HDV files downsize for 16:9 web viewing

I am unsure of which method to use with compressor or quick time to get my HVD 1080i exported to a much smaller , internet friendly size and retain the 16:9 aspect ratio.

You can choose one of the H.264 presets in the Apple>Other Workflows> Web > Downloads > QuickTime 7 Compatible folder in the Settings window.
Once you apply it, click on the Geometry pane in the Inspector and Dimensions section choose "Custom (16:9)" from the pop-up menu. This will adjust the height value relative to the width value. To make the movie larger, increase the width value and Compressor will automatically adjust the height and keep it in the proper aspect ratio.

Hi,
First of all, you'll need to work out if the problem is install/machine based, or user-based. Get the users than can't open the file to log in on the machines of the two people that can open the report. What happens?
If they can open the report on the other machine, it's a client issue, I'd suggest a double-check that the versions match and/or a re-install.
If they can't open the reports on the other machines then it's a server/user problem. Either examine the user accounts to identify the differences, or just re-create the users from scratch to match the two users who can open the reports.

What's the best file format for exporting to web?

Hey Everyone- I design Hot Rods using an older CS3 version of Illustrator. The art board is 16x20". When I print I use Walmart's photo lab and with an exported jpeg file at 150 dpi the print looks crisp and nice and highly detailed. When I save a file for emailing proofs to clients or posting on car forums, I have been exporting the file as 72 dpi at 10" wide. When I do this the art often looks a bit blurry and not near as crisp as the vector file.
I have to have the files viewable via the internet, this is how I do all my marketing for new customers. They need to be relatively low in file size to load quickly in forums and such. What's the best way to accomplish this without losing resolution quality?
Below is an example. This one turned out ok, but some detail gets lost between the vector file viewed at the same size and the web based jpeg.
Thanks in advance for any insight!

HRD,
You may use PDF for proof and anything else but web/screen use, for unlimited crispness and smoothness.
For web and the like, the obvious way may be PNG24 with transpanency at exactly the same size in pixels x pixels that it is being shown at, and with Art Optimized ticked in the Image Size window. That should give crisper images than JPEG.

Links to XLS files not working when in Web View Mode

I have AA 8.1.2 and Office 2003 on XP. We have deployed a PDF document with links to many external documents stored in a folder on a Web server.The main document is in another folder on the same folder. All the documents will open except the .XLS Excel files. It appeares that the Adobe add in to IE is not handing over control to Excel. Word documents will open as will other PDFs. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Make sure you have Tools > Options > General Tab
"Ignore other applications" checkbox turned on in Excel.

PDF fast web view option don't work like the specification Acrobat Reader suggest...

I have an optimized/linear PDF file for support fast web viewing option.
My issue is about the plugin comportment. In the Adobe specification, when the plugin receive a large optimized PDF file, he suppose to be began to read and show the PDF file after the first page received from the web server.
In my case it's not worked properly. The plugin show me the PDF file after the download finish.
When I check the Acrobat Reader 8.1 internet settings, all fast web view options are checked properly.
If I look the PDF file properties the fast web view value is yes.
I don't know what is wrong in my setup.
Some help will be appreciate.
Thank's.

If the file is public, I suggest you post the URL for others to try
out.

Enable Fast Web View using ODC

Hi Friends,
Please guide me how to enable "Fast Web View" Property to PDF which generated using Oracle Document Capture.
Fast Web View:
Fast Web View restructures a PDF document for page-at-a-time downloading (byte-serving) from web servers. With Fast Web View, the web server sends only the requested page, rather than the entire PDF. This is especially important with large documents that can take a long time to download from a server.
Verify that an existing PDF is enabled for Fast Web View:
Do one of the following:
■Open the PDF in Acrobat, and choose File > Properties. Look in the lower right area of the Description panel of the dialog box for the Fast Web View setting (Yes or No).
■(Windows only) In Windows Explorer, right-click the PDF file icon and choose Properties. Click the PDF tab and look near the bottom of the panel for the Fast Web View setting (Yes or No).
Thanks,
Selva

Hi Nikhil,
From fast Web View do you mean that your PDF is taking time in opening? If this is the case, then generally it depends on the amount of data you are displaying on the form, if your form has large number of drop downs with huge data then it will take time in displaying the form.
Other problem may be the version of the form, Adobe 8.0.1 takes more time in opening, SAP Note 1104060 can help you if you are on version 8.
Hope this helps,
Amit

Importing HDV files (.m2t) no audio in timeline (or sound gaps in audio file) ONLY IN CS6 !

After importing HDV files, wait for conforming, and drop the files to sequence, on some files there is no audio at all or partial audio.
All files played OK in any mediaplayer.
I have no such problems in CS5 or 5.5 using the same files in the same project and sequence type. HDV 1080i/25
I reinstall PR CS6 and I delete all ".cfa" and ".pek" files, but no success.

All right so what I just discover so far in order to resolve this non sense bug thing, I've exported the faulted sequence in EDL, track by track.
On the original sequence, I had a Prores 422 video clip name "Clip 497" that was manually sync with an audio file call "Audio 10".
At another timecode in the original timeline, I had a h264 clip name "MVI_0050" that was synced with an audio file call "Tascam_0455".
I said that when I select only an audio file in the timeline and I make reveal in the project, it links me to the correct audio file in the bin but when I make match frame or reveal in the finder, it links the audio to a video file. The
Well the EDL just confirmed that, in the timeline created by the EDL, I have to relink manually all the files (wich is a pain in...) and my mysterious audio file "Audio 10" appears with the name "MVI_0050", I can still link it to the original "Audio 10" but I don't understand HOW an audio get to be linked to a video file......
The audio file coming from the Tascam still have their original names in the timeline.
Very weird and not very cool.
Oh and guess what, after closing Premiere and re open it, my sequence coming from the EDL where I spent 1 hours to manually relink the media....does not have sound anymore.......................

Can i still use Fast Web View for PDF/A files?

Can i still use Fast Web View for PDF/A files?
In other words, just becasue I am using PDF/A, can I still select the page i need in a long document and see it before the entire file has loaded?

macjack has a very valid point, so you might want to consider a second drive for files.
To partition, you need to boot into the Recovery Volume (command - R) on restart. Select Disk Utility.
Step 1 - select the hard drive.
Step 2 - select the Partition tab.
Step 3 - select the current partition and then use the lower right corner to push up and resize the partition.
Step 4 - click the plus sign to add a partition. Then select the new partition.
Step 5 - Name the new partition and select the format. The one shown in the screen shot is generally recomended.
Step 6 - Hit apply.
This procedure can be reversed at a later date if you find your Time Machine backup needs more space.

"Fast Web View" not supported in Acrobat X plug-in for FireFox/Chrome

The Acrobat X plug-in for displaying PDFs in FireFox/Chrome does NOT support fast web view. This means that PDFs don't display until after the entire file has been download.
For example, try viewing this document in either IE(Windows) or Safari(Mac):
http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/pdf/PDFReference.pdf
Notice how it opens very quickly, and then you can scroll around and view all the content as the PDF content strreams in? In Safari you can see the download progress like you used to be able to see in all versions of the acrobat plug-in. Note also that in the IE version, although fast web view is working, you cannot see the download progress like you used to be able to... Thats an issue, but not nearly as bad as the real issue...
Now try clicking the same link in either FireFox or Chrome (note that in Chrome you need to be sure that Chrome's PDF viewer is turned off and the acrobat plug-in is enabled). Note that the PDF is not displayed until the entire file is downloaded.
This feature is VITAL for viewing large documents online. I'm astonished that this has not been reported by other users.
Adobe -- PLEASE be sure that this gets fixed in the next update to Reader X!! I was shocked to see that it was not fixed in 10.1.

WHY would you want to disable this? Linearized "Fast Web View" enabled PDF are the right and proper type of document to be created.

Unable to enable "Fast Web View" in an existing PDF/A file.

I have a pre-existing PDF/A file that I'd like to optimize for web publishing (i.e. enable "Fast Web View"). I have done this kind of conversion in the past using Adobe Acrobat Professional 9.0 and X but whenever I attempt to do so for this particular file via Tools and/or by making the changes in Preferences and executing a "Save As" the Fast Web View is still set to "No". We have attempted to make this change using Ghostscript but that too has proven unsuccessful. The file is 2.6 GB and I have attached a screenshot of the properties of said PDF/A for reference. Has anyone encountered this before and found a way to modify the file? Thanks.

Tricky one. It might not be possible, since modifying to PDF/A might turn off optimization, while optimizing might turn off PDF/A... I think people have largely lost interest in fast web view since broadband is mostly so, well, broad.

Exporting PDF format for web viewing, fonts look bad

Hey everybody I'm relatively new to indesign so sorry if this is a simple one. I'm doing a newsletter in indesign, which will be used stricktly for web viewing. Whenever I export the file as a pdf the body text fonts look a bit off, as though they are slightly pixelated around the edges. This is not as noticable in the artcile titles with larger font, but any smaller font (i'm using size 14, and futura book) and it gets this pixelation, it is even more noticeable in the thinner type sets of the font. Another odd thing is the first page of the newsletter the fonts are more messed up looking than the following pages where the same font types and sizes are used, the only major difference is the first page has a photo on it, but the fonts that look weird are below the photo not overlaying it or anything like that. I turned off all the compression on the pdf export, also tried it will varying amounts of compression but still have the same issue. And I am viewing this in Mac's Preview program, not acrobat.

Ok, just checked through all the flattening preview highlights and everything looked fine in that. Since my exported document looked perfectly fine in acrobat, but sort of pixelated in mac's preview, is there any way around that?
If you are serving the PDF via a web address it will very likely be viewed in a browser (not downloaded and opened in an app like Preview or Reader). All of the browser displays have slightly different anti-aliasing, which you can see if you zoom in on a screen capture of the text. Here's a line of text from your PDF at 100%, magnified to 400% in Photoshop. From top to bottom Safari, Chrome, Firefox:
There's nothing you can do about the anti-aliasing quality of the different browsers and apps. The PDF you posted has live transparency, so it isn't a flattening issue.

No thumbnails in PRE12 for m2t hdv files

Hi folks
I have similar issue as some others and did not reslolve it with information from other threads. HDV from Canon HV40 camera either directly read by PRE or prepared by HDVsplit can be played and used in timeline or project but in Organizer thumbnails are without pictures. Thumbnails in project data window are OK but too big to be used. In PRE3 thumbnails could be set to small and therefore they were managable but this option is missing in PRE11 and 12.
W7, recent freshly installed Quicktime (7.7.4). Uninstalled Haali media splitter, Uninstalled ffdshow. Uninstalled VLC player.
When I made m2t file from footage with PRE12 it worked on Organizer correctly, but when the file is from camera, even donloaded with PRE, it does not work.
I do not want reinstall Windows as a last resort as other programs like Powerdirector worked (it is gone half a year ago because I prefer PRE for some neat features but without resolving this issue PRE is unworkable).
Thanks for hints.

Premiere Elements Windows Project Assets
I am not sure if your target question is really about thumbnails in Project Assets or not. Or is the target rather an aside comment to your real problem display of MPEG2.mpg or MPEG2.m2t in thumbnails representing your HDV files in the Elements Organizer 12?
Assuming for the moment that your target is the size of the thumbnails in the Premiere Elements 12 Projects Assets.
a. Project Assets has two different views, List and Grid (block looking). When you are in the List view, you can right click on a blank space in that area to get a pop up which includes an option for thumbnail size (Off, Small, Medium, or Large).
b. Also, did you know that you can organize your Project Assets contents into folders?
Elements Organizer 12
a. Please correct me if I am wrong, but the issue (no first frame of video in Elements Organizer 12 thumbnail) resides only with HDV from your camera.
In the case of HDV data capture firewire into Premiere Elements Capture Windows (MPEG2.mpg on the Timeline)
or
In the case of HDV data capture firewire into HDVSplit, followed by import of the MPEG2.m2t files into a Premiere Elements HDV project (MPEG2.m2t on the Timeline).
b. Yet you say that, if you export a Timeline content to MPEG2.m2t saved to the computer hard drive, there is no problem in the representation of it (first frame view et al) in Elements Organizer 12.
I do not have a sample file from your Canon camera. And, when I export my Premiere Elements 12 Timeline to MPEG2.m2t and bring that saved file to the Elements Organizer 12 (File Menu/Photos and Videos/fro...), the Elements Organizer 12 crashes specific to that file. On the other hand, I can import that same MPEG2.m2t into a Premiere Elements 12 project without problem. And, it automatically is placed in the Elements Organizer 12 (thumbnail with gray content). If I right click that thumbnail and select Update Thumbnail, the Elements Organizer 12 crashes.
More work needs to be done to define this issue further.
Please review.
Thanks.

Publish for web viewing?

I haven't found enough information about web viewing of
Captivate 3 screencasts.
I don't have a flash server, but I have a CMS capable of
serving individual swf or flv files. But in my output I have three
different swf files (not to mention an html).
For the sake of web viewing/streaming, what are my options?
1)is there a way in Captivate to convert it to a single file?
2)Are there any utilities for coverting to avi/mpeg? So far,
the only thing I've found is
http://www.adshareit.com/howto-swf-to-video.html,
but I don't know what settings to use. I tried its default
settings, and the result was three mpegs, all of them were huge and
none were usable.
3)are there special settings you should set up in Captivate
for web viewing?
4)my cms (which is specialized) has some ability to play
flash media files within a viewer, but am unsure exactly. How would
an embedded flash player on a website be able to view a captivate
video?
From a standpoint of latency and performance, is the best
option to just upload the three files to a web directory and give
the user the URL for the html file?

Hello again Robert
Without seeing your actual output files it's a bit difficult
to say exactly what each file is for. But I can toss out some
generic information.
Often when you record a project in Captivate and publish the
output you will end up with four basic files.
ProjectName.SWF (Contains the bulk of your presentation)
ProjectName_skin.SWF (Contains the Playback Controls and adds
one or more Borders surrounding the main part of your presentation)
standard.js (An externally referenced JavaScript file. This
was was used to prevent seeing the "Click to activate" message that
Microsoft Internet Explorer used to issue when it played Flash
content. But IE has been updated so this message no longer appears.
Even so, the standard.js file is still necessary in order to
properly display your content.)
ProjectName.htm (An HTML file that is used to present the
Flash presentation)
Depending on what and how you recorded, there may be other
files involved too. You could see one or more Full Motion files
among the mix.
Additionally, if you used some of the supplied animations
that ship with Captivate, you could see those as well.
Hopefully this was helpful... Rick

Output to other formats for web viewing

HI all,
I was wondering if anyone has found anything handy for shunting out projects for web approvals. I use h264 using the broadband setting high on my work and it looks super. for 16 9 i scale the dimensions to 480 x 270 manually.
The file size is small and good for quicktime 7 viewers.
However, has anyone any concrete experience using flip4mac or other not hideously expensive encoders. particularly dvcam widescreen friendly ones. some of my clients are resistant to using quicktime as their web viewer( although they are losing the fight over time to quicktime)
cheers and thanks,
Jon

I use Media Cleaner 6. You can convert DV files to various different formats...
AVI
WMV
MPEG-1
MPEG-2
MPEG-4
QT
RealMedia
AIFF
WAV
BMP, JPEG, PICT, PNG
MP3
(etc.)
...and there's a decent amount of control over the encode settings.
I think it's about $500 new, $250 used. I guess that could be hideously expensive if you're a freelancer or reasonably-priced if you're working for a post-house.
Hope that helps!

Best for Web viewing

Hello All,
I was wondering if anyone out there had any suggestions on which is the best way to export my video for web viewing.
Currently I have a project that was only 1.9MB big but when I exported it to a .mov file it came out to be over 350MB large!
My project is currently exporting at 720x480, 29397 [fps], Lower, Quality 50 - Audio at 32000 Hz, Mono, 16bit - DV/DVCPRO - NTSC.
I understand that the 720x480 will have to be reduced and was wonering if anyone out there had any suggestions how to "shrink" the video and make it the best quality for web viewing..
Thank you!

Currently I have a project that was only 1.9MB big but when I exported it to a .mov file it came out to be over 350MB large!
You are not comparing things correctly. The Project File is no indicator of what the export file is likely to be because it does not include the size of all the clips and media contained in your project. THe ppj is kind of an organisational list of all your edit decisions and the locations of the media theyrefer to etc...
