Resizing and exporting to flash = headaches and long nights

I have footage shot in 16:9 PAL DV (interlaced)
Client now wants delivery as a flash file 600 x 400 pixels.
+How do I get the best result?+
Should I output the file as a PAL DV interlaced and then convert it to flash? The results I got are not very satisfactory.
Should I change the sequence setting within FCP to 600 x 400 pixels square, insert the original clip at 100% (thus clipping a bit off the edges), and deinterlace, and then export to Quicktime? Also not very good results.
+I know that this involves quite a bit of resising, so if anyone has a good workflow suggestion for me, I would be more than happy.+

Bump. < </div>
Your question would be best answered in a Flash forum. It's not simple and Flash is terrifically misunderstood by most clients. There are FLV and SWF files and there are at least five different Flash encoders you could be using, including Adobe's.
Once you export a top-quality QT out of FCP, it's up to your Flash encoder to create the best possible image file. If you have a Mac-compatible Flash encoder on your FCP machine, you need to investigate the manual and mfr's site for that product.
The best, fastest, easiet way to get FLash done properly is to provide a Flash artist with your QT file.

  • I can only export in flash player, flash professional, and premiere pro

    Hi,
    I just got the CS5 production DVD's. I only installed AE on my macbook pro osx 10.6.8.
    When I go to export my project/composition I only have 3 options, i can only export in flash player, flash professional, and premiere pro.
    Where are the options to export as a quicktime movie and all the others?
    Do I have to install the entire suite for these options to appear?
    If so, why?
    Thanks,
    Jason

    More importantly, for the newly initiated, some time spent here would go a long way.

  • Mouse clicks and path not exporting to flash

    Hey Guys, I've just started using Captivate v5 and all seems to work fine but when I export to Flash CS5, the mouse animates as linear and the click effect doesn't appear. If I preview from captivate the paths and clicks are there. If I click the mouse icon on the slides, they are all set to flash blue circle and straight pointer path is unchecked. The slides do not contain live film either, just screenshots. If I go into the movie in flash, the tween is there but no motion path. Any ideas?  Thanks

    Yeah, when I export to flash it opens the doc as AS3. Also, I noticed the default click effect does work, but when I change to any of the custom ones it gets ignored by flash.

  • Export to Flash and keep the file size small!

    Clearly Keynote has a major bug when exporting to Flash. The files become very large, about 10x larger then the combined size of the JPEG's inserted. Earlier today I discovered how to get around this issue, albeit a far from perfect solution. Simply open each picture used in Photoshop and use the "save for web" menu. Save each image as GIF, 128 colors and rebuild the Keynote presentation. Although a color rich picture saved as GIF versus a reasonable compressed JPEG is x 3 or x 4 times larger the end result when exporting the Keynote to Flash is substantially smaller. Apparently Keynote exports to Flash without adding size when GIF's are used. Apple, please fix this "JPEG export" bug!

    Hi Gopal,
    You can get the components in your internal table using the below code-
    lo_struc_descr ?= cl_abap_typedescr=>describe_by_data( <fs_line> ).
        lt_components = lo_struc_descr->get_components( ).
    * Insert the component names in the start of the file
        LOOP AT lt_components INTO ls_components.
          IF lv_string IS INITIAL.
            lv_string = ls_components-name.
          ELSE.
            CONCATENATE lv_string ls_components-name INTO lv_string
            SEPARATED BY cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab.
          ENDIF.
        ENDLOOP.
    Here <fs_line> is a work area. Basically we are getting all the fields in the internal table and writing their names in the start of the file.
    Hope it helps.
    Regards,
    Ravi

  • Lightroom 4 resizing on export feature - using the "long edge" resize option - doesn't seem to work

    In previous versions of Lightroom (prior to 4), when I used the resize feature while exporting, I often used the "long edge" value to resize.
    Previously, when I selected 2500 as the "long edge" value, I would receive exported JPGs in a size of something like 2500x1650 or so for landscape shots and 1650x2500 for portrait shots.
    With LR 4 (not sure if this started with the RCs or 4.0), using the same settings, I'm getting landscape shots that are 3700x2500 and portrait shots that are 1650x2500. This is acting more like I said I wanted a dimensional resize of _____ X 2500 instead of long edge of 2500.
    I tried playing around with some of these settings, but nothing seems to give me the old behavior of 2500 on the long edge, even though that's what I've set it for.
    Anyone else seen this type of issue?
    I'm currently running LR 4 RC2, but also noticed this on RC1, but not sure of 4.0.  I'm a Mac user, running the current version of Lion (10.7.3) on a 2010 Mac Pro.
    Thanks,
    Mark

    With RC2 on Windows 7 (64 Bit) I get 2500x1667 for landscape and 1667x2500 for portrait, as expected. Seems to be an issue in the Mac version only.
    A workaround might be to use "dimensions" instead and leave one of the fields empty (LR inserts "0" there, but one cannot enter "0" manually). I think this is equivalent to "long edge", but I am not 100% sure (edit: ok, I think I am nearly sure that it is).

  • Resizing output when exporting to Flash/SWF

    Does anyone know if there is a way to resize the output when exporting a Keynote presentation to Flash/SWF? When you export to QuickTime, you can adjust the output size. I can't find a way to do that when exporting to Flash.

    I think that's because the Flash output displays at whatever size you want when you embed it into a website. For example, you can't create a Keynote presentation smaller than 200x200. BUT, if you create at 200x200 and then, in your embed statement, change it to 100x100, then that's how it will display on your web page.

  • Word File Takes Longer and Longer to Save

    I’ve been working daily on the same 100-page document for several months. I had no problems with the document under Word 2003. However, under Word 2010 the file grows in size over time, and saving the file takes longer and longer to the point where there
    are significant timeouts (Word is “not responding”) whenever an automatic save occurs. 
    I don't want to diable automatic saves because Word does crash for me on rare occasions, generally if I do something "too fast".
    I’ve found a workaround for the problem, and every three weeks or so after the automatic saves have become painfully long I copy the document to the clipboard (except for the last paragraph mark) and then I open a new document based on the relevant template
    and I paste the clipboard contents into the new document. I rename the old version of the document and the new version becomes the working version. This reduces the file size (currently around 1.4 MB) by about 150 KB and the problem goes away for another three
    weeks.
    Certain aspects of my situation are unusual, and these may or may not be relevant to the problem:
    At the end of each day I use (via a macro) the Review, Compare feature of Word to compare the document with the previous day’s version to allow me to reread any changes I made to it.
    I use various other macros for intelligent page-turning, resizing windows, smart Find, etc.
    I maintain the document as a DOC file (Word 97-2003 Compatibility Mode) because I need to share the document with an organization that requires this format.
    The document flips back and forth a few times between being a one-column and two-column document.
    The document has a table of contents on the last page.
    The headings in the document have embedded section and subsection numbers.
    The document has numerous embedded SEQ and cross-reference fields.
    The document has embedded EMF pictures that were generated by a non-Microsoft application.
    The long times to save the file and the temporary solution I’ve found to the problem suggest that some "junk" is accumulating “in” the last paragraph mark. This junk doesn't cause any operational errors, but it slows things down to the point where
    the auto-save times out and I temporarily get the distracting "not responding" message. It would be nice if Word could automatically eliminate the junk in the last paragraph mark so that I wouldn’t have to do it manually.
    Do you have any suggestions for how I might eliminate the problem?
    I'd be pleased to send a copy of the slow-saving file to a Microsoft Word programmer for diagnosis of the problem.
    I have up-to-date Windows 7 professional (64 bit) and Word 2010 14.0.6129.5000 (32 bit).
    Thanks for your help,
    Don Macnaughton

    I am experiencing exactly the same save issue, although I cannot use the suggestion of copying to a new document as I have allot of references within the same document and I'm scared that I'll loose them (or mess them up).
    It is nearly a year later, did you have any luck?
    Francois,
    I'm still experiencing the problem. However, I've now converted the document from a DOC to a DOCX, but that made no difference.  So every 18 or so days I copy all of the document into a new document except for the last paragraph mark
    and the problem goes away for another 18 or so days.  For my document this solution is fully reliable although it's less convenient because it's a little complicated and I worry I may make a mistake or some text may be lost in the transition.
    So I'm still looking for a solution to the problem. Is there anything unique about your document or your handling of the document that might be the cause of the problem?  Are you using macros, Compare Versions, switching back and forth between
    one and two columns, or anything else that is common to the features that I list in my first post in this thread?
    You might want to try my copying solution as a test while keeping your original document as the official version that you continue to work with.  You could then check the test document very carefully to see if my solution works with your
    document.  You might find that you can trust my solution (or you might not). 
    By the way, I make sure that the copy worked properly by doing a Compare Versions of the old and new documents.  (Surprisingly, sometimes the compare finds very minor differences between the two documents, but usually not.)
    If the problem really bothers you, you can hire Microsoft Support, although that will cost you some money.  If you do that, please let us know the outcome.

  • Mass upload of characteristics and long text for Object Links in DIR

    hello all
    I want to upload characteristics and long text of Linked Objects in Documents: i wanted to use BAPI_OBJCL_CHANGE and family but, it is a class that is on a different level than the DIR as it does not belong to the DIR directly, but to objects that are linked TO the dir, via the tab linked object.
    any idea on how I can do that?

  • Resize and Resample in Photoshop CC

    Hi.
    I use Photoshop since 1997 and jump from CS5 to CC this week. What I used to do sometimes is taking a 150dpi image and need to make it 72dpi, BUT I really want it to change pixels dimension. In PS CS5 I just needed to go to "Image Resize" and change 150 do 72dpi, and PS kept the Cm/Inches dimensions but changed pixels. Is exactly what I need to do. I PS CC it doesn't work, if I change dpi it will only change image size in Cm/Inches.
    And example, I have an Illustrator file, 800x800px. I export it as 150dpi JPG, opens in PS. It will show an image like 1667x1667px 150dpi. I want to change it to 72dpi so my JPG will be 800x800px again.
    Some people will say: "but why don't you already export from ILL as 72dpi?". Because I sometimes need those images in 150 and sometimes in 72. So I prefer to have a 150dpi image and resize to 72 if I need instead the opposite.
    Do you know if there is a way in PS CC to solve it?
    Thanks,
    Luiz

    DPI PPI  and an image's DPI resolution setting and Inkjet Printers DPI Resolution setting ???
    Dots Per Inch is an old printers term that came about when images were printed black and white using little dots of inks fined dots finer sharper images it density of dots size of dots image like news papers.  Later color image usinf 4 colors CMYK...
    Pixels Per Inch a term use about displays color pixels are three color Red Green Blue their geometry layout varies and some have even added a fourth yellow component  again its a density size display are manufactured with a single PPI density.  Different displays panels have their manufactured PPI. Most desktop LCD panels today have a ppi around 100.  Displays do not support your Image Files DPI resolution setting the display pixels their PPI size.  Image sizing on displays is done by scaling  the numbers of pixels in a image a displaying the scaled image not the actual images pixel. Zooming percent....
    Inkjets printers do not print like news papers and the do not use a single drop or dot of ink per image pixel.  The user their higher finer drops of ink to paint in you images larger square pixels. You inkjet printer can print pixels and siy up to the maximum resolution. Your printer DPI setting is a quality setting the higher the setting the finer the pixels will be painted in.  Higher quality settings are only available on high quality Photo paper for more ink is laid down and requires a special surface to prevent ink running pixels together regular paper would receive to much ink and be more a blotter paper.
    Image DPI setting defines/sets the image Pixel size without changing a single pixel in am image you can print the image any size you want by changing the size of its pixels.

  • How can i do a batch resize and watermark on an entire file of images

    I would like to resize and watermark all of the image in a particular file.  I understand that I can do this with Lightroom, but I do now know how.
    Can someone give me some helpful pointers.
    David Levin

    If you mean "entire folder of images" instead of "entire file of images", then select the desired folder, then select all images (Ctrl-A), then export the photos. In the export dialog box are the options that will allow you to set the desired size and set the desired watermark.

    You have 10.6 on that machine, I suggest you stick with it for performance, third party hardware and software reasons as long as possible.
    Consider 10.8 (not 10.7) when it's released, because 10.7 and 10.8 will require a new investment in software and newer third party hardware as it requires newer drivers the old machines won't have. (forced upgrade because of software, really nice of them)

  • Can't fetch clob and long in one select/query

    I created a nightmare table containing numerous binary data types to test an application I was working on, and believe I have found an undocumented bug in Oracle's JDBC drivers that is preventing me from loading a CLOB and a LONG in a single SQL select statement. I can load the CLOB successfully, but attempting to call ResultSet.get...() for the LONG column always results in
    java.sql.SQLException: Stream has already been closed
    even when processing the columns in the order of the SELECT statement.
    I have demonstrated this behaviour with version 9.2.0.3 of Oracle's JDBC drivers, running against Oracle 9.2.0.2.0.
    The following Java example contains SQL code to create and populate a table containing a collection of nasty binary columns, and then Java code that demonstrates the problem.
    I would really appreciate any workarounds that allow me to pull this data out of a single query.
    import java.sql.*;
    This class was developed to verify that you can't have a CLOB and a LONG column in the
    same SQL select statement, and extract both values. Calling get...() for the LONG column
    always causes 'java.sql.SQLException: Stream has already been closed'.
    CREATE TABLE BINARY_COLS_TEST
    PK INTEGER PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL,
    CLOB_COL CLOB,
    BLOB_COL BLOB,
    RAW_COL RAW(100),
    LONG_COL LONG
    INSERT INTO BINARY_COLS_TEST (
    PK,
    CLOB_COL,
    BLOB_COL,
    RAW_COL,
    LONG_COL
    ) VALUES (
    1,
    '-- clob value --',
    HEXTORAW('01020304050607'),
    HEXTORAW('01020304050607'),
    '-- long value --'
    public class JdbcLongTest
    public static void main(String argv[])
    throws Exception
    Driver driver = (Driver)Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver").newInstance();
    DriverManager.registerDriver(driver);
    Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection(argv[0], argv[1], argv[2]);
    Statement stmt = connection.createStatement();
    ResultSet results = null;
    try
    String query = "SELECT pk, clob_col, blob_col, raw_col, long_col FROM binary_cols_test";
    results = stmt.executeQuery(query);
    while (results.next())
    int pk = results.getInt(1);
    System.out.println("Loaded int");
    Clob clob = results.getClob(2);
    // It doesn't work if you just close the ascii stream.
    // clob.getAsciiStream().close();
    String clobString = clob.getSubString(1, (int)clob.length());
    System.out.println("Loaded CLOB");
    // Streaming not strictly necessary for short values.
    // Blob blob = results.getBlob(3);
    byte blobData[] = results.getBytes(3);
    System.out.println("Loaded BLOB");
    byte rawData[] = results.getBytes(4);
    System.out.println("Loaded RAW");
    byte longData[] = results.getBytes(5);
    System.out.println("Loaded LONG");
    catch (SQLException e)
    e.printStackTrace();
    results.close();
    stmt.close();
    connection.close();
    } // public class JdbcLongTest

    The problem is that LONGs are not buffered but are read from the wire in the order defined. The problem is the same as
    rs = stmt.executeQuery("select myLong, myNumber from tab");
    while (rs.next()) {
    int n = rs.getInt(2);
    String s = rs.getString(1);
    The above will fail for the same reason. When the statement is executed the LONG is not read immediately. It is buffered in the server waiting to be read. When getInt is called the driver reads the bytes of the LONG and throws them away so that it can get to the NUMBER and read it. Then when getString is called the LONG value is gone so you get an exception.
    Similar problem here. When the query is executed the CLOB and BLOB locators are read from the wire, but the LONG is buffered in the server waiting to be read. When Clob.getString is called, it has to talk to the server to get the value of the CLOB, so it reads the LONG bytes from the wire and throws them away. That clears the connection so that it can ask the server for the CLOB bytes. When the code reads the LONG value, those bytes are gone so you get an exception.
    This is a long standing restriction on using LONG and LONG RAW values and is a result of the network protocol. It is one of the reasons that Oracle deprecates LONGs and recommends using BLOBs and CLOBs instead.

  • My iPod is showing a white screen. I could not see anything. But I can listen to songs by blindly pressing the play button twice. The battery comes only for an hour.? How do I get the display and longer battery?

    Hello Friends,
    I've two iPod Nanos (4th gen - 8GB). I'm facing a severe problem with both of them. For both iPods, I tried to do this method Simultaneously press the top button + home (central) button. But of no use.
    1. My first iPod is showing a white screen. I could not see anything. But I can listen to songs by blindly pressing the play button twice. The battery comes only for an hour.? How do I get the display and longer battery?
    2. My second iPod is facing more severe problem. None of the buttons are working. When I connect it my PC it showing "CONNECTED- eject before disconnecting". But it is not ejecting with all the usual methods. When I manually and physically disconnect it from the PC the same "CONNECTED- eject before disconnecting" is still showing till the battery goes off. After that if i press any button it is showing low battery signal. And when i re-connect it to the PC the same process is repeating. When I tied to restore it to the factory settings I'm getting "Error" report.
    (I'm using windows 7)
    Friends, Please help me with the above problems. It will be a great help.
    Thank You.

    Sounds like some hardware issues, meaning you'll want to take or send the iPods in for service or repairs. You can choose to have Apple do an out of warranty exchange for the prices indicated in the link below or find another third party service perhaps even local to your area.
