Reducing physical size of a movie

Hi
I hope this is not a stupid question, but I can't see an easy
way of doing this. I have a flash movie which is 250 pixels wide x
110 pixels deep, and I need the exact same movie for a space that
is 160 pixels wide x 65 pixels deep. Obviously, I can reduce the
stage size, but can I automatically scale down all the elements
that appear in the movie? I should say that there are lots of
images and text boxes in the movie.
Many thanks for any help.

yes there are a few ways to scale your files content - but
the easiest is to do this in the publish settings simple by
adjusting the size in the HTML tab dimensions section where you can
adjust by pixel or percentage. however i notice that the dimensions
you list do not correspond to an even break - that is the smaller
size doe not have the same proportional relationship as the large
one - so if use the second set of dimensions it will likely
'stretch' the content in one direction or another.

  • Reduce physical size of image with minimal quality loss

    Hello,
    I have to fit high res, high quality, images behind a presentation frame, which is only about 800x600. Everytime i reduce the high res images to fit behind the frame, even with bicubic sharper on, the reduction in quality is really bad. Is there anyway i can maximise quality when reducing the dimensions of the image?
    Any help much appreciated...

    Hi Ed,
    What approximate sizes are you starting from? My hunch is that you are expecting too much detail to remain in an 800 X 600 which is pretty small. As far as I know the bicubic algorithm is the best for reducing images that Photoshop has ever produced.
    You might try an experiment. After shrinking your image duplicate the background layer in the layers palette. On the duplicate layer run Filter > Other > High Pass and set the radius to 0.5. Then change the blend mode of the High Pass layer to Overlay. You may find that you like the subtle sharpening without artifacts.

  • Reducing size of iTunes movies for iPhone

    Does anyone know how I can reduce the size of a movie purchased from iTunes before adding it to my iPhone? Movies I rip myself (from my own DVDs of course!) can be made quite small, but those iTunes beasts...well they're just chewing up my iPhone space.
    Any suggestions? Mac OS X 10.5.8, iPhone 3G, and iTunes 9.0.1
    Thanks!

    Unfortunately, movies purchased from iTunes are protected by DRM methods and can't be compressed or transcoded without bypassing the DRM. Commercial video apps don't process protected media and discussion of methods that remove DRM is prohibited in this forum.

  • FCP 6.0.5 Extremely large exported DV movies? Need to reduce output size

    I am working in DV, I have noticed on my latest 2 project, huge exported DV video files. The first was about 15 minutes and the video file was about 23 GB, the latest is about 28 minutes and the exported DV video file is 40.88 GB.
    I understand that when I export to Quicktime movie, that I need to use the export codec native to my sequence setting, it order to maintain quality. What are my options to reduce file size? Can I change the sequence settings to Apple Intermediate or Animation to reduce file size? The most important thing, I do not want any loss in quality, of what I would obtain from the native DV file.
    Thanks in advance for reading and replying to my post
    Thank You in advance for taking the time to read and reply to my Post.
    Sebastian

    The reason why I am posting my question, is I understand an hour of DV video is a 14GB file, this is why I am unclear why my video files are so large. It makes no sense to me. Why are my files not adhering to the 14GB per hour of DV rule?
    What are my option for reducing this enormous file sizes?

  • When I move a RAW file from IPhoto to my desktop or Photoshop it changes to a jpeg and reduces in size. How can I get the Raw file across?

    When I move a RAW file from IPhoto on my macbook pro to desktop or Photoshop it changes to a jpeg and reduces in size. How can I get the Raw file to move across?

    I create separate folders based on the year and then the actual date of when I take images. You can make those folders anywhere on any hard drive that is connected to your Mac whether internal or external. I also use the Photoshop Photo Downloader that is included with Photoshop/Bridge and it will create the date folder so all I do is create a Year folder.
    Open Bridge or click on the Bridge icon in PS and in the File menu item in Bridge select "Get photos from Camera". It can be a camera connected to your Mac or a memory card from a camera. A window will open and you then select the camera or memory card. Set the location they will be downloaded to, just the folder and you can Browse to a folder that you created, then in the "Create  Subfolders drop down select what date stamp you want to use or or custom name or not to create subfolders at all.
    I've never cared for iPhoto one bit. I tried it but found it way to restrictive. It likes to have full control over how you interact with your images.

  • Reduce file size of Movie Clip

    My swf file is 1.3 MB. It contains a dozen 72dpi images with
    alpha tweening. It is taking awhile to load. Is there a process to
    follow of a free software to reduce the file size?

    The proper way to reduce file size is keep your images
    external and load
    them on demand.

  • How do I reduce the size of photos to use on website?

    Thanks to the helpful person who recommended I use Rapidweaver to build a website, I am slowly getting somewhere. It is so simple and just like Apple applications that I think I can do this.
    My problem now is that when I tried to transfer a photo from iPhoto to the draft website page it comes across so large it fills the page.
    How do I reduce the size of photos so that I can bring them across? I need to show about 20 photos on the web pages. Do they need to be in a different format and if so how do I change it to the appropriate one?
    Many thanks.

    Hi Casuarina,
    Go to this site and click on the Desktop Version Quicktime movie for a small tutorial. It will explain everything to you and you can see how you resize right within Rapid Weaver. It's really quite nifty.

  • How do I reduce the size of an AI CS6 file when saving as a pdf?

    I'm trying to save an ai file to a PDF to send to the printer but the file is huge. How can I reduce the size without losing quality? I have already rasterized my images and flattened the artwork. Thanks!

    How huge is huge?  Are all of the images Placed at 100% or have they been scaled?  What are the printer's requirements?  What are the physical dimensions of the file?  And, how are you creating the PDF?  There are a few ways to minimize size, starting with the file itself and the printer's requirements.  I find, sometimes, Exporting > TIFF > Open in Ps > Save As Photoshop PDF is helpful.  I also use Distiller which trims files nicely and is customizable.

  • Trying to reduce file size of my opening page in a flash site

    I'm using the Flash CS4 IDE, and the first page of my site takes a lot longer to load than I want it to.  So I wanted to go through the varied images / symbols / movie clips / sounds and so on to see where all the memory is being chewed up.
    When I go into my library, however, I can see the Name, LInkage, usecound and Type of my elements, but no mention of file size and I can't seem to find any right click menu that lets me add file size to the list of details being displayed.
    Is there a way to make it show file size?  Or some workaround?
    And are there any best practices to reduce file size aside from using symbols for anything that's used more than once and reducing image and sound quality?
    Thanks

    I was actually using the term pretty loosely.  I'm building a Gaia site which works by loading an Index page, then a Nav (navigation) page on top of that, and then lets you load and unload pages as necessary on top of those.
    Since the Nav page never gets unloaded it's a good place to park certain content.  So it's actually my Nav page that's gotten too bloated.  And the coding is handled through a separate Nav.as file (so it's not the first frame of my nav.swf, it's all the varied movie clips I had to incorporate into my Nav.fla
    I'm just looking for a way to identify which MovieClips &  sound files (only have a couple of short ones) and other assets are taking up the most memory so I can see if I can cut those down.
    Also, do unused symbols use up memory or is it only the assets you actually end up adding that count toward file size?
    Thanks

  • How do i reduce the size of my Giant library file?

    My laptop is running out of room.  I have only 80gigs left (11% of the HD) and it is causing issues with the system.  I am assuming the virtual memory is unable to run properly as there isn't enough HD space for it.  So i have been trying to clean out my large number of video files (I make a lot of movies in iMovie).  I have deleted a lot of files so far, but so far that has only freed up 12gigs. 
    Inoticed the "Library.imovielibrary" file is 322 gigs.  I tried deleting some of the projects in there, but the file has not changed size.  How do i reduce its size?

    Have you as well deleted them in the basket in iMovie and then as well on the basket in the dock ??

  • Reducing file size in iphoto

    I needed to free up disc space (I have over 6000 photos stored in iphoto). I couldn't find a solution in this forum, but have hit on a way that works.
    1. Move photos to a CD to preserve original file size. 2. Export photos at reduced file size to a folder on the desk top. 3. Trash original photos. 4. Import reduced size photos. 5. Trash folder.
    Reduced size photos are fine for viewing and 4x6 prints. Larger prints can be made from the CD.
    Perhaps there's an easier way, but this works.

    File -> Export
    Note the Jpeg Quality setting. That has the most impact on file size.

  • How to reduce file size

    I have one page file. There is no image, just text. Now the file size is 3MB.
    I cannot reduce size anyhow. I have moved the tick from embed fonts at save option tab but file size is same.
    How I can reduce file size?
    In addition this file is used so many times.

    Probably not.
    If you don't see the Master Page tab in Designer, then the way in which you imported the existing PD means that the page was brought in as artwork. I don't think you will be able to reduce it now.
    One potential option would be to:
    Go back to the existing PDF and export the page as an image. You can process the image in Photoshop (or similar) and get the image file size down.
    Then start a new form in Designer and on the Master Page drag on an Image object and associate it with the image in step 1.
    Save this new form and see is the file size acceptable. If so, proceed.
    Now open your existing 3Mb form in Designer and copy all of the objects.
    Paste these into your new form.
    You may need to move things around a bit.
    Hope that helps,

    "The ACS Database needs to be compressed as a part of maintenance operation. You can run the acsview-db-compress command from acs-config mode to reduce the physical size of the view database when there is a difference between the physical size and actual size of the view database. ACS 5.5 stops only the log collector services during compress operation and will be up and running after the compress operation is completed. You need to enable the log recovery feature to recover the log messages that are received during the database compress operation.
    In ACS 5.5, database compress operation is automated. You can check the Enable ACS View Database Compress check box to compress the ACS View database automatically every day at 5 A.M. The database compress operation is run everyday automatically at 5 A.M whenever there is a need."
    I already tried to manually compress the DB via "acsview-db-compress" without any effect. 

    Hello,
    You're running into bug CSCum51180. The alarm should be a warning, not critical, and should be raised only when the physical size exceeds the actual size by more than a gigabyte (in your case, the difference is very small, 1.5 vs. 1.48).
    The fix should be present on a future patch.

  • How can I reduce the size of IPhoto ?

    I have tested IPhoto with a few hundred pictures.
    I do not find this software very user-friendly, in particular because I can no longer locate the files of these pictures. I kept fortunately a copy of my complete set of my photo collection.
    I removed all pictures from IPhoto, but the application shows a size of 600 Mb.
    How can I reduce the size of IPhoto and recover this storage space?

    patrick
    in particular because I can no longer locate the files of these pictures.
    There are three ways (at least) to get files from the iPhoto Window.
    1. Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    2. File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    3. Show File: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
    Rolls in the iPhoto Window (View -> Film Rolls) correspond exactly with the Roll Folders in the Originals Folder in the iPhoto Library Folder. You can move photos between Rolls, you can rename rolls, edit them, create them, as long as you do it via the iPhoto Window. Check out the Info Pane (wee 'i', lower left) the name and date fields are editable. Edit a Roll Name using the Info Pane, the Roll Folder in iPhoto Library Folder/Originals will also have the new name.

  • How can I reduce the size of the jvm?

    I would like to decrease the size of a jvm; I've found a program that makes it, but you don't know how does it works (and you have to pay for it), I'm talking about VM Optimizer 2.0, from Invirtus.
    Can anyone tell me how can I reduce the size of the jvm?
    Thanks a lot.

    I assume you mean the size of a JVM instance in memory and not the size of the JRE which is on the disk.
    I don't believe that there is any way at present for your Java code to change the amount of memory available to the JVM. This shouldn't matter too much, though. Firstly, you can control the size of the JVM from the command prompt with the -Xms and -Xmx options. Secondly, any remotely reasonable operating system is going to wait until the JVM has requested memory before allocating all of it. If you start a JVM with a 2Gb heap, it does not occupy 2Gb of physical memory straight away.
    Finally, I did a Google on InVirtus VM Optimizer and must request some information. What does that software have to do with Java? It's designed to reduce the size of a virtual computer as created by a prorgam such as VMWare. It has nothing to do with the Java virtual machine.
