How do I improve movie quality in iWeb

I have iWeb version 1.1.2
Is there a way for me to post better quality movies? Currently, I use the "Share:iWeb" function in iMovie version 6.0.3. This compresses my movie to 12fps, 320 X 240, with medium stereo sound.
I'm looking for quality similar to the Apple commercials or movie trailers that can be viewed on the Apple website. These movies are very clear and load quickly. How do I accomplish this? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Compression should be considered an art form and there are dozens of variables that can make a bad file look good (and vice versa).
The first goal of compression is to make the smallest file size as practical for the intended device. Web based movies would require some experimentation in your exports. Make at least three versions and compare them visually so you learn the best combination of audio and video codecs.
Another simple method is to learn a little bit of html and javascript coding. It's just "plain" text files that make up the rules for your Web display. In many cases your can just edit a few lines of code to have your 320X240 file play at 480X360 dimension.
Once you learn more about your QuickTime exports (and what works best for your files) you'll have a better understanding of all the issues.
iWeb version 2 includes a "QuickTime Inspector" that can do some neat tricks not found in iWeb 1. You may want to move up to iLife 08.
Upgrade to QuickTime Pro and create Web pages and files like these:

  • How can I improve picture quality...now grainy after IOS update!

    How can I improve picture quality...now grainy after IOS update!

    Hello, dreamer5th. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    Here are some troubleshooting steps that I would recommend going through when experiencing this issue.  They are labeled for the iPhone; however, the steps also apply to your iPad.  Also, make sure to test the camera in well lighted conditions as this can affect picture quality. 
    Camera isn't functioning or has undesired image quality
    If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
    If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
    Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
    Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
    Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
    Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
    Try to remain steady while focusing:
    Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center.
    Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
    Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. You can also tap to readjust focus while recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll.
    Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
    If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.

    If the issue persists see the last section labeled Issue not resolved.

  • How can i improve burning quality of dvd.looks fine in preview on idvd,but final burn quality is poor/

    how can i improve burning quality of dvd.looks fine in preview on idvd,but final burn quality is poor.

    Had same problem with iPhoto pictures and poor burn quality. Went back to original picture file and dragged images into idvd project from there. Set encoding at professional quality and burned at slowest speed. Got very good result with high quality slideshow when played on TV.
    Also tried Old Toad's Aug 30, 2011 advice to get a slideshow into iDVD with transitions, music, etc. from iPhoto.
    Again the quaility of the burned CD was very good. 

  • How can I improve the quality of my iPod Touch's camera ?

  • How can in improve the quality or bit rate of my iTunes library.

    I need to improve the quality of my original iTunes library.  How do I  increase the bit rate in iTunes for the library I have downloaded or can I improve what I have or will download.

    iTunes purchases are at 256k in AAC format. If you want better than that you'll need to purchase elsewhere. You can rerip your CDs at your preferred bitrate. If you have some older itunes purchases these could be in 128k protected AAC format. Every now and again the iTunes Store offers links to upgrade such tracks to the current format for a smaller fee than purchasing new copies.

  • How Do I Improve Audio Quality on Face Time

    Can anyone advise how I can improve the audio quality on Face Time?
    Video is acceptable, but audio sounds like a long distance phone call back in the bad old days, lots of background noise and voices barely audible.
    I don't think its my internet connection, currently ADSL2+, Line speed 4.9Mbps, download speed 617KB/s

    Welcome to Discussions, Little Eddy
    Depending on whether you mean sound you hear or how you sound to others, here are some ideas for your consideration:
    (1) Call from an area with less background noise.
    (2) Use an iPhone. Its sound quality is superior to iPod touch.
    (3) Try http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB770G/B It sounds better in my tests than internal mic.
    (4) For FaceTime on your iMac, sit closer to the Mac's mic. Also test speaking louder.
    (5) For FaceTime on your Mac, try a USB mic like http://store.apple.com/us/product/T6831LL/A
    (6) Both you and your connection should test with other users to determine who has the problem.
    (7) If sound you hear from other end, ask your contact to double check that his mic is not obstructed by a case, fingers, etc.

  • How do I improve the quality of photos on the web?

    I have noticed that a lot of websites I visit the image quality is shocking, its driving me mad and cant figure out how to improve it for good instead of pressing SHIFT + A or whatever it is... please help   

    Your web browser doesn't control image quality on web sites. It's controlled by how those images were optimized.
    The sites that look really good were probably put together by people who understand how to balance contrast processing, sharpening, and data compression settings to produce an image highly optimized for web display. Also, if you have a Retina screen, some websites are Retina-optimized and many are not.
    When images look bad on a web site, it's because the production people don't understand how to sharpen for the web, or maybe the site imposes mandatory over-compression to save space but that destroys image quality (e.g. Facebook).

  • How do I improve audio quality in iMovie?

    I have heard that you can strip out the audio track in a video clip, improve it in GarageBand and then put it back into iMovie.  Is this true?  I'd like to improve the audio quality on a series of video talks.

    Publish your movie first by going to Share and then select Media Browser.
    After it is "published" open up Garageband.
    Click "New Project"
    Select "Movie"
    Choose a name for your project.
    Select your movie from the browser on the right.
    Adjust your audio.
    When done, you can export your movie with new audio from Garageband

  • How do I improve Seo rankings with Iweb

    Hi and thanks for ANY advice you may have. I am a total novice and have used Iweb to create a great website which I upload with mobileme. I need to increase my SEO ranking and have no idea how to do this. I barely understand what a metatag is but my business depends on it! So please, can someone explain to me in small steps what to do!
    Thank you so much!

    While it's true that solid content, and quality backlinks play a large factor in a site's rankings, this doesn't mean that the basics of SEO should be ignored. It's true that Google does not rely on meta keywords for ranking sites, but that in no way implies that other search engines do not rely on them either.
    SEO is not just changing your title tags and meta tags. There's much more to it. All of the on-page optimizations, as star-fish said, we have control over. This means that if we have specific keywords in mind that we want to rank for, then we must place these keywords on our site. Not just in our content, but in our title tags, in our alt-images (if relevant) and in various places around our sites such as in our headers. There's also things about SEO that we need to know in order to not get our site banned by Google for doing unethical things.
    So whether or not a site is poorly designed with little or no relevant content, SEO is still something that you need to do for your site. You need to do this in order to achieve success or realize failure. If you do realize failure, then it will just be a lesson learned and you will know that changes need to be made.
    Roddy and Wyodor both have sites with high quality content. That has been their go-to for attracting site visitors. Which has been working very well for them. But this in itself is also SEO, as they have been mentioning. Some sites do take this approach, where they have established their sites and can rely on the content they create to attract visitors. Not every website will be in that same situation, so optimizing their websites is still something that should be done via the other various methods of SEO.
    So don't rely so much on meta keywords, as many people think you should, but make sure to incorporate as many SEO techniques on your site as you can, and of course, like Roddy and Wyodor said, make sure you have lots of quality content, and you will be sure to start getting traffic from search engines.

  • How can i improve the quality of photos in my newsletters?

    I create my newsletters in Apple Pages and inlcude high res photos.  When I save the file as pdf to email it to printer all the photo files are reduced and printnquakity is very poor.  Do I need acrobat X and if so how would it help?

    I think Pages has this option:
    Menu > File > Export… > PDF > Export Quality > Good/Better/Best > Next… >
    See if the "Best" quality setting meets your needs first.

  • How do I improve Repousse quality?

    I'm having difficulty using the repousse technique to create 3D text.  When I do it, it results in aweful jagged lettering.  Is there a setting to fix this?  I'm new to PhotoShop, I work primarily on Premiere Pro and After Effects.
    Thanks

    Aside from what Zeno said about the rendering quality settings, consider how you create the actual geometry. The size at which the text is created in relation to the document DPI strangely enough matters and affects the tesselation pattern produced, meaning how smooth the curves are divcided into triangles. Making text a bit bigger often helps, but going too big does not yield any extra benefits. Because of that, also the typeface selectiion matters. Sometimes you will even find that because the font is poorly designed you will get weird geometry. In that case basing the extrusion on a selection from the text or converting it to paths and cleaning those paths up a little might work better...

  • How do I improve sound quality when the sync property is set to "stream"

    I recently had a problem with timing text with sound (narrator). For example, when a user tapped a button a narrator would read text on the page and the words would highlight as the narrator read the words. The problem I ran into was that it performed well on the desk top but the timing was off on some mobile devices. So I set the sync to "stream" and it worked fine. But I ran into another problem; the sound quality went down, sounding muffled.
    How can I make the sound quality better when the sync property is set to "Stream"?

    you can control streaming sound quality in your publish settings which can override the sound quality settings that you can set by clicking the library sound's properties (right click/properties).

  • How can I improve the quality of a photo that appears blurry when used in iMovie but not in iPhoto?

    A 320 x 240, 35 KB Jpeg file looks crisp and in focus in iPhoto.  But as soon as I put it into iMovie and hit full screen, it's blurry and looks terrible.  A photo taken with my Nikon D7100, a 3872 x 2582, 2.5 MB Jpeg photo translates to the big screen just fine, with perfect clarity.  How can I use this former picture but increase its clarity when it's magnified in iMovie?

    Apologies for opening this up again:
    I rasterised and embedded the photos, liked what I saw and marked the question as answered, then I zoomed out and lo! The white jaggedy edges are back! This is despite the fact I rotated them to vertical before rasterising them.
    It appears that the pixels in the rasterised image are relative to the screen, not relative to the object... so when I rotate the photo it goes back to the original hi-res photo and re-rasterises it to fit the new orientation.
    Also doing this has not lowered the filesize at all... It does appear that when you rasterise an image in Illustrator, the new raster is only a veneer, the original (hi-res photo) is still lurking in the background.

  • How can I improve the quality of resized images ?

    Hello,
    I've written a program for batch resizing Jpegs which is working fairly funky however the quality of the resized images could be a bit better. Is there any way of doing a smoother resize of the images ? I'm currently using:
    AffineTransformOp op = new AffineTransformOp(AffineTransform.getScaleInstance(scaleX, scaleY), null);
    theImage = op.filter(theImage, null);
    Also I'm having trouble with some Jpegs taken with my friends digital camera. When I resize the vertical (480*640) ones the colours get all messed up while the horizontal (640*480) ones turn out fine. This only happens with Jpegs from his camera ! The colour scrambling looks very similar to what I was getting with all Jpegs when I used the below code to resize images:
    AffineTransform scaler = new AffineTransform();
    scaler.scale(scaleX, scaleY);
    AffineTransformOp scalerOp = new AffineTransformOp(scaler, AffineTransformOp.TYPE_BILINEAR);
    theImage = scalerOp.filter(theImage, null);
