HD for web compression problem

I'm trying to compress some HD footage shot on an HVX200 for the web and am having a problem with jagged edges. I'm somewhat new to HD, but this problem resembles interlacing artifacts from my previous DV days. Straight lines aren't straight, they're jagged and the edges around people with white shirts on dark backgrounds have a similar jagged/digital characteristic. Here's how my project is set up.
Shot on HVX200 at 24pn. Edited in FCP and my sequence settings are 960X720 HD (16:9) frame size. Pixel Aspect Ratio of HD (960X720) and QuickTime Video Settings set to Compressor: DVCPRO HD 720p60 at 100% quality.
When I save a self-contained quicktime movie like this and view it on my monitor, no jagged edges. It looks exactly as I'd like it to look after its compressed. However, when I pull it into compressor and try to encode it with h.264, it comes out with the jagged edges. I have the following settings in my Compressor summary:
Format: QT
Width: 480
Height: 360
Pixel Aspect Ratio: Square
Field Output: Same as source
Frame Controls On (Retiming: Fast, Resize filter: linear filter, deinterlace filter: best)
I've tried what feels like all of the various combinations of sequence and compressor settings. Obviously, I've not tried them all. How would I render this out for high quality web display?

Compressing as mp4 instead, I was able to get this to work tweaking some of the settings in there. Only problem now is an enormous file size that I have to work to get down, but whatever my issue was, seems to have been corrected.

Audio output levels for web compression...

What is the highest db setting to use when outputting from Premiere. I just started using it and I did a few test for web compression and the audio seemed low.
I tried some material that I had editied in FCP and setting the same levels for output and it gave me different results.
What is highest we should go at peak level? -3.
Worked with FCP and Soundtrack Pro so I kinda have a system worked mixing audio. Just need to transfer to Premiere.
Thanks in advance

Already, you have gotten three answers, expressing three personal choices. They are somewhat close, but each differs by the editor.
I am glad that you are asking, because one of my really big pet-peeves is to find a tutorial, that I really want to view, only to have an ad, that runs before the tutorial hit at about +6dB above the Audio levels of the tutorial (like ads on many TV broadcasts), and I have to quickly attenuate the Volume, only to have to ride the Volume up, to hear that tutorial. This can be really painful, if I am working with my headphones on.
Though not directly related to your specific question, I find that most DVD's, and BD's have the Intro, and Menu Audio set too loud. When doing authoring, I attenuate the Audio for both down, to slightly below the Levels of the actual disc. I want those to be "background" only, and never want users running for the Volume control.
Good luck, and hope that you do find a "sweet spot," that works for your material.

Save for web filename problems

I'm using a script to export layers to PNGs - but the filenames are getting screwed up.
Here's the export function:
function saveForWebPNG(name){
var docName = activeDocument.name;
docName = docName.slice(0,-4);
toWhere = new File(fullPath+"/"+docName+name+".png");
var opts = new ExportOptionsSaveForWeb();
opts.format = SaveDocumentType.PNG;
opts.PNG8 = false;
opts.transparency = true;
opts.interlaced = false;
opts.quality = 100;
activeDocument.exportDocument(toWhere, ExportType.SAVEFORWEB, opts);
I end up with things like this:
_generic_filter_failed_disabl#0
when it should be:
_generic_filter_failed_disabled.png
I have a feeling this might be to do with the settings trying to limit it to 32 characters (so they're unix compatible) - but if I change the settings in the Save for web dialog it makes no difference.
TIA,
James

> I have a feeling this might be to do with the settings trying to limit it to 32 characters
Yep. It's a hard limit on either the Mac or XP. You may be able to create
filenames with more than 32 characters, but only the first 32 are significant.
Back in the earlier MS-DOS days it was far worse.
>(so they're unix compatible)
Not a unix problem. You're filenames can be incredibly long on unix.
>- but if I change the settings in the Save for web dialog it makes no difference.
I really don't know what that setting controls. I thought it was more like the
character set or encoding of the filenames. Let me know if you figure it out.

Save For Web transparency problem: Overprint & CMYK documents

OK, I had a weird problem crop up today (as far as I can tell) completely out of the blue.
When I am working in overprint preview mode in a CMYK document, and I attempt to save an artboard as a PNG w/ transparency (via Save for Web), illustrator forces a white background throughout the image. It didn't do this until this morning. Yesterday, it was working perfectly normally. I put the computer to sleep at the end of the day, woke it up this morning, and for some reason this behavior has changed.
It does not do this if the document is in RGB mode, or I have the transparency grid shown, or not in overprint preview mode. (I work in this mode because for some reason having it in standard preview shows very strange artifacts when working with raster effects, which drives me crazy)
I'm on a Mid 2014 MBP Retina, 2.5 GHz Intel Core i7, 16GB 1600MHz DDR3 w/ NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 2048MB, running illustrator CC 2014.1.1.
I have tried uninstalling, reinstalling, restarting the computer, resetting all settings, as well as changing document settings, and editing artboard settings. And yes, the transparency checkbox is checked in the Save For Web dialog.
Any ideas?

brnscreative,
Have you tried 4) and 6) on the list?
4) is more thorough than 3), and 6) is the full reinstallation.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file, and when it is not caused by issues with opening a file from external media. You may have tried/done some of them already; 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save current artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible), for CS3 - CC you may find the folder here:
https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/preference-file-location-illustrator.html
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall (ticking the box to delete the preferences), run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

CS4 using Save for Web & Devices Problem

I choose Save for Web & Devices. Select .jpg as file type but on bottom left under preview it says GIF. And I cannot reduce the resolution quality using the slide bar. It always says GIF and file size stays the same. Can anyone tell me how to fix this? It's only been happening the last few days. Worked fine before. Oh and the file I am trying to save is 72dpi RGB less than 200px x 200px. So don't think it's a file settings issue.

Thanks for the response.
The background is transparent and will end up on a white background eventually.
I tried to make it clear in Dreamweaver by scaling it and it did seem to improve it somewhat. But it still doesn't look like the clear copy in Illustrator that I started with...
I also need to be able to embed this in a Word document to print for a hardcopy manual.
I had this same problem with Freehand a few years ago.

Save for Web & Devices problems

Hi. I have sliced all my pieces in PS. I then went to Save for Web and Devices. For some reason my slice tool cannot be grabbed (I click on it and it doesn't turn to slicer). Also, the color table is all gray. No colors. I am going nuts! I have tried everything to make them appear.
I am very new to PS. I am taking a DW class (didnt know I had to have extensive knowledge in PS first, so now learning both programs for school), and my project was due last night. I need to hand it in Thur night but I can't do the things I need to in order to get it ready for DW.
Please help somebody! Thank you so much!
Penne

There is no slice tool inside Save for Web and Devices dialog, you should slice the image first and then select File > Save for Web & Device

Web.xml setup for web application problem

WLS v5.1 on Windows 2000---standard installation.
I am setting up a web app call Kermit with its own web.xml with the
following:
<context-param>
<param-name>weblogic.httpd.servlet.classpath</param-name>
<param-value>c:/weblogic/Kermit/WEB-INF/classes</param-value>

First off, the servlets do not redeployed properly after compilation. Any
changes I made to a servlet, I had to down the weblogic server and bring it
back up. What am I doing wrong with this??
Second, weblogic.httpd.indexDirectories should not allow directory browse ..
but it still does for this app. Am I missing something else?
Third, JSP configuration that specifies where a directory is supposed to be
compiled is useless cuz' it's always compiled in tmpwar dir, which is
dynamically created if not already there. Should I add something else to
this???
Fourth, weblogic.httpd.documentRoot should allow me to just type in a URL,
such as http://relyon1:7001/Kermit, and it should redirect to a
file(specified by welcome-file-list tag) under the directory
web(/weblogic/Kermit/web). However, it's not doing it.
From the documentation that I've read, this should have been very siimple
but it's not working the way the docs have it made it out be.... am I
missing anything else??
Please help.

Currently we only officially support ADF 11g deployment to WebLogic.
There is at least one report of someone running this on Tomcat here:
JDev 11.1.1.1.0 + ADF+ BC4J application on Tomcat6
Note that this will require you to have an ADF runtime license though.

"save optimized as" window in save for web shows desktop but not correct folder

In "where", it shows desktop, with the icon of a folder, and not the name of the folder the picture is in, as is usual, if I cick on the pop down menu,{of the where field) at the bottom i am showing recent places in gray, and then the name of a folder which is on the desktop, but not the one the picture is in. I want to keep the picture in the same folder.
I have been saving for web no problem recently. i quit PS and shut the computer, nothing
PS cs3 10 0 1
in the save as window I have no problem

There's another "drop down" in the save window. To the right of the file name (Save As: field), if you click that arrow, it will allow you to browse to ANY folder or location on the HD to save.

Adobe Photoshop Elements 2 and 'Save for Web' problem

Hi everyone,
I have used Photoshop Elements 2 for some time with absolutely no problems. However when I try to use the save for the web option I get an 'export could not be completed due to a program error' message.
Nothing relevant is mentioned on Adobe's support site. After having gone through the usual 9 troubleshooting procedure I suspect that there is a problem with the 'Save for Web EL' plugin located in the PE 2 plugins folder. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a way I can somehow find a functional plugin?
Thank you for reading this post.
PowerBook G4 DVI 667 Mac OS 9.2.x

I don't use Photoshop elements myself, but from Photoshop CS it works fine. I use JPG compression and optimization. First of all - make sure the file format extensions are all available. Applications/adobe/photoshop elements/file formats AND ALSO Applications/adobe/photoshop elements/photoshop elements only/file formats (here I am assuming the paths are the same or similar to Photoshop). Also, check the extensions disabled folder (Control click on Photoshop and go to package contents). If it's none of these, I suggest you check the settings in Elements when trying to save and make sure you are not using an option that conflicts.
Also, check the Adobe forum. http://www.adobeforums.com
Check for software upgrades also.
You do have enough hard drive space and RAM I assume. If you are using PS Elements and virtual memory is on, you may not have enough phsyical space to save the file (but not likely)
P.S. I see (after i wrote) that you are running 9.2.2 - so the paths will not be the same as if it was on OS X - but they will be similar.

Work Flow - FCE to QT then compress and convert to AVI for web upload

I am creating movie clips that will be 5 to 10 min in length to be streamed on my website. At the current time, my CMS (content management system) for the web cannot accept H.264 (MP4) files, but can accept FLV, AVI and WMV. So, given this constraint, my workflow has been:
1) export from FCE to QT as self contained movie (Large HD files some up to 10GB)
2) compress down to a web usable size (maybe 180MB or so) at 640 X 480 using Elgato Turbo H.264 (however it only converts to .MP4 format)
3) use MPEG Streamslip to convert the compressed file from MP4 to AVI file
4) upload to web
My problem is that I seem to lose quality when converting from MP4 to AVI. Can anyone improve on this workflow or recommend products that might make this process and improve the quality of the final product?
I am still searching the forum, but only finding bits and pieces and not the full picture for my problem.
Thank you.

After doing this a few times, I remember why I was using Elgato...it is very fast and the quality is really good. MPEG Streamslip is almost as fast but slightly lacking in the quality. Still, it is really good. I just need to select the best output from Streamslip for the best quality.

Compressing for web

I've never had a problem with compressor before, but now for some reason when I open a new batch it only gives me apple destinations or custom destinations. I usually have many other options. Does anyone have any idea how I can get the other destinations back or navigate around this? I just need to compress a 4 minute video for web. Thanks!

Change it in the size box of the Quicktime Export window.

Installation Problem Visual Studio Express 2013 for Web on Windows 8.1

Hi,
I am new to Microsoft developing tools and I have spent the last two days trying to install VS Express 2013 for Web on my laptop that's running windows 8.1 (X64,Intel
Core i5 3337U (1.80GHz)).
I run it as an administrator and have enough space on the disk. However, I keep on getting the same error.
Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2013 for Web - ENU Fatal error during installation.
After uninstalling and deleting the temp files, I get an additional error.

It maybe a registry or administrator issue.
Please install VS with administrator.
What's more, it maybe a corrupt registry issue. And you can't install any version of Visual Studio, I think you can use the tool to fix problems that programs cannot be installed or uninstalled. It also can fix the corrupted registry keys.

Save for web - animated gif problem PSE (Mac)

Trying to save an animated gif using Save for Web dialogue box...
works fine, except checkbox "Loop" and delay rate drop down box are highlighted (active) but can't be changed
anyone know reason / fix?

No fix, alas. This has been a problem in the mac version since PSE 6. If your gif is small, you can duplicate layers so that they appear to stay onscreen longer, but the best advice is to not use PSE/mac for this, unfortunately.

GIF/Save for Web problem (PSE 7)

I've tried searching for an answer to this problem but nothing seems to address quite what's happening.
I recently had to replace my laptop, and switched from Windows XP to Windows 7. I transferred PSE 7 from the old system to the new system, and have had no trouble with it- until now. I have a 52-layer Photoshop-format image that I would like to save as an animated .gif, with each layer as a different frame. File >> Save As has the option to save Layers as Frames, but if I check it, then click "Save", nothing happens. Nothing at all. On my old system, I'd get a new dialogue with options like quality, duration per frame, loop, etc, but that's not happening anymore, and nothing saves (if I go to find the new .gif file, it's just not there). If I DON'T choose "Layers as Frames", the .gif dialogue comes up just fine, and it has no trouble saving as a static .gif. But it seems that it's just refusing to save it in animated format.
I'm having the same issue with "Save For Web". Neither the file menu option or the keystroke command will bring up the dialogue to let me save it that way. It thinks for maybe a second, but then doesn't do anything else, and doesn't save the image.
I've already tried resetting the layout, just in case the dialogue box was shifted somewhere I just wasn't seeing, and I tried resetting the Save For Web preferences, but neither of those things worked. Any explanation as to why an animated "Layers as Frames" .gif is the only format that isn't saving properly?
I've also tried opening old animated .gifs that I created with XP, and they will not re-save as animated .gifs either. I get the "Do you want to save the changes made" dialogue, but clicking "Yes" doesn't do anything and doesn't save the updates. I'm at a complete loss for why this function no longer works.

Glad you got it working.
It takes some getting use to the differences between xp and windows 7
in regards to permissions and all that stuff. Even when you install
programs on an administrative account, problems still persist sometimes.
What i do is always install programs by right clicking on the installer and
choosing Run as Administrator even when installing on an account with administrative
permissions. I seem to have less problems doing it that way. Anyway, just something to
keep in mind for the future.

I'm having problems with 8.1 and Continuity / Handoff. It will work fine for web pages, etc. but in email when I try to do it between by iPhone 5s running 8.1 and my Macbook Pro running Yosemite I consistently get an error.

I'm having problems with 8.1 and Continuity / Handoff. It will work fine for web pages, etc. but in email when I try to do it between by iPhone 5s running 8.1 and my Macbook Pro running Yosemite I consistently get an error. "Failed to Continue Activity" Cocoa Error 4609. Handoff is working for phone calls and text messages. By email just crashes each time. It was also doing it under 8.0.2. My iPhone and iPad handle this fine. It's only the MacBook to the iPhone that fails, and only on email.
