaller part of the original picture;
    - some effects like when one part of the picture focused and the rest is foggy or grainy picture will also reduce the size;
    - replace background for less busy one, e.g. put the image behind the window ( the plain wall around the window is not that informative, isn't it? );
    - lower the quality of the image until it's on the borderline after which it becomes unacceptable;
    - prioritize your images - make some of them smaller pixel wise, some with better quality then the average through the folio and some with less, and some replace with less informative alternative image that could fit for the purpose even better, and some excessively used just delete.
    Image is a 3D object as each 2D pixel of it has the 3rd coordinate - color. So the less bits are used to code the color the smaller the image. Also the more areas with the same color the better the compression: if we reduse1000x1000 pixels photo quality image to 500x500 ( 4 times ) and then enlarge it back to 1000x1000 we will get each 1 pixel of 500x transformed to 4 pixels of the same color.
    Now you just need to test the settings to get the quality-size borderline for each or most of your images. I would start with the new empty folio and add one of your average images to it - this will allow you to compare size of the optimized image to the size of the folio file and get the idea of the folio format overhead and possible  transformation to the image. You may also look into article's articlename.folio file - it's just a plain zip file with all the images inside, so rename it to articlename.folio.zip and open.
    Here you can also read Google's recommendations:

  • Lots and Lots of video tracks...

    Hello Ya'all:
    Just reporting some bugs/discoveries I made in FCP 5.0.3, when using storage which is almost infinetesimally fast. I know FCP supports a maximum of 99 video tracks, but I wonder how many have actually been tested (realistically): Here's some problems I have when doing lots and lots of video tracks:
    Qty. Description
    Up to 10 Fine - no problem.
    12 Program intermittently crashes with no error, when
    sitting idle.
    14 The scroll bar on the right side of the video
    portion of the timeline stops drawing properly,
    but the crashing above goes away.
    16 Crashing is back - scroll bar still not operating
    properly.
    20 Crashing stops, but scroll bar still not drawing
    correctly.
    24 Same as above.
    25 Seem to have hit some sort of maximum, as the
    video portion of the timeline header turns red.

    I rant for lots of reasons...as does Jim.
    I rant when someone with NO CLUE as to the post production process tries to tackle a complex process thinking that FCP is easy. Especially when said people, who previously edited home movies or short films on FCP, suddenly think they can edit broadcast television.
    I rant when people think a simple plugin will edit for them, or suddenly make everything ready for broadcast.
    I rant when someone assumes that FCP can do something it cannot, and is mad for FCP not being able to do it.
    I rant when people don't do their research, buy gear, shoot hours and hours, only to find that it won't work on ANY system...and they blame the system for not working with the new gear, even though the gear came out AFTER the system.
    But mainly I rant for the first reason. Too many people think that editing is easy and that they can just buy a G5, monitor, camera and a few books and be ready for Prime Time. No no no. Even Robert Rodriguez, the ultimate film rebel, took a long time to learn what he learned. I have spent a large part of my career learning post production...broadcast standards, specs, color correction, show timing, audio post...not to mention the art of storytelling. And it really gets on my nerves when someone thinks that they can take an Mac Mini and camcorder and edit a broadcast show...and get angry at Apple for things not working properly.
    Get the proper tools. Get the proper training. Cut your chops by editing a lot and a lot and a lot. Research everything before you buy and jump into a project with a huge deadline. I am venturing into HD...I start editing next week...I have been researching the topic since July and am STILL testing gear and my workflow.
    I am sure there are plenty more reasons I rant, but those are the ones off the top of my head. I just have little patience with people who think that editing is easy and instantaneous. It is hard and time consuming, and if I didn't love it to death I wouldn't do it.

  • How do I reduce the file size of a video?

    I need to reduce the size of a video in imovie to 200 MB.  Can anyone help me please?  Thank you.

    There are a couple of ways you could do it. One would be to make a project of this movie clip, then export it out as an MP4. Another would be to right-click on it and choose "Reveal in Finder," then open it it something like MPEG Streamclip (free download, Google it) and export it out in whatever format your recipient would like.

  • When using Safari on my IPhone 4S videos in Tumblr all seem to autoplay causing the app to crash if there is a page with a lot of videos.

    This started one day out of the blue before I updated to ios 8.0.  The videos used to pull up with the "play" arrow, and you would click on it to play.  Then, one day they all seemed to all load and start playing by themselves.  If it is a page with a lot of videos, I get an error that says "a problem occured with this page so it was reloaded".  It then reloads over and over and over, then the app shuts down and goes back to the home screen.
    I never changed any settings or anything.  It just changed one day.  I updated to ios 8.1 thinking this might fix it, but it didn't.  I even did a restore, and still nothing.
    Any ideas?

    I'm pretty sure this is a new feature of their site - videos autoplay on modern browsers now.  Download the Google Chrome app and see if the issue persists. My guess is it will and there's nothing you can do. It's not an issue with your phone.

  • Maximum folio-size (single-folio apps)

    Hello,
    I am searching for the maximum folio-size of single-folio apps.
    Can someone help me in this case?
    Thank you in advance!
    Regards,
    Sebastian

    I think it's around 2 GB, however it's best if you keep it less than 700-800 MB.

  • Folio size doesn't match asset size

    Hello, I have another question.
    I'm building an article with multiple pages, that's fairly asset heavy. There are seven pages, and each has an MSO with between 6-10 states, containing an almost full-page image in each state. We've reduced the size of each image to around 100KB, so each page should only weigh about 1MB. For some reason, when I'm building the folio, each page adds about 10MB to the folio size. The entire article ends up being almost 100MB! I was expecting it to be on the heavier size, but ten times what I expected was a bit of a shock!
    I've recreated the page from scratch, relinked the images, and started a new folio, but each time the same thing happens. Is this jump in size simply because of the number of pages and large ammount of MSOs? It is the only reason I can come up with for having such a large jump in file size. If this is the problem, is there any way to fix it?
    Thanks for any help!

    Hello,
    What is the purpose of all your multistates?
    Are they image galleries? - if so try and use a HTML image swipe instead;
    MSO's (especially full page MSO's) are notoriously weight heavy - for reasons that make no sense they seem to pile the weight on irrellevant of your asset size.
    Very annoying, but I've never found a fix! Maybe someone on here has though, good luck!

  • I need to increase my FMS buffer size for display video smoothly

    I need to increase my buffer size in FMS.
    Please let me know form where i would be increase my FMS buffer size.
    My video is running from RTMP and i faces the problem to load. video stalled between the running. so i need to increase buffer size for running video smoothly.
    Please reply me as soon as possible so i can resoled my problem.
    Thanks in advance.....

    Hi,
    You can increase the buffer size by using the property bufferTime of NetStream Object you are using. For eg: if ns is your NetStream Object then it can be done by ns.bufferTime=<desired value>.
    Also you can go through this

  • Size of sidebar video

    When placing a sidebar video in an Adobe Presenter 7 project, the video filled the entire sidebar space.  Now using Adobe Presenter 8, the same video file fills only about 2/3's of the sidebar video space.  Does anyone know how get the video to fill the entire sidebar
    space?
    Jim

    @rbalinsky
    You are looking at the live video quality settings. When uploading a FLV video to a share pod, there is not resizing or modification to the video. Just keep in mind that the pod itself may not be the same size as your video. Just make the pod larger and your video should scale to fit the pod.
    Generally speaking, for best results I encode my FLV videos to
    FLV
    H.263
    720X480
    800 Kbps
    But you can go to higher quality settings if needed. It really all comes down to bandwidth required to deliver the media and screen real estate for the media to be played on.
    I would recomend that you don't screen share your video (the desktop is fine), as screen sharing runs at 3-5 FPS (generally speaking), and doesn't deliver audio, so you will get a bad video experience when using screen sharing.

  • How do I create a title whose size matches my video frame size?

    How do I create a 1920x1080 title?
    I'm using Premiere Pro CS4 on Windows 7.  I created a default title.  If I right-click on the title in the Project Explorer and select properties, it says:
      Title Size: 720 x 480
      Pixel Depth: 32
      Pixel Aspect Ratio: 0.9091
    If I drag this title onto a sequence onto a sequence created from the "AVHCD 1080i30 (60i)" preset then the title is automagically scaled to try to get it to fit into the 1920x1080 frame, resulting in a tiny title centered in the frame.  I can make things better by right-clicking the title in the timeline and selecting "Scale to frame size", but that's not a particularly elegant solution (and the title, as displayed in the title editor, still doesn't exactly match the title displayed in the previous monitor).
    How do I create and edit a title whose size matches my video frame size?

    Thanks guys!  I created the first title in a 640x480 sequence and didn't notice that I had the option to fiddle with the frame size when I created it.  Subsequently, I created new titles by duplicating a previously created title (which I had set up with desired font, effects, etc.) and just changing the title text in the title designer.  This worked great as long as I was making titles for a 640x480 sequence.  But when I tried to use a copy of this title in a different sized sequence then things got weird on me.  I spent way too long trying to find the option to resize the title before I finally gave up and decided to spend the time to figure out how to post a question in this forum.
    Just to verify how things work, I verified that the size of a new title does, indeed, default to the size of the currently selected sequence.  No idea what would happen if I had multiple sequences displayed simultaneously.
    Any idea how to change the size of an existing title?
