Quicktime Export for iWeb

Last year I ran Quicktime Pro and flip4mac to open a WMV file and export it to a small format that I could quickly place in iWeb.
I tried it this year using the new QuickTime...and I don't see an export option.
I tried "save as" and "Save for web" option but could not figure out where to go from there.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Phil

If by "new QuickTime", you are referring to QuickTime X Player in Snow Leopard, you will need to use QuickTime 7 Player, which should be in your Applications/Utilities folder if you installed SL as an upgrade to your 10.5 installation. QuickTime X Player does not, at least at this time, have much in the way of export options.

Iphoto slideshow exported for iweb viewed by windows

I have been trying to publish an iphoto slideshow that I had exported as a movie for weeks. My mac people can see it, my PC family members cannot! I tried to make it small for the web, changed the filename to mp4 from mpv4, but PC people still could not see it. So I tried to put the slideshow movie in as a huge .mpeg and it disappeared. ( I had made an avi file but it looked horrible so used the equally as large but better ,mpeg)
I am getting the idea that it can only be done with imovie! Is than an authoritative step by step on iphoto 08,quicktime pro, and Iweb so I can put all these things together?

Don't use the Finder to change the file extension. Not only is it folly but it breaks the links used in your iWeb page code.
Don't use AVI. It is a dead container discontinued by its authors (Microsoft) years ago.
Don't use MPEG-1 (1991 format).
Default exports from iPhoto to QuickTime formats use the newer H.264 video codec which requires any machine (Mac or PC) have QuickTime version 7 installed. If they can't install version 7 they can't view your file.

Proper way to export for iWeb usage

I'm trying to get my short film or even a trailer of it into iWeb. The film itself is about 12 mins and the .mov file created when I exported it as a Quicktime movie is 670MB. I shortened it down to about a minute trailer. The corresponding .mov files for Quicktime export and Quicktime conversion were about 187MB and 65MB respectively. It seems that for iWeb to play the film it needs to be a mere 10MB. Sure enough the film stutters and stops and is unwatchable. Suggestions? Thanks. Fred

Try this work flow.
Export using quicktime conversion, change the settings to match these.
Compression Type = H.264
Frame Rate = Current
Key Frame = 24
Frame Reorder = yes
Data Rate = Restrict bit rate to 1500 kbits/sec (this is important for web videos, keeps the file sizes small, while still maintaining, video quality)
Quality = High
Encoding = Best (multi-pass)
Dimensions = 853x480 (I shoot in HD 1080, and have found that on the web, 853x480 looks best, if you need other dimensions you can pick one of the presets that suits you video or experiment till you find what looks best)
Sound ACC, 48.000khz, stereo, bit rate 128kbps
Prepare for internet streaming = Fast Start
This should reduce your files to a manageable size. The iWeb 10MB warning is just that, a warning. I have several videos on my site that are 100mb and larger. I build on iWeb and upload to a third party FTP server. Feel free to check out my results at
www.karma180.com
A bit of info about youTube. As I understand it, the current upload limits for youTube are;
Video Length = 10 Minutes
File Size = 1 gig
Youtube uses their own compression, so send them the highest quality file you can, they prefer these Video Formats: H.264, MPEG-2 or MPEG-4
So stay under 10 minutes and try to export a big file thats under 1 gig and your videos will look spectacular on You Tube.
Ok, I hope that helps. Good Luck

Optimizing Quicktime Movies for iWeb 08- HOW?

Hello,
Question about converting a movie I made for my web site uploading to my .Mac account - using iWeb 08.
When the full quality movie is open in Quicktime Pro, and you click on export for web, you get this info box saying this:
In the same folder as this instructional HTML file, QuickTime Pro has placed various versions of your movie optimized for web-delivery. Also in that folder is a reference movie, which selects the best version for your users' various devices and connection speeds. By including this reference movie in your HTML page, you can ensure a quality video experience on your site.
THEN IT GOES ON TO SAY...
Use the following HTML code to embed your movie into your web page.
Important Notes:
•To make your media viewable on the internet, your media assets (movies, poster image) must be placed on a publicly accessable server.
•The URL parameters must be modified if your media assets are served from a different location than your web page.
•The movie URL parameters must always point to the reference movie (Fluid-Cam Test.mov) rather than a source movie.
•The reference movie must be kept in the same folder as the source movies.
•Source movie names cannot be changed, but you can change the name of the reference movie (remember to change it in the HTML code as well).
•Please note, to properly validate as XHTML, the <style> tag and the first <script> tag should be placed within your page's <head> tag.
•Use this code in the <head> of your web page:
(AND THEN THERE IS A BUNCH OF CODE AFTER ALL THIS- WHICH I DIDN'T BOTHER TO TYPE HERE OF COURSE)
There are no instructions (that I can find) explaining where this code goes, which optimizes your movie for various formats. You can't drag and drop this whole folder into an iWeb Movie page.
So where do you copy and paste this code in iWeb, that Quicktime creates from your movie?
Any input is appreciated!
Thanks!

Best way I know is to put the movie into Iphoto, select it, go to "share" and choose to iweb. It will go straight to a new page in iweb which you can rename and include in your site.

Quicktime Export for web

i have exported a video for web using quicktime and when i try to upload it, i wont play... i have the video uploaded (the actual .mov) but i dont upload another file that is exported (the .m4v) because is like 200MB and the .mov is only 4KB. how can i make the player on the web, play the .mov file instead of the .m4v? hope u understand... Thanks in advance.

How to make it smaller in file size than your original 5.5 GB file?
You just did when you used the "Export for Web" feature and it was reduced to 200 MB's in file size.
200 MB's is still much too large for Web use as your viewers will not wait for your file to download.
Break up your 25 minute "masterpiece" into 5 minute "chunks" or compress it further by using:
Export > Movie to QuickTime Movie
Reduce the data rate, file dimensions and choose H.264 video codec and AAC audio. Forget "stereo" to reduce that part of the file. Reduce dimensions to reduce the video part of the file size. Cut the "frame rate" by 50% to make even a smaller file size. Your Web viewers will probably not notice.
Do some tests with a one minute sample file to learn what works best for your file. Compare the new exports (side by side) by using the "Play All Movies" feature of QuickTime Pro.
After a few sample exports you'll quickly see which data rate, frame rate and video compression codec works best for your file.

FCP quicktime "iphone "export diff then quicktime "export for iphone web"??

so what i dont get, is when i export out of quicktime using "export for web" and i choose the "iphone" 900 kbit option, i get 480X270 beautiful true widescreen clips. But when I export using quicktime conversion in final cut pro 6 and i choose" iphone"....i get 480X360. Why does this happen? I want true widescreen, just like everything i get from itunes.....not this 360 size (which i know is the phones screen res, but who cares)?

Alistair
Earlybird is exporting H264 ... the Key Frames setting is determining the GOP length. This value should really be determined based on the complexity of the video, to my understanding, the actual frame rate has no bearing on it. If you have very complex fast moving content then a low Key Frame rate is advisable to ensure good image quality (although it will adversely affect the filesize) whereas if you have slow moving or static content (like an interview subject) then a higher Key Frame rate will still produce a good image but at a smaler filesize. The default of 24 should be pretty much fine as a catchall starting point.
Earlybird
Corrupted render files (and render references) can be a pain because FCP will use those files and references in place of the original media when building the export. And so it should as it does't want to waste time re-rendering sections that are apparently already rendered. Unfortuantely, as noted, if the render file has gone bad and/or starts referencing the wrong media then you'll get these wierd flashes of completely unexpeced and unwanted footage showing up where it shouldn't be. When you trash those files then QT / FCP will just go back and re-reference the original media ... so it's usually a worthwhile step to take just in case thats the problem. The worse case scenario is that it only that doesn't work and you spend some time unecessarily re-rendering.
As to why these files go bad? That I don't know. Why do Preferences get corrupted? That I don't know either but it definitely happens :-(

Quicktime Export For Web files inaccessible

I accidentally posted this in the QT for Windows section, but I'm a Mac guy.
This is totally bizarre. As of this afternoon, all of the QT files (generated with Export for Web from QT7.6) that I've posted over recent days and weeks, on multiple servers, played back by different computers at different locations, running QT 7.6.4 and 7.6.6, OSX 10.5.8 to 10.6.3, WILL NOT PLAY. How is this possible?
If I connect directly to the original .mov file (as opposed to the "alias" .mov file generated by Export for Web), then it will play. If I connect to the .m4v file, my browser wants to download it, and then play it.
What's going on here? Apparently I'm not the only one to have this problem. Is this due to some sort of DRM update put in place on account of the iPad introduction? iTunes and QT have been updated on at least one of the computers I've tried this with, and it didn't make a difference.
Hello??? Is anybody out there?

Here are several examples:

Also, the server named vista is a Mac server running OSX Server 10.4-something - despite its name, it is not a Windows Vista machine.

QUICKTIME EXPORT FOR iPOD NOT COMPRESSING

I'm having a QT problem. It seems no matter what size QT file I want to compress into an iPod file, it either stays the same size or gets larger. Ever since the QT update to 7.1.3, I've been having strange things going on with my QuickTime. I'm also having a problem Exporting a QT file into a WMV file through Flip4Mac plugin. Anyone else having compression problems like the iPod exporting? Or can anyone suggestion why my QT Pro is not compressing QT clips into iPod format??

Is there a way to force Quicktime to use Multi-Pass encoding with an iPod-compatible h.264 Configuration?
Yes. In QT Pro (or application with QT Pro routines access) simply use the "Movie to MPEG-4" export option and restrict the Profile to "Baseline" and set mode to "Best (multi-pass)" in the advanced options window. However, be advised that this workflow is limited to the original H.264 settings and will not produce a 640 x 480 "LC" profile/higher data rate iPod compatible movie. Where "LC" files are required, try using either MPEG Streamclip (my preference) or ffmpegX application for conversion. Both allow the multi-pass option.
The second Pass doesn't double encoding time, but it does result in a much more usable file with a lower bitrate (and lower filesize).
True, however, depending on content and possible custom video data rate user settings, multi-pass conversions can become less stable and monotonically exceed qunatimization limitations making the movie unsynchable to iPod or even unplayable in QT/iTunes players. If this happens, you can switch back to the single-pass mode which is much more stable and clips the data rates much more efficiently to conform to target average. Basically, think of the multi-pass mode as an attempt to acheve "constant quality" (which somestimes fails) and the single-pass as a "constant data rate" (which varies the quality to maintain stability) mode.

Quicktime export for web with Rapidweaver

Hi everyone,
I am here as a last resort in trying to get an answer to this problem that I have with understanding how to do this.As we know quicktime creates 3 video file for us to cater for different speed conection over the internet. Great. I have published my movie files on my Siteground server and I can play the ref/movie there with no problems. Great. Now in RW where would I put the code created by quicktime for the 'head' of the page and for the 'body' of the page??? I am having all sort of confusion issue as to what to do. I have contacted the RW team but they wont support a third party app. the forum has nothing to say so I am here hoping that I will strike lucky with some of you.
Thanks for all your time and support.

Using Quicktime's "Export for Web" feature in iWeb?

Greetings,
Does anyone know if this is possible within iWeb, that is, to use movies created using Quicktime's "Export to Web" feature, which really seems to deliver superior movie quality?
Much appreciated,
DaveB

Thanks, good stuff, though I'm still having a small problem with this. I'm getting a gray line around the top and left of my movie and the right side of the player is getting cut off. When I try to make the width larger, it just moves the gray line further to the left.
Any ideas?

Quicktime Export settings for projected slide presentation

I'm looking to find the best quicktime export settings to use in order to have a Keynote 3 presentation as a stand alone movie. I will be projecting the movie from a PC onto a large screen at 1024 x 768 resolution. The project is for a photography club public presentation, and needs to be top quality.
Thanks for your input

Barbara,
The 640X480 vs 720X480 dilemma is an interesting subject! DV Video and Video DVDs use 720X480 resolution. TVs do not have square pixels, but computer monitors do have square pixels - so some adjustment is needed, and 640X480 is the square pixel down-converted equivalent for computers to the 720X480 in non square pixels used by TVs......make sense?
iDVD supports high definition video
Well what this means is iDVD can read HD video files, and convert them to standard definition Video DVDs. It does NOT mean that iDVD can produce HD DVDs. HD DVDs and HD DVD players are not on the market yet.
Today's Video DVDs are not high resolution, they are 720X480. The only way to get higher resolution is to avoid the Video DVD standard, and just make a data DVD. This will not be playable on commercial DVD players, only on computers with the right software and codecs. If I needed to make professional presentations on large screen high resolution monitors, I would not use Video DVDs. Bring a new powerbook and use H.264
If you want to go the DVD route anyway, then 720 X 480 is the best you can get. I'd tell FotoMagico to export in HD (720p). This is a bit of overkill, as iDVD will encode at a lower resolution, but I've gotten good results that way.
You may have to use the anamorphicizer to get iDVD to realize the movie is Widescreen.

How do I batch "Export For Web" from Quicktime, one at a time

I have 20 quicktime movies in folder A.
I would like to "Export for Web" for all 3 options (iPhone, iPhone (cellular), and Desktop) to folder B.
How do I create an automator script to complete this action one at a time, until they are finished converting?
Also, I do not want to delete the originals.
I have never used Automator, but I'm guessing it should be easy to execute a shut down command when it is done...
Thanks a lot!

iTunes does not handle the import of photos/videos from the iPhone's Camera Roll.
If this is not the computer you sync your iPhone with, you should have been provided a warning message that your iPhone is associated with an iTunes library on another computer and when trying to transfer any iTunes content from a different computer, a warning message is provided indicating that all iTunes content on the iPhone will be erased first.
When connecting an iPhone to iTunes on another computer, none of the options under the various tabs for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes are selected automatically. This means you had to select Sync Contacts under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes on your wife's computer.
Assuming you are syncing contacts with a supported address book app on your computer, connect your iPhone to Tunes on your computer and without syncing, under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences below the Advanced section, select Contacts for replace info on this iPhone followed by a sync.
For importing photos/videos from the Camera Roll which can be done with a computer that is not used for syncing the iPhone since syncing with iTunes is not involved.

Suggested Quicktime settings for HD export

Hi
Hoping some one can help? I Would like to retain best possible quality from my High Dev camcorder. I gather the best route is to use export> Quicktime but what I would like to know are the best "settings" to use. I live in the UK so does PAL have a part in it?
I intend to copy the completed project to my portable HD drive then copy that to the HD drive on My xbox 360 to hopefully watch a higher quality home movie than If i was to burn to DVD.
Thanks
Kier

Sorry for the duplicate reponses. Not sure what happened there.
I really don't get how pal only does certain settings considering my HV20 is a pal camera and supports 1080i. Why would the compression be different. I am being so thick about this sorry.
By the way I have just compared 2 projects. 1 using the share to media option and the other with the 720p from quicktime.
There really isn't that much difference. I am viewing on a 720 pal tv. I did a shorter clip for a friends using the quicktime export and there was a big difference. My project was 20 mins where as the that one was 3 minutes so the compression was obviously less.
