Set final size in Compressor?

Is there a way in compressor to tell it to take this 5 minute movie, and say make the final compressed size 1 gig? Or just tell it the final size you want and it'll estimate the bit rate and do it for you? I'm speaking using strictly h.264 as a QuickTime movie. Either VBR or CBR. I thought it had this feature?
Or am I mixing Compressor up with another compression company? Like "Episode."

Not in Compressor. Compressor is based around data rates.
However, when you set a CBR data rate, it will tell you the approx file size per hour of material. If you can do simple math, you should have an good estimate of the final size.
Or, use a bit rate calculator.

Is there a way to set target size in Compressor

I know this may be too general of a question, but i'd really like to find a way to set the size of a compressed file. I have to upload videos to and online host server and my max is 1.5 GB. right now i have to fool around and try different codecs to see how big they are and sometimes i have 20-30 minute videos. and it's pretty poor work flow to wait an hour to encode only to find out that it's way tpp small or way too big.
also any suggestions on which codec i should use to upload videos from 15 seconds to 30 minutes with a 1.5 GB size cap would be great
thanks

I'll answer your first question first.
Best codec for quality is H.264, one good settings folder is the following:
Settings tab>Apple>Other workflows>Web>QT7 compatible>Pick your H.264 setting (For flv you'll need a third party plugin or software).
You want to know how big your file is going to be before encoding?
Choose your setting. Set your preferred bit rate then in Inspector window click on the "summary" button (first from left before the encoder button).
Look carefully through the listed info, there you'll find out what the estimated file size is. If you change bit rate again the estimated size will change too.

Set font size based on component size

Hi everybody,
This is kind of a duplicate, kind of new, because my original post is buried and I figured out a more helpful and general way to ask this question. Does anyone know if there is a way to set the size of a string as large as possible on a component, but still be able to have the whole string visible, if you're using a font other than default?
For example:
public static void main( String args[] ){
try {
          JFrame frame = new JFrame( "Title" );
          frame.setDefaultCloseOperation( JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE );
          int guiWidth = width / 2;
          int guiHeight = height / 2;
          frame.setSize( guiWidth, guiHeight );
          Container pane = frame.getContentPane();
          // Create main label
          String labelString = "Test";
          JLabel label = new JLabel( labelString );
          label.setBackground( new Color( 179, 0, 0 ) );
          label.setForeground( new Color( 235, 191, 16 ) );
          label.setHorizontalAlignment( CENTER );
          label.setOpaque( true );
          label.setFont( new Font( �Old English Text MT�, 0, 48 ) );
          pane.add( label, BorderLayout.NORTH );
          frame.setLocationRelativeTo( null );
          frame.setVisible( true );
} catch( Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
     }As you can see, right now the font needs to be hard coded. I'd like it to be dynamic, based on the size of the screen the user has.
Sorry if the partial double post annoys anybody; I figured it would be less annoying than resurrecting my old post.
Any help on this would be great, and thank you!

Can I use Final Cut During Compressor Export?

Hi,
This is my first time using compressor and I'v read that you can use Final Cut while Compressor exports. When I start to export from Compressor, I get a message on Final Cut that says Frame X (what ever frame the export is on) and I can't use Final Cut when Compressor is exporting. I have rendered everything in Final Cut's timeline. Can I use Final Cut while compressor exports?
Thanks,
Zevie

Zevie,
You would not lose any quality. You will speed things up considerably.
To set up compressor to use all your free cpu, you need to enable sharing with qmaster. On your system preferences, there should be a qmaster item.
There are lots of posts about how to set it up. Do a search on it. I think even apple has instructions on how to do it. You can read the compressor manual as well.
It is called distributed processing, and you will want to set up a quick cluster.
Here is an article about it. The only thing that I know is different is on Snow Leopard, you may have to select "Managed" in the services box for compressor. This will allow you to select the number of instances.

Good luck

How to set video size default for exporting?

Hi,
I use quicktime conversion to export video out of FCP. My question is how to set a default video size. Under the options I can change the video size to NTSC 720:480 4:3 (and other choices). How do I set that as the default? Everytime I close out of FCP, the setting revert back to compressor native, which is what I dont want.
If anyone knows, please email me at [email protected]
Thanks
Greg

You can't. Use Compressor and build a droplet to the exact specification you want, especially if you're going to be doing that format often.

Set maximum size in Text Form Field Options for a field in bi publisher RTF

Hi All,
How to set maximum size in Text Form Field Options for a field in bi publisher RTF.
I have a RTF whch is having a field in that i need to add some validation condition but after adding certain condition in Add help text tab ,it is not accepting after certain length, how i can increase the length to unlimited,please help me on this
Thnaks

Form fields have some restrictions if your are using version lower than 11g.
They can accommodate only 393 chars. You can add the text in both status bar and help key, which can in total consume 393 chars.
If your code logic is more than that, it can be split into multiple form fields as Avinash suggested or you can use sub template logic and handle coding over there. Again in sub template code can be within/outside form fields.
So there is no option for user to increase the size of form field.

How can I estimate the final size of my .ipa?

Hello there,
As far as I know there is no "scietific method" to find out how many megabytes will be added to an application after it was uploaded to the Apple Store.
For example, my app in origin was 14.680.351 bytes and just when I've finished to upload it I got this email from the Apple Store:
"Dear developer,
The app binary listed below was 14 MB when you submitted it, but will be 21 MB once processed for the App Store. This exceeds the cellular network download size limit and would require your app to be downloaded over Wi-Fi".
bla bla bla
Obviously seen that the limit is 20 MB I worked a bit on my app and I managed to lower his size to 11.236.336 bytes.
Then I uploaded it again and this time I got no warning.
So in details my app, the firt time was 14.680.351 byes and has a lot of assets (external images, about 700 for 9.1MB in size).
The main swf was about 900K in size.
I have also a database of 1MB in size.
The air runtime I think is about 4MB
The second time the app was 11.236.336 bytes and I resampled the 700 images for a final size of 5.3MB.
The main swf was again about 900K in size.
The database still 1MB in size.
Plus the 4MB of the air runtime.
However, it is obvious that it would be better to know the final size before putting it on the Apple Store, or at least it would be good to estimate it.
So please reply to this thread by posting your experience.
Thanks a lot
P.S. I forgot to mention that I've done all in Flash CS5.5

Hi therabbitwindfall,
I know that apps over 20MB are allowed to be downloaded over wi-fi, however, if I can, i prefeer to make the app available also to 3g.
So, in a nutshell, your equation is:
finalSize = application.ipa size - 4,5MB Compressed Air Runtime + 10MB Uncompressed Air Runtime
I apply it now to my first upload:
finalSize = 14.680.351 bytes - 4.608.000 bytes + 10.240.000 byes = 20312351 byes that is not 21 MB however I do not know exactly the size of the compressed air runtime and the uncompressed one.
mmmh, you can be right, thank you.
Anyone from Adobe can confirm this?

How do you set the size / bounds of a waveform chart at run time?

I have a plot area that I would like to fill with as many waveform charts as the user specifies (at run time). The "bounds" property is read only and I haven't noticed an additional "size" property for a waveform chart as there is for a button. Is there a way to set the size of a waveform chart at run time, and if not, why not? (Labview 6.1)

Look at it a little more carefully, I suspect that your assumption is only half wrong. The property does only resize the plot area--LV resizes the frame to fit the resized plot on it's own.
You'll need to bear this in mind when you're figuring-out what size to set the property to.

How to set the size for height of iView tray?

Hi,
I have created a ABAP webdynpro component and integrated this comp with iView. Then i integrated iView into Page in portal. That is working fine.
But the size of tray/window which is displayed in the page is very small.
How to increase the height of that Tray/window/iView containing my component?

Hi,
By changing the maximum automatic height and Minimum automatic height property of the iview you can set the size for height of your iview.
to do this follow the setps:
goto content administrator -> portal content -> your folder where you created your iview or directly to your iview -> right click -> open -> object,
and now in property category choose appearance-Size from the drop down menu and set the above properties to your required height.
if you want the end user to modify this property set the property to read/write .

Export in iPhoto offers a "Custom" setting for size. The default is 1000. 1000 what? Pixels, centimeters, MB's?

Export in iPhoto offers a "Custom" setting for size.
1000 is the default, but I don't know what 1000 refers to.
Pixels, centimeters, MB's?
I want to make the photo an 1 inch x 1 inch.
Do I go up or down from the 1000?
Thanks

Pixels.
For a 1" x 1" photo first crop the photo square. Then export with Kind = Current with JPEF Quality = Maximum and Size = Full size.
Then when you go to print the photo select a 1" x 1" print size. This will squeeze all available pixels in each dimension into the 1" dimension giving you the highest DPI resolution available from your image file.

Default text size in Compressor is too small for normal human eye

Is there any way to change the text size in Compressor 4 in the windows? I can't find any.
The normal default text size is way too small for any normal human being eye to read clearly.
Please, have mercy on us, whoever designed the tiny fonts! Not fair to the rest of us . . .

Well, guess we folk with not-too-good vision will simply have to keep on trucking the best we can, eh? We can't enlarge text, so as a result we can't use software like Compressor like the rest of the population. Sad to say, especially with a company like Apple . . .
Yeah, well I gave the Apple Compressor Team my feedback, just like I've done the last 3 months with other things, then of course the feedback from us all melts into the either, and we never really know if anyone reads it, like they say. Me thinks not. This is the only feedback I'll ever get, I'm afraid:

Setting page size in Numbers on Ipad?

Anyone know if you can set page size in Numbers on Ipad?

I don't see a setting for page size. Everything else related to that (sans setting the page size) appears to be found here:
Click the wrench
Share & Print
Print
Select portrait/landscape, content size, page numbering, headers
Done (don't actually print it)
I wonder if you set the page size when you actually go to print it. I don't have a printer to try it on. Otherwise it looks like 8.5x11 is all you get.

How to set the size of an open dialog

HI Everyone:
I cannot set the size of the open dialog.
I create a menu and menu item called "open"
The menu item "open" will call OpenFile().
However, I cannot set the size of the open dialog
Everytime when the open dialog pops up
the size isn't 500 x 500.
Does anyone know what's wrong with this program ?
Thanks a lot,
Rodger
================================================================
public void OpenFile(){
JFileChooser fc = new JFileChooser();
fc.setSize(new Dimension(500,500));
fc.setFileSelectionMode(JFileChooser.FILES_AND_DIRECTORIES);
fc.showOpenDialog(this);
================================================================

Try this and then tell us if it worked:
JFileChooser fc = new JFileChooser();
fc.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(500,500));
fc.setFileSelectionMode(JFileChooser.FILES_AND_DIRECTORIES);
JDialog d = new JDialog(new JFrame());
d.setSize(500, 500);
d.getContentPane().setLayout(new FlowLayout());
d.getContentPane().add(fc);
d.setVisible(true);
