Non-Standard bitrate for Mpeg 2

Hello,
There's a video distribution place in town that will accept Mpeg 2 files sent over an FTP for delivery format. This is an attractive idea as it would save tape stock and messenger fees
Problem is, they require the bit rate to be between 10 and 25 Mbps
Anyone have any experience making this happen? And, with what software?
Thanks,
Mark

I produced a commercial and the one broadcaster requested a MPEG-2 for master. They wanted a multiplexed MPEG 2 Stream.
I used Compressor>created a custom MPEG-2 setting>selected Multiplexed MPEG...I renamed the file name extension from a .mts to .mpg sent it over and everyone seemed pleased.

Ask them what MPEG 2 type. Can they send you a sample to review?

  • How to use non-standard port for vnc?

    Our Windows users who use RDC to connect to their desktops from off-site come in on a non-standard port number. Part of our security setup.
    I'd like to do the same with Mac users who use screen sharing and vnc to connect remotely.
    How can I specify another port number at both ends to accomplish this?
    I can find nothing in the Network Utility app, or in the KB.
    Surely there's a short sequence of Terminal commands that will do this?

    I haven't tried this so don't know whether it will work. But I think it will. Presuming the target machine is a Mac, see if editing its /etc/services file will do it. Find the two lines that start with "vnc-server" and change the port number there. Launch Terminal.app as an administratively privileged user, sudo pico /etc/services, ^w to search for vnc-server, make the changes, ^x to exit, y to save and overwrite. Also, you will need to have screen sharing enabled in the target machine's System Preferences' Sharing, and the authorized users defined there, too. Reboot. Now, on the remote client, assuming it is also a Mac, the user would type ⌘k in the Finder (or mouse to Finder > Go > Connect to Server), and enter something like vnc://123.45.67.89:55900 where you substitute the actual IP address or host name for where I have entered 123.45.67.89, and where you substitute the actual alternate port number where I have entered 55900. Of course, in the clients' Screen Sharing's Preferences, they should choose to encrypt the entire session, not just the login. Like I said, I haven't tried this because I just tunnel my vnc stuff through ssh, but I'm thinking that this should work.

  • Creating Tables for COPA ( Non standard)

    Dear SAP Gurus,
    Pls adivse what is the easiest way to create non-standard tables for COPA ??
    In addition to CE1XXXX; CE2XXXX; CE3XXXX; CE4XXXX & also COEP; COEJ; COSS; COSP;  We need to create additional tables to store the data and then perform certain calcuations before taking forward to COPA reports.
    Appreciate early response.
    Regards
    AJA

    I don't think that CO-PA allows you to create non-SAP CO-PA tables. Not sure what you are trying to do. The tables used by CO-PA are standard and they will be automatically generated based on the configuration of the operating concern. I guess, you could create non-SAP tables but not aware of any functionality that will populate those tables unless you create some program code to fill them with data. You can add deriviation rules to derive charateristics from other charateristic but that is standard functionality that can be configured within standard CO-PA.

  • Non-standard aspect ratio

    Currently, I am using iMovie '09 (version 8.0.6) and iMovie HD 6.0.4.
    With both programs, I failed to import a quicktime movie that has aspect ratio 0.83 (1030:1240)
    without getting a distorted output.
    (I did read the help and I also googled a lot, to no avail. I also UNchecked the box 'automatic letterboxing', but it did not have any effect.)
    My question now is: would the current versions of iMovie / HD allow me to import & edit such non-standard aspect ratio movies?
    Or do I need some other program to do that?
    If so, can you recommend something?
    (I only need some basic editing capabilities such as clipping, adding audio tracks, titles, a few simple effects, etc.)
    Thanks a lot in advance.
    Best regards,
    Gabriel.

    no version of iM did or do support non-standard video.
    the obsolote FC/pro supported 'free' aspect ratios.
    the actual FCPX only with a trick.
    not sure, but I think Adobe Premiere (full version, not elements) supports non-standards too.
    for just trimming and perhaps 'titles', Quicktime7Pro would do it - but has no effects, transitions etc. plus it is very un-convenient, compared to any designated editor.app

  • Number of button slots for (non-standard) PhoneTemplate

    Hi,
    Once I create a new non-standard phone button template in the CUCM (Device > Device Settings > Phoe Button Template), the number of the buttons on the newly created seems "unpredictable" for me. Sometimes the number of the buttons are the same as on the original template, but sometimes much more.
    For example, 'Standard 7965 SIP' has 6 buttons. If I create based on this template, my 'Standard 7965 SIP MyTemplate' will have 54 slots in it.
    Similar: 'Standard 8961 SIP' has 5 buttons, 'Standard 8961 SIP MyTemplate' has 45.
    Why? Where is this coming from?
    Additional info:
    I have checked the DatabaseDictionary documentation, which states :
    "Before insert into PhoneTemplate, if NEW.usermodifiable = false, thenusing the NEW.tkModel, get the numButton value from TypeModel. It will contain comma-separated min, max values. Take the max value and assign to NEW.numOfButtons."
    But I cannot find this 'numButton' value in the typemodel table?!

    Hi,
    even this small code fails:
            SortedMap index = new TreeMap(new LatvianStringComparator());
            index.put("baa", "baa");
            index.put("aaa", "aaa");
            index.put("aqa", "aqa");
            index.put("caa", "caa");
            Iterator it = index.keySet().iterator();
            while (it.hasNext()) {
                String key = (String)it.next();
                System.out.println(key);
            }because you assume '...first string is "less than" the second one'
    but you did not test it.
    Just add a 'less test' like:
    if (str2Rank > str1Rank) {
    //First string is "less than" the second one.
    signum = -1;
    break;
    }after
    if (str2Rank > str1Rank) {}and your code will work.
    even better: use Collator API

  • How to create Object Links For non standard SAP Objects?

    Hi all,
             I need to create an object link in cvo1n for a non standard SAP object (inspection characteristics) . we have two ways to do this
    1. Create a screen for the rquirement by taking the standard screens as reference.
    2. Implement badi document_obj.
    I need a step by step process to perform both the steps. Sample codes will be helpful.
    One more thing is that i need a link in the standard screens of inspection characteristics also. How to get a two way link both in cv01n and in the standard inspection char screen.

    hi
    Customizing for the Do cument Management , you must maintain the key fields for the SAP objects that you want to link to document info records, by choosing Control Data ® Maintain key fields.
    Process
    Program two screens for the following module pools for the SAP object that is to be linked additionally:
    u2013 SAPLCV00
    u2013 SAPLCVIN
    The process logic must be according to that of screen 0204 in program SAPLCV00 and must not be changed.
    Create the function module OBJECT_CHECK_XXXX (XXXX = name of the SAP object).
    If this object can be classified, this function module already exists in the standard system. Otherwise, copy the existing function module OBJECT_CHECK_EQUI (linking of equipment) and change it to suit the new object.
    also you can attach the document to PRT also. but it will not show you in dms. This type of attachment is only from otherside.
    thanks

  • Help with custom page size support for non standard paper

    Firstly, we appreciate any support you may be able to provide, we have already thrown considerable effort at this and it has been very time consuming and frustrating.
    To support a number of business functions need to print to (non standard) continuous and mulitpart paper on a dot matrix printer. The (test) Mac is a 10.4.11 G4 laptop, the printer is an Oki Microline 520 (9 pin 80 column, IBM Proprinter, Microline or Epson FX personalities with a parallel interface) which has been networked via a HP JetDirext Ex Plus print server. That part appears to be operating correctly.
    We have tried a number of drivers / printer personalities with varying levels of success:
    ESP / EPSON 9-Pin Series CUPS v1.1 / Epson FX personality
    ESP / OKIDATA 9-Pin Series CUPS v1.1 / Oki Microline personality
    Ghostscript / epsonc / Epson Dot Matrix Foomatic PPD / Epson FX personality
    Ghostscript / ibmpro / IBM ProPrinterII Foomatic PPD / IBM Proprinter personality
    Ghostscript / okiibm / Oki Microline IBM compatible 9 pin Foomatic PPD / IBM Proprinter personality
    There were no appropriate drivers in Gutenprint (5.2.3 version) The most successful is the okiibm / Oki Microline IBM compatible 9 pin settings, it can print A4 and honors the Printer Features Resolution settings in the print dialogue.
    Q1: Should we see anything in the Printer Info / Installable Option, it is always blank ?
    The issue is custom page sizes, we can manage / add Custom Pages Sizes via the Page Setup / Paper Size interface and they draw on the screen OK but they do not work at the printer (various issue at the printer such error messages, junk printing and wrong orientation):
    Q2: Are we heading in the right direction or is there a better way to handle this ?
    Q3: Would 10.5 solve all our problems, are the print drivers any better ?
    Q4: Is this the correct way to specify custom page sizes, is this all we need to do ?
    Q5: Is so how do we get the driver to respect the size, do we need another filter or something ?
    Q6: Is it possible to add (by hand) custom page sizes to the ESP drivers or Foomatic PPD files so they they appear as a "standard" offering in the Page Setup / Paper Size interface ?
    Sorry for the long / complicated post and thanks in advance for any advice / assistance.

    Matt Broughton wrote:
    Testing on 10.5.7, Tried both Oki 9-Pin Series 1.3 / Microline personality (no joy) and Epson 9-Pin Series 1.3 (this is a much better driver than 1.1) / Epson FX personality but not much joy with custom page sizes,
    The Oki 9-pin Series 1.3 and the Epson 9-Pin Series 1.3 should produce the same results. The only difference in the PPDs is the printer model name.
    After some testing, I find that the output is not the same despite the two PPDs being virtually identical. I did spot in the CUPS source code for the rastertoepson filter that there is some model name matching for Epson printers. Thus I can see where the output using the Oki 9-pin PPD could be different than when using the Epson 9-pin PPD.
    but again once I imbedded the page size into the ppd some (but frustrating) luck. I can get it to respect the paper orientation and it prints well but I could not get the form length to work properly. At best over a print run of 7 labels it would creep up the label by about 0.1 inches / 2 mm.
    Just for the fun of it, I made some additions to the Epson 9-pin 1.3 PPD. All I can say is that I could print a job to file. I have no way to know what it would look like on paper.
    I did find that using a custom paper size did add some unwanted margins to the output bounding box. Putting the custom page size into the PPD seemed to get around that issue.
    I added the following lines to the Epson 9-pin PPD 1.3--
    <pre style="overflow: auto;font-size:small; font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; color: #222; background: #ddd; padding: .3em .8em .3em .8em; font-size: 9px;">*PageSize Label1/Label1: "<</PageSize[288 107.8]/ImagingBBox null>>setpagedevice"

    *ImageableArea Label1/Label1: "0 0 288.00 107.80"
    *PaperDimension Label1/Label1: "288.00 107.80"</pre>
    This adds a paper size with the 4 inch (288pt) width and 1.5 inch (107.8pt) height. That represents the 1.4 inch label and the 0.1 inch gap between labels. I set 0pt margins except for the bottom where is set the 0.1 inch (7pt) gap as the bottom margin.
    The full diff in context is--

  • JRE ignores proxy setting for connections to non-standard web ports

    Hi,
    I've noticed that JRE would not use the proxy settings if the application tries to connect to a web address on a non standard http port. If port 80, 443, 8080 etc is used, the proxy is used but if it's something like 32938 it's not. Is there anyway to disable this behaviour and just have the proxy used for all HTTP traffic, regardless of destination port. Below a trace snippet that shows the behaviour.

  • Does aperture have templates for non-standard aspect ratios?

    i am not yet an aperture user, but i am interested in switching to it to improve on the photo book quality WRT iPhoto.
    i like very much to have photos with non-standard aspect ratios, either square or wide (like 3:1). these are cropped very badly by iPhoto; is it better in Aperture?
    thanks,
    b.

    The templates my have a few variations that use non-standard ratios, but you can specify any photo box ratio. You have the option to either right click and choose it from a list, or choose the custom option from that pull list, or use the "Size & Position" pane of the Aperture UI to specify an exact size, angle, and border thickness and color of a photobox. This works similar to the controls in Pages, but without some of the nice effects like transparency and drop shadows.
    If you want to create custom layouts, read the "Working with Custom Themes" section on page 609 of the user manual (download it with the trial). The trial is good for 30 days, so why not give it a spin, and if you don't think it's worth the $199, then you can always delete it at no cost to you other than your time.

  • Subtitles for 9x16 and other non-standard aspect ratios?

    We're producing several videos for a museum which will be shown on a vertical screen. We shot with our camera turned 90 degrees on its side, are editing that way and will create the DVD/MPEG4s that way. When they are shown the display will also be rotated. So far, so good.
    I am told that we can also rotate subtitle placement 90 degrees as well, but cannot find how to do this. I have seen it done in other presentations as well.
    How can I get the subtitles to run along the narrow side of our display?
    Thanks,

  • Editing non standard video sizes

    Hello everyone.
    I have a load of video which is 1120 x 593 its basically screen capture video from my PC in mov format.  All i want to do is edit these clips together and add some nice effects.  So anyway i toddled off and bought a copy of of premier elements and started movie making!
    Anyway i can't seem to figure out how to retain the size of my video as ive got to use a project template, which is great if you are using video from a device but my video is a non standard size.  Surely there is a way of doing this? 
    Do i have to make sure that my imput video matches one of the template, surely not?  You must be able somehow to do your own size?
    Thanks

    Thank you for replying.
    Basically I like to fly x-plane flight simulator which gives you the ability to record your flying and outputs the video as a high quality mov. I wanted to use premier elements just to make a movie of different clips and just add a few effects and titles  I was just going to output them as fla to watch on my pc or the web.  Or as Mpeg 4 to put into powerpoints
    I tried using some of the presets but the quality is either awful or i get the black border.
    I seems that only the profesional edition allows you to set the frame to desktop and use a custom size.   I just can't believe that you need to spend £500 on the CS5 edition to do this? I'm not wanting to do anything clever here, just change the video size.
    Ive got a sinking feeling ive just wasted £75.

  • PPro2 best bitrates for transcoding in AME to DVD

    Hello. I have created a 165-minute movie (including 8 minutes of motion menus) to be authored with menus/chapters in TMPG Authoring Works 4.  I'm exporting from PPro2 via Adobe Media Encoder for transcoding to mp2, and have space left over due to my current bitrate settings: 1.5 minimum, 6 target, 8 maximum. The resulting master will be factory-replicated with glass master.  Audio will be transcoded to stereo AC3 only; no subtitles.
    TMPG is showing that my current movie size is 7.323GB.  I would like to increase my bitrate settings in AME for the best possible visual quality, but I've read various limit recommendations of 7, 8, or at most 9mbps for the max setting.   I will burn to Verbatim DVD+R DL which shows a usable space of 8.025GB. Can I assume that factory replicating will avoid DVD player compatability problems due to high bitrates?
    My Bit Budget Calculator v.2 gives a maximum video-only bitrate of 9.352mbps, average bitrate of 6.594, and a video-only target bitrate of 6.146.  The target number is easily doable, but I wonder if I dare boost the max to 9mbps (which Bit Budget Calculator says should not be exceeded), while keeping the minimum at 1.5
    Any advice about bitrates will be appreciated.  Thank you.

    Hi Jim et al.
    I wanted to update this thread since I figured out where my problems originated and how to solve them.  I received advice from Adobe forum, videohelp.com, and doom9.org, and I am grateful to all those who commented.
    First, Ann, my last WinXP re-installation was in 11/08.  Lacking an XP CD, it required taking my computer to a shop for hours of billable work, so I am not eager to repeat that.  My experiences since Sept.2010 suggest that my computer was not causing the various problems.
    I had been getting various artifacts in my AVI lossless encoding using Lagarith and UT.  There is a "gallery" of screenshots of these artifacts at:
    http://forum.videohelp.com/threads/326242-artifacts-created-by-Lagarith-UT-unable-to-impor t-into-HC?p=2021174#post2021174
    I attempted my same workflows in PremiereCS3, but again got artifacts.  Poisondeathray wrote: "I think this is a PP2 problem . The lagarith artifact looks very familiar - I remember reading about incompatibilities with PP2. I don't recall seeing any of these after CS4 or 5."  A thread at doom9 commented on PPro2's shortcomings:  http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=107558  This thread includes the suggestion: "I choose Microsoft AVI. Then I go to the video menu, and choose None for the codec."  But for me none of the "uncompressed" settings ever worked--the output was always gibberish.
    Through trial and error, I found that Huffyuv (version 211 only) produced no (or the fewest) artifacts.  Huffyuv 211 worked for me, so I've been using it for processing crucial movies and for archiving.
    I had been getting repeated error messages when trying to use an AviSynth script in HC-025.  MT mode was not needed in the script, after all.  Poisondeathray wrote: "If you used lagarith or UT directly from PPro2, it will be RGB and you need to convert to YV12 , if it's interlaced add interlaced=true
    Avisource("F:\Exports\CopyofMontage1.post.avi")
    ConvertToYV12()
    or
    Avisource("F:\Exports\CopyofMontage1.post.avi")
    ConvertToYV12(interlaced=true)
    The second script worked for me.  For future readers, I stress the importance of  filling-in HC's output and log names+locations before encoding, and of selecting "Make DVD compliant."  Here are the settings for my letterboxed 4:3 movie:
    Having learned how to use HC-025, I ended up not using it in my workflow.  Since I definitely wanted to use TMPG Authoring Works 4 (TAW4) for authoring, I brought three samples into it for comparison:
    1) plain AVI exported directly from PPro2 with no lossless encoding.  2) AVI with Huffyuv-211 lossless encoding.  3) AVI with Huffyuv-211 processed through HC-025.   #3 produced the least clean footage--HC added barely visible "borders" around the feet of letters in text, an artifact that was not present in #1 and #2.  Since #1 and #2 looked the same, I ended up using #2: AVI with Huffyuv-211 imported into TAW4.
    TAW4 with its onboard Intercom MPEG-Video Transcoder and its video settings probably made a great contribution to my DVD's visual quality.  TAW4's video settings are not obvious; they're at the upper left when in "Source" view.  For each Track, click Settings>Video, and make your selections.  8000 bitrate is the highest recommended by Craig Hanna at DiscMakers, with 1550 bitrate as the minimum (which answers one of my earliest questions in 9/10), and 6050 for average bitrate for my particular file size.  Then click Video Encoder Advanced Settings and choose Highest (with error correction).  Here are my settings for my 172-minute DVD-9 (grab lower-right corner and stretch image to read better):
    Thank you.  --Best regards, SamB.

  • G5 Second Display using the GeForce FX 5200 - Non-Standard

    Chipset Model: GeForce FX 5200
    Type: Display
    Bus: AGP
    Slot: SLOT-1
    VRAM (Total): 64 MB

    Core Image: Supported
    Main Display: Yes
    Mirror: Off
    Online: Yes
    Quartz Extreme: Supported
    Display:
    Status: No display connected
    I want to attach a second display to my machine, but the second plug on the card is a non-standard DVI-type connector. It looks like this:
    x x x x x x x x x x X X
    x x x x x x x x x x -----
    x x x x x x x x x x X X
    ...with 10 rows of 3 as opposed to 8.
    I have had trouble finding an adapter to use to convert this to VGA (which is what I meed to connect my second monitor). I've searched the Apple Store online to no avail, as well as Google. Perhaps I've had no luck because I don't know the name of this part.
    Any help is much appreciated!

    Hello! Does the port look like the one below? If so you'll need an adapter. Tom
    Actually, HERE is the page i was looking for that shows and describes all dvi connections.

  • Is there any standard extractor for AFD provided by SAP?

    Hi.
    We are planning to implement SEM-BCS ? From this forum and  SAP documentation( help.sap.com and service.sap.com), I just found that integration with ECC is total records(RFD) and some master data. Unfortunately, I could't  find any further integration point. AFD such as inventory balance, Gross profit etc seems to be extracted from ECC such as FI, MM or CO module. But there is no mention in SAP documentation.
    I think I missed good integration point SAP provided.
    Otherwise, We have to develop the some program to extract AFD. Is my understanding correct?
    Is there anybody who has experience to extract AFD from ECC with standard extractor or CBO program?

    The main problem with automatical load of AFD is the strict dependence on the ECC/R/3 configurations that might differ very significantly.
    So, there is no standard extractors for AFD.
    IPI - I used to figure out the ways of calculating the figures needed for IPI with non-standard functionality. And understood that even with a standard functionality the task of extracting the proper values are not esy at all.
    IPA - there are so much data that needed to be entered for IPA, plus FI-AA configuration depends on implementation...
    CoI - the most of data for it is accessible in ECC, even in RFD.
    So, forget about the standard and easy way of extracting the data needed. Try to examine the configuration of modules you are interested in, and find the ways to extract the data.

  • How To: Use FCPX to create iPhone Portrait Movies (and other non-standard formats)

    Goal: Use Final Cut Pro X 10.0.7 to produce a 640x1136 video (iPhone 5 Portrait). You can use these same steps to produce virtually any dimensions you want. My example is for the iPhone 5, in Portrait mode.
    This information is available in various places, but you have to realy work to find it, so I thought I'd post a step-by-step guide here.
    By the way, you might think you could just create a FCPX Project with your desired dimensions, but you can't (at least with 10.0.7). Projects only support certainly dimensions. But there are other ways, as the rest of this post describes:
    1) Create an initial movie with the desired dimensions, to serve as a template. We'll call it "Template.mov". The only thing that matters is the dimensions. It can be in any codec FCPX understands, and virtually any length.
    I'm using a 2 second video shot on my iPhone for the template. You could also create a blank image (.png, whatever) with the proper dimensions, copy and paste it into a new Quick Time Pro 7 window, and Export it using custom settings. There's lots of different ways to do this.
    2) Drop Template.mov into a FCPX event.
    3) Select Template.mov in the Event browser, and select File->Duplicate (or command-D). You probably could just edit "Template.mov", but it's a good idea to save it for reuse.
    3) Change the name of the copied video. I'm using "iPhone Video".
    4) Right-click "iPhone Video" and select "Open in Timeline".
    5) If you made the Template video from a still image, you may need to change the duration (ctrl+D). You don't have to make it very long, but it needs to be longer than 1 frame. A few seconds should be enough.
    6) Use this timeline like you'd use a project's timeline. Drop in new content, trim, transition, etc. There may be things you can't do in it, but I haven't found any yet. I'm guessing Chapters may not work, but I haven't tried them.
    7) Note that when you drop new content into the timeline, it may size funny. That's because the default setting for "Spacial Conform" is "Fit". Simply select the newly-dropped content, and in the Video settings inspector, scroll down to "Spacial Conform" and change it. You could use "Fill", which fills the frame vertically, or "None", which uses the source's original height. Then crop/transform/whatever to get what you want.
    8) When you're ready to render, select "iPhone Video" in the Event browser, then use the "Share" button. You want to use the "Export File" destination, which you may have to add. Pick your codec, and let 'er rip.
    9) When the rendering is done, you should have a video in your desired dimensions.
    That's all there is to it. Hope this helps someone.

    PS: Don't ask why someone would want to create an iPod video using FCPX. The point is that you may need to create a video with non-standard  dimensions at some point in time, and this is how to do it.
    PPS: Most of this information came from http://library.creativecow.net/articles/payton_t/FCPX_Custom-Resolution-Timeline s/video-tutorial. I just wrote it down, while I tried to do what the video suggested.

    Instructions for using QuickTime Pro 7 to create a template video with unusual dimensions.
    I suspect that anyone savy enough to be using FCPX has probably already figured out how to do this, either using my technique or another, so there probably isn't a real need for me to post this. For that matter, I may be the only person who cares about this at all. However, while I was trying to learn how to do all of this, I would have really appreciated having all the information in one place, so here goes.
    If you want to create a video with unusual dimensions (like 640x1136) using my steps above, you'll need a "template" video first. Here's an easy way to create one, using any image editor, and QuickTime Pro 7.
    1) Open QuickTime Pro 7 (QTP for short).
    2) From the menu, select File->New Player. You'll get a window with just the bottom portion of the player, i.e. the playback controls.
    3) Using an image editor, create a still image in the desired dimensions. You can use any image editor. It doesn't matter what the image contains (although it will end up showing as a thumbnail in FCPX).
    4) Copy the image to the clipboard.
    5) Switch back to QTP, and paste the image into the new player. Don't worry that there isn't a video window showing - just paste it into the window that has only playback controls. As soon as you do, the video window appears.
    6) Advance to the end of the movie (the short, 1-frame movie), then hold down Command+V (paste) and keep holding it down to paste multiple images in. Watch the time advance. You could, if you want, just hold down Command+V until you get the length you want. But if you want a long video, there's an easier way:
    7) When you reach a few seconds (or whatever duration your patience allows), select all (Command+A) and copy (Command+C). Then hold down Command+V to keep pasting in the longer clips. Wait until you reach a longer duration, then repeat the process. So, for example, 1 second, then 10 seconds, then 1 minute, then 10 minutes, then 1 hour. Or whatever you want.
    8) Save the video however you want. I usually use File->Export with H.264, with Quality set to "Least". Just make sure you don't let it change the dimensions. If you resized the player window, depending on which "save" or "export" method you've chosen, it might default to the resized dimensions, so double check that to make sure.
    That's it. You now have a template video you can use with my previous post(s).
