Recomended output settings for screen recordings

I am fairly new at this and all of the options for outputs, inuts, codecs and the like are bit overwelming. I was wondering if anyoen could share me me some of their seetings that they use for the output of video for the web. I will be outputting at 880 X 660 if that metters.
Many thanks,
Houston

Here is the (perfectly working) code that this resulted in:
/// <summary>

/// We have not yet found a way to respect the output setting (regarding) åäö in saving files tab of the flyout-menu

/// Currently using a workaround, by setting the final name AFTER that the file has been exported.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="docRef">The document to export</param>
/// <param name="filePath">The path to the file to write</param>

    // Begin with deleting the destination image if it already existed on disk.
    if (System.IO.File.Exists(filePath))
        System.IO.File.Delete(filePath);
    //var options = new ExportOptionsSaveForWeb;
    dynamic options = Activator.CreateInstance(Type.GetTypeFromProgID("Photoshop.ExportOptionsSaveForWeb"));
    options.quality = percentage;
    options.format = 6; // JPEG = 6 (according to Object Model Viewer i Extenscript Toolkit)  .Type.GetTypeFromProgID("SaveDocumentType.JPEG");   // Save Format for the file
    var mockupValidFilePath = System.IO.Directory.GetParent(filePath).FullName + "\\tempfile.jpg";
    // dynamic exportType = Type.GetTypeFromProgID("ExportType.SAVEFORWEB"); fungerar inte
    // ExportType.SAVEFORWEB = 2 (according to Object Model Viewe in Extenscript Toolkit)
    docRef.Export(mockupValidFilePath, 2, options);
    // Since "Save for web and devices" (export document) renders unpredictable results,
    // neglecting the output settings, we rename the file after it has been exported.
    System.IO.File.Move(mockupValidFilePath, filePath);

  • What is the best HD output settings for YouTube uploading?

    Trying out iMovie '09 for the first time.
    I shot a 2.5 minute video (AVCHD) and with
    the video output settings I selected it is taking
    about 20 minutes to encode.
    That is way too much time...or is it?
    Based on a YouTube video I watched on editing
    in iMovie '09 I set my video and audio outputs as follows...
    * Export using Quicktime
    * File Format: MPP4
    * Video Format: H.264
    * Data Rate: 8192
    * Image Size: 1920x1080HD
    * Frame Rate: 60
    Encoding: Faster Encode
    Audio Data Rate: 256kbps
    Encode Quality: Best
    Now where can I improve encoding time without sacrificing
    a huge amount of quality in my YouTube upload? I really want
    the upload to look crisp HD on YouTube.
    Thanks

    For what it's worth, I used these settings earlier today in a test.
    Share/Export Using QuickTime
    Movie to MPEG4
    Options:
    h.264
    10,000 kbits per second
    1920x1080HD
    Frame Rate 30
    Keyframe: Automatic
    Main Profile
    Single Pass.
    Here are the [results for 1920x1080|http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdBwUzWZf9M]
    Other test results are in [this thread|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2579263&tstart=0]
    By the way, there is nothing magic about 10,000 kbps. If you used 16,000 kbps, it would be roughly the same data rate as Apple Intermediate Codec. But since YouTube does not penalize you for using a high data rate, as long as it fits their time limit, you can err on the side of high quality. The trick is to start high and then back off until you notice the quality dropping. In your case 8,000 may be fine.
    My guess would be your frame rate is the issue. Most AVCHD camera shoot 30 frames per second (or 60 interlaced fields per second).

  • Output Sharpening for Screen Still Not Sharpening?

    There's obvious sharpening differences for matte and glossy, high and low, but when I export JPG for screen, using Lightroom 2.4, PS2 shows no difference between the two layers using difference blend mode.
    John Gregson

    I just tested it and it appears to work normally now although the difference is still a little too subtle for my taste. You should use Apply Image in Photoshop and set it to substract to really see it. Then you use a levels adjustment layer to see the differences. I see a very clear difference in sharpening. In 2.3 there used to be no difference whatsoever between standard and high. Below is the result for substracting a high output sharpened image (screen) minus a standard output sharpening followed by a levels operation at 100 and 149. Clearly the high sharpening sharpens more than the standard.

  • PDF Output Settings for Word Email Merge?

    Hi all,
    I'm using Acrobat X's integration in Word to do an email merge of PDFs. There are images in my template that need their quality maintained. So far, I've been unable to find a setting that affects the "Merge to Adobe PDF" script.
    I've created a new PDFMaker Settings > Conversion Setting that uses all the highest image-preserving settings I've found to change from my research. This includes turning off downsampling and compression. When I simply print to PDF or Save As PDF, the image comes out perfectly. When I Mail Merge to PDF, the image quality is lost again.
    Where can I adjust the settings for the script that merges to PDF to preserve the image quality?
    Thanks for any help!

    Found a workaround, but it does not answer my original question.
    My images were in PNG format (which I had intended to use for its transparency). PNGs appear to not handle well in the PDF mail merge. Testing with JPGs, I found they retained much more quality, so I ended up using my Snipping Tool to save the images (with the background seen through the transparent parts) as a JPG, then swapped those images into the document.
    Very sloppy workaround, but it got the job done!

  • Color and output settings for .mov files?

    My GH3 shoots either AVCHD, Mp4, or its own variant of the .mov files, up to 60fps and 'all-intra'. Fine and dandy. The .mov files are the easiest to use as they are always just one file, no 'related' files to copy over etc. I'm trying to figure out how to do my grading in Sg, then render for final output so that I can then take that file and port for various possible uses such as dvd, standard computer use, web use ... typical modern stuff.
    I've tried setting the timeline to various settings including gamma 1.8 and essentially "none", tried various setting in the render-output panels, using PhotoJpeg or H.264 as the "base" and then trying either no calibration or various choices there ... and still having troubles finding how to match the Sg monitor to the final output.
    Any general or preferably specific ideas? I've searched a number of places, and ... this is something that is just mentioned in walk-throughs everywhere I've looked, if it even gets that much. Neither the Adobe movies nor Lynda-dot-com cover this ... and I've spent a couple days doing nothing but this. So ... ideas?
    Neil

    Same here, I find it unbelievable this occurs and there doesn't seem te be a solution. Is it something developpers know about but can't solve so ignore all the discussions about it?
    It seems so simple to me: whether the monitor is calibrated or not, whatever monitor it is, when I place the exported movie window in Quicktime, and one in VLC, next to the Speedgrade window, all on the same monitor, it all should look the same right?! Ok, so I hear Quicktime does its own calibration while playing.
    I'm working on a project now which are product films, the end result is a room where everything is white (not overexposed, all details are in there), the product black and blue, plus a model (brown skin).
    I'm including a few screenshots of the same shot in different players. Speedgrade, VLC, Quicktime, MPEG Streamclip. MPEG Streamclip comes closest to the Speedgrade monitor. How can I possibly sell this to my client? This is shown on laptops at presentations, beamers via laptops (probably all Windows), big screens with a built-in mediaplayer etc, and most important: online! on youtube/ vimeo.. Not operated by experts, no control over which player is used.
    The films will probably almost always be shown by someone doubleclicking on the file, so it opens in the systems standard movieplayer, Quicktime or Windows Media Player. It just has to look good in this! How do I do this?
    When I place the exported clip on top of my Speedgrade timeline, it does change (the whole histogram range shifts brighter).
    edit: I now exported with Automatic Color Calibration ON, the results has better contrast/ resembles contrast I see in Speedgrade. Placing this clip on top of my Speedgrade timeline shows almost exactly the same. Export to ProRes4444 AutCC: Histogram expands tiny tiny bit, can't see a change in the monitor it's so small.
    Export to ProRes422 AutCC: Histogram expands a bit, you can see a slight change in the monitor (whites bit brighter, black bit darker). But acceptable.
    No change in the color differences though! Skin colour varies huge in different viewers, highlights have more green/ more magenta.
    speedgrade
    quicktime
    vlc
    mpeg streamclip
    These screenshots look exactly the same as how the colors are in the viewer the screenshots comes from, even when I place this browser window next to it on the same (calibrated) monitor.
    Thanks for any tips..
    Peter
    edit 2: The frustration gets worse. Playing the clip (prores 422 with Automatic Color calibration) in Preview (Mac, by hitting spacebar when on the file in Finder) shows EXACTLY what I see in Speedgrade monitor! It feels like the solution is out there somewhere but I can't reach it (cause no one will actually play the video in Preview).

  • Where can I get great dynamics settings for rock recordings?

    Hi Folks,
    I'm not familiar with using all the different dynamics settings but I know they're crucial for getting pro sounding mixes. Is it normal practice to compress and or limit individual tracks and the entire stereo output simultaneously? Too much seems to create a warbled sound on the transients. I guess what I'm really asking for is a good starting point for drums(ran in stereo from a plugin) and bass guitar. Thanks a lot for any advice.
    Rick

    Hi,
    a good starting point maybe this: http://www.tweakheadz.com/guide.htm
    Dynamics are a very complicated thing to start with as a beginner. And it should be the last thing to think about after you have done everything else: Make sure the signal is mixed perfectly, EQ-ing, preparing FX to use later on, panning, etc.
    It's also good to treat the drum set individually if possible. If your drum plugin has multiple outputs, use them. By doing this, you'll have separate tracks for base drum, snare drum, hi hats, cymbals and toms.
    I wouldn't apply strong dynamic FX on a stereo sum - the result maybe less good than an uncompressed signal.
    Start with applying a little compression to the base drum. Restrict yourself to it until you get experience how the compression alters the signal.
    As for the stereo sum, use a little limiter on it to cut away the peaks that might clip your signal. Later, you might want to look for a multiband compressor that treats every frequency band individually so that a pumping base drum cannot make the compressor duck away the trebles. Since Logic express has no good multiband compressor, you might want to install slim slow sliders C3 multiband compressor, which is free (google for it).
    And keep your time - learning to apply dynamics isn't about "who can give me a nice template?", because there simply isn't such a thing as a template for good compression.
    A good effect should only be heard if you turn it off. Don't overdo it.

  • Highest Quality Output settings for creating a DCP

    I am editing something in Premiere and After Effects in CS4.  My footage is 720p and 23.976fps.  What are the optimal output and codec settings so that my movie can be turned into a DCP either by Open DCP or a Post House?  I found a tutorial about importing ProRes 422 codecs into Adobe CS6, but unfortunately it didn't work for CS4.  What is the best uncompressed codec setting for my project?  Thanks

  • 1080p output settings for playstation 3

    Hi,
    I have lots of 1080/60p (AVCHD) footage shot with a a panny HS900. 
    When I copy the files to the PS3 and play them to a 1080p tv - it's awsome.  Same deal when I play straight from the camera.
    But, when I edit the footage in premier elements 10 and export to 1080/30p (AVCHD) the resultant video looks ever so slightly jerky during fast sports scenes.
    Is there a way to ouput 1080/60p or can someone suggest different settings?
    Thanks in advance.
    M.

    I missed this thread and started another on this subject.  In it wrote that I don't have trouble with 1080p60 and included these two paragraphs:
    "I’ve scanned and read here that 1080p60 is not supported by Adobe in PE10 and it seems troublesome for many.   Yet for me, it seems to works fine.  I use one of the 1080i30 or 1080p30 project presets. Using “Get Media”, and selecting a known 1080p60 file, then checking the thumbnail with a right click and “Properties” confirms it is in fact 1080p60 and an .m2ts file. 
    When “Sharing” (rendering) I select Share>Computer>Presets>select MP4 H264 1080p30>Advanced>Frame Rate and both 59.94 and 60 are offered.  The output file is not a .m2ts but is an .mp4.  If done on a single clip, the new file is a little larger than the original and I think that is because of the default rendering bitrate is a little higher than the original.  Both files play fine and are indistinguishable to my eye on a 55” TV using a media player."

  • Best Output Settings for movies via iMovie and Quicktime

    So here's what I don't understand. I can download a 1080 movie trailer, such as Get Smart, and convert it to Apple TV standards via iTunes and have it look amazing.
    However:
    When I digitize my own content, such as TV shows (broadcast TV) from my DVR, or old VHS tapes, why can't I get the EXACT same quality I get as if I were sending these videos to iDVD?
    I capture in DV format using iMovie 6 (don't get me started on 08) and, in the past, when that footage is rendered onto a DVD, it's been fantastic.
    However, when I take that same DV footage and convert it to Apple TV format, it does not look good at all.
    I know the culprit is the FPS rate (24 vs 30), however, I am not understanding how I can take an HD trailer and still have it look great in 720p, but I can't get the same quality from digital video I capture in DV format. That just doesn't make sense to me.
    I read that 24 fps will give that "movie" look, but I want a VIDEO look as an option.
    I've rendered short clips using iMovie, Final Cut Express, MPEG Streamclip and Quicktime directly and none of the Apple TV output is worth it.
    Now a nice, cuddly little software update that would allow Apple TV to play full .mov files would be nice, but I suspect that isn't happening.
    Is there anyone who has any suggestions on taking SD DV footage and making a file that will play on my Apple TV AND still look as good as the original source video?
    I have Apple Cares on the Apple TV but every time I call them for tech support, I am kept on hold upwards of 1/2 hour each time and I get frustrated and hang up.
    PLEASE HELP!
    So ready to put my Apple TV on ebay and run a DVI to HDMI cable from my iMac to my LCD TV....................................

    I have a couple of thoughts about your issue.
    Firstly while you capture to DV, the broadcast tv shows are more likely to be in mpeg2, this itself isn't much of a problem, indeed I do exactly the same if I'm converting a movie that has interludes within it which I wish to remove (import into imovie and export the reference file to AVC in streamclip). This could however explain a little why you find your conversions to DVD (mpeg2) a little better. You also need to remember mpeg2 is lower quality than mpeg4 and even lower quality than AVC. If you watch a clip in mpeg2 it can look better than AVC because AVC is sharper and clearer and shows all the defects mpeg2 simply blurs.
    I also note you might be converting the frame rate to 24 fps, don't do this it will result in jerky video. If you are doing this to retain 720p, you would be much better dropping the resolution to no more than 960 x 540 and keeping your original frame rate, never alter your frame rate. Of note here, if your frame rate is 25 fps it may be accepted by the tv at 720p.
    Finally, you might need to consider what is happening to the resolution of these shows as they go through your workflow process. Your source is likely to be 720 x 480 anamorphic and your workflow is likely changing this to 640 x 480, 853 x 480 or even 1280 x 720 fixed ratio pixels, sometimes this conversion can lead to less than perfect results (another reason your DVD's might look better). Unfortunately imovie will drop these anamorphic flags and you may get better results using another application.
    My results are quite acceptable and I suppose the question is why when yours aren't, but it may simply be a matter of source since I'm in a PAL region.

    Since FCP doesn't yet have a share setting for iPad, does anyone know what the optimum settings might be. PAL, if that makes a difference.

    How does the iPad see video? How are you going to connect the iPad to the file?
    You might post or search the iPad forum.

  • Repeat output settings for PO reprint

    Hi,
    In transaction ME22, I am trying to repeat the output on my Local Printer to view the output of PO.
    But as soon as I save the PO after repeating the Output, the status comes as unseccessfully processed. No spool request generated either.
    Can some one explain if there is a process in SPRO by which we can restrict the print output to come out only once, and cannot be repeated.
    Regards,
    Chintan.

    Hi,
    1. Once you say "Repeat Output" in PO (ME22N), click on "Further Data" button and change Dispatch time to 3 i.e. Sent with application own transaction instead of 4 i.e. Send immediately.
    2. If you want it not to generate automatically everytime then goto NACT, here enter Application as "EF" and go to details of output type, here in "Default values" tab change Dispatch time to 3 i.e. Sent with application own transaction instead of 4 i.e. Send immediately.
    3. Also for that Output Type change Dispatch time to 3 i.e. Sent with application own transaction instead of 4 i.e. Send immediately in MN05.
    But this will change it for ME21N. Better do as per 1st suggestion.
    For Spool Request;
    Go to SU01, here input Ur User ID and change, here in "Defaults" tab deactivate indicator "Delete after output" and save.

  • *** FCP output settings for Blu-Ray?

    I'm not sure if/how this is possible, but I'd like to export one of my HDV sequences and take it to a production house that can burn a Blu-Ray disc for me. Is it possible to do this using FCP/Compressor or should I wait until NAB for hopefully FCP 6?
    If it's possible to export an HDV quality master can someone walk me through it? Would it work for them to use a file that I just export as a full-quality self-contained Quicktime movie?
    Thanks in advance.

    Talk to the production house of choice. Only they can tell you what they need. Hopefully for you it won't be HDV.

  • Best Quicktime Conversion Settings for YouTube Posting

    Youtube says on the website to upload mpeg4 video as a recommended format, but in the menu system for FCPHD there is mpeg4 as a file format and as a video format? Which do they mean?
    Any advice from youtube posters would be much appreciated, I know this is a generla question but I don't have that much time to research all the options in detail!
