Making an explanatory video for users of Azure

I went to MSDN to post a question to a forum on Azure, but when I click 'ask a question' it takes me here to "machine learning" instead of to "features", "pricing" etc..
Anyway, the question is this. I had a trial version of Azure, and I put up maybe 800 meg of videos and I also used Azure media services to get URLS to them that I could view in a webpage.
I looked at my costs (my bill), and it looked like I was only getting charged about a dollar a month.
I couldn't believe this, and since I also did not know how to terminate my account, or even delete the storage that I was using up, I just stopped paying.
Now, I want my website users to get their own storage from Microsoft, and I want to give them an explanatory video that shows them how to use Azure media services so that they can store their own videos, and also post the URL to my website, where they can
watch those videos with some features added by my website.
But I need to be sure I understand the billing, before I create this tutorial video for them.
If they put up perhaps 40 videos of 100 meg each (4000 meg is about 4 Gigabytes) and use the media services etc. Are they really only going to be charged a few dollars a month?
Thanks,

Hi Gidmaestro,
A Media Service account is tightly coupled with one (or more) storage accounts. If you already have a storage account, you may choose to assign it to your new Media Service account. Please refer to
http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/storage/ for the azure storage billing details.

Jambor

I am making a graduation video for my cousin using Final Cut Pro. I have photos layered over videos, and I was wanted to find out how you can add a border around the photos so they stand off of the video. Anyone know what I could do?

You would need an image editor to edit the images and add a border to the image first before importing them into Final Cut.
Cheapest and very good image editor?

Advice for Making Screen Recorded Videos for FCP

I want to use some screen recording software to record some tutorials on using various features of a website. The video will later be imported into FCP where I will edit it, add transitions, titles and voice overs. The final videos will be uploaded to YouTube.
1. Can anyone recommend a size that I should use when recording my screen? Should I start as high as possible and later downconvert?
2. What is a good size to upload to YouTube these days for something like this where I want to make sure the user will be able to see the details of a link, button, etc.?
Thanks!

This is an excellent app that will allow you to edit, add bells and whistles, and compress and post all within the application:

Explainer video for non-professional user

I am making an explainer video for my small consulting company. I am very new to all of this but need to do this in-house. My question is, can I buy a template from a place like video hive and fully customize the movement and colors? Will a non-professional user be able to get up the learning curve to learn the aspects of doing so?

what Ben says …
in addendum:
I'm no professional user of M5, just made me a few plug-ins/animated titles/generators for my FCPX' projects.
M5 has a steep learning curve!
As a beginner, you think, you have to do it all by 'key frames' until you realize the power & beauty of M5's Behaviors … in combo with a 'paint app', such as Pixelmator, which supports psd-format = delivering layers, you can create impressive animations within minutes ... ok, hours
but ready-made templates for 'explainer videos' - never saw that??
You have a link to an example, what you like to accomplish? .....

You will need an external drive that is formatted as MAC OS EXTENDED (journaled).
Move the Project, Events, and any photos and music to the external drive by following the instructions in this post.
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4141
Be sure to use CONSOLIDATE MEDIA to get the photos and music. Then plug this drive into your computer and you will be able to edit.

Can I broadcast live video for 1000 users?

Hi:
Is possible, using Flash Media Server, broadcast live video
for 1000 users?,
how much bandwidth do I need?,
What system requeriment is need for this load (in linux)?,
What maximum video size and fps is possible to get?
regards,
Christian

You should have no problem serving a stream to 1000 users on
a single server (a dual xeon/2bg ram box ought to do it).
Your bandwidth requirements will depend on the bitrate of the
video stream. Multiply the stream bitrate by the number of users
(plus 1 for the publisher), and you'll get your bandwidth figure.
For example, if the video is published at 300kbps, you'll use
about 290mbps for your 1000 users.
For the video size, I wouldn't go much larger than 640x480.
The flashplayer doesn't use the video card to render video, and
redrawing the screen with a large video chews through lots of
processor cycles very quickly.

Creating video for YouTube - which user settings?

I've seen a lot of posts about converting video for posting on YouTube but I can't find any information on the best sequence setting to CREATE video for posting on YouTube. I'm making a 30-45 second promotional video that will be entirely made up of stills/text and music, so I'm just going to be doing moves on jpegs. YouTube videos are now displayed 640.360, but I can't find a FCP sequence preset that will allow me to create a video at that size. Am I missing something? Should I just create it at some other widescreen setting then convert it down? Trying to keep this is simple as possible -- do not want to have to render every clip in the timeline.
thanks,
p

Am I missing something?
Make your original video in one of the codecs supported by Final Cut Pro. You will find a list of possible codecs in the Easy Setup menu.
do not want to have to render every clip in the timeline...
Your source material is JPEG images. While they can be imported, they don't use a codec of their own. They will have to be rendered.

User Enrollment when you have Azure MFA for Office 365/Azure AD and On-Premise resources

I'm working on setting up MFA for our company and want to establish the following configuration:
implement MFA for Office 365/Azure AD/organizational account
implement MFA for a Windows Server 2008 R2 TS
i've got things working for Azure AD and have installed the Azure MFA Server on a DC. where i'm getting stuck is that it looks like you have to set up a user enrollment portal internally and have the users enroll a second time. we're using Azure
AD Sync between AD and Azure AD, but we are not interested in ADFS. is there any way to use the existing Azure AD enrollment for the internal users authentication?
take care,
Wylie

Not at this time. The MFA Server is currently independent of Azure AD so the MFA enrollment for users are separate. We are working to converge the on-premises and cloud scenarios to make a single enrollment possible for both locations. I don't have a timeline
to announce at this time, but it is in the works.

Scott,
What are the requirements for Droid video? Might be as simple as matching the Export Frame Size, format/CODEC and FPS, or might be much more.

Making Optimal Videos for Vimeo

Just curious if any other folk use Vimeo and what video settings you use in Adobe to give optimal performance on Vimeo.
Also, I get the following error uploading to Vimeo:
"This video's datarate is only 2688kbps, which is lower than what we recommend and means your video might not look as nice as it should. For HD video, we suggest you use a higher datarate, typically 5000kbps"
I have 9.0 and use HD 720p 30, but I don't seen ay options in there for setting the datarate?
Anybody know where this can be found, or what it's even for? ;-)
Thanks!

Exporting HD video for web

What settings should I use to compress a HD video for web?

It depends a lot on what level of broadband you expect the user to have, and whether the video has to play immediately. There are some natural sizes to use for the video, such as 1280x720, 960x540 or 640x360, and the frame rate ought to be 24, 25, or 30, depending on the source material.
Making it for medium to good broadband, and with wanting the video to play right away, you could do say 1280x720, 1 megabit per second, H264. It would look reasonably good. If you don't mind people having to download for a little while before the video can play, then take the data rate up to 3 mbps.
So, one way to look at that would be to use the AppleTV preset from QuickTime Player, then open that mp4 file and save as to mov (just to make your html task easier). It would look very good, but might take a bit of downloading time before it's ready to start playing.
