Posting slideshow  to video.google--size matters

I posted earlier about compressing a wmv file I had created to email and decided just to post it to video.google.
So I posted a slideshow to video.google but no matter what I do, I can't make it "full screen." See here: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=874330041612533639&q=Navy+homecoming
I'm not sure what is needed so here are the particulars: Windows XP, PSE5.0, and Organizer. I created all images as 800x600 at 72 dpi, layering the photos onto black pages. I had a couple scans and zooms. Again, the base "page" was 800x600 and I scanned and zoomed within that.
I output it as a wmv file at 640x480 and then uploaded it to video.google. And I don't get full screen
Has anyone had any experience with video.google and know what I'm doing wrong?

Hi Barb,
I was a little rushed when I wrote my first reply, I had to go to the
dentist. I'm back from the appointment and did a little more research on
Google Video.
It looks like things are a bit more complicated. Like YouTube and other
video services, GoogleVideo re-encodes the uploaded videos. When you play
back on the web in a browser, you're seeing a flash movie. In addition, you
can download it, and that seems to give you a mp4 for ipods or gvp/gvi
(custom avi format for use with the google player) for computer viewing.
The issue is the re-encoding. I don't know what Google is doing with the
video. At the very least, they are converting to different formats and
codec than the original (flash, mp4, and gvi). They also appear to be
resizing the video to a standard frame size. I didn't try the Google Player
download, but the embeded source for the web page seems to say that the
flash movie is 400x326. So, it doesn't look like John will be able to
benefit from a higher resolution wmv as far as GoogleVideo is concerned. In
fact, it could even make it look worse depending on how the resizing is
accomplished. A higher resolution wmv will certainly look better on a
computer. And, the resolution he has will be fine for viewing on a standard
TV.
I don't upload to GoogleVideo so I'm not familiar with the process or the
requirements.
John's choices for resolution are very reasonable if his main intent is for
viewing on a conventional TV. (NTSC resolution is 720x480 pixels but the
pixel aspect ratio is 0.9 -- this is equivalent to 640x480 square pixels)
In general, you'll want to resize the images to close to your intended
resolution before you make the slideshow with the exception of frames that
will be panned and zoomed which will need to be larger. Resizing in
Elements or Photoshop is generally better than what you would get scaling in
PE 3, for example, and using full sized 6mb images, for example, can result
in very long render times and may cause other problems if processed in a
video editor such as PE 3.

  • Can you output iphoto slideshows in video formats?

    Can you output iphoto slideshows in video formats?  If so, which video formats?  Is output in H.264 format with 4:3 aspect ratio possible?  Thanks.

    If you set the aspect ratio to 4:3 in iPhoto
    you can use the Export button at the bottom of the slideshow window and pick one of the sizes you'd like.
    That will give you this format:
    If you want to do more customization of the output follow Terence's export method.

  • How do I create a title whose size matches my video frame size?

    How do I create a 1920x1080 title?
    I'm using Premiere Pro CS4 on Windows 7.  I created a default title.  If I right-click on the title in the Project Explorer and select properties, it says:
      Title Size: 720 x 480
      Pixel Depth: 32
      Pixel Aspect Ratio: 0.9091
    If I drag this title onto a sequence onto a sequence created from the "AVHCD 1080i30 (60i)" preset then the title is automagically scaled to try to get it to fit into the 1920x1080 frame, resulting in a tiny title centered in the frame.  I can make things better by right-clicking the title in the timeline and selecting "Scale to frame size", but that's not a particularly elegant solution (and the title, as displayed in the title editor, still doesn't exactly match the title displayed in the previous monitor).
    How do I create and edit a title whose size matches my video frame size?

    Thanks guys!  I created the first title in a 640x480 sequence and didn't notice that I had the option to fiddle with the frame size when I created it.  Subsequently, I created new titles by duplicating a previously created title (which I had set up with desired font, effects, etc.) and just changing the title text in the title designer.  This worked great as long as I was making titles for a 640x480 sequence.  But when I tried to use a copy of this title in a different sized sequence then things got weird on me.  I spent way too long trying to find the option to resize the title before I finally gave up and decided to spend the time to figure out how to post a question in this forum.
    Just to verify how things work, I verified that the size of a new title does, indeed, default to the size of the currently selected sequence.  No idea what would happen if I had multiple sequences displayed simultaneously.
    Any idea how to change the size of an existing title?

  • Determining Video Pixel Size from Still Pixel Sizes

    Hello
    I posted a few questions here in regard to establshing good Pixel Sizes in stills for use in FCE.
    Tom, and Studio X were very helpful, and I picked up a few pointers.
    One thing I still didn't grasp completley was how to determine (perhaps from a simple formula), what the Video Pixel Size would be from a photo's pixel size.
    As Tom pointed out:
    "A 2400x3000 pixel image may be perfectly adequate and not produce as many imaging problems when scaled in a video application"
    And as I discovered in regard to print size:
    "An 8" x 10" document that is scanned at 300 dpi has the pixel dimensions of 2,400 pixels (8" x 300 dpi) by 3,000 pixels (10" x 300 dpi).
    So then all this being said, is there a way to easily determine what the Video Pixel Size will be from the given Pixel dimensions of a still image?
    (Like from a re-sized Tiff in Photoshop)
    My version of Photoshop doesn't seem to have that conversion option for determining NTSC Video image quality.
    Thanx
    Mike

    And if I need to zoom in really tight to a small area in a particular still, I should allow myself an image size a bit larger than 1280x720. Correct?< </div>
    If only it was that easy. The video screen is roughly 800 by 500 pixels. That's all there are. If you bring in a 1600x1000 JPEG (might want to try TIFF instead) and you wish to see the whole image, it will be scaled down to 25% to fit onto the small screen and all of your pixels will be thrown away or mashed together. It's terribly inefficient and the image gets mushily softened.
    If you need to zoom in to a particular spot on the image, imagine that spot as filling the 800x500 pixel screen. You can use a simple ruler and measure the area you wish to be full screen (without any scaling being applied by FCP because that will destroy your image). Now measure the largest part of the image that you want to be on screen at any one time when zoomed all the way out. The ratio of those two numbers is what you will need to scan. Example (highly simplified don't try to argue about the precision) if your big image is 10x8 inches and your desired tight shot is 4x3 inches, you must provide a TIFF that is 2.5 or 2.75 times the size of the tightest area. That tight area is going to be 800x500 pixels. You will scan the 10x8 image to obtain a TIFF that is almost 2.5 times 800 pixels wide or 2000 pixels, by 2.5 times 500 pixels high or 1250 pixels. Do not bother to convert that into DPI. You are targeting an image size measured in pixels. It's got nothing to do with the size of the original image or the DPI. Repeating: Absolutely nothing.
    This will give you an image into which you can zoom and suffer no image degradation. It will also give you a tremendous processing hit. FCP just doesn't like to do that kind of scaling.
    Umm, doesn't look like I helped much. This issue is highly misunderstood and it's quite confusing if you come from a Photoshop background. giving up concepts like DPI is almost impossible. The only way to get it is to work through the many options Photoshop and video people offer up and try to figure out why some of them don't work for you.

  • What is meant by "Video Sample Size = 24 bit"?

    In the video properties for a XVID file you can see "Video Sample Size 24 bit" included with bitrate, frame size, but "file size in MB or GB" omitted.
    What is this Video Sample Size? Is it the same as "bit depth, also known as color depth" that relates to the number of bits used to represent the color of a single pixel in an image?
    I know how to calculate/estimate the file size of a single image from bit depth information such as 12 bit, 24 bit and frame size, but can you calculate the file size of a video from it frame size, bit depth? Question is based on Video Sample Size really being equal to bit depth.

    Yesterday seems to have been a bad day for the Adobe fora. I had three very similar instances of what Tony experienced. I'd be reading/posting in the Premiere CS3 forum, and when I'd hit Post, after the screen came back, I'd be in the CS2 forum, and that's where my post would appear. Similar behavior in several other Adobe fora too.
    Some of the screen displays got very wonky, and I had one of those today. When I went to open an article in one of the fora, there was one reply. I posted to that, and when the screen came back, about 8 replies displayed! All were from days before, but had not shown up, until I posted.
    I might have helped Tony out in the forum that he intended to post to. Maybe Jeff, or someone can clean up a bit. I think there will be a lot of this, and I'm not sure it's working smoothly yet.

  • Detector size matters, right?

    This may be a dumb question, but here goes.  I assume that detector size matters, right?
    For example, I have an APS-C camera (Canon 450D).  Presumably, if I post a lens profile for a 35mm full-frame lens (e.g. Canon EF 50mm /1.8 II) it is not appropriate to apply this profile to a 35mm full-frame camera such as the Canon EOS-1D Mark IV?  It seems this must be so since my APS-C sensor can't detect what's going on at the edge of a 35mm full-frame.
    But I'm not so sure about the other way around. If I apply a corrections from a lens profile that was generated on a full-frame detector to images that I took with the same lens on an APS-C detector, is the software smart enough to only use the middle part of the full-frame field?  Or am I get "corrections" for distortions that are outside of the APS-C field?

    Thanks Simon!
    Is there any process for filtering out lens profiles by detector size?
    For example, if I upload a profile for a Canon EF lens using an APS-C camera body, how does someone with a full-frame body avoid using this profile?
    Do I only have access to profiles made on the same detector?  or same camera body (seems too restrictive so I imagine not)?

  • Hd webcam c525 will not post on a video blog

    my new videos from logitech camera "HD Webcam C525" will not post on a video blog website.
    -I've tried every which way: google, ie & firefox, no luck getting my video from hd webcam c525 to show on www.slvlogs.com -a video blog.
    So i did a lot on firefox, remove flashplayer (or shockplayer) and vlc then reinstall them ---- download lots of things and etc. - now i'm able to record my video!!!!! But then i hit a "publish" button it's gone - didn't post at all (for replying or add video comment). :(
    However, youtube works fine: i film myself and upload it on youtube then post it on www.slvlogs.com -just fine for new posts only. Sad part is that i can't reply or leave (add) a video comment.
    Please help?

    So I am hearing two issues, that the publish button disappeared and that you cannot add new comments to an embedded video.
    It looks like on the site you must be logged in to make a comment: "Log in to Reply"
    As for the publish button, please try these troubleshooting steps: [[Websites look wrong or appear differently than they should]]

  • Video file size in Zen Moz

    I recently bought a Zen Mozaic and I've stored some avi movies in it. As avi videos can take many disc space ( up to 700 MB) I tried to shrink the video size (by lowering the resolution). Although in my computer, these files have shrunken in size, when I converted them to my Zen, they still take as many disc space as the original files.
    Is there any way I can shrink avi video file size in my Zen Mozaic?

    Try changing the files to wmv format , it worked for me .....

  • Video screen size bigger than the default

    I´ve set the mycam._width = 320 and so on...
    but pixelate..
    Any help is valid

    You need to use the setMode method of the camera class.

  • Can I reduce video file size on iPad?

    Is there an iOS app - iMovie for instance - that will allow me to reduce video file size on my iPad, without having to use a computer?

    There are various Apps in the App Store that will compress a video file, try search on Video Slimmer or Video Compression.  Another option is to use a different App for recording the video in the first place; I use MoviePro quite extensively, it allows 5 different presets for resolution, bit rate etc. for recording video.

  • Video Podcast Size/Length Limit for iPhone?

    Hi;
    I have subscribed to the "Programming Paradigms" video podcast from Stanford University available through iTunes freely [1].
    The lesson's download to the Mac fine and play on it, but when i sync them to my 1st generation iPhone (v2.1) only the first episode works as expected and other lessons plays without a video (only audio).
    I realize first lesson's length is smaller (17 min. versus 40+ min.) than others, is there a video podcast  size or time limit for iPhone exists and if so how can i bypass these limits?
    [1] http://deimos3.apple.com/WebObjects/Core.woa/Browse/itunes.stanford.edu.16173481 11.01617348114
    Thanks,

    The standard itself doesn't have these limitations, but each "device" may have it's own limitations that you need to be wary of. For example, I can encode an .mp4 video file that will play back fine on a Playstation 3, but, due to it's bitrate, will not play back on an iPod.
    However, any app on a computer that is listed as being able to playback MPEG-4 content will recognize it as such and play it back.
