Photos too big for Flash, what can I do?

Hi,
I have tried all the different Formats of Photo and bringing them into Flash, but they are still too big, causing Flash to crash and meaning I am unable to upload my website to my server. I think i remember being told you could use a preloader. But still being quite new at Flash don't know how to being.
Or is there another way anyone can think of?
Please Help, client waiting!
Cheers
Tom

Hi,
I think what you need to do is bring your image into Photoshop. Select > Image Size > Choose 72 PPI which is a good size for the internet. Now go to File> Save For Web. In there it will give you options on how to optimize your image for the web. Just save it as a Jpeg if you want and then import into Flash library.
Hope this helps!

  • Photos too big for desktop

    I could always just choose a photo to use as a desktop and it would work fine. Now they all seem to display at full resolution meaning that I only get a small segment of the picture. I have tried cropping to the display dimensions but it is still too big. What can I do? This is on my Macbook 2.16.

  • Is 3500 across photo too big for a 1920x1080 show?

    I am in a crunch.  Thank you.  I am getting out of memory and renders are very slow. Couple oz dozen photos, some are just 2000 x1800.  Seven minute show.  Green screen.

    A woman had written to Larry Jordan to dispute this issue.  In the end he agrees (kind of).   My wife says if she scanned anything at 72dpi it would look awful.
    This tiff (pun intended) will go on for a while, I suppose, but this from you is incorrect:
    “One of the confusing concepts with using still images for video is understanding the DPI just doesn’t matter. It is the total pixels across by the total pixels down that is important.”
    It’s more than semantics. Dots Per Inch is indeed part of the analog world of print, but you gloss by the crucial connection to video: DPI is what producers and editors must deal with in getting images into their systems. Without a DPI setting offered by your scanning software, and an effective way to leverage it for specific image formats, you simply can’t scan flat art effectively to support zooms which remain sharp at the close end, or, for that matter, images which are sharp at full frame. No scanner plugin that I know of offers “PPI” as a setting. Scanners deal with DPI, and so must we. That matters very much.
    DPI is the analog equivalent to video PPI, pixels per inch, a close representation of the analog scan when related to a specific frame size and its pixel requirements. To say that DPI is irrelevant to video in this context is just plain inaccurate.
    Although your pixel wisdom is of course correct, your approach doesn’t address the real world connection, and needs of producers with tons of analog photos and documents to scan. I developed the ScanGuide Pro system to employ the connection between DPI and PPI for myself, now  in use by hundreds of folks in post who are very satisfied with its results. So maybe it’s time to make the proper connection between the two terms rather than thowing the baby out with the bathwater?
    Larry replies:
    Loren, you are correct. It is wrong to say that DPI doesn’t matter. However, my point, which I will clarify later in this issue, is that regardless of the DPI you set for the file, video looks at the total number of pixels in the image, rather than the DPI number, to determine image size and shape. As you know, further muddying the waters is that computers assume that pixels are square, while video treats them as a never-ending variety of rectangles.

  • 970 Gaming - BIOS resolution too big for screen so can't use it, help!

    My specs, Windows 7 SP1
    MSI 970 Gaming MB
    AMD FX-6350
    ASUS Radeon HD6950
    G Skill DDR3 RAM (16gb at 1600mhz)
    1TB Sata HD
    Everything else display related works fine, windows, games, videos, etc. and as this is a new build, yes all the drivers are upto date. However, I can't use the BIOS as it displays as if its four times the screens size!
    I've taken a pic to illustrate the point and attached it,
    And here is of course, what it should look like for comparison,
    As you can see, not only is the res' totally wrong, but some graphical elements are not displaying properly, like the lack of the red border, button surrounds on the left, boot devices missing, etc. Any ideas please?

    Not every TV acts the same unfortunately.
    My one samsung LCD TV looked better using a VGA cable than HDMI (no idea why, it just did), meanwhile the next Samsung LED TV I got looked much better with HDMI but had strange issues whenever I went into the BIOS (this was from a laptop though).
    Expecting a company to solve a problem with a TV that doesn't properly implement the HDMI spec is a bit ridiculous to be honest.

  • I have my iTunes library on an external HD because it is too big for my iMAC 500GB HD. I want to backup my external HD. Can I do this with any Apple cloud product or should I look elsewhere? Also is it worth just buying another external HD to back up

    I have my iTunes library on an external HD because it is too big for my iMAC 500GB HD. However, it is not backed up, so I need a solution to backup my external HD. Can I do this with any Apple cloud product or should I look elsewhere for cloud products? Will it be cheaper/easier just to buy another external HD to back up my existing external HD? Thanks

    I don't know if this is me adding files to iTunes when the external wasn't connected
    it is.
    is it OK to just keep deleting that library on the Air?
    i wouldn't - at least not until i
    mount the external
    point iTunes media folder location back to the external via preferences > advanced
    consolidate my library via file > library > organize library
    The ntfs hasn't seem to be causing any problems, but I've always wanted to know.
    in order for your Mac to write to NTFS drives, it needs some help by installing e.g. the NTFS 3G driver. apparently that or something similar is installed on your Mac already. preferably, it would be formatted for Mac but then windows machines would need to have e.g. MacDrive installed to recognize the drive.

  • Why are some photos on camera roll but not in photo stream. Unable to backup as camera roll size is too big for free 5gb.

    Why are some photos on camera roll but not in photo stream. Unable to backup as camera roll size is too big for free 5gb.

    I assume you have Photostream on, correct?
    In order for the photos to be moved into Photostream, you must exit the camera app, and be on a wifi connection.  Both of these criteria must be met before the sync occurs.

  • When I open my iPad the page is too big for the screen and won't shrink down. The keypad has also become very 'sticky'

    Recently when I open any apps the pages are too big for the screen. They shrink when pinched but immediately become bigger again. It's very difficult to scroll too. The keypad has become very sticky. Missing letters and spaces when I type and needing to tap the keys much harder than usual

    I have the exact same problem, I think.  I was on my iPad 3's home page swiping R-L to locate a certain icon when all of a sudden the screen appeared to get HUGE.  So big I could only see one or two icons.  I couldn't even turn it off to try a reboot because after I pushed the sleep/wake button, I couldn't find the red slide bar.  I finally just had to wait for the battery to die, then recharge it, and it looked normal again.  I also spoke with several friends who haven either iPads or iPhones, and they've all had this happen to them.  I checked my accessibility settings, and Zoom was already off.  So what is causing this problem for so many people, and what can we do to prevent it?  Please help.

  • Scanned doc now too big for print

    Hi,
    I have scanned this sheet and modified it, now i need to print it back but photoshop says its too big for print.
    Indeed it just printed a portion of it.
    Can someone with experience of this kind of issue explain me the technicalities and what should i do?
    I know photoshop only when it comes to chop pictures, put loads of filters and make them jolly, i am not into stuffs like scan/sizing/printing, etc.,  so please don't explain to go down to the basic basics in your explanation.
    Thanks

    Well, when you say "Manufacturer's software" I assume you mean the scanner's software and NOT Photoshop.  It is best to scan directly into Photoshop by using the menu File>Acquire Image>[select your scanner source--either the scanner name or TWAIN driver].  When this is chosen your scanner's driver will launch a "plug-in" software interface that will allow you to scan the document and set a marquee around what you want to scan and also choose the resolution.  After that you will be able to save the document -- give it a unique name like "file.psd" -- and then make changes -- again give it a unique name like "file_edited.psd".   The document measurements you gave us seem to fit within the bounds of a United States (US) Letter size document which is 8.5 inches x 11 inches.  If your printer has the ability to print borderless documents you should be able to print this document without a problem with a resolution of 300dpi.  It is possible that it would not be able to if there is not enough memory on your printer and that is why you get the error message.  (But as a JPG image the file size will be compressed, so I'm not really sure why your document would be too large.)

  • ODI-40406: Bytes are too big for array

    I am getting the following error: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: ODI-40406: Bytes are too big for array
    I am trying to a file to file mapping and all of my columns match in size. Does anyone have any ideas what this problem could be? I am getting an error when it tries to perform an integration step while trying to create the target table. I am assuming it is something wrong with one of my datastores
    Edited by: 897642 on Nov 16, 2011 5:19 PM

    There is a possibility of mismatch of datatype, that can cause the problem.
    Say in ODI model, you have defined a 'Date type' field to be stored as 'String' however at the time of mapping in 'Interface', no conversion happens (from date to string)  for this particular object. This causes the problem.
    The original query remains valid at DB side (fires for datetype) however fails while integrating. Therefore the best way would be to apply conversion for that particular field (in this case, use TO_CHAR(Date type,'Desired Date Format').

  • The size of my exported FCP movie is too big for DVD studio pro

    Hey,
    I have been editing for 4-5 years now and have never had a problem with size of a project to put into DVD Studio Pro to burn. However, I just finished a 2 hour project in which exported as a FCP movie it is 23.97 gb in size. When i put this into DVD Studio Pro it makes it 4.8gb in size which just makes it too big for it to burn. I have tried changing the compression to no avail and just now decided to clean up the timeline so everything is on one track with nothing overlapping. (The problem was it was a 2 camera shoot so the first camera i had on the bottom track constant with the second camera on the top track when i needed it but still with the first camera underneath.) Do you think this could be the solution to my problem? If you guys could help me out it would be most appreciated!

    some things don't make sense here. please clarify.
    Standard DV is roughly 5 minutes per gig, so that means that you have just about 2 hours of video, ok, got that. Now it's the two track thing that gets me.
    Are you saying you have 4 hours of footage, the same thing from two cameras, and you're trying to set up a multi-angle DVD?
    If it's just that you used two video tracks to edit, then NO, it is not your problem. It's still only 2 hours, the video will be mixed down to one track upon export from FCP to quicktime.
    My suggestion is, instead of bringing a quicktime file directly into DVDSP, use compressor. I believe they have a preset in compressor 2 for a standard 120 minute DVD. IF you're project is truly less than 120 minutes, than that should be fine. If not, then you may have to manually make your own setting and lower the bitrate.
    So the workflow is:
    -open sequence in fcp
    -file>export>quicktime movie... (you can uncheck "make movie self-contained" if you want it to export faster and you plan on keeping your original capture footage around)
    -export your movie to a directory of your choice with a name of your choice.
    -open compressor (in applications)
    -drag the quicktime file you created into compressors main window, this will set it up. Now specify the export setting (120 minute HQ all files either 16x9 or 4x3 dep. on project) and specify a location for the files to be created. I strongly suggest that you use the HQ (High quality) settings in compressor. It's much slower to process, but much better quality.
    -with a 2 hour movie it should take a really REALLY long time to compress, so I'de say do it over night.
    -when compressor is done, you should have 2 or three files. a .m2v file a .aif file, and a .ac3 file. The .aif is your PCM audio, much better quality than the .ac3, which is dolby 2 channel. However, the .ac3 is a much smaller file with a lower bit rate, so if the .aif makes the DVD file size too big, you can switch it out for the .ac3
    -Finally, open up your DVDSP project, drag the .m2v, .aif, and .ac3 into DVDSP and use the .m2v for the video track and either the .aif or .ac3 as the audio (as mentioned above)
    -the good news is, your DVD media is already rendered, so when you go to build your DVD it will go much, much faster!
    By the way, I recommend you go to file>advanced>build do not do a burn and build.
    I find it best to build the VIDEO_TS folder on a hard drive and then use a program like toast to create a DVD (using toasts from VIDEO_TS option). This method also allows you to go back into DVDSP, make tweaks, and reuse your VIDEO_TS folder, not having to rebuild the whole thing each time.
    Remember, 120 minutes on a single layer DVD is going to render fairly low quality no matter what.
    If you have a newer mac and a dual layer drive, you may want to cough up a few bucks and get a dual layer DVD-R, then you have over 8 gigs of space to work with, perfect for HQ 2 hour footage.

  • Best Quality too big for DVD. need help

    Hi,
    I just completed a movie using iMovie. I compressed the movie as a Quicktime file at best quality and it is 6gb. I understand that this is too big for the 4.7gb dvd-r's i have.
    I wanted to know the best way to get my movie to fit while still mainting the best possible quality. This project is very important and i need it to be able to play on a home dvd player tomorrow.
    I'm using iDVD.
    Can somebody please help me out.
    Thank you so much

    Hi Karl,
    first of all: on this forum, my guess is, you are the one with the deepest insight in iMovie (one word: corrupted projects... oops, that was two).
    BUT...
    My job for more then 20 years is communication, advertisement as an example. make the message in less then 8 words...
    Apples says: 60/120 minutes of an iM project fit on a dvd-r.Full stop.
    that is from my p.o.v crystal-clear..HOW is this done? easy: make project, click "iDVD" - BOOM! done... to quote the CEO of a small computer company...
    people buy cars without ANY idea, what ABS, EPS, etc is, besides HOW it works. they use it. full stop. anyone any idea, what happens, when you push the pedal...? ... when the car DOESN'T accelerate, you realize, you have NO clue...-
    funny enough, this forum is CROWDED with people, who don't own a driver's license, but try to explain, the car manufacturer has done big bugs, lots of mistakes, should fix that & this.- you CAN use a car, to boil eggs, iron your shirts and create a painting... but THAT would need a better understanding of how a car works.
    topics which are/can not understood lead to what the behaviorism calls "superstitious behavior" - you do some really weird things, because you believe it has any effect....
    so, sometimes, less knowledge leeds to better results
    (from a communicator's point of view)
    I agree, maybe the "help" files should offer an "expert" mode....

  • Sharp 26 inch HDTV too big for TiBook?

    I have a Sharp 26 inch LCD HDTV. I am running DVI output from the 667 TiBook into the HDMI video input. It works OK, but the margins of the video are hidden under the edges of the LCD. So for example, I can only see about 1/4 of the Dock because the rest is hidden. As a result, I can only run it as a second monitor.
    What's causing it? Is the screen too big for the TiBook's video driver?

    http://support.apple.com/specs/macbook/macbookmid2007.html
    "...Extended desktop and video mirroring: Simultaneously supports full native resolution on the built-in display and up to 1920 by 1200 pixels on an external display, both at millions of colors..."
    What is the max resolution of the HDTV? You should consider the Apple mini-DVI to DVI adapter and use a DVI-HDMI cable if your HDTV has an HDMI or DVI input, generally the digital signal might be better quality than the VGA analog signal.
    You want to be able to match the native resolution of the monitor for best quality. When you use a different resolution, it may be supported but not appear as sharp. It might be hard to get good text quality on that large a monitor, but images and video might work okay.
    If you want, you can also run an audio cable from the MacBook lineout to use the TV or your stereo speakers.

  • 15 minute, 400 meg project too big for one DVD?

    I have a 15 minute video in widescreen format that is about 400 megabytes in size according to the project info.
    When attempting to burn, I am told that the project size is too big for a DVD and suggests I use a dual layer DVD.
    I have over 390 gig available on my 1 TB hard drive.
    I have no chapter markers
    I have reduced the intro clip(s) to less than 30 seconds.
    All to no avail. I am now burning the dvd using Toast, which is perfectly happy using 400 megabytes of my DVD to burn the disk.
    What assets could iDVD possibly be adding to use up the remaining 4 gig of disk space, and how might I view them and delete them?
    I know this is an old topic...I've read lots of posts including one similar to mine. In most cases people are attempting to burn over 1 hour of video. In the one case similar to mine, the person had full length video in each chapter marker (or some such issue). I have none.
    In my case it is a 15 minute video (granted its in HD/widescreen format). Why, with a project size well under the disc size, does it refuse to burn due to size limits? Clearly the project info does not reflect iDVD's actual size requirements for the project.
    Why not?
    Finally, changing to 4x3 is not an option and yes, I have tried changing the compression algorithm from best performance to higher quality, though this is supposedly for video longer than 60 minutes.

    Hi
    Free space only referes to Start-up (boot) hard disk. iDVD can't use any other for scratch files.
    25Gb is my minimum setting.
    15 minutes video - to much indicates that it might have been droped it into iDVD window
    but here landed it into a "button area" - not movie area.
    Recommendation in case of this is to move it out (or start a new iDVD project)
    and in iDVD use the Import function instead. Now it lands where it should.
    And dep on Your encoding choise the movie can be up to 60 or 120 minutes long
    (menu included => simple menu = more movie)
    Other alternative is feeding iDVD strange video formats that can give many
    interesting problems eg .wmv, .avi, .mpeg4 etc.

  • Time machine backup too big for empty disk??

    So I restart my MacBook Pro a few minutes after completing a full Time Machine backup.  When it restarts it goes through the grey startup screen, then gets stuck on the blue screen just  before the desktop normally appears. This happens whenever I startup. I am still able to hit the power button and get the Restart/Shut Down dialog, so I restart using my Snow Leopard boot disk, run Disk Utility, repair permissions, and repair disk, but the problem still remains. I decide to Restore from Time Machine Backup, so I erase my disk (80 GB, had only 200 MB free), go to the Restore screen and connect my backup disk. Now the weird part -- it says my latest backup is too big for the disk, even though i just erased everything, and 74.2 GB show as free. All my previous backups seem to fit fine, but apparently the last time Time Machine backed up more from my disk than can fit on my disk! It seems having a hard disk close to full is enough to render a backup effectively useless.  Guess I'll have to restore from a previous backup, then manually copy the newer files. Just wanted to alert others to this insane problem, so it doesn't happen to them.

    (80 GB, had only 200 MB free)
    That's likely corrupted your system. You should have a minimum of 10% - 15% free at all times. That's almost certainly why it wouldn't restart.
    even though i just erased everything, and 74.2 GB show as free.
    There must be something else on the drive; if you erase it, it should have just under 80 GB free. Is there another partition?
    Did you erase with a Leopard Install disc or a Snow Leopard disc? If you used a Leopard disc, that might explain showing only 74.2 GB free (it counts differently).
    If so, use your +Snow Leopard+ install disc to do a complete reformat, and try to restore the backup. A Leopard disc cannot restore a Snow Leopard backup. Even the Snow Leopard disc may not work, as it's just too full and/or your system was damaged by getting too full.
    All my previous backups seem to fit fine, but apparently the last time Time Machine backed up more from my disk than can fit on my disk! It seems having a hard disk close to full is enough to render a backup effectively useless.
    Having an OSX drive that full will make your Mac extremely sluggish, cause data corruption and/or loss, apps to crash, etc.
     Guess I'll have to restore from a previous backup, then manually copy the newer files. Just wanted to alert others to this insane problem, so it doesn't happen to them.
    If you can get your Mac running, you need to make several GBs of space immediately.
    If all else fails, reformat the internal HD and install OSX from your Snow Leopard Install disc, then use +Setup Assistant+ after the Welcome video to transfer +*most, but not all+* of your stuff from the backup. Omit the contents of one or more large sub-folders in a home folder (such as Photos, Music, or Movies).

  • "[Filename]" is too big for the trash. Would you like to delete it permanently?

    Recently, when I delete files, I am getting a message stating, ""[Filename]" is too big for the trash. Would you like to delete it permanently?". This recently started showing up for no reason and in the past I have deleted files significantly bigger and not recieved this message. Any ideas why this is showing up and how I can stop it from happening?
    For reference, I have a 768GB SSD with approximately 470GB of space available so space is not the issue.

    nbar, it seems that this trash issue is a reoccuring issue and that it is resetting itself. I followed the article that provided a link to, but after following the steps and finding success, it started doing it again.
    If anyone has any idea on what might be causing this issue, it would be greatly appreciated...not a life or death situation...just really annoying.
