How to compress like apple

On the apple web site you can veiw H.264 HD video of the new MAC commercials, how do they compress there HD to such small formats but maintain such go quality. I am trying to do this for my website.

Paul,
The one thing to keep in mine also is that the more information in your frame means the higher your file size will be. Just as Drew13 stated, there is very little in those commercials. I would say more that 50% of the total screen image is white, meaning nothing there to compress. Hence a smaller file size.
If they had used Time-Square NYC as a backdrop, then there would be a twice as much information to compress. Now if that was a panning shot of Time-Square, even more information to compress because the information is constantly changing.
That being said. Yes you can set the file size to compress to 3.5MB, but if you have a longer commercial or more information on screen, then your computer will preform more compression to meet that file size.
It's the old 'Quick' 'Good' and 'Cheap' scenario. If you want it Quick and Cheap, its not going to be very good. If you want it Good and Cheap, forget about having it Quick... you get the picture.
Information / Compression / Size with Compression being your Quality Variable.
I hope this answers your question about getting the file size down to 3.5MB.

  • How do I tell Apple to fix their software like apps that play sound even though the sound is turned off and not being able to disable features you hate like game center

    Apple is suppose to be the pinnacle of usability and, yet, I want to throw my new IPhone 4s as far as I can and watch is smash into a million pieces on concrete. Seriously, I've already got three things that irritate the **** out of me. First, there are Apple apps that insist on playing sound even though the sound is turned off. If I flick a switch to turn the sound off, I want the sound off!!!! Second, if I do not want a totally unnecessary feature like Game Center, I should be able to disable it. I completed most of the Angry Bird levels with 2 or 3 stars and now I have to start over from square one. Maybe, this happened when I upgraded to the 4s but it sure seemed to happen when I joined Game Center. Tomorrow, I am going to reset my 4s to factory defaults to try to get rid of my Game Center account. I don't want Game Center! I do need Game Center! I hate Game Center! Finally, I had an alarm go off to wake me up and there was a Snooze button but no button to turn the alarm off. I flicked the slider to access the main screen expecting to see something to turn the alarm off but there was nothing. The alarm just kept alarming. I had to warm boot my IPhone to shut the alarm off! Really, Apple!!!!

    The sound is turned off. Only, some Apple apps like YouTube and Siri make sound when the sound is turned off. It is very embarrassing when this happens at work. My question was how do I tell Apple to fix this?
    Turning off game center does not work. The games just prompt me to sign in when they are started.I have tried everything I can find online to stop this behavior. It is annoying and should not happen. My question was how do I tell Apple to fix this?
    The alarm went off. There was a green thing that looked like a button but pressing it did nothing. There was a red button that said snooze. I did not want to snooze. I wanted to turn the alarm off. I slid the bar to unlock the phone and there were no running apps with a button to press. The alarm just keep running. I have not had this problem since it first occurred. The alarm now shuts off when I just unlock the phone. It may have happened because I had another alarm app running. The two may have interfered with each other. I would like to tell Apple about it.
    It also annoys me that the button that closes apps leaves the phone app running. If I press on a number at 6:00 AM to get information about who called me, the phone automatically dials the person back and my natural reaction is to press on the button to close the phone app but the phone keeps dialing this person at 6:00 AM. It is a bad design. I would like to tell Apple about it.
    Finally, I looked all over Apple's site to try to find someplace I could send them a polite message to let them know that I was not happy with these "features" but could not find anything. It is extremely frustrating to have issues with a product and not being able to tell the manufacturer about it. So, you grow up!.
    When trying to fix the Game Center issue, I saw a link someone posted to report issues with the IPad to Apple. The answer I am looking for is where is the link to report issues with the IPhone.

  • How can you screen your iPad on a keynote presentation? Just like Apple did in last years WWDC when they demo iOS 5 how do they do that

    How can you screen your iPad on a Keynote presentation just like Apple?
    Like when they had last years WWDC when they demoed iOS 5 on the iPod Touch 4G
    Can you do that with an iPad 2?

    AL113-
    Mirroring refers to normal operation of the iPad, where you can see the Home screen on your external display, as well as when setting up a slide show, et cetera.  You may not need to mirror the iPad's display for presentations (but the iPad 2 does mirror).  At least for slide shows and videos, the iPad 2's screen does not show the presentation when an AV cable is connected, it only appears on the external screen.
    The alternative I mentioned about using the Apple TV box with AirPlay is probably easier to do, except you need the Apple TV box to interface to your external display.  One problem with an AV adapter, is that the weight of its cable tends to pull the connector out of the iPad as you are holding it.

  • FCE HD(Preferably 3.5), how do you like, and is it worth buying?

    Hi Everyone. I am seriously thinking about buying a Macbook and Final Cut Express 3.5, but I need some insider's opinions before I seal the deal. How do you like FCE? Do you feel like your getting as much Bang for your Buck as possible? Or is it simply just a reasonably priced software package? How do you like the selection of transitions, filters, and LiveType Options? Do you feel that there are enough choices of transitions, filters, LT Options? Are there enough custimizable options to give your project a personal touch? Overall, how do you like FCE as a whole? Also, please feel free to elaborate or further explain yourself in any way, shape, or form. I would especially appreciate it if someone would give there personal opinion of the selection of Transitions, Filters, and LiveType options(as you can see the amount of transitions, filters, etc. are a major concern to me, as I feel that I can edit alot better with a large range of choices).
    Please Reply, and every word you type will be carefully read over and consider by me. Once again, your Support is **GREATLY** Appreciated. Thank you so much!

    Final Cut Express HD 3.5(Universal)   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    I've used the gamut - iMovie HD, FCE 3.5, and now FCP 5.2.
    I originally just used iMovie HD. Say what you want about it, for quick edits and even professional looking basic videos (even in HD), it does a pretty good job. It's an amazingly powerful little editor for the price.
    But there isn't too much tweaking you can do to the built in effects, and there's nothing like LiveType with it... so I then moved to FCE 3.5.
    FCE 3.5 is almost identical to FCP 5 - the difference are small but to some, substantial. Paraphrased from GeniusDV.com: "FCE only supports the HDV format. HDV is a compressed format which uses mpg2 for its video compression scheme. HDV is starting with a 25Mbit signal with 4:2:0 color space. Final Cut Pro on the other hand can be configured to support ALL major formats of HD, including DVCPro HD. DVCPro HD is 100Mbit at 4:2:2. Unless you are a broadcast technician, don't let the numbers scare you. HDV still looks VERY good."
    They're right about HDV, and I shoot in it exclusively. A critical feature to add is that FCE does not do "native HDV"; all the HDV footage must be recompressed into the Apple Intermediate Codec for editing. (iMovie HD does this too). This results in one more compress-recompress cycle and also causes footage to take up at least 3X the storage on your hard drive. It works though. Native HDV support in FCP was one of the main reasons I switched.
    "FCE has many of the standard effects found in Final Cut Pro, with the following exceptions. There is no three-way color corrector, which means the ability to control the blacks, whites and greys of an image independently.... FCE does not support time-remapping. You may also have heard the term time-warp. This basically refers to the ability to speed up and slow down video over a fixed amount of time. And finally, no After Effects plug-in architecture is supported for FCE."
    "Other feature differences
    No customizable mapping of the keyboard, No support for third party capture cards. No ability to batch record No 24P support."
    FCE does come with Soundtrack (a less-featured version of Soundtrack Pro), 4GB of nice Apple Loops, 4GB of LiveType fonts and effects, and a training DVD. LiveType is, to me, like "Motion Lite" and some cool title work can be done with it.
    The addition of Soundtrack Pro isn't that significant over Garageband's integration with iMovie HD, but the addition of the loops and LiveType is. You can create significantly nicer titles in LiveType that go beyond Apple's iMovie templates. If you want to stick with the templates though (which afford a small amount of customization options), iMovie still works ok for basic edits.
    Final Cut Studio also offers very good integration with Motion, Shake, DVD Studio Pro, and Soundtrack Pro that are not present at all/difficult to integrate in FCE. And of course, you get all those programs as well (except shake) with tens of GB of effects and templates, as well as pounds of books and training materials.
    That's what prompted me to upgrade to FCS, once it went Universal so I can use it fast on my Mac Pro and MacBook Pro.
    Bottom line - if it wasn't for my need of native HDV and the want to play with Motion, I would have stayed with FCE. It's a very, very full-featured editor for the price.
    And iMovie HD? I still use it today to produce quick edits when I have very limited time or need to tweak.
    It's all about what you need to do.

  • How do I Help Apple Care Stop Warring with Each Other and Fix the Problem with My iPhone that They Acknowledge Creating?

    How Do I Help Apple US & Apple Europe Stop Warring With Each Other And Fix The Problem They Created?
    PROBLEM
    Apple will not replace, as promised, the iPhone 5 (A1429 GSM model) that they gave me in London, UK, with an iPhone 5 (A1429 CDMA model).
    BACKGROUND
    My iPhone 5 (A1429 CDMA model) was purchased this year in September on an existing Verizon Wireless (VZW) line using an upgrade. The purchase took place in California and the product was picked up using Apple Personal Pickup through the Cerritos Apple Retail Store. I will refer to this phone at my "original" phone.
    The original phone was taken into the Apple Store Regent Street in London, England, UK on November 15, 2012. The reason for this visit was that my original phone's camera would not focus.
    The Apple Store Regent Street verified there was a hardware problem but was unable to replace the part.
    The Apple Store Regent Street had me call the US AppleCare. At first they denied support, but then a supervisor, name can be provided upon request, approved the replacement of my original phone with an iPhone 5 (A1429 GSM model) as a temporary solution until I got back in the US. And approved that the GSM model would be replaced with a CDMA model when I came back to the US. I will refer to the GSM model as the "replacement". They gave me the case number --------.
    The Apple Store Regent Street gave me the replacement and took the original. The first replacement did not work for reasons I do not understand. They switched out the replacement several times until they got one that worked on the T-Mobile nano SIM card that I had purchased in England, UK. Please refer to the repair IDs below to track the progression of phones given to me at the Apple Store Regent Street:
    Repair ID ----------- (Nov 15)
    Repair ID ----------- (Nov 16)
    Repair ID ----------- (Nov 16)
    The following case number was either created in the UK or France between November 15 to November 24. Case number -----------
    On November 19, 2012, I went to France and purchased an Orange nano SIM card. The phone would not activate like the first two repair IDs above.
    On November 24, 2012, I went to the Apple Store Les Quatre Temps. The Genius told me that my CDMA phone should not have been replaced with a GSM model in the UK and that this was clearly Apple's fault. They had me call the AppleCare UK.
    My issue was escalated to a tier 2 UK AppleCare agent. His contact information can be provided upon request. He gave me the case number -----------.
    The UK tier 2 agent became upset when he heard that I was calling from France and that the France Apple Store or France AppleCare were not helping me. He told me that my CDMA phone should not have been replaced with a GSM model in the UK and that this was clearly Apple's fault.
    The UK tier 2 agent said he was working with engineers to resolve my problem and would call me back the next day on November 25, 2012.
    While at the Apple Store Les Quatre Temps, a Genius switched the phone given to from repair ID ----------- with a new one that worked with the French nano SIM card.
    Also, while at the Apple Store Les Quatre Temps, I initiated a call with AppleCare US to get assistance because it seems that AppleCare UK was more upset that France was not addressing the issue rather than helping me. I have email correspondance with the AppleCare US representative.
    A Genius at the Apple Store Les Quatre Temps switched the replacement with a new GSM model that worked on the French SIM card but would not work if restored, received a software update, or had the SIM card changed. This is the same temporary solution I received from the Apple Store Regent Street in the UK.
    By this point, I had spent between 12-14 hours in Apple Store or on the phone with an AppleCare representative.
    Upon arriving in the US, I went to my local Apple Store Brea Mall to have the replacement switched with a CDMA model. They could not support me. He told me that my CDMA phone should not have been replaced with a GSM model in the UK and that this was clearly Apple's fault. My instructions were to call AppleCare US again.
    My call with AppleCare US was escalated to a Senior Advisor, name can be provided upon request, and they gave me the case number -----------. After being on the phone with him for over an hour, his instructions were to call the Apple Store Regent Street and tell them to review my latest notes. They were to process a refund for a full retail priced iPhone 5 64BG black onto my credit card so that I could use that money to buy a new iPhone 5 64GB black at the Apple Store Brea Mall to reoslve the problem.
    The Apple Store Regent Street did not process my refund. He, name can be provided upon request, told me that the AppleCare US did not do a good job reviewing my case, that they were incapable of getting to the bottom of it like they were, and instructed me to call AppleCare US and tell them to review this case number and this repair id. I asked if he read the notes from the AppleCare US Senior Advisor and he would not confirm nor deny. When I offered to give him the case number he accepted but it seemed like would do no good. Our call was disconnected. When I tried calling back the stores automated system was turned on and I could not get back through.
    Now I have the full retail price of an iPhone 5 64GB black CDMA on my credit card and Apple will not process the refund as they said they would.
    I've, at this point, spent between 14-16 hours at Apple Stores or on the phone with AppleCare representatives, and still do not have the problem resolved.
    SOLUTION
    AppleCare US and AppleCare Europe need to resolve their internal family issues without further impacting their customers.
    Apple is to process a refund to my credit card for the cost of a full retail priced iPhone 5 64GB black.
    DESIRED OUTCOMES
    I have an iPhone 5 (A1429 CDMA model) that works in the US on VZW as it did before I received the replacement phone in the UK.
    Apple covers the cost of the solution because I did not create the problem.
    Apple resolves their internal issue without costing me more time, energy, or money.
    This becomes a case study for AppleCare so that future customers are not impacted like I have been by their support system.
    Does anyone have recommendations for me?
    Thank you!
    <Edited by Host>

    Thanks, but I've been on the phone with AppleCare US (where I am and live) and AppleCare UK. They continue bouncing me back and forth without helping resolve the problem.
    Perhaps someones knows how to further escalate the issue at Apple?

  • Tap to click not working properly in Mountain Lion. How do I get apple to fix this major issue with mountain lion?

    The tap to click does not work with mountain lion as it did before the mountain lion install. I purchased a brand new imac in August of 2011 and got a wireless keyboard and selected the wireless trackpad instead of a mouse.  The trackpad worked wonderful pre upgrade with tap to click. Now after the install of the newest beast, I have to actually press the trackpad rather than a slight tap. I have carpel tunnel and this is causing great stress upon my hand. How do I get apple to fix this major issue with mountain lion?

    Perhaps, I was not clear enough.
    I have an imac purchased in Aug. 2011 which came with Lion 10.6 (two uprades before mountain lion)
    Recently, I just purchased a macbook pro retina with Mountain Lion
    On my imac, my settings allowed me to "tap to click" everything EXCEPT the initial log in at the star up of my imac, again running Lion 10.6
    On my macbook pro retina which has Mountain Lion, I set up the "tap to click" option, but notice that a "hard" click was neccessary when trying to click things. I thought this was a macbook thing (my first one) so I went and upgraded my imac to Mountain LIon, BIG MISTAKE! Now both my imac AND my macbook only have limited "tap to click" options. Before mountain lion I could "tap" to highlight and select text, tap and drag, and many other thiings that Mountain Lion has disabled.
    I am truly surprised that no one has noticed this MAJOR issue.
    Is there a way to uninstall this update, similar to how on a PC you can go back to a restore point.
    On another note even the way PREVIEW has changed is less user friendly, there used to be icons on the bottom right corner of the screen, now I have to double tap and select the option I would like to switch between contacts and thumbnails. This is really annoying and is causing me time when reviewing files.
    Just in case anyone was wondering, I did go to system preferences -> trackpad -> select tap to click
    In fact almost all of the trackpad functions have been selected.

  • How can I get apple to replace my macbook air?

    I purchased a macbook air in mid 2012. It's 13-inch 1.8 GHz Intel Core i5.
    Anyways, since I've had this particular computer I've had to take it in on 3 occasions because it kept shutting off, or crashing anything I ran.
    They have replaced the logic board all 3 times, and I believe the cost each time is approximately $500 (covered by applecare).
    I'm really annoyed by the function of this particular device I've purchased. I really just want to get rid of this computer now. 
    My question is, how or when will apple decide to trash this computer instead of waste money by replacing the logic board every 5 months?
    I would like a new computer. I am fed up of having to take my computer into the store– which mind you is far from my house, only to leave it there for a week before I can pick it up.

    I'd suggest making an appointment with an Apple Genius, and discuss your options.
