I need help with export settings

Hi everyone,
I need help outputting an HD file for presenting a video to a client. I have tried exporting to HD .mov (H.264 codec) and PE keeps crashing (error compiling movie). From what I’ve read here, it’s due to the gargantuan file QT creates and HD space (even though I think I have enough HD available).
So, I need a recommendation from you on what kind of file to output which will allow me to present the movie to the client in HD. This file is solely for the presentation, I have already published for web (FLV) and YouTube (direct share from PE) and they both worked fine.
Here are my project specs:
Timeline:           4:26
Format:               1920 X 1080 HD
Timebase:          29.97 frames per second
OS:                        Windows XP SP3
Processor:          Intel Core 2 Duo @ 2.66GHz
RAM:                    4GB
Project Drive:   250GB disk with 152GB free space internal dedicated project drive (separate from OS)
Thanks in advance for your help,
Jose

Hi Steve, Neale,
I wanted to follow-up on this post. I came into the office today to run a few tests so I can make sure that I have the correct settings on my camera and PE project for the next time around. Here are few observations I was wondering if you can comment on:
My Sony camera cannot shoot HDV. The only format it supports is AVCHD, so I'm stuck converting.
I tried to convert the footage I have to HDV with the software I have (AVS Video Converter and Koyote Soft HD Converter) and neither of the two have an "HDV" conversion setting. I see AVI, MPEG, MOV and many different settings in each (AVI: Hd Video 1080p: H.264AVC, 29.97fps, 4200kbps, Audio MP3, 256 kbps or MPEG: HD Video 1080p - MPEG2, 15000 kbps, 1920X1080, 29.97fps, etc). What should I be looking for?
I searched for "best file format" in the forum and found various postings from both of you referring to converting to DV-AVI within PE; especially if you have AVCHD footage (which I have). So, I followed directions and converted a file for testing. Then, I created a new project using HDV 1080i 30 settings and imported the converted file. I still get a red line on the timeline. Any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong?
I also converted the MOV files (shot in HDV 60i with the pro camera) to DV-AVI. I also get a red line on the timeline...
The DV-AVI converted footage (both cases) doesn't appear to be HD. It looks jagged on the preview window. Is it HD?
The DV-AVI converted footage is almost double the file size as the MTS (AVCHAD) file (138mb vs. 60mb). Isn't that going to make PE run slower?
Thanks in advance for your help. I just wanna make sure I do my homework now so I set everything up correctly on the next project.
Jose

Need help with export settings...Please

I am brand new to the camera I have but been using FCP for 6 years. The camera is a Panasonic HMC150 that records in the AVCHD codec. I have an Intel Imac 20 2.4 Ghz 4 gigs of ram. My audio/video settings for the sequence in FCP are as follows:
Sequence pre set: Apple pro Res 422 1920-1080 60i 48khz (footage is 1080 60i)
I Log and Transfer with no problem, edit no problem.
My question is when I go to export the finished sequence to Idvd or DSP, what settings do I use?
I have exported to quicktime movie file with "current settings" and I have had NO luck in compleely burning a DVD. Is this the correct setting? what is everyone else using? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

DVD is standard definition. You have to compress your HD material to SD first. Crack open the manual for Compressor or DVDSP and you'll get loads of valuable info. The first 30 or so pages of the DVDSP manual are quite informative, and easy to read.

I need help with export settings of FCP project edited HDV 16:9

Hello All,
I have searched the forum only to become more confused. I shot and edited my first HD project and am ready to burn it. What are the settings needed by DVDSP for my FCP export?
FCP 6.0.5
OSX 10.5.6
1080i

Export to 16:9 SD m2v.
Usually I use self contained with an uncompressed Codec then bring that into Compressor to use Virtual Clusters. Start with a Compressor preset that is 16:9 SD that fits the footage (in other words if the video is 67 minutes, start with the 90 Minutes) and adjust frame filters to resize "better"
Some more general info on encoding to make things fit and issues to keep in mind

Need help with Export workflow.

Hello again.
Today I was experimenting with exporting a project using Export QT Movie and QT Conversion.
My goal is to show a QT project on the web, either 640x480 or 320xx240, depending on how monstrous the file size is.
My initial impression was that export QT Movie simply generates (I'm guessing) a full size rendering of the project. It's icon is a FC icon. What I did then was an "Open with..." quicktime(pro). This is where I get confused: I know that the next steps are for for preparing the project for sizes, compressions and so on. The export to QT movie seems to be a longer route to get to the settings that you need to use in QT Conversion, which after selecting QT conversion, you have the Format, Use, and Options settings.
Am I right so far?
Some background about my project- Easy setup= DV-NTSC. If I look in my browser, my clips are 720x480, 29.97fps, Compressor(?)DV/DVCPRO-NTSC, pixel aspect ratio, NTSC-CCIR 601 and anamorphic is checked.
I also have still photos motion control stuff, PS tiffs, that do not have anamorphic checked.
Form here on is where I get confused.
Under settings, I am selecting DV/dvc-NTSC for compression frame rate 29.97, medium compressor, scan mode, interlaced, and aspect 4:3.
The filters setting I don't use.
The size setting I'm trying 320x240 with aspect ratio and de interlace video UNCHECKED.
Is this a good workflow for the web. I notice on 640x480 my titles (livetype) seem kind of jagged.
Any help preparing a project for the web would be appreciated. If you need more info let me know.
Thanks so much.
Jonathan

Thanks for the additional comments and ideas.
In terms of profile, as I mentioned, the intermediates will be going off to the editor (off-site) for editing on his FCP suite. I'll stick to working in the prescribed HDTV (Rec. 709) space, and I've given him all the detail I can of how I'm working, but crucially I haven't stood at his edit-suite to see how the stuff looks.
But, he's no newbie, so I'm hoping it'll be OK.
Blasted shame about the H.264 BluRay not being compatible with QT - I thought I had this whole issue beat until that came along. It's not a matter of disk space here, but the editor is mithering that the intermediates we are testing, in either PNG, or Animation, and a couple of others, are choking his playback.
I'm not sure what to say about that, other than to go down this road of trying to squish these intermediates as low as possible without wrecking the look, hence finding that the DNxHD is providing the best solution. If it had been a SD project, I might well have tried the native H.264, even over our normal PNG workflow.
So what will play the native H.264 BluRay compressed output?
Julian.

Need Help with Export to ePub in CS5.5

I am working on my first ePub in InDesign 5.5. When I go to File—Export for— there is no option for ePub. In fact there is only "Buzzword" and it grayed out. How do I get export for epub?

In InDesign CS 5.5, it's File > Export > EPUB.
However, if this is new for you, if you haven't prepared your file properly, it may come out like mush.
You need to prepare export order, styling of paragraph styles, character styles and object styles, you need to create a TOC style, there are many steps.
I highly recommend one of these two resources:
Anne-Marie Concepcion has a video series on Lynda.com for CS5.5:
http://www.lynda.com/InDesign-CS5-5-tutorials/to-EPUB-Kindle-and-iPad/82258-2.html
You can get a week trial for free.

I need help with exporting 720p video for youtube.

Hi everyone, I have been using Adobe premeir for almost a year now and I love it, as its very professional and powerful. I used to edit Standard with no problem, then export the full unconverted file (wmv) and run it though Windows Movie Maker to compress it (haha yeah I know its crazy.) Now that I got a camera capable of shooting HDV I want to use it. Im just wondering the following:
1.What format should I export with in Adobe Media Encoder? (Original Raw footage files from Camera are MOV formatted)
2.What should I set the Bitrate to?
3.How do I export to flash without it being to large of a file (Under 200mb's for a 5 minute video) and have it not choppy or pixelated?
4.How do I speed up exporting, how many passes should I do?
5.What overall is the best setup for youtube?
I also noticed a small glitch, and its when I export normally (full size, no compression) and run it though a compressor it cuts out all of the titles, and just flashes them for a milisecond. Its really odd. It only happens when I export in a certain format in which I cannot quite remember. Anyways.. thanks in advance for helping me. Its very appreciated.

Need help with compressor settings

I hoped someone could help me with this. I have HD footage that has been captured in FCP as SD, so it's 4:3, with letter box so that the original 16:9 footage wasn't stretched.
I need to make small Quicktime movies for streaming on the internet. I want to keep the proportions that I have, but I want to crop out the black letter box for a 320x180 video. How do I do this?
I could also use help in determining which codecs to use. I want the best possible picture quality at a file size of less than 2MB per 1 min. of footage at the above dimensions.
Please help if you can. Thanks!

I'm also experimenting with the exact same thing. Only difference to yours - I am maintaining the 4:3. Here's what is giving me best results so far - the quality is very good, however I am still working on reducing the file size -> right now I'm at 4 MB/minute. I am trying get better file size only by slowly reducing the Kbps in the Video Settings until my results get unacceptable. All the rest remains as here - (my COMMENTS IN UPPER CASE):
File Extension: mov
Estimated file size: 970 KB
(I'M USING A 15 SEC TEST CLIP)
*Audio Encoder
IMA 4:1, Stereo (L R), 22.050 kHz
*Video Encoder
Format: QT
Width: 320
Height: 240
Pixel aspect ratio: square
Crop: (L: 50, T: 50, R: 50, B: 50)
(I'M CROPPING AWAY THE ACTION SAFE ZONE, KEEPING 4:3. YOU CAN ADJUST THESE SETTINGS TO YOUR LIKING IN THE GEOMETRY TAB.)
Frame rate: 12
(MY SOURCE IS DV PAL - THUS 12 FPS. IF YOU ARE USING NTSC YOU SHOULD GO FOR 15 OR EVEN 10 FPS. THIS WILL GIVE YOU HALF OF EVEN 1/3 FILE SIZE RESPECTIVELY)
*Frame Controls:
Retiming: Nearest Frame
Resize Filter: Linear Filter
Deinterlace Filter: Motion Adaptive
Adaptive Details: Off
Antialias: 0
Detail Level: 0
Field Output: Progressive
*Codec Type: H.264
Multi-pass: On, frame reorder: On
Pixel depth: 24
Spatial quality: 75
Min. Spatial quality: 25
Temporal quality: 50
Min. temporal quality: 25
*Average data rate: 0.512 (Mbps)
I hope this helps you. Please let me know if you find out anything helpful to keep that quality, but reduce the file size! Good luck. Keep in touch!

Need Help With Exporting EPS Files That Will Be Opened In Another Program

I am trying to export some files from Illustrator in EPS format, to be used in another program called "Blufftitler". Their documentation is pretty sparse and doesn't go into much detail. It only mentions the following:
"Limited support
BluffTitler has limited EPS support. It only imports filled shapes built out of lines and curves from uncompressed, unoptimized EPS files."
No matter what settings I try in Illustrator when exporting the EPS file, it won't open in Blufftitler, and keeps throwing me errors. I tried Choosing "Illustrator 3" as the format, and turning off the preview option. I also tried "expanding" the shape itself several times too. Is there some other way in Illustrator to just export a bare-bones EPS files without any extras or other stuff that might cause problems with other programs?
The funny thing is, when I create EPS files with another program, such as Vector Magic, they work fine in Blufftitler - it just seems to have a problem with EPS files created in Illustrator specifically.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!

The main problem is with BluffTitler is it doesn't have a very good eps handler as it can really only import eps files that are about 10k each and are not overly complex. If you look at all the sample .eps files that come with it, each one is about 1 or 2k each. A simple circle in Illustrator, even when saved as v3 without a preview, is around 258k. The reason for the larger file sizes is due to the extra things being saved in the file that aren't even on the page, such as brush presets and graphic styles. The sample .eps files that come with BluffTitler don't have these presets so the files are already smaller.
Something you may want to try is to open up one of the sample eps files and use that file for your vector work but save the file with a new name. I found that by doing this I could get the files down to a much smaller size. You may also want to setup any vectors in Illustrator first, save them, and then open the files in InkScape, http://www.inkscape.org. From what I've read, InkScape can get you fairly small file sizes so it's something you should check out.

Need help with exporting iphoto to dvd

Hi,
I am trying to export a bunch of albums from iphoto to a brand new dvd-r disc. I am trying to move the photos to free up more space on the computer. I get the message "there is not enough disk space to complete this operation" when I try to export just one album (total 826mb). I still have 870mb free on my HD. Thanks for your help.

I still have 870mb free on my HD.
You have a major crisis right now and you need to solve it immeadiately.
OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
Your first priority is to make more space on that HD.
Nothing else can be done until you do. Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.
Burning material to optical disk will not work Creating a disk needs a large amount fo disk space - at least twice the amount you think you need.
But really, you must make space on that HD. You are in grave danger of losing important data.

Need help with exporting video

I hope that you will be able to assist me with my issue. This products has been a learning curve and I am finally down to the end of this project but I am struggling with creating the final product. What I really would like is to create a MP4 or something comparable that can be put on a jump drive and played on any computer. Also, I need to have the menu in the beginning of the DVD instead of the video itself beginning at start up.
Edited by: Kevin Monahan
Reason: Please make a shorter title for your post.

Not quite sure if you want mp4 just to play on the computer or do you want to make a dvd also.
Mp4 does not come with a menu, under H.264 you will find several presets like HD 1080p.
If you want a menu you have to make a dvd but you need Encore to do so. Encore is a seperate download.
Follow the instructions in the link
Encore CS6 not installed with Creative Cloud
For exporting to dvd you need to make mpeg2-dvd file.
I gather you have never worked with Encore then follow instructions in link below.

Exchange was deployed without a CASArray, need help with array settings and PRF to fix.

I'm standing up a new Exchange 2010 server to replace old hardware (not going 2013 at this time) and found out the hard way that the person who built the old 2010 box never created a CASArray. I've created one and applied it to the mailbox DB on the
new server with set-rpcclientaccess and it works fine - I move my own mailbox to the new DB and do a "Repair" to the Outlook profile and then it shows the address for the CAS Arrary within Outlook.
I set up a hardware load balancer for the CAS Array IP address and it shows good connection from both CAS servers, Outlook is connecting through that just fine.
Users are on Outlook 2007 and 2010, almost all 64-bit versions.
Reconfiguring everybody's outlook isn't going to be a practical solution for me - I support a couple hundred geographically-dispersed users most of whom aren't keen to muck about in their Outlook settings. So here are my questions:
Should I add the mailbox DB on the old CAS server to the array using set-rpcclientaccess or will this disrupt connectivity for all users?
Assuming I need to use a PRF to update client computers, have read several pages on how to create the PRF, but even launching outlook.exe /importprf doesn't fix the value - and /promptimportprf doesn't prompt (I see a brief flash of what is probably the
prompt window but it disappears immediately). I'm going to paste in the PRF in use exempting sections 5, 6 and 7 which are unchanged. Where do I correctly need to enter the CAS array value?
[General]
Custom=1
DefaultProfile=Yes
OverwriteProfile=Append
ModifyDefaultProfileIfPresent=true
; Section 2 - Services in Profile
[Service List]
;ServiceX=Microsoft Outlook Client
; Section 3 - List of internet accounts
[Internet Account List]
; Section 4 - Default values for each service.
;[ServiceX]
;FormDirectoryPage=

;WebServicesLocation=

[Service1]
HomeServer=cas.corp.mydomain
DefaultProfile=Yes

If you move a mailbox from one server to another, Outlook will automatically repair the Outlook profile. Have you tried this, instead of trying to force a profile update using a PRF?

Need Help with Export

I have a 57 min project( 1920x1080 i ) that I have exported as 1920 x 1080 P QT movie. It's about 6 GB. I will be showing this on a projector. I went to the venue to test things out, but due to some difference in cables plus Mac file vs windows system, was not able to do a test. From what I saw on start up of the projector the resolution is something like 800x 600 .
If I were to re-export this project or perhaps convert it using QT Pro........would there be any benefit to using a different resolution say like 1240 x 720 ?
I would have a smaller file size for sure but might the projector handle a lower resolution better ? I am going to be testing my movie again tomorrow afternoon and would like to have the best image I can squeeze out of the equipment.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Thanks for the quick response Tom. I can't play it from my MBP because my machune's output doesn't connect to the projector. They don't have HDMI wired to the projector from the podium, but I can use my wifes older MBP to connect. I'll try setting the resoultion as you suggested. I'll also take a thumb drive with the movie to try on their windows XP machine and see what I can do with that. Go back to a windows machine seems very foreign to me now.

Need help with JSSE settings for Axis2 auto-generated client.

Hi all.
I have several working clients generated for me in Axis2 from WSDL's using wsdl2java utility. The clients use HTTP transport but I need to use HTTPS now. I assume JSSE is used for SSL communication in Axis2.
I have created the keystore and set these parameters in code.
System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStore", "/path/to/.keystore");
System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword", "changeit");
The lower level mechanics such as socket creation and utilization are hidden from me in Axis2.
What other ssl parameters can be set similar to these? I particularly care about protocol, cipher, keep-alive? I couldn''t find the whole list with possible values. Or may be I should use some different method to set them?

Hi,
While creating the stub use https as end point instead of http.
example: https://java.bytesforall.org/webservices
Configure the properties for the SSL and so that jsse be have accordingly
https.cipherSuites,javax.net.ssl.trustStore ...etc.
If you are planning to make your webservice client FIPS complaint. Currently there is a problem with Axis1.4 it is not honoring the property "https.cipherSuites" to use the cipher suites.
Let me know, if you need any further help

Need help with color settings

I am printing from InDesign CS2 to a Lanier LD 335c multifunction color printer. The colors do not match what is on the pc, and the image quality is grainy. Unfortunately this is a network printer so I do not have access to make changes to the printer settings. I have played with the color management settings in InDesign, the printer driver settings on the pc and everything else I can think of. The technician has come out to look at it, replaced parts and recalibrated the machine, but nothing has changed.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I am ready to give up.
Thanks!
