Help with exporting A Small AVI

I am working on a project for school using my schools computers to edit with Premiere Pro and After Effects cs3. I edited my project and exported it through the media encoder using H2.64 codec ane exported it as a .mp4 and it was slow for the my teacher to show to the class. He says it needs to be an avi but how do i export it as an avi and not have it a large file? The mp4 was only 1.4 gb but how large should the avi be and what would be the best export settings? The clips are 1920x1080 and where converted using cineform's neoscene. Thanks you!

The VT5 is basically a switcher with greatly enhanced capabilities, so is only one step in the chain.
I am wondering if the computer, to which the VT 5 is installed/attached, can handle DivX material (CODEC) in an AVI wrapper. This will rely on that DivX CODEC being installed on the host computer.
If so, you can install the DivX CODEC on your computer and then output MS AVI, choosing the DivX CODEC in the Advanced/Encoding settings. This will result in a highly-compressed file in the AVI format. Though highly-compressed, the output quality for streaming media is very good. Note: you will not need the "Pro" version of DivX, as you will be using only the CODEC (free) and letting PrPro do the encoding for you.
Ask your instructor if the DivX CODEC will be acceptable to him/her. If so, that would be my choice for acceptable streaming quality and small file size, and it will be in the AVI "wrapper."
You did not state if you have an SD (Standard Def), or HD (High Def) Project, or I just missed that. If SD, then the next best choice would be DV-AVI Type II file, but the file size WILL be larger, at ~ 13GB / hour Duration. I would choose this, and deliver the file on an external device, like a stick, or external HDD (7200 RPM).
Good luck,

Help with exporting AVI

I have an avi file thats 4.6GB. I am trying to simply import it add a title across it and export it as Avi. No problem importing it or adding title,but when i go to export I get a clip that is 8.6 GB (thats not a problem either) but the clip only plays a minute long and the title is not there. Opening in VLC it says avi file is broken. I can export a 3 minute clip with same settings and it works fine. Longer clip gets funky. Am exporting using Quicktime/ Movie to AVI/Copression DVCPRO50-NTSC/quality best/Interlaced 16:9 ratio. Antbody have an idea why this is doing this?

Help with exporting and image size or boundaries?

I am trying to slide the cat into the scene a little at a time foir an animation project I am working on. However, when I export the image the back ground of the image expands with a checkered back ground( showing here in white) and shows the whole cat.
How do I just show a little of the cat on the image at a time when exporting. I am trying to give the impression that the cat is walking into the room. I do not want to have to cut the cat up.
I would be thankful for any suggestions.

Help with exporting Deski to text file via Web Intelligence

We are currently converting from BO version 5 to BO XI rev2. I have a report that must be scheduled to a flie in plain text format. I am using a deski report. When I save as to text, the file is fine. When I schedule it in webi, the file seems to be missing the end of line character for each row in the table, so it cannot be used for an import to another program. Can anybody help with this?-

well, in that case you need to determine if this issue only happens with a perticular report or all of them, if it happens only with reports imported from 5.x or with newly created reports as well.
Looks like it is happening only when report is exported from Infoview, not in the Deski client. This might indicate a problem at the Web Apllication server (tomcat or one you use).
If this issue is happening with any report - it might be a bug. In that case you have no options as there are no more patches for XIR2.
On the other hand - if all you need is to extract data for consumption in another tool , why not use Data integrator instead ?
Also, if this desn't work in Deski - does it work if you convert your reports to webi and export from those ?

Need help with Export workflow.

Hello again.
Today I was experimenting with exporting a project using Export QT Movie and QT Conversion.
My goal is to show a QT project on the web, either 640x480 or 320xx240, depending on how monstrous the file size is.
My initial impression was that export QT Movie simply generates (I'm guessing) a full size rendering of the project. It's icon is a FC icon. What I did then was an "Open with..." quicktime(pro). This is where I get confused: I know that the next steps are for for preparing the project for sizes, compressions and so on. The export to QT movie seems to be a longer route to get to the settings that you need to use in QT Conversion, which after selecting QT conversion, you have the Format, Use, and Options settings.
Am I right so far?
Some background about my project- Easy setup= DV-NTSC. If I look in my browser, my clips are 720x480, 29.97fps, Compressor(?)DV/DVCPRO-NTSC, pixel aspect ratio, NTSC-CCIR 601 and anamorphic is checked.
I also have still photos motion control stuff, PS tiffs, that do not have anamorphic checked.
Form here on is where I get confused.
Under settings, I am selecting DV/dvc-NTSC for compression frame rate 29.97, medium compressor, scan mode, interlaced, and aspect 4:3.
The filters setting I don't use.
The size setting I'm trying 320x240 with aspect ratio and de interlace video UNCHECKED.
Is this a good workflow for the web. I notice on 640x480 my titles (livetype) seem kind of jagged.
Any help preparing a project for the web would be appreciated. If you need more info let me know.
Thanks so much.
Jonathan

Thanks for the additional comments and ideas.
In terms of profile, as I mentioned, the intermediates will be going off to the editor (off-site) for editing on his FCP suite. I'll stick to working in the prescribed HDTV (Rec. 709) space, and I've given him all the detail I can of how I'm working, but crucially I haven't stood at his edit-suite to see how the stuff looks.
But, he's no newbie, so I'm hoping it'll be OK.
Blasted shame about the H.264 BluRay not being compatible with QT - I thought I had this whole issue beat until that came along. It's not a matter of disk space here, but the editor is mithering that the intermediates we are testing, in either PNG, or Animation, and a couple of others, are choking his playback.
I'm not sure what to say about that, other than to go down this road of trying to squish these intermediates as low as possible without wrecking the look, hence finding that the DNxHD is providing the best solution. If it had been a SD project, I might well have tried the native H.264, even over our normal PNG workflow.
So what will play the native H.264 BluRay compressed output?
Julian.

Need urgent help with exporting movie

I have a simple 7-minute project on FCP 7 that consists of still images from the internet and hand drawn images with a few animated elements.
It has only one audio track and two video tracks. I am using PAL DV size format. I am in the UK.
I exported it using quicktime conversion with H264 compression and good quality and the final file size was 125MB.
My urgent problem is that I need to upload this file to a university website for an online course in two days, and their file size limit is 50 MB.
I need to make sure that the teacher can play the file, and I need to get it down to a smaller file size for uploading.
I have tried all sorts of exporting from FCP. I tried avi, m4v (the setting said ipod and it produced the m4v file), and quicktime mov at different sizes like 1/4vga size. The best file size was 29 mb for the m4v ipod export, and 98mb for the qt mov file exported at medium quality. The avi file grew to 1.2gb!
I don't know if the m4v file is playable on the system that the teacher uses (she is on a windows computer).
Can anyone please give me some specific advice on how to create a smaller video file that is more universally compatible?
I have access to all of the FCP 7 suite and the Adobe CS6 suite which includes Premiere Pro, Prelude and Adobe Media encoder, if that helps.
Thanks a lot for any advice.

Hi Luis
The advice you've been given is good for helping you to get a good quality video at a reasonable file size.
But it may be worth thinking more about which format will certainly play on your teacher's PC. The most likely player on any PC is Windows Media Player, which tens to be installed by default.
The most likely video to be viewed on a PC is one from YouTube... andH.264 is supported on all "modern" PCs. QuickTime Player is free and very available.
A disadvantage for Mac users is that yoou'll ned the Flip4Mac plugin to create WMV movies. I think the cheapest paid version of Flip4Mac costs around £30.
All you need on a Mac fis the free Flip4Mac player.
If you get that, and choose the web high I quality setting, you should have a file within 50MB that plays reliably and looks OK. (A cheaper way of doing this, if you have access to a PC, is to use the free Windows Media Encoder).
Best of luck

I need help with exporting 720p video for youtube.

Hi everyone, I have been using Adobe premeir for almost a year now and I love it, as its very professional and powerful. I used to edit Standard with no problem, then export the full unconverted file (wmv) and run it though Windows Movie Maker to compress it (haha yeah I know its crazy.) Now that I got a camera capable of shooting HDV I want to use it. Im just wondering the following:
1.What format should I export with in Adobe Media Encoder? (Original Raw footage files from Camera are MOV formatted)
2.What should I set the Bitrate to?
3.How do I export to flash without it being to large of a file (Under 200mb's for a 5 minute video) and have it not choppy or pixelated?
4.How do I speed up exporting, how many passes should I do?
5.What overall is the best setup for youtube?
I also noticed a small glitch, and its when I export normally (full size, no compression) and run it though a compressor it cuts out all of the titles, and just flashes them for a milisecond. Its really odd. It only happens when I export in a certain format in which I cannot quite remember. Anyways.. thanks in advance for helping me. Its very appreciated.

perform a search using the term export for web and it should throw up some ideas.
here's one for starters:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2309121&#2309121
If you're using flip4mac to convert to wmv, the trial stops at 30 seconds - you need at least wmvstudio to export to wmv:

Help with export format - can I meet ad requirements?

Help!
I need to create a color ad for magazine. Starting with a file in either PDF or EPS. Need to tweek existing file by changing some of the text and adding a logo. Final product is for magazine ad with media requirements:
Preferred High Resolution PDF
Embedded fonts - no true type fonts, only Type 1 or open Type fonts
300 DPI
supporting images must be CMYK, not RGB
I also have PS CS3. I have experienced output issues with printers in past, especially using the PDF export format from Pages (problems with fonts and layers).
From reading other posts my plan was to start in Pages, insert PDF file, overlay text and logo, print to Postscript, then open in PSCS3 where I would "save as PDF." Only concern is uncertain resolution of original PDF which is a small file (about 100k for quarter page color ad).
Other thought was to start with EPS in PS, save as PDF or TiFF, open in Pages to ad text/logo, then back to PS. Trying to avoid PS for main editing, just more versed in PAGES.
Will this work?
Any comments appreciated!!

Good evening from Normandy
In response to Barbara's point:
It is serious. At an early stage in my magazine project I lost a client because the background colour in his ad had changed after CMYK separation, and when I noticed it was too late. The client is with us now and very happy with the quality of his ad.
Pages colour palette allows adjusting CMYK separation WITHIN Pages (note: it is also available in other Mac applications, even in SimpleText). Click on the rainbow circle in the tool bar to open it. Click on the second icon with colour sliders, in the drop down menu click on CMYK sliders. They show percentage content of the four colours used in professional printing - Cyan(blue), Magenta (purple), Yellow and Black.
With Pages you work in what-i-see-what-i-get mode (WYSIWYG) which is wonderfully intuitive and the results in print are satisfactory more often than not. As a general rule of thumb, however, I would recommend avoiding sharp, vibrant colours. What looks exciting on screen comes out dull on paper. Mind physiology here: screen colours are generated to go staight into your eyes, but the colours on paper are a reflected and refracted sun- or electric light.
It also makes sense to avoid colours that are too feeble. I used light blue colour wash for background with Cyan reading of 8 percent and it completely disappeared in print. After consulting with my printers I had to change the reading to 15 percent.
Another printers tool is colour-code or colour-guide tablets. They are like a stack of cards with changing colour sequences with exact CMYK percentage reading for each shade of colour. They can be purchased at specialised shops and web-sites, but are costly. Weigh your needs against costs. In my work I have to pay more attention to general lay-out rather than to colours, so I decided against investing in colour tablets.
Another work-around here is to use colour combinations from Apple's own templates that come with iWork suite. Copy colours that work nicely together from templates to your colour palette (I wish there was a feature allowing to give custom names to composite colours) and they will be available for use in your projects.
Re ColourSync utility mentioned here by Dragon. I agree, it is a powerful tool, but Barbara's point is especially relevant here: you have to know what you are doing. I invested some time in creating new workflows with ColourSync. The improvement in quality was dramatic, but while some problems were solved, others appeared. A short article I wrote re using Colour Sync is here:
i-work-in-pages.blogspot.com/2006/10/preparing-colour-separated-pdfs-using.html
So after a while I dropped ColourSync method and started using Enfocus PitStop which allows adjusting PDFs right at the CMYK conversion stage.
Another work-around which makes life even easier is to ask your computer service people to prepare Distiller settings exactly to your requirements as a separate folder which you can install as default in your Distiller settings. That way you just drag-n-drop your files onto the Distiller icon in the Dock and get perfect press quality PDFs in no time.
It is worth remembering that we are mostly end-users, not developers or technicians. Remembering this saves a lot of heart-ache. I call it the Renaissance Man dilemma - if you spend to much time chasing too many things your main goal is not achieved. Leonardo da Vinci was famous for not finishing his projects, because he always got distracted by exciting technical solutions that he stumbled upon while working...
This is more in response to Angiomans thread than to Barbara's comment now, but I assume he followed Dragon's invitation to this thread.
Cheers everybody - it is really exciting to share things with people who have similar experiences.
Alex,

Need Help with Export

I have a 57 min project( 1920x1080 i ) that I have exported as 1920 x 1080 P QT movie. It's about 6 GB. I will be showing this on a projector. I went to the venue to test things out, but due to some difference in cables plus Mac file vs windows system, was not able to do a test. From what I saw on start up of the projector the resolution is something like 800x 600 .
If I were to re-export this project or perhaps convert it using QT Pro........would there be any benefit to using a different resolution say like 1240 x 720 ?
I would have a smaller file size for sure but might the projector handle a lower resolution better ? I am going to be testing my movie again tomorrow afternoon and would like to have the best image I can squeeze out of the equipment.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Thanks for the quick response Tom. I can't play it from my MBP because my machune's output doesn't connect to the projector. They don't have HDMI wired to the projector from the podium, but I can use my wifes older MBP to connect. I'll try setting the resoultion as you suggested. I'll also take a thumb drive with the movie to try on their windows XP machine and see what I can do with that. Go back to a windows machine seems very foreign to me now.

Help with export/import in premiere pro

Hi Everyone
I have a question about import and export in Premiere Pro CS5.
I have some 1920*1080 .mov-files shot with canon eos 500d.
What is the best import setting for premiere pro cs5?
What is the best export setting from premiere pro (to adobe encore) to dvd?
The film is going to be projected on to a big screen. How do I get the best quality for this?
I would be very very thankful for your help!
Tami

check your paused and/or playback resolution settings...
I've found TIFF to be the cleanest output from PPT for inclusion in video, and I've also found that the scale to frame size command usually works pretty well within Premiere. However, Photoshop's scaler uses much better algorithms and will give you a much better result. You can do a batch process on all your files and automatically create smaller versions of them if you'd like. Alternatively, you can open PPT and customize the size of your PPT slide, which should scale everything to fit your new size. Then you'll have native 720x480 TIFFs on export from PPT.

I need help with export settings

Hi everyone,
I need help outputting an HD file for presenting a video to a client. I have tried exporting to HD .mov (H.264 codec) and PE keeps crashing (error compiling movie). From what I’ve read here, it’s due to the gargantuan file QT creates and HD space (even though I think I have enough HD available).
So, I need a recommendation from you on what kind of file to output which will allow me to present the movie to the client in HD. This file is solely for the presentation, I have already published for web (FLV) and YouTube (direct share from PE) and they both worked fine.
Here are my project specs:
Timeline:           4:26
Format:               1920 X 1080 HD
Timebase:          29.97 frames per second
OS:                        Windows XP SP3
Processor:          Intel Core 2 Duo @ 2.66GHz
RAM:                    4GB
Project Drive:   250GB disk with 152GB free space internal dedicated project drive (separate from OS)
Thanks in advance for your help,
Jose

Hi Steve, Neale,
I wanted to follow-up on this post. I came into the office today to run a few tests so I can make sure that I have the correct settings on my camera and PE project for the next time around. Here are few observations I was wondering if you can comment on:
My Sony camera cannot shoot HDV. The only format it supports is AVCHD, so I'm stuck converting.
I tried to convert the footage I have to HDV with the software I have (AVS Video Converter and Koyote Soft HD Converter) and neither of the two have an "HDV" conversion setting. I see AVI, MPEG, MOV and many different settings in each (AVI: Hd Video 1080p: H.264AVC, 29.97fps, 4200kbps, Audio MP3, 256 kbps or MPEG: HD Video 1080p - MPEG2, 15000 kbps, 1920X1080, 29.97fps, etc). What should I be looking for?
I searched for "best file format" in the forum and found various postings from both of you referring to converting to DV-AVI within PE; especially if you have AVCHD footage (which I have). So, I followed directions and converted a file for testing. Then, I created a new project using HDV 1080i 30 settings and imported the converted file. I still get a red line on the timeline. Any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong?
I also converted the MOV files (shot in HDV 60i with the pro camera) to DV-AVI. I also get a red line on the timeline...
The DV-AVI converted footage (both cases) doesn't appear to be HD. It looks jagged on the preview window. Is it HD?
The DV-AVI converted footage is almost double the file size as the MTS (AVCHAD) file (138mb vs. 60mb). Isn't that going to make PE run slower?
Thanks in advance for your help. I just wanna make sure I do my homework now so I set everything up correctly on the next project.
Jose

Need Help With Exporting EPS Files That Will Be Opened In Another Program

I am trying to export some files from Illustrator in EPS format, to be used in another program called "Blufftitler". Their documentation is pretty sparse and doesn't go into much detail. It only mentions the following:
"Limited support
BluffTitler has limited EPS support. It only imports filled shapes built out of lines and curves from uncompressed, unoptimized EPS files."
No matter what settings I try in Illustrator when exporting the EPS file, it won't open in Blufftitler, and keeps throwing me errors. I tried Choosing "Illustrator 3" as the format, and turning off the preview option. I also tried "expanding" the shape itself several times too. Is there some other way in Illustrator to just export a bare-bones EPS files without any extras or other stuff that might cause problems with other programs?
The funny thing is, when I create EPS files with another program, such as Vector Magic, they work fine in Blufftitler - it just seems to have a problem with EPS files created in Illustrator specifically.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!

The main problem is with BluffTitler is it doesn't have a very good eps handler as it can really only import eps files that are about 10k each and are not overly complex. If you look at all the sample .eps files that come with it, each one is about 1 or 2k each. A simple circle in Illustrator, even when saved as v3 without a preview, is around 258k. The reason for the larger file sizes is due to the extra things being saved in the file that aren't even on the page, such as brush presets and graphic styles. The sample .eps files that come with BluffTitler don't have these presets so the files are already smaller.
Something you may want to try is to open up one of the sample eps files and use that file for your vector work but save the file with a new name. I found that by doing this I could get the files down to a much smaller size. You may also want to setup any vectors in Illustrator first, save them, and then open the files in InkScape, http://www.inkscape.org. From what I've read, InkScape can get you fairly small file sizes so it's something you should check out.

Help with exporting Keynote to iMovie

Hello, I am working on a project in both Keynote and iMovie in which I am making some slides in Keynote, exporting them as Quicktime, and then importing them into iMovie. The slides primarily are composed of scanned pages from a book and thus have lots of small type. In Keynote, the text comes out very sharp and I can read it all perfectly. When I import the Quicktime movie into iMovie, however, the text looks very blurred and is almost unreadable. It looks like a JPEG which has been compressed way too much. However, I believe I have all of the compression settings set as high quality as possible. All of the other Keynote slides export and import just fine, only the text is giving me problems. Could someone please show me how I can export the Keynote slide so that the text shows up in iMovie just as clear as it looks in Keynote?
Thank you very much,
Daniel Baker
