How to...highest quality mpeg4 for youtube?

I have posted video's on youtube but they always have poor resolution. Any suggestions on how to improve these?
I've seen some other videos that look very good, but when I transfer my QT to MPEG4, the res changes significantly.
If you help me, I'll give you a dollar.

Since the file upload to YouTube becomes the source of their exported "Flash Video" you don't get much control over the end product.
If you've given them your "best" and they give you "**" then that is what you'll get from any export.
Try the Export to iPod settings (H.264 and AAC audio). They may butcher these too but it's the best you can send to them.

High Quality Export for Youtube

What are the best settings to get a very high quality export to upload to youtube? I am using final cut pro 6, with anamorphic dv footage - i'd like the dimensions to be 854x480 to be widescreen unless i can push it the full 1280. i haven't been happy with my uploads and usually see some pixellation, esp. in dark areas. the file sizes are usually like 400mb for 3 min. or so. i use compressor sometimes. i have something special that needs to look good and any advice would be greatly appreciated!!

DV is always 720x480. Your 854x480 file is adjusted to display those 720 pixels in wide screen on a computer. DV pixels are not square. Computers only display square pixels. In this case, that's OK.
...unless i can push it the full 1280...
This will lose quality, you are spreading the 720 pixels over 1280.
For YouTube, upload either the original DV and let YT compress it or make a H.264 file in Compressor with the same pixel dimensions. Newer versions of Compressor have YouTube presets.

Highest Quality Possible for PDF

Main Question: ignoring the size of the illustrator file, when you save the file as a PDF, intended for commercial print, what are the absolute best settings possible?
Before answering “Press Quality Preset,” (thank-you I know that already) maybe I should provide further detail. Where to begin...
This was the initial hitch that prompted further inquiry
I was trying to save an illustrator file (CS6 in case that makes a difference) as a PDF for print. Naturally I selected the Press quality preset. However, when I examined the settings for this preset, I found that my ‘Color Bitmap Images’ are using a JPEG compression. Sure the Image quality is set to the maximum, but it’s still a JPEG compression- thus prone to image degradation if it needs to be resaved (or at least that’s my understanding). It seems reasonable that the simple answer would be to just change the compression from JPEG to the only other option- ZIP, in order to maintain the quality. Duh!
However, I’m left wondering why JPEG is the automatic choice for the press preset if the ZIP compression provides better quality (possible answer- File Size). Furthermore, if the compression setting is not actually set for the highest quality possible (in an attempt to keep the file size down), then what other settings have been lowered in addition to this one.
My hope, as a result of posting in this forum, is to create a new PDF preset in illustrator that will optimize the quality of all possible aspects for any illustrator document. For ***** and giggles let’s just assume the document was originally created with an 1/8 inch bleed, using CMYK color mode, and a 300 ppi raster effect. Plus, this document has utilized every aspect of illustrator in some way (no this is not a real document- but rather a hypothetical document that is being used to identify the best possible settings available, no matter what the content is).
Will these settings be overkill for the majority of documents created in illustrator? Yes! But that’s not the point- the point is, I’m exhausted of having to sift through mountains of information, to figure out the reasonable and the friendly-file-size settings I “should” use for every document I create.
Now, I’m just looking for the big *I WIN* bomb that’ll cream all future documents, regardless of the content, transparency, effects, fonts, etcetera… etcetera (that’s a fact).
Maybe I could’ve skipped the story- but it just seems like people always end up having to go back to explain themselves anyway.
Input on... any of this would be greatly appreciated

PDF/x-1a -- No need to change anything other than maybe the marks - color bars, etc. But the overall comrpession and color settings are already appropriate for press.

How to make a video for YouTube

Does anyone know how to make a short video on a Macbook, to put on YouTube?

For direct recording into YouTube or other Flash based video web sites, use Flash Settings to select between available microphones and cameras.
If you uneed help, see Adobe's microphone suppport info at http://tinyurl.com/3e5cnl Adobe Help for selecting your webcam is here: http://tinyurl.com/4pswu9
Only external (Firewire) iSight (out of production for several years) has a built-in microphone. If your Mac has a built-in iSight, it also has a separate, built-in, USB Mic.
Either kind of microphone can be selected in your  > System Preferences > Sound > Input settings.
If you want to use an external iSight with a Mac that also has a USB mic for some purpose other than recording directly into YouTube or another Flash based web site, you can usually select which mic to use depending on your desired purpose.
Many apps that can recognize multiple microphones allow you to select which micriphone either via a menu choice or the app's speparate Preferences... settings. As one example, here is how to select a mic in QuickTimeX:
Each app works its own way, and some apps can only access the curreent System Preference setting.
A side note for other readers who are using Mac OS X Lion 10.7.x: Neither FaceTime Version 1.1 (258) from OS X 10.7.1 nor the current Version 1.1.1 (262) from OS X 10.7.2 can use external iSight's Firewire mic. The firewire camera works, but the Fireiwire mic is not available for selection in FaceTime > Video.

Highest quality video for streaming

I have a series of training videos shot in HD. They will be hosted on YouTube and and Viddler and embedded in blog posts.
My source video is very high quality. I would like some guidance concerning the optimum settings when I encode the videos. My final image size will by 640 x 426.
Thanks for any assistance!

It's not very big. I'd recommend editing and exporting at the native 1080, then using the HTML5 <video> tag for inclusion on the web page. You can specify the size of the 'player' to those smaller dimensions, but this leaves the option for people to full screen it at the native 1080 for a better image.

How to pick quality stock for a delivery in WM

Hi All,
I am working on a scenerio wherein stock is to be picked from unrestricted and quality stock type, wherver available. It has been acheived by making setting in availability check control "Include Quality Stock".
The scenerio and the issue is-
The storage location is WM linked. For testing I maintained stock only in Quality . While creating delivery for a sale order, the batch got determined which belongs to quality stock. But when I do LT03 for the delivery it tries to pick the stock from unrestricted use in WM.
How to make system search the stock in the Quality in WM.
Thanks in advance
Vinod

Hi bmemq,
You can do this with the Equal? function found in the Comparison palette. You would have one Equal? function for each index that you're interested in- one input would be a constant of that number and the other input will be the index terminal of the for loop. Next, you can you a Compound Arithmetic found in the Boolean palette. The number of inputs of the Compound Arithmetic can be expanded to match the number of indices that you're interested in, and each input will be the output of an Equal? function. Finally, the output of this Compound Arithmetic will be in the input of the selector in a Case Structure where you will have a true and false case to toggle the Boolean.

How to lock Safety Mode for YouTube on AppleTV

I noticed the new YouTube update for Apple TV has Safety Mode, however it looks like you can turn it on or off only. Is there a way to lock it?

The setting you choose, either on or off, is remembered by the YouTube app so it will remain as you set it.
If you are asking is there a way to prevent someone else from changing it once it is set then the answer is no, there appears no way to lock it.

Best quality AUDIO for Youtube - what settings do you use from Premiere?

I heard that if you render straight out to FLV then upload it to Youtube, Youtube will not convert the Stereo audio to Mono lower quality. It will retain exactly the same audio settings as you rendered out.
However, if you use MP4 or something else, it will render it down to Mono lower quality.
I want to make sure my audio is Stereo at least 256K MP3.
Any comments?

Opinions on Highest quality encode for DVD

I am doing a 16:9 Loop DVD for a tradeshow display. It will be shown on a 50" Plasma screen. I am trying to get the best quality encode on the screen. The project is 50 Sec long (storage & encode time not an issue) and contains both graphics and video elements. Video elements were shot on HDV. Compositing done in After Effects at 1920x1080. There does not seem to be a direct way to encode from AfterEffects to MPEG2, probably because the frame size is not MPEG2 standard. What would be the absolute best workflow to get to MPEG2 with as little artifacting as possible? I'm thinking uncompressed 10bit 4:2:2?
G5 2.5 Dual Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Someone here said once that 10 bit was overkill and that there may be issues with some encoders's conversions from 10-bit down to 8-bit.
Having said that, I'd use either 10-bit or 8-bit uncompressed codec. You probably want to resize your After Effects render down to 720x480 on export from your render queue, rather than have the MPEG2 encoder do it. Then take the uncompressed 720x480 file and MPEG2 encode away. Since it's only 50 seconds, I'd do a 7.5Mbps CBR 16:9 encode (if delivery is via DVD-R).

Wanting highest quality result for DVD

I intend for my projects to be viewed on TV. Are there 'essential' steps and or settings I need to pay particular attention to in order to have a crisp clean product? For instance, during ...
Capture
Production
Exporting/Burning
These are not necessarily artistic projects, home video of children, christmas', vacations, etc - just want a respectable result.

I use both iMovie 08 and iMovie 06, if I want to make a DVD I prefer iMovie 06. iMovie 08 is not as DVD friendly as iMovie 06.
iMovie 08 has replaced "Share to iDVD" with "Share to media browser". Also iMovie 08 cannot set chapter markers, this has to be done with another program.
When using iMovie 06, one mouse click will set a chapter marker EXACTLY where you specify. In just a few seconds set all your chapter markers. When you are done editing just "share to iDVD 08" and all of your chapter markers will be there!
iMovie 06 and iDVD 08 is a terrific combination.
Your primary workflow is editing DV clips and making DVDs, iMovie 06 is better suited. Your movie will arrive at iDVD 08 in DV format, which is an ideal match for making a DVD: same resolution, same pixels aspect ratio, and original quality. If you share your movie from iMovie '08, it gets re-rendered at 640x480 or less, and then iDVD upscales it back to 720x480. The end result is obviously not as good.
Apple includes iMovie 06 as a free download to iLife 08 owners. (THEY WANT YOU TO HAVE IT!)

The Web site below has a good comparison of iMovie 08 and iMovie 06.

Highest quality import settings for iTunes 9?

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;ylt=AooGuxvheq40oC0etoPY8yvty6IX;ylv=3?qid=20090909143724AALIlSP
*What are the highest quality import settings for iTunes 9?*
I just got iTunes 9 and I want to know what the HIGHEST quality import settings are with the exception of Apple Lossless. I usually import cd's as
AAC
Stereo Bit Rate: 320kbps
Sample Bit Rate: 48.000 kHz
Channels: Stereo
Now when I go into the custom menu and try to set these settings, it gives me an error message that reads the following:
"The selected combination of bit rate and sample rate is not allowed."
I was thinking about using WAV but I want a format that will be compatible with other/future personal media players as well such as Zune's and Creative MP3 players. Right now I have an iPod and don't plan on changing anytime soon. I just want the highest quality sound for my ears to hear.
so, *What is the highest for AAC?*
*Should I switch to WAV?*
& if you could, *What are highest quality settings for the other formats as well.*

well i personally think you should go with mp3 at 320kbps (max for that file format) main reason for this is that mp3 is compatible with pretty much everything, where as aac isn't although it is getting a bit better. the main difference between aac and mp3 is in the lower bit rates, i.e aac 128kbps sounds equivalent to mp3 192kbps (suppoesdly) but when you go from 192kbps and up both file formats sound basically the same, just a variation in file size. ig you want the highest quality for you ipod i would say 320kbps mp3. anything higher isn't worth it becuase most earphones cant even pick it up, only if you have high quality ones.

What are highest quality export settings from iMovie to FCE 4.0?

I am using iMovie '08 to create Ken Burns effect movies from iPhoto photos to import into FCE. I want the least amount of loss from iMovie to FCE.
What are the highest quality settings for exporting from iMovie to FCE.
I do not care about size of file etc. Highest quality is all that matters to me.
Cheers,
Chuck

Well here are the facts.
My original question rephrased: "I want to know what are the settings to export Ken Burns created movies (therefore using photos) from iMovie (in this case iMovie '08) with the least loss and regardless of file size for importation into Final Cut Express".
I went to the local Apple store and some of the users (employees) of Final Cut Pro mentioned appropriately they thought .DV would be the best. However when we played some created videos they looked horrible when compared to .MOV with H.264. This just did not make sense, but we went by what we were seeing. Not being able to think with this I did more research and found this article which explained why .DV lookes like pooh pooh compared to H.264 video.
The article http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93002 explains a setting in Quicktime preferences that if not selected some videos appear pixelated.
So, when this preference in Quicktime is selected (never thought to try playing on VLC) the .DV movies look better than those using H.264. So with this resolved then my trial and error testing was realistic. That is I could try different export settings and see which ones looked better to determine the best export setting.
I tried what I thought was everything as far as "Export using Quicktime..." settings. Then I read in "iMovie '08 & iDVD: The Missing Manuals" under "The Video Codecs: A Catalog" an explanation of every type of compression when using the settings under "Movie to QuickTime Movie". Finally someone wrote more data on the codecs. I never found such explanation on the apple website (discussions etc). I really got tired of reading how H.264 is the better than sliced bread "greatest quality for the file size" which I think is true but did nothing to answer my original question. The book then mentioned the option "none". I was like I don't remember this option for "Compression Type". (BTW this all applies to iPhoto '08, Final Cut Express 4, and QuickTime Pro). So I tried "None".
Wow! Zero pixelation! Vivid colors! So I created three videos. One using H.264, DV/DVCPRO - NTSC and None (I had already tried many others but for this last experiment just these three). I also maxed out the Quality for each compressor. Results:
- H.264 colors looked a little faded from the original photos and minor minor fuzziness, file size about 6 MB
- DV/DVCPRO - NTSC colors a little more vivid and less fuzziness, file size about 60 MB
- None...Bam! absolutely photo quality resolution and color, file size about 600 MB. I didn't care about the size.
So, bingo "None" as as the compressor settings in Quicktime to export iMovie '08 Ken Burns effect slide shows for importation into Final Cut Express (FCE) with minimal loss and who cares about the file size. Yeah, this is mammoth file but this allows me to make snappy Extremely High Quality Ken Burns effect videos in iMovie for FCE. Then when I export from FCE I don't make a copy of a copy but make my first compression of the video.
That is my answer!
I consider this thread closed and will only open if I find any of this is incorrect. BTW I already imported the iMovie '08 video with compression "None" into FCE and after rendering it looks awesome and plays well.
Cheers,
Chuck

Highest quality export

whats the highest quality export for dvd. I have a client who wants to watch it on computer, tv and projection with best quality.
Also, is a video_TS file better quality than a fcp quicktime mov file?

To get the highest quality export for DVD, you will need to buy Compressor 4 and create your own preset -- you will need to calculate the max bps based on the amount of video and the size of the DVD (SL vs DL).
Video_TS isn't a file, it is a folder and part of the structure of the DVD. DVDs use mpeg2, which is highly compressed and there will be a maximum level of quality you can get based on the length of the video.
A quicktime mov file by itself can contain most any codec, and thus any level of quality. But generally speaking, it is meant for viewing on computers, unless you have a streaming solution with something to decode it for the TV.
If your original source is HD, you could consider outputting to blu-ray.

Quality data for stock uploading using movement type 561

Hi,
As system Go-Live business wants to have quality certificate for all FG from SAP. But part of data for quality certificate is of intermediate materials which is already conumed for production of FG so stock is zero for batch of consumed SFG. (ALL FG AND SFG IS BATCH MANAGED). We can upload FG part of quality data require for certificate as FG stock with batch number will be uploaded as initial stock upload with 561 goods movement. But how to manage SFG part of quality data, as stock for consumed batch of SFG will be zero and hence can not have inspection lot for SFG batch.
Can anyone suggest how to upload quality data for material?
Help to resolve this issue will be rewarded with points.
Thanks and regards,
Devang
