How to export movie for web?

I am trying to upload a movie I made on iMovie to my website, but the .m4v does not work on anything but my mac. Is there some way I can convert the .m4v to an .mpeg?
TIA,
Dana

I am trying to upload a movie I made on iMovie to my website, but the .m4v does not work on anything but my mac. Is there some way I can convert the .m4v to an .mpeg?
There are many ways but it would help to know what flavor of .MPEG file you are targeting. Normally I would assume you are referring to an MPEG-2 video with MPEG-1, layer 2 (MP2) audio. The easiest to use application would probably be Visual Hub if you can find a copy. (Support dropped and possibly will return as an open source project called "FilmRedux.") iVCD, MPEG2 Works, and FFmpegX would be alternative dedicated converters. If you have iDVD or Toast, these burning application can also produce other flavors (MPEG2/AIFF or MPEG2/AC3 multiplexed files) which can be then be modified by MPEG Streamclip to an MPEG2/MP2 file secondarily.
NOTE: The same four dedicated applications mentioned, as well as, Toast can also be used to create multiplexed MPEG-1 (.MPG) files if that was really what you really wanted.

  • Can Someone please tell me how to save movie for email & web?

    Can Someone please tell me how to save movie for email & web? I have created a few small videos, (last one was only 3 minutes), and I have tried to save them many different ways, but when I try to send them via email, it takes forever to send and for others to open.
    People send me video links all the time, and they never take that long. What am I doing wrong?
    Thanks for your help.

    People send me video links all the time, and they never take that long...
    Karl is (aside many other things) expert on how-tos and codecs, but one more thing...:
    video link:
    you have two options for sharing video with the world: you can send the whole file to someone - as an xx MB attachement to a mail...; or, you load up the video to some website (.mac, youtube, whatever...) and send just the link x kB to that site...
    asymmetric:
    normal "internet accounts" are asymmetrically (A-DSL)... means: you have FAST downloads, but SLOW uploads.... (my socalled 2k-DSL connections offers downloads 20x faster then my uploads, just to give you an impression...)
    so, uploading my videos to my website needs easy >30min for a letssay highly compressed 2min project.... the link to it is just >1kB; the download/watching of the movie is almost instant on/realtime....
    now, back to Karl, concerning choosing the right codec/compressor... Karl?
    i DO love these phrases in news-shows...

  • How to export the Apex web page to PDF with click of a button?

    How to export the Apex web page to PDF with click of a button?
    Am looking at exporting the Form view on APEX to be exported to PDF.

    In order to get a PDF, you need to generate a Report....in PDF format.
    If you are using the APEX Listener, you can initiate the download of the PDF by calling APEX_UTILS.download_print_document()  (I normally place this in a Process)
    BUT -- You have to create the Report (under Shared Components) and a Template (also under Shared Components).
    The white paper in my first post gives you the HOWTO "[Create] Custom PDF Reports with Oracle Application Express and the APEX Listener".
    Start by creating a Report (in Shared Components, bottom right) that uses a simple SQL statement like:
    Select * from emp where empno = :P15_EMPNO
    You may need to hard code the parameter before you hit "Download XML" button.
    The XML that you get from clicking "Download XML" satisfies the "Step 1 - Create an XML Data Source" found on Page 11 of the document.
    The rest of the instructions is in that whitepaper.

  • Need latest protocol for preparing movie for web in X

    Hello. The basic problem is slow start on You Tube. My general question concerns preparing a movie for the web; not restricted to You Tube.
    In FCP 7,  it was export using QT conversion, to Quick Time Movie using broadband Med or most recent settings, choose H264, choose custom size 16:9 HD 1280 x 720p, prepare head for internet streaming by choosing quick start ,
    adjust settings, and save. Then, Open .mov (usually 1 G for 3 minutes) in QT, choose export to web, transcode, and send 50-100 Mb  M4V or sometimes MP4 to Host. No problem.
    When I open an .mov prepared in X, the QT Player no longer allows the same options as it did when processing 7 movies.  Am I missing something? I click export to web with the new system and it just starts in coding.
    I appreciate the automatic features of X, but am having problems with both stutter start and a few more upload problems that I see as temporary.
    Thx.  www.youtube.com/user/edwardshaw1
    Any suggestions most grateful for.

    Check your Applications > Utilities folder. That's where the OSX Installer moved Quicktime 7 (also known as Quicktime Player) when Quicktime X became the standard player. Your pro license should still be activated. If you don't find it there and you have a Snow Leopard (or earlier) installer disk, you can find QT7 in the Extras folder. Make sure you do NOT overwrite Quicktime X when you move or install QT7 (both are originally named "Quicktime Player" - but you can rename the older Quicktime Player to "Quicktime Player 7" before moving it into your Applications folder.)
    The problem with MPEG Streamclip and other "third party" conversion software (like ClipWrap and Smart Converter) is they use FFMPEG open source x.264 codecs. Apple's H.264 codec is superior (arguably, marginally better... but better.)
    YouTube will "respect" your upload if it's already done well (to their specifications.) Otherwise, their software will recompress it.
    In QT7Pro, you settings should be:
    Compression type: H.264
    Frame Rate 30 (or 29.97) fps  (29.97 is the "true" 30...) [Even if your project is 720/60p - YT wants 30]
    Keyframes: Automatic
    Frame Reordering : OFF!
    Data Rate: (I'll get back to this)
    Optimized for: Streaming (only allowed with Best Quality encoding setting)
    Quality: (if you specify a data rate, you only can use "High" -- and you *should* specify a data rate)
    Encoding: Best Quality (Multi-pass)
    Audio:
    Format: AAC
    Channels: Stereo (don't think it matters)
    Rate: 44.1KHz
    [show advanced settings]
    Render settings (doesn't matter - normal is fine)
    MPEG-4 AAC Encoder Settings:
    I use Variable bit rate ; Sound Quality at 128 - 160kbps (about 2/3's to Best on the slider)
    (you can use a constant bit rate - i think YT allows up to about 192kbps, but I don't "push it")
    If you fall within these parameters, YT is not likely to futz with your vid, you'll get what you put up.
    Now, for the Data Rates:
    For 1080/30p (29.97p) I've found that 4Mbits/sec is adequate for most video (most of mine are tutorials). If you have sections of your video that have something like trees blowing in the wind shot against a bright blue sky -- you will definitely need a much higher data rate (check your transitions too, they can be subject to some nasty blocking/artifacting when highly compressed). To figure out how much, take a 5 second clip* of the highest action and transcode it at - start at 12.5Mbits/sec (or 12,500 kbits/sec) - and see if you notice any "blocking" - if you do, crank up the data rate another 500-1000kbits/sec (or more if it's pretty bad). If you don't — try optimizing your compression by reducing the data rate until blocking appears. You shouldn't need to exceed 18Mbits/sec... Upload your 5 sec clip to youtube and see if it works out okay. If so, just delete it. Transcode your video to those specs and upload to youtube. Remember your settings - they'll serve you well.
    For 720 video, 3200kbits/sec is a good starting point.  480 - 1500 kbits/sec. and so on...
    Bandwidth (aka data rate) is **key** to good video. The more compressed your video is, the more YT likes it. The more YT likes your video, the more likely they'll leave it alone and just pass it straight through. (I have seen them pass through data rates up to 18Mbits/sec. Just follow their rules.)
    [*In Quicktime 7 Pro, you can set an in and out point anywhere in your video by typing 'i' for the in point and 'o' for the out. Copy (Command-C) the selection. Command N to create a new player and paste - and you have your 5 (or whatever) second clip.]

  • Export Compression for Web Use

    Hi All
    I've been through the forum and seen a lot of posts on the "art" of compressing files for use and transfer on the web while wanting to maintain quality.
    I understand that it requires some tweaking of the frame size, the frame rate, and the data rate to get the optimum file size versers quality.
    I've moved from iMove where export was simple(tho files were large) to FCE and I'm finding that the learning curve is very steep.
    I've recently seen a video on Vimeo http://vimeo.com/10022953 which is stunning quality and only 36.5 MB with a frame size of 1280 x 720. I'm wondering if anyone has an idea how he may have achieved this. The Codecs that he has used are AAC, H.264, MPEG-4 ODSM, MPEG-4 SDSM. I'm wondering if it may be necessary to use another compressing software to convert the exported full size QuickTime movie file to a quality file such as this.
    Any ideas???

    Hi All
    While waiting for comments to my question I contacted the producer to the video that I referred to above. When in doubt go to the source.
    His reply is…
    "I use the setting in Quicktime X, go to: File - Save As and in format select 1080p. Easy as pie"
    So I gave it a shot and I managed to get an awesome quality video at a greatly reduced file size, similar to what he had. I also discovered a powerful tool in Quicktime X : File > Save for web. This gives other great sizes and extra files and code for hosting on your own servers.
    If anyone has any other ideas I'd love to hear but this has fixed me for the moment

  • How to export FCP for broadcast station

    I recently picked up a gig editing for the zoo here in the city. Unfortunately, I have never filmed/edited anything for t.v. How should I export the movie for the cable networks? Here are a few questions I have (I'm a rookie, please be patient with me):
    1) Should I select make movie self-contained?
    2) Should I export as "using quicktime" or "using quicktime conversion"?
    3) How do I change the codec and frame rate if needed?
    4) How would I transfer the movie file onto DVD after I am done?
    Thanks, it is really apprecitated!

    1.You should export a self contained movie using current settings -same as your Timeline codec and make the deliverables from that, using Compressor. Only the broadcaster can tell you what they need. Ask each and everyone of them that you will be delivering to for their spec sheet.
    2. QuickTime Conversion will recompress the file, even if it is to the same codec as your Timeline.
    3.Compressor. See 1.
    4. You already have a copy of DVD Studio Pro. Learn to use it.

  • How to configure SSO for web dynpro ABAP (not web dynpro Java)

    Hi Experts,
        I am testing SSO in IDES for web dynpro ABAP (Not for web dynpro Java / not for portal). When I am entering url of web dynpro application in web browser like internet explorer, then it should ask for user id and password first time, after login whenever user would access that url, it must not ask for user ID and password (url would be access web browser in mobile). For this I select to configure single sign-on for web dynpro ABAP. I have done below works:
    1). I have created a web dynpro application having url: http://susws076.sap.swk:<port>/sap/bc/webdynpro/sap/zadb_hello_world2
    2). I run TCode SICF and access service node to "Zadb_hello_world2". Double click on it, hit change. pressed "logon data" tab, select "Alternative logon
         procedure"
       Then deleted all logon procedure other than "SSO Authentication" and saved.
    3). Go to "STRUST" and create certificate, choosed "Environment==> Logon Ticket" fill the required parameters and execute. It is OK (no red traffic
         signal).
    4). Execute TCode "RZ10" to change profile parameter, insert new parameter (indicated by red arrow)
    After all this settings I opened a browser enter above URL and hit enter but there is an error
    There is no login page. It directly showed this error page. No cookies is saving.
    Can anyone tell me what all the settings/configuration other than this I have to do. And is there any wrong setting done by me?
    How to set the for single sign-on?
    Thanks in Advance

  • How to run save for web and contact sheets at the same time

    Hi
    my question is simple and a means to save time-
    Lets suppose I have 3 camera images and I want to run either save for web applications on 2 cameras at the same time, how/can i do that to save time or lets say contact sheet action on 1 and save for web on the other to save time or photoshop files and this runs in the background?
    would really help save me time.

    Even if you could run the three process in the background at the same time I do not think the duration of the total execution time would be any shorter. You would still be executing the same number of processor instruction reading and writing the same number of files. If the whole processor was constrained by the processing power running them cuncurrenly may increase the processing time because of contention for the processor. If the processes are IO bound that will not change a overlaping the processes may cause more hard disk seaking because of contention of the hard disk arm.

  • Exporting files for web and print at the same time.

    been searching a while now and no joy with an answer.
    So I want to know 2 things.
    Is there an option on LR to export 2 different extensions at once?
    So a JPG at say 5mb and one at 500k?
    Also would I 'resize to' 1024x768 if I was going to use for web?
    Hope you can help.
    Thanks.

    It is possible to pick a desired file size that is too small for the image's pixel dimensions. Where that line is drawn will depend on the individual image.
    Normally if you are picking a max file size, you are also resizing the file to be smaller, like your 1024x768 example above. This size would easily be under 500 kb.

  • Indesign 2014 exporting pdf for web large fiel size

    I am exporting an Indesign 2014 file to pdf print for web. I have tried smallest file size, Acrobat 4 & 5 and also selected transparency flattener when exporting pdf. File comes out to 12MB either way. I have gone into Adobe pdf and optimized the pdf and comes out around 11MB. The Indesign file has some small photoshop images also layered vector AI file. I have flattened the AI file and placed that image in Indesign but file is still large. With the AI file I have exported it as a jpeg and placed that in Indesign and file comes out fine for web under 1 MB. Checking with the group if there is a way that Indesign can export the AI file without replacing it as a jpeg. 

    Checking with the group?
    The best and most logical way would be to export a PDF from the AI and place that one, so ID just needs to copy. ID is not an AI-to-PDF converter.
