How do I batch "Export For Web" from Quicktime, one at a time

I have 20 quicktime movies in folder A.
I would like to "Export for Web" for all 3 options (iPhone, iPhone (cellular), and Desktop) to folder B.
How do I create an automator script to complete this action one at a time, until they are finished converting?
Also, I do not want to delete the originals.
I have never used Automator, but I'm guessing it should be easy to execute a shut down command when it is done...
Thanks a lot!

iTunes does not handle the import of photos/videos from the iPhone's Camera Roll.
If this is not the computer you sync your iPhone with, you should have been provided a warning message that your iPhone is associated with an iTunes library on another computer and when trying to transfer any iTunes content from a different computer, a warning message is provided indicating that all iTunes content on the iPhone will be erased first.
When connecting an iPhone to iTunes on another computer, none of the options under the various tabs for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes are selected automatically. This means you had to select Sync Contacts under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes on your wife's computer.
Assuming you are syncing contacts with a supported address book app on your computer, connect your iPhone to Tunes on your computer and without syncing, under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences below the Advanced section, select Contacts for replace info on this iPhone followed by a sync.
For importing photos/videos from the Camera Roll which can be done with a computer that is not used for syncing the iPhone since syncing with iTunes is not involved.

How can I batch Save For Web and maintain a multilevel folder structure?

First... I am using an old version of Photoshop.... 6.0 to be exact. If your answer is to buy the newer versions, I respectfully say I know that's AN answer, but I'm looking for something that will work with my setup. The version we have works just fine for the very few things we need it for, and we use new versions of InDesign and Acrobat for all else.
So here's the challenge:
We have a weekly magazine featuring 1,200 plus photos of cars for sale, each saved in a folder named for the sales rep, week and day. I must maintain these folder structure throughout the process, as the files names are duplicated by cameras and across reps. So I cannot dump all batch converted pics into one single folder, yet I need to reduce the Quality setting which I find when completing a Save As in Photoshop.
So I want to batch convert all the photos in multiple folders, some 3 folders deep, all at once.... reduce to 8 inches across, change to 72dpi, and reduce the quality slider to 5, which creates a nice 60-90K file. BUT.... it wants to save all of them in a particular folder. I need to just overwrite the original file with the new smaller one.... or save the new small version into the same folder the big one is in, but have it work with the "include all sub-folders" option in batch.
A sample File system .... 4513 Photos - Color <day of week> (3 folders) - <disk number><rep>Color (20 folders) - actual photos.
After converting, we push up the final level of folder to our website and that organization allows us to use them there the way we need. The uploading to the site and batch functions are done 3 to 4 times per week.... on different days.
Is there a way to reduce the quality (compression) of the jpgs that does not require the creation of a new file in a particular folder, or is there a way to have the resulting file just drop back into the folders and subfolders during a batch function? I just can't figure this out!
As an alternative, what other programs might do this?

You should be able to just use the html output of the Export for Web function and, if the video's converted correctly, just swap the file names at the appropriate places. Have you tried renaming VisualHub's output to what the Export for Web html wants, then placing it in the proper location?
I'm not aware of a way to batch create the html files, but if I had to, I'd probably look at automator to see if I could figure out it's text manipulation options.

Quicktime Export For Web files inaccessible

I accidentally posted this in the QT for Windows section, but I'm a Mac guy.
This is totally bizarre. As of this afternoon, all of the QT files (generated with Export for Web from QT7.6) that I've posted over recent days and weeks, on multiple servers, played back by different computers at different locations, running QT 7.6.4 and 7.6.6, OSX 10.5.8 to 10.6.3, WILL NOT PLAY. How is this possible?
If I connect directly to the original .mov file (as opposed to the "alias" .mov file generated by Export for Web), then it will play. If I connect to the .m4v file, my browser wants to download it, and then play it.
What's going on here? Apparently I'm not the only one to have this problem. Is this due to some sort of DRM update put in place on account of the iPad introduction? iTunes and QT have been updated on at least one of the computers I've tried this with, and it didn't make a difference.
Hello??? Is anybody out there?

Here are several examples:

QT Pro Export for Web--poster doesn't work in Firefox or IE, only Safari

Hi QuickTime gurus (within Apple and in the 'real world
I had thought that when you Export for Web in QuickTime Player Pro, the 'poster' movie would display in all browsers, on Mac and Windows.
Unfortunately, the poster does NOT work in Firefox (neither Mac nor Windows) nor in IE. It only works in Safari.
See this example - http://www.wellesley.edu/~kenny/a.html
Am I doing something wrong, or is there something wrong with the JavaScript such that it doesn't work in all browsers, or....?
Thanks...k

Ok here try this:
http://setfreedenver.org/a/readme.html
And here's the zip file for the above.
http://setfreedenver.org/a.zip
You should have four files in the folder that makes everything for the video in the html:
video.m4v This is the actual video that plays.
video.mov This is the referance video that points to video.m4v
poster.jpg This is the poster frame.
html.html This is the html for the above video to play in.
Move one of the above to somewhere else and it will break the video playing in the html.
Sidebar:
I couldn't get this to work on my server. I had to go to my server control panel (somewhere out there in Texas) and make a MIME Type setting for the .m4v, so the video could play. Not all servers are setup to play different kinds of videos, documents or images. So, if you ever run across something that plays locally on your computer and not on your sever and your at your wits end.. Contact you server administrator and have them check the MINE setting on the server.

No Method of Batch Export for Clips with Alpha Channels?

Good morning,
As many a flustered editor has eventually discovered, in order for FCP to export sequences with alpha channels to a 32-bit format, the timeline has to be un-rendered at the time of export, or else the transparent parts will appear black in the outputted file. This sort-of makes sense if you know how FCP and render files work, but in a perfect world I think I'd have designed the export interface a bit differently. Now that I think about it, I'm actually working in an Animation (Millions of Colors +) sequence, so converting transparent areas to black makes no logical sense at all.
Anyway, I have several sequences that I would like to export as 32-bit TGA QuickTime files, preserving their transparency. If I Export Using Compressor, the process results in pre-rendering of the sequence, turning the transparent areas black. The same problem occurs if I export QuickTime reference movies from FCP and open them directly with Compressor.
Does anyone know of a way to avoid this silly phenomenon or am I stuck individually exporting each sequence from FCP, one...at.......a................time?
Thanks,
Zap

Thanks, Andy, "Batch Export" eventually did the trick!
I forgot about that tool because I've never actually had to use it before! After playing around with it for a while, I found that as long as the sequence settings for each sequence in the batch are set to a codec with an activated alpha channel, it works just fine.
Thanks again,
Zap

Batch Save For Web

How can I batch process Save For Web (from 300 dpi) in CS6?

Hi Rhondavous1,
Although not exactly what you are asking, I would recommend just using the Image Processor instead. It seems odd to me that you would want to use (save for web, for use on the web) and (300 dpi, usually for printing). You could create an action that goes through the appropriate save and resample commands and then use the Batch command but using the Image Processor is easier.
These might help:

Strokes on appearance is getting cut off when exporting for web & Devices

I'm a screen print artist using Adobe Illustrator CS5 in windows 7(blah!) to export images of our customers' artwork into a huge folder of images on a server. The images are then loaded into a program so that they can be viewed company-wide and by the customer.
Occasionally, when there is an appearance applied to text it seems to cut off the tops and/or bottoms of the outermost stroke.This seems to be only happening to text, and happens randomly and is very annoying. See the image attached.
it does this with both JPEG and PNG images, and whats more, changes when you adjust the image size. it either gets better or worse. I have to change the image size on every export so that they are all within our size requirements.
I have found that if you put the art into an envelope with all the settings at 0 and then export for web it prevents this from happening. However, that isn't very efficient as i need to be moving a ton of artwork a day, and I am not the only person who may be working on the Illustrator file.
Is there any setting either in illustrator or windows that may be causing this anomaly?

Try adding:
Effect >> Path >> Outline Object
So your type will still be editable
If that does not work you may want to:
Type: Create Outline
I only had this problem once before, on some snickerdoodle cookies package, and that was a script font. Might be related to the font you use.

Using Quicktime's "Export for Web" feature in iWeb?

Greetings,
Does anyone know if this is possible within iWeb, that is, to use movies created using Quicktime's "Export to Web" feature, which really seems to deliver superior movie quality?
Much appreciated,
DaveB

Thanks, good stuff, though I'm still having a small problem with this. I'm getting a gray line around the top and left of my movie and the right side of the player is getting cut off. When I try to make the width larger, it just moves the gray line further to the left.
Any ideas?
http://www.brianderr.com/brianderr/copythis3.html
*This is the script that I added to the html snippet in iWeb.* I changed the height to 505px because it was cutting off the bottom of the player at 496.

Using Color profiles and exporting for web browsers

I've been trying to figure out the answer to this question. As I'm sure you're aware Safari supports color profiles while other web browsers like Firefox do not. I would like to setup Aperture so that it displays and exports images for the widest audience possible. Unfortunately it embeds a color profile and my images on the web only display correctly in Safari. I've tried changing the proofing profiles and export settings to no avail. I didn't seem to have this problem in iPhoto, a picture there looked the same on screen as it did in Safari and Firefox but I can't achieve the same with Aperture...

Thanks for that information, unfortunately I'm not really any closer to solving the issue since I've already tried that. 1) by default, doesn't Aperture automatically embed the sRGB color profile? 2) if I set view>proofing mode to sRGB shouldn't what I see on screen match what a "dumb" application such as Firefox does when it ignores the embedded profile and display sRGB? I've tried going into the preferences>export settings and changed everything to sRGB IEC61966-2.1 but I see no difference in the final image between that and the default setting.
I guess my question is more specific to Aperture since I don't have this problem with other applications. For example, in photoshop if I do Export for Web it strips out any embedded profile and when I open that image in Firefox and Safari side-by-side they are exactly the same. But not so when I export an image from Aperture, when opened in Firefox it is desaturated and flat and of course in Safari it honors the embedded profile and looks fine.

Export for web

Hi,
I wonder if Lightroom overs a "export for web"?
I saw that the jpg's with 50% are still larger than the once exported via PS-for web.
I wonder if there is any trick or....
thanks
R

Web galleries created by LR use more storage than those created by PS because (at least some) LR galleries have three images plus a thumbnail for each image file compared to only one image plus a thumbnail in PS. The three images are of different size; this may be how LR galleries match the displayed image size to the user's browser window on the fly, a neat trick.
Another area where LR needs some extra storage is the catalog. In the smallish sample I examined, importing a jpg file into LR increased the total storage required for the image by about 40%.

Quicktime Export for web

i have exported a video for web using quicktime and when i try to upload it, i wont play... i have the video uploaded (the actual .mov) but i dont upload another file that is exported (the .m4v) because is like 200MB and the .mov is only 4KB. how can i make the player on the web, play the .mov file instead of the .m4v? hope u understand... Thanks in advance.

How to make it smaller in file size than your original 5.5 GB file?
You just did when you used the "Export for Web" feature and it was reduced to 200 MB's in file size.
200 MB's is still much too large for Web use as your viewers will not wait for your file to download.
Break up your 25 minute "masterpiece" into 5 minute "chunks" or compress it further by using:
Export > Movie to QuickTime Movie
Reduce the data rate, file dimensions and choose H.264 video codec and AAC audio. Forget "stereo" to reduce that part of the file. Reduce dimensions to reduce the video part of the file size. Cut the "frame rate" by 50% to make even a smaller file size. Your Web viewers will probably not notice.
Do some tests with a one minute sample file to learn what works best for your file. Compare the new exports (side by side) by using the "Play All Movies" feature of QuickTime Pro.
After a few sample exports you'll quickly see which data rate, frame rate and video compression codec works best for your file.

Export for web problem

hi, i've used the export for web option in quicktime pro but all i get when trying to play the movie is the quicktime logo with a question mark.. note that this is locally on my imac.. i've also tried uploading the folder on my server and play it from there to no extend.. i dont know what's going wrong.. the files exist and im even able to play them by scrolling down to the bottom of the ReadMe.html and clicking on one of the versions links directly..
any advice?

QuickTime Pro can play audio from MPEG-1 formats but can't extract it during export.
Solution?
Use MPEG Streamclip (free) to convert the MPEG-1 to other QuickTime formats.

Export for web Process terminated unexpectedly (11)

I have a licensed version of QuickTime Pro. And a licenced version of FCE.
I try to export a project 2 Quick time movie files put together one with a 83,291 Bit rate and the other with a 79,409 bit rate. Both use the Apple Intermediate Codec, Integer (Big Endian).
I export them to Quicktime Movie Then try to export for web. It starts then after awhile says this:

Similar issue here when exporting AVI files captured from Canon G9 to iPod.
QuickTime Pro quits with: Failed: process terminated unexpectedly (11).
Oddly, if I start from a power off and run QTime the error does not occur.
Of course powering off for every export is a real PAIN IN THE Axx but it is a work around on this end.
I have yet to try 3rd party software but this is error occurs with Quick Time Pro Ver 7.5 build 149.5.

Raw, colorsync profiles, and saving/exporting for web

I'm having a bit of trouble dealing with my raw files, or more particularly, being sure that I'm saving for webpages with the right profile.
I have several thousand images in Nikon's NEF and/or DNG format. I'd like to have iPhoto be my main catalog for them, but I don't want to copy over the several gigs worth, so I set the prefs to NOT copy the files over. The working jpg files it creates seem fine, but I can't tell whether they have the AdobeRGB profile associated with them, since that's what I shot them with. I'd then like to export them, or save them, to jpegs for the web at a somewhat reduced size, but they need to be in sRGB format for proper web presentation, which I'll do much of the work with iWeb. But there's no color profile choice in the export dialog, or the edit dialog, or anywhere else I can find. Am I missing something?
Basicallly, I'd like to have all my images in albums, and then have subalbums with the web versions (say about 900x600, about 70% quality, and sRGB color space). Is this possible with iPhoto? I've been mucking about with Adobe's Lightroom, which does have the color space choices in the export dialog, as well as a ton of other features. And previously I used Photoshop CS2 / Bridge to handle everything. But I thought iPhoto would make things easier.

Illustrator Batch - Save for Web PNG - File won't close

I am trying to convert several AI / EPS files to PNG file at 800 px.
I've tried using a batch incorporating either export as PNG and Save for Web - and neither on is working well.
The batch I built simply transforms the graphic to 800 px - Save for Web - then closes the file. Or exports the file as PNG at 800 px.
The problem is that the Save for Web Dialog box opens up each time or it simly doesn't export a file. I've tried checking off the various different surpress options in the batch dialog box - but nothing seems to work.
Your help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your answer but the images are not for web.
I need to enlarge them because they have a lot of detail and I need to send them to someone to be checked. The only place I can save as Gif is on the "Save for Web" dialog and Gifs have the smallest size/best quality ratio for the images I need.
I don't understand why when executing the batch process it stops at the "save window" waiting for me to click on "Save".
Nevertheless, thanks anyway
