Help!  converting imovie to flash?

I'm really stumped on this one.  I love editing videos in imovie.  The internet auction company who will be showing our videos at auction time- not such a fan.  He sent me the specs that the videos need to be in order to work on their system.  I'm sooo close I can't give up and use a PC editing program (boo, hiss)
Here are my requirments:
Video Resolution:720x480 widescreen
Video Length: :30 or less
> Frames Per Second: 29.97
Bitrate: 600 kbps
Codec: H.264
File Format:
Flash (F4V)
> File Size:
> 2.5 MB or less
I'm using imovie '11  v 9.0.9.  I'm also using a program called wondershare that will convert from .mov to .f4v.  I can get all requirements but the bitrate.  Wondershare's lowest bitrate choice for flash is 900.  It seems that even when I type in 600 to the "custom" it doesn't stick.  This makes my file size unacceptable.  I've tried reducing the quaility via a quicktime export, same result. 
Does anyone have a good converter?  Is 900 bitrate some kind of magical threshold? 

900kB/s is for an SDef.30fps  video super-low... your video should avoid any fast 'action' nor dissolves.....
Give this a try:
export your iMovie project in any HIGH quality.
open that exported file with MpegStreamclip
Export to Quicktime, resolution, frame-rate, bit-rate, codec h.264
(if you're familiar with codecs&stuff: download and install x.264 - which is known for better results with low-bitrates)
finally, use Wondershare to re-wrap (do NOT re-encode!) the resulting mov to a flv
... a bit old-fashioned,hm?
SDef + 'flash video'??

  • Need help converting quicktime movies into Flash files

    I need to convert a QT, PhotoJPEG compressed, movie file into a .flv format. I have AE 6.5 Standard and it keeps quitting on exporting a SWV file which would could probably get me by with my client. But, again, it errors out saying something like a JPG is busy, or a file is busy.
    I have FlipforMac,a purchased version. But I'm not sure if converting it into a .wmv and then a Flash file is the best route or is even possible.
    Any suggestions or ideas of software that I could purchase??

    i don't think you have read up on the use of flash video
    (FLV). there's nothing you need that you do
    not already have (except maybe quicktime pro or some other
    video editing program). the FLV exporter
    comes FREE with flash 8. You should be able to open your
    quicktime movie in QT PRO and export to FLV
    format - then use any of the flash playback components for
    FLV files - best bet is to read the help
    docs on this subject and go to the devnet section of
    adobe.com where there are several in-depth
    articles about implementing flash video into your site.

  • Convert iMovie project to divX

    I would like to convert iMovie projects to divX format. I have a DVD player which accepts the tiny USB flash/zip/thumb drives but will only play video in divX. I wanted to transfer the converted iMovie project to the little drive for a quick look at the iMovie project on TV before burning to DVD disc using either Toast 8 or iDVD. I do have mpeg streamclip with the component but have searched the forums and support and cannot find anything relevent.

    Found the answer via Google. The process is explained very clearly on a YouTube video:

  • Converting imovie video to mp3

    I want to make uploading a video on youtube more faster and mp4 slows the processing down what can i do?

    ...  and mp4 slows the processing down ...
    compared to what?
    YT accepts just a handfull of formats.. the YT-upload preset converts into the most useful - size/resolution/bitrate.
    'speed' is defined by your ISPs bandwidth ...
    You can reduce the file.size only by reducing quality = smaller resolution, lower frame rate, lower bit-rate ... is that what you want?

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Here it is in 8.2, though once you see it, I think you will find it would be easier to just use Read From Spreadsheet File.

  • Download helper converts to .flv instead of .avi

    since a few months when downloading a video from the same source, the download helper converts to .flv and no longer to.avi.
    what do I need to do to have .avi?
    Even if it downloads as .avi, it converts automatically to .flv .
    Thank you for help.

    The first thing that you need to consider is whether or not
    this project
    will work well on the web. If you have to make a bunch of
    compromises to
    get it working on the web, then it may not represent you
    well.
    That said, you can use FLVs in Director MX 2004 with the
    latest updates.
    However, you can't stream the FLVs, you have to encapsulate
    each one in
    an SWF and then use the SWF. So if its the streaming that
    you're after,
    you may want to use QT instead. You can stream that.
    Regardless of the video media that you use, you need to be
    sure that you
    aren't taking a smooth CD based experience and turning it
    into a click
    and wait, click and wait, less than elegant web experience.
    If you want
    to showcase your video capabilities then you may want to
    build a web
    specific tool. Or, you may want to let site visitors request
    a CD to be
    mailed to them.

  • How can I convert imovie into photo's

    How can I convert imovie into photo's

    For iMovie 11, you will need to download a free tool called MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5. (Google it). This is a very handy tool to have if you make videos.
    In iMovie, select the clip that contains the frame that you want. Right-click on the clip and select Reveal in Finder.
    You should see the clip highlighted in the Finder. Drag this clip into MPEG Streamclip. Move the playhead to the frame you want. Then click FILE/EXPORT FRAME. You can choose JPEG, TIFF, or PNG.
