Prepping a Sequence for Web/and EXporT

Any link or answer to this- i'm preparing a 2 minute trailer for web. what are the settings necessary in final cut to prepare for the quicktime export. Also once in a quicktime format what should the export settings coming out. currently have final cut hd we want a relatively fast download time for accessing but want not to sacrifice too much quality. thanks for any help.

But...can h.264 be viewed on most computers?
No. QT7 h264 is not very well pentrated yet. All iPod/iTunes users have it but few business machines will have it. Furthermore, many larger companies don't allow employees to install it even if they need it.
For Quicktime content, I can reach the broadest audience with Sorenson 3 compression. It was introduced in QuickTime 5 a long time ago. If I want to go a bit more recent, I use the 3ivx version of MP4 compression. Download the free 3ivx plugin at 3ivx.com. This works on any computer that supports MP4 but it looks better than the Apple mp4 CODEC.
MPEG-1 is the most universal web video format, but the filesize will be about 3x bigger than anything more modern.
WMV-9 is also a popular way to post video. At the risk of being run off this forum, I'll just say that it's market pentration is vastly wider than QuickTime and the quality is comparable to MP4. I use an affordable QuickTime plugin called Popwire WMV-9 Export 1.1 to export directly to this format from Final Cut.
Also don't rule out Flash Spark video format. Users of Flash 8 Plugin can view this format and I know there are many machines with this capability. You need flash pro to do this format.

  • Artboard name and save for web or export

    Hi when saving for web or exporting an artboard is there any way to pre-populate the save file name dialog box with the artboard's given name. It would save having to re-name the file and make good use of that metadata.
    Thanks in advance

    There is a way, but you have to use file >> export >> jpg.
    Worked great for me here where I have my artboards named the flavor, and when asked for fielname used "a".

  • Trying to not save artboard when exporting or using save for web and devices

    Hello,
    I am using AI CS5 and I am trying to save a logo that is on an 8.5 x 11 artboard.  When I try to export or 'save for web and devices', I am getting the entire artboard to be saved - not just the logo like I want.  I have never had this issue in CS3, and just started using CS5 so I am not sure if there is a new feature that I need to be turning off to just save the logo instead of the entire 8.5x11 page.
    Any help is appreciated,
    Kristie

    Thanks!  It was under the object - slice.  You've saved my sanity

  • Exporting animation using Save for Web and Devices problem

    The animation plays as it should when the "Play" button is pressed at the bottom of the "Save for Web and Devices" Menu , but when I Preview it the individual frames don't disappear once they've shown , so you can see them all at the end of the animation . This is also how they save as a .gif ( although using the "Save as html" option reverts to looking as it should , each frame appearing and disappearing in turn) How do I save as gif without this happening?Many thanks for any help

  • Prep InDesign file for web

    PSCS5, Mac OS 10.6.4
    I need to prepare a book cover created in InDesign for posting with online vendors (Angus &  Roberton, Austraila and Amazon for starters). My first attempt and prepping the InD file for the web was unsuccessful. No file specs are available from either vendor. Can you help?
    The InD file is 8"x8", contains 2 PS images, 2 AI vector files, and text. The PS files are set at 350 dpi (per the print sevice bureau's specs). The book is destined for 4-color wet press. The first set of wet proofs look great, so I know I'm on track with color management, linked images, etc.
    My first approach when I tried prepping it for the web was to export the InD file to a JPEG, open it in PS, and save it as a .psd file before making any changes. After converting the color back to RGB, I resized it to 3"x3" at 72 dpi, then saved it as a JPEG with a new name.  I think the resizing and resolutoion is where I went wrong. But I'm at a loss the correct steps to follow and what settings to use for the image size and resolution.
    What is the procedure I should have followed to prep the cover to an image for the web? Here's the image exported as a JPEG at 150 dpi.
    Thanks in advance.

    Toni....
    I do print and web and often take an ID page to an image.
    What I do...
    Export Indesign as PDF. (Use any standard PDF job option you have, even PDFX1a)
    Drag PDF to Photoshop > Open as 300ppi and whatever dimensions are already present.
    If necessary, crop and flatten the image in Photoshop. (PDFx1a will need cropped and flatening will compensate for any transparency in the PDF.)
    Within Photoshop > File > Save For Web > Input image dimensions I need in the SFW dialog
    Hit Save.
    What's been posted by others is correct. There is no PPI/DPI for the web. The only thing that matters is width and height. If you want you can test this to show yourself. Create 2 images - one at 100x100 pixels and 300ppi, the other at 100x100 pixels and 72ppi. Save both images for web and then open the saved images in a browser... they are the same size and look identical.
    By Exporting to PDF from ID you get a crisp, clean PDF.
    By dragging the PDF to PS you get a crisp, clean PS image. If you export a jpg from ID then save a jpg from PS you're creating artifacts due to the re-saving of a compressed format (jpg).
    By Using Save For Web to create the final image all the superfluous image data is stripped and you get a basic, clean and crisp image at the size input in SFW.
    There are other routes you can take, but for me this five step process yields the best results in every case.

  • Save for web and devices: overlaping slices

    I use Illustrator to design UI for web and applications. In many cases, there are overlapping slices for example the icons on the toolbar: the icons are separate slices with transparent background while the toolbar is a big slice under all of them. Everytime I need to export the slices, I have to hide the background, export the icons, and then hide the icons and export the background. It may not look like a tedious task but when you have to do this cycle 50 times a day together with your product manager and marketing team to fine tune the graphic design, it's such a painful task. Unfortunately it's not always about hiding and showing only 2 layers, it can be quite complicated depending on how many elements there are on the screen.
    The problem only comes down to one question: how to export overlapping slices from different layers easier?

    Window >> Layer comps
    Set this up, and with one click you will be able to toggel whci layers are on or off.
    Out of curiosity, are you programming pages with CSS, dynamic layers or other? You cannot layer slices with transparency on top of each other in standard html. I find it so time consuming and impossible to get things registering correctly for all browsers, so try to minimize any layering technologies.

  • Save for Web and Device Grayed menu grayed out

    Using Photoshop 11.0.1 (CS4) and Mac OSX 10.5.6), I have an action that saves a retouched file first as a high quality jpg and then as a optimized jpg for the web. It has worked fine in the past, but today when running the action I received a warning that the Export command was not available. I tried manually exporting the using the Save for Web and Devices menu item, but it is grayed out and not available. The file is sized to 1024 pixels on the longest side, no layers and in 8 bit mode.
    So far I have done the following:
    Trashed the Save for Web preference file
    Repaired permissions
    Scanned for viruses
    Rebooted the system
    Any other ideas short of a reinstall?

  • Photoshop crashes when saving for web and devices

    When hitting saving for web and devices, Photoshop starts to render images but before it's done, it crashes. I get an error-popup with no text and the screen where normally the animation is shown is red. Then Windows comes with a crash report and I can only quit Photoshop.
    I have an animation of over 150 frames, but just some black and white lines, no color.
    I'm using Photoshop CS 5.5 on Win7.
    I tried deleting the preferences in AppData/Roaming etc, but no result, still crashes.
    My Photoshop is also updated to the latest version.

  • Save for Web and Devices (Illustrator style?)

    Ive used the slice tool to mark out the images for exporting
    from my Fireworks document.
    Does Fireworks have a 'Save for Web and Devices' feature like
    Illustrator does? I want to have the 4-up display where you can see
    the original image and file size in one section and use the others
    to vary the JEPG/ GIF settings to get the best combination of file
    size and image quality. I want to be able to save different
    settings for each slice (as you can do in Illustrator).
    I cant find this feature but it seems weird that a web image
    optimization program wouldn't have it. I tired opening my file with
    Illustrator and Photoshop but the slices wernt imported aswell.
    Ive got CS3, is this option in CS4?
    thanks

    FW bypasses the extra step used by PS and AI. In the main FW
    window,
    choose 4-Up. Select the slice you want to optimize and set
    your
    optimization settings via the Optimize panel. Everything bu
    the selected
    sliced will be screened back a bit, so you focus on the
    active slice. It
    will change on screen as you alter the optimize settings.
    If you want to optimize several slices using the same
    settings,
    shift+click to select them.
    When you're done, choose File > Export. Make sure to set
    Images Only as
    your Export option and in the Slices field choose Export
    Slices. If you
    want all slices exported, make sure that Export Selected
    Slices is NOT
    checked.
    If you don't want unsliced areas also exported, also make
    sure Include
    areas without slices is not checked.

  • Strange quality issues when saving for web and devices.

    Im a UI designer and spend lots of time working with illustrator and photohop. When I design I normally create vector mockps of my work and then export slices using artboards and save for web and devices. Yesterday Illustrator started having problems exporting files. The files look good on my computer, when viewed with pixel preview mode but when i export they look really bad. here is an example:
    This is a screen shot of a part of a mobile app im working on at 100 % and 200 %
    here is the same area when exported using "save for web and devices" at 100% and 200%:
    as you can see there is a dramatic loss in quality. the icons look almost like a low color gif...
    Here is what I have tried already:
    I have tried changing the settings in the exporter. I normally use png 24 but I have tried all the different settings and they all do about the same thing. the only one that seems to look ok are swf and svg.
    I have copied my files over to photoshop and exported from there. that works fine but it is a pain.
    any help would be great.

  • Photoshop CC closes or freezes when saving in save for web and devices

    Hello,
    Since I have a new laptop with Windows 8, I couldn't get Photoshop CS6 anymore, so I downloaded PS CC.
    It's working great the last days, but since yesterday PS freezes or closes everytime I try to save a .gif in save for web and devices.
    It drives me insane...
    I hope someone can help me.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Excise Invoice number for Domestic and Exports

    Hi Friends,
    MyClient is having two types of excise invoices. One is Local and another is Export.
    The local excise invoices take numbers from the local number range object J_1IEXCLOC; and even the export excise invoices take numbers from the local number range object J_1IEXCLOC.
    i.e they have the continuation of numbers for domestic and exports.
    Ex: If the domestic excise number is 091111010 then export excise invoice no is 091111011.
    They have not maintained number ranges for export range object J_1IEXCEXP(w.r.t any seriesgroup).
    And there is no tick for Use Local Number Range in Export Excise Invoice also.
    I want to know how this can be happen.
    Pl help me in this regard.

    Hi Azeez,
    Go to IMG, Tax on goods movements, India, Outgoing excise invoices, Maintain defult Excise Groups and Series Groups.
    Here check the Sales Area, shipping point, plant, Excise group and Series group determination. It is here that you defferentiate for which series group you are using which sales area and plant. Once you identify this, go to T code J1i9, give the valid object and check the number range assigned to the series group.
    Thanks

    OK guys....I had this problem for the longest time & Whenever I tried to use "save to web" feature, I would get the same error.... after a lot of research & finally found a resolution.....
    I wanted to take this opportunity to share the resolution why this feature was not working properly....
    Here is the link where you will find what the problem was...
    http://www.techsupportforum.com/microsoft-support/windows-vista-window s-7-support/235245-solved-error-1324-when-installing-applications.html
    Basically, go to this registry location:

  • When I save for web and device in Illustrator, I see all the pixels... What is wrong?

    I have created a vector image. When I save for web and device in Illustrator, the image does not come out clear even if I'm saving the image the same size as the artboard. I can see the coutours (pixels)... I've opened the file on another computer and everything is perfect. What is wrong on my computer?
    I have reinstalled the program and did all the updates. What else can I try?
    Thank you!

    So that you know next time that option is no longer available so to speack it is now under a dropdown wiht the default none then Type Optimized or Art Optimized in CS 5 and operhaps CS 4 as well
