IPhoto 11: Best practice to export a slideshow

Hi all,
after reading some posts on this matter I'm almost more confused than beginning so I hope someone can help me with "latest" best practices.
Hi have iPhoto 11 and normally I'm making slideshows for watching on HD TV.
For DVD burning I'm using Toast 11 (instead of iDVD).
Then, considering that converting in DVD I'll loose in quality, which are the best export parameters I should use ?
I've been suggested to use (I may have transalted something wrongly as I'm using the Italian version):
Export -> Personal Setting
Keeping "Export for Quick Time usage" -> Options
Under Video tab:
Compression: H.264
Speed Frequency: 25 (for PAL) with Automatic below
Compressor Quality: Max
Codify: Quick (single)
Under Dimension tab:
Dimension: 1920x1080 HD
Thanks in advance for your advice here.
Regards
Giancarlo

OK, so let me repeat just to be sure I understood well.
Could you confirm that all parameters I'm using are OK but dimensions?
About dimensions:
a. use 720x526 when I'm burning a standard DVD for 4:3
b. use 1024x576 when I'm burning a standard DVD for 16:9 .... is this feasible or just a. is available ?
c. use 1280x720 or 1920x1080 when I'm burning a BR (for HD watching)
Am I right ?
Regards
Giancarlo

What is the best way to export a slideshow .I like to show my slideshows via appleTV on my TV

What is the best way to export a slideshow.I like to view the show trough AppleTV on my television.

You don't really give us a lot of information to work with, and assume we know something about this mdeia player. The only way to get the slideshow to a media player is to export it from iPhoto. To where? Depends on the media player. Will iTunes work? Depends on the media player. Does the media player have a DVD drive? If so, then burning it to DVD with iDVD will work, but it will be standard def not HD.

Best practice for exporting a dps folio so a third party can work on it?

Hi All,
Keen for some thoughts on the best practice for exporting a dps folio, indd files, links and all, so a third party can carry on the work. Is their a better alternative to packaging each individual indd file and sharing the folio through adobe?
I know there have been similar questions here in the past, but the last (that i've found) was updated mid 2011 and I was wondering if their have been any improvements to this seemingly backwards workflow since then.
Thanks in advance!

Nothing better than packaging them and using Dropbox to share. I caution you
on one thing as far as packaging:

Best practice for exporting from iMovie '08 to iDVD

I am looking to find out what is the best practice for exporting from iMovie '08 to iDVD. I have read the other postings that give the basic howto (export to Media Browser then select the video in iDVD). However, my question is a little more technical. I have 1080i HD projects. I am interested in burning them to DVD in the best possible quality. What setting should I be using when I publish to Media Browser?
I am wondering about quality loss due to more than one conversion/compression. I suspect that when I export to the Media Browser then this is occurring. If I am not mistaken iMovie is using something like H.264 for this. Then, when I run iDVD I suspect it will it do another conversion/compression, I think to get to MPEG2. Not only could this result in a loss of quality but also it will take extra time. I am interested to know what others think about this.
Finally, I am looking to create DVDs for a lot of video. I am wondering if there are any USB or firewire hardware devices out there that could speed up the compression. I use the Elgato Turbo.264 when I want to encode to H.264 but I wonder if there is something similar for DVD creation.
Thanks in advance.

the standards for videoDVD are 720x480, and usually mpeg2 encoded..
so, your HiDef project HAS to be 'downsampled' somehow..
I would Export with Qucktime/apple intermediate => which is the 'format' your project is allready, and you avoid any useless 'inbetween encoding'..
iDVD will 'swallow' this huge export file - don't mind: iDVD cares for length, not size.
iDVD will then convert into DVD-standards..
you can 'raise' quality, by using projects <60min - this sets iDVD automatically to highest technical possible bitrate
hint: judge pic quality on a DVDplayer + TV.. not on your computer (DVDs are meant for TVdelivery)

Best Practices for Export

I have recently begun working with a few AIC-encoded home movie files in FCPX. My goal is to compress them using h.264 for viewing on computer screens. I had a few questions about the best practices for exporting these files, as I haven't worked with editing software in quite some time.
1) Is it always recommended that I encode my video in the same resolution as its source? For example, some of my video was shot at 1440x1080, which I can only assume is anamorphic. I originally tried to export at 1920x1080 but then changed my mind as I assumed the 1440x1080 would just stretch naturally. Does this sound right?
2) FCPX is telling me that a few of my files are in 1080i. I'd like to encode them in 1080p as it tends to look better on computer screens. In FCPX, is it as simple as dragging my interlaced footage into a progressive timline and then exporting? I've heard about checking the "de-interlace" box under clip settings and then doubling the framerate but that seemed to make my video look worse.
3) I've heard that it might be better practice to export my projects as master files and then encode h.264 in Compressor. Is there any truth to this? Might it be better for the interlaced to progressive conversion as well?
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

1) yes. 1440 will display ax 1920.
2) put everything in a 1080p project.
3) Compressor will give you more options for control. The h264 from FCP is a very high data rate and makes large files.

Best Practices for Exporting Files??

I'm new to Premiere (coming from FCP). I used Premiere months ago to compress some ProRes files to h.264 files for the web. I sent the files through Media Encoder and everything seemed fine. However, I realized after several weeks that the audio in all of the files was a few frames out of sync. Having not been a Premiere user at the time I did not do much research and decided to just use MPEG Streamclip from then on.
Now that I'm learning how to use Premiere, I looked up the issue on the forums and found that many people have had similar issues with the audio being out of sync after exporting. However, there are tons of different scenerios in which it seems to be occuring. The one common variable that I've noticed (among many of the threads, but not all) is that many of the people are exporting to a Quicktime format.
While I don't remember all the details of my export and sequence settings from my issue months ago (so I don't want to address that specific case), I am curious as to what are some "Best Practices" when exporting from Premiere Pro? Is there any advantage/disadvantage to use AME rather than exporting directly from Premiere Pro? In general, I will just be exporting as H.264 files for the web, MPEG-2 for DVD, and ProRes 422 for After Effects (or sometimes to bring into MPEG Streamclip).
I shoot almost entirely in AVCHD, and usually at 1080p 30fps. I'm running CS5 on a Macbook Pro 15" 2.0 Quad Core i7 8GB RAM.
While the question may seem broad, my main concern that I want to avoid is having the audio out of sync. But also I just want to know of any important details to keep in mind to prevent other issues.
Thanks,
Mike

> I'm running CS5...
What specific version? We're up to 5.0.4 now.
There have been bug fixes for audio/video synch in the updates. One of the fixes was for a bug in the conforming of audio and indexing of MPEG files, so you need to delete your media cache files and let Premiere Pro create new ones for this fix to take effect.

Best way to export imovie slideshow to idvd?

I've built an 8 min. slide show in imovie with transitions between stills and music too.
What is the best way to get it into idvd to watch on regular tv. I want a good quality. It looks great on my computer in imovie, how do i finish the final step?
I am using Leopard and imovie '09.
Under the SHARE menu I see a few export options and am not sure which one to use?
Thanks

My advice would be to do some trial runs. I have used the process AppleMan suggested with good success. I have also saved from iDVD as a disc image and created a DVD by burning using disk utility. That process yields a good final product too. Currently, I am working on a project that is about 6 minutes long including still photos, music, sound effects and titles. I did a test by exporting the slideshow movie to the desktop, opening iDVD and dropping it in and burning from there. Of all the methods I have tried, that one has given me the sharpest, brightest images. So for now, that is the process I am using. Good luck.

I have created an extensive slideshow w/music on my MacBook Pro iPhoto. How do I export a slideshow so that I can burn a DVD from it? "Help" does not offer info for this request, only if you want to export to another Apple device. Help!!!

I have created a lengthy slideshow with music on my MacBook Pro under Iphoto. What steps do I need to take in order to burn a DVD copy of this slideshow? "Help" does not offer info for this transaction, only if you want to export to another Apple device and it shows that you must first export to Itunes. Can anyone help me with information on just copying to a DVD? I don't want to email it or show it on another Apple device. I want to be able to burn multiple copies on DVDs as a gift...... Can it be done? I'm not real computer savvy

Connect the device to the computer.
In iTunes, select the content desired to sync.
Sync.
This is all described in the User's Guide, reading it may be a good place to start.

Best codec for exporting photo slideshow?

I brought some H.264 640x480 30fps 4:3 slideshow clips created by iPhoto '08 into FCP 5.1.4 to string together and added some titles. My goal is to export some sort of output file that I can then convert to some other Windows formats I can't do from within the standard Quicktime Conversion dialog. What codec should I use for export that will minimize the re-compression of the original H.264 footage? It's about 15 minutes long. I have a good deal of disk space, but perhaps not enough space (or time) to export it uncompressed?

Photo - jpeg at 75% assuming you will use QT in Windows.

Best practice to export TV Guide to TXT / CSV files

Dear All,
I have working TV Guide exporting to XML using Oracle 10g. Now I have a request to allow to export it to a TXT file delemeted by commas or tabs.
Thought using of External Tables will do the work, same as I import the data, but seems that I am wrong - it excepts only ORACLE_DATAPUMP type,
so the file can't be seen in a simple notepad / text editor.
What shall I do? Is there any documents I can read about?
Many thanks in advance!

From 10g onwards you can write to external tables. I'd be glad to be proved wrong, I don't have 10g handy at the moment, but as I recall, you could only write to external tables in data pump format, which I think is some sort of binary wrapped xml format similar to export format, not plain text.Yes, my misunderstanding of the OP's post. (see above)
The dump file set is made up of one or more disk files that contain table data, database object metadata, and control information. The files are written in a proprietary, binary format, which can be read only by Data Pump Import.That's not strictly true. You can open them up in notepad/wordpad and clearly see the data in XML format. Ok, it's got some binary rubbish around it, but the data is clear.I think the quote from the manuals refers to systems that can read the file, rather than visually reading it on a screen. What is it with XML that people think 1) they can read it and therefore 2) computer programs must be able to read it too?I never said that. ;)
The issue was about being able to open it in notepad, not about a computer program being able to read it.

Spooling generally seems the best option for writing plain text out of the database.Ewwww! not my best option. I prefer to keep things in the database rather than rely on external utilities like SQL*Plus. UTL_FILE generally does the job nicely.. otherwise write it all into a clob and use one of the various methods of writing out clobs to do it, but UTL_FILE is the simplest.Unless the stored procedure runs as a database job or schedule, something with an IO interface will be calling it. Compared to spooling UTL_FILE requires more code, is slower since it needs to loop and write a row at a time, can only write to the db server and needs directory objects, so it is both more complicated and limited.Spooling also has a nasty habit of adding an extra blank line on the end of the file. ;)

Best Practice to Export Solman Customer Data to a new one

Hi Solman experts,
We are facing a new project to move a huge Solution Manager VAR Scenario to a new one server, the biggest problems is system landscape from customer data (LMDB) and incident management customer data (ITSM), also mopz, ewa and sap service delivery that has request from customers to SAP and is Stored in solution Manager.
The information that we have to export to a new Solution Manager is:
Customers: +300 aprox.
Systems: +900 aprox.
- Solution Manager Configuration "Managed system Setup" for around +900 productive systems.
- Customer data in LMDB and SMSY ( product systems, tech.systems, logical components, solutions, etc... ).
- VAR Scenario data from: ITSM (with communication with SAP).
- VAR Scenario data from: Mopz, ewa, Sap engagement and service delivery, Solution Documentation.
We decided to do that to user a flesh installation of Solution Manager SP11 with better system resources, better than migrate our existing one.
What do you think that is the best way to migrate customer data from a SAP Solution Manager SP08 to a new server with SAP Solution Manager SP11 ?
Thanks,
Lluis

Best practice for exporting a .mov file for YouTube

I am using FCPX 10.0.9 with a MacBook Pro. We are needing to upload relatively small-size high school football videos as .mov files to YouTube for my newspaper. I have been choosing the Export File option with the setting set to h.264, exporting the file to the desktop and then uploading that .mov file to YouTube. (I do not have Compressor installed on this Mac.) The other night the first of three files done like this uploaded fine, but the next two just kept processing and processing at YouTube and never finished. The following morning the files processed fine. Any thoughts about why ths might be happening?
And would it be better to export in another file format --.mp4 files -- instead that might cause less of a problem and which of the export options would be best?
Thanks,
Douglas

Am I correctly uploading a .mov file to YouTube by using the Export File command with the export setting set to .h264 then if I wish a reasonable size file for upload?
Sure. There are many ways to get videos to YT and yours is a reasonable approach.
"Reasonable size" should be thought of in terms of upload time. Again, YT will re-compress whatever you give it. So depending on how quickly you need to get it up on the Web, it's better to upload files that have more information than less information. (To that end, some folks upload very large Pro Res files; they also have a lot of patience.)
Just to let you know, the majority of FCPX users follow one of two workflows:
1) Share>You Tube option and have FCP handle the uploading;
2) Export as a Pro Res Master File; bring the master file into Compressor and apply the user's custom settings; upload using YT's uploader.
FWIW, I prefer the second workflow.

Best practice for exporting an 8-channel Quicktime's audio into stereo and 5.1 files for Encore BD?

The subject pretty much says it all. A client has given me a Quicktimde ProResHQ with 8 channels of audio.
I understand how to export the stereo channels (1 and 2) from Premiere but how are channels 3-8 normally handled for proper 5.1 surround authoring in Encore?
Thanks for any advice - I was unable to find specifics when searching previous posts.

how are channels 3-8 normally handled for proper 5.1 surround authoring in Encore?
You must create the 5.1 outside Encore. Note that from Premiere it requires the optional Surcode.
Encore essentially passes the 5.1 through to the build process; you do not get preview of the 5.1 audio.

Best practices for exporting for digital signage?

I am exporting video clips to be displayed in a PC-based digital signage system. My video was shot in 1080i60, and I imported and edited the footage using HDV sequence settings. My final export size needs to be 1920 x 1080.
I have tried a couple of export strategies (export using Quicktime conversion) and just haven't been happy with how the video clips look on the PC system -- way too much interlacing. When I realized that the HDV codec is not cross platform, I started taking the additional step of opening and re-saving the .mov file in Quicktime. Now I'm fiddling around with Compressor, just to add more complications. I have tried so many different settings and codecs that I have completely lost my way! Can anyone recommend a workflow for this situation?
I am using FCP6 and Compressor 3 on an iMac OS 10.5.8.
Thanks for any help.

I still see interlacing on the H.264 export that I don't see when I export the sequence as HDV. Of course, I can't get the HDV export to play on a PC.
I'm trying to read between all of the lines here...I'm going to assume there is a fundamental lack of understanding about what interlacing is and how you're going to remove it. The display either handles interlaced or progressive video files; one or the other. Let's assume it's progressive only. Since you shot interlaced, you must decide how you're going to remove the interlacing; you either throw away one filed or your combine them. If you combine them, you will see combed edges on anything that moves horizontally because every other line of pixels was captured 1/60th of a second later in time. If you throw away one field, you might as well have shot 720.
Where do you want o make this compromise?
