Smaller frame size - bigger file?!

I export a 2.15GB 720x528 .mov to 640x480 .mov and get a 2.21GB file.
?!?!?

If you choose custom setting you can set size, frame rate, codec, codec bit rate etc.
But an unchanged data rate of X kb/sec or mb/sec will be the same size file even if the original is downscaled to 1/4 the size.
Try MPEG Streamclip if you are exporting to common iTunes formats - it's free, does batches and has a nice iTunes preset button if you select export to MPEG-4 that applies all the settings for you. IIRC JPEG makes a pretty large file as a natural result vs. H.264. Why are you using it?
If you must even picking JPEG as a codec lets you fill in boxes to set bitrates lower than your original.

Videos are downloaded at small frame size

Sir/Madam,
I downloaded some videos from youtube. I have "Download Helper" and "Best Video Downloader" add ons installed. Any video that i download is downloaded at very small frame size like a little box. I don't mean a specific video , the problem is with any video that i download. I tried both of them. I informed them about this but no response is given by them. Is this a browser issue? (This problem is occurring from 2 days.)

Not a Firefox issue
Open Windows Media Player
* go to View Menu -> Video Size -> place Checkmarks on -> '''Fit Video to Player on Resize''' -> '''Fit Player to Video on Start'''
* Restart Windows Media Player
Check and tell if its working.

When you make a project frame size bigger shouldn't the old clips look smaller

Im relinking 4k files to my 1920 x 1080 project. When I changed the project to 4096 x 2304, shouldnt the 1920 x 1080 clips look smaller in the viewer. The relinked new clips look the same as the old clips. Even a 1920 x 1080 motion graphic looks normal over the new 4096 x 2304 clip. The inspector shows the frame size I made both the project and the clips, but It dosent make sence that the old clips look the same size as the new clips. The first time I tried the relink to new file size I noticed the old files looked smaller, now I dont know what happened.

No. If the aspect ratio is correct, the media in the changed project will be scaled to fit the project. Select a clip (or clips) in the project and in the Video inspector open Spatial Conform. The default is set to Fit. If you want it back to normal size set it to None.

Exported mp4 or flv has much smaller frame size than the original

Not sure if I started the project the wrong way or if I'm doing something wrong when I export.
My imported file is an mp4 29.87 fps 44,100Hz 16 bit stereo.
480x360
When I export it as an flv or mp4 the image is about the size of a postage stamp surrounded by a huge black border.
Any help would be much appreciated.
I'd rather export and flv.
Martin
P.S. I'd like the exported size to be around 390x214 or something a tad smaller than 400 wide.

Thank you Hunt for your reply.
I was an editor for 30 years (Michael Redbourn) and did some editing on Premiere a few years back for a client, but somebody set up the pre-sets and did the export for me, so as is obvious I know next to nothing about how to do either.
What is your Sequence Preset? Does it match that Source Footage?
I didn't see any preset that matched 44,100 hz
How can I check to see what my sequence preset is?
In those Export formats, what are the Presets used?
What are the settings for the Frame Size options?
In those formats, if you chose, say a DV Preset, and did not do cropping, you would get what you describe.
I tried several and certainly one of them was a DV preset, and I didn't crop.
The answers to the above questions should give others something to work with, and likely get you a solution to the issue.
I'm really just experimenting with a short sequence and to reedit it will be really simple, so if you could tell me which presets and export settings to use, I will redo the project and learn a lot at the same time.
Original clip is an mp4 29.87 fps 44,100Hz 16 bit stereo 480x360
I'd like the exported size to be around 390x214 (preferable .flv) or something a tad smaller than 400 wide.
Thanks again,
Michael

Editing scroll view frame size in IB causes table view to change

I suppose this is a continuation of the problems I was having with the table view resizing: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2618816&tstart=0.
I have a controller which needs to have a scroll view with numerous elements attached to it, including a table view.
I have performed the following steps:
- Set the simulated interface elements of the owning view to a nav bar.
- Added a scroll view to the main view in the nib file.
- Set the file owner view controller subclass' view to the scroll view.
- Set the contentSize of the scroll view to the desired size in viewDidLoad.
The problem is that the table view size/position are incorrect when I load the view in the iPhone simulator if I change the scroll view's frame size from 320x460. Basically, every time the scroll view frame size is changed, it causes the scroll view position and size to change.
However, there are times I want to make the scroll view's frame size bigger in order to edit items that might be offscreen when the application is first loaded, which becomes awkward if the size of the view in IB or in code without causing the table view size/position to change. I keep having to change the size of the scroll view frame, edit the items, change it back to 320x460, and then fix the table view.
Is there a way around this, such as a way to locking the size of a table?

Hi Kaspars,
I would say there is atm no possibility to change the table view size dynamicly, because you can't input a formula into the size field so the size is fixed as you enter it.
Best Regards,
Marcel

Custom frame size

I've been searching the net for an answer all day, but can't work it out.
I'm trying to create a video with frame-output 288x364. When I save it, I get the correct size of frame, but the video is only shown i the middle of the frame - like it dosn't fit to the frame size. Can you help in anyway?
I'm a rookie at this....! And Danish too, so excuse my poor English!

So is this the best answer that we can come up with in four months? That Premiere Elements can't work with some cameras, so you have to spend a lot more money for a better program?
Let me put that sort of question another way: When trying to render a project to an AVI file, Elements only gives me a choice of the 720 x 480 frame size. In order to reduce the file size for uploading, I want to reduce it to a smaller frame size. I'm not really picky about the exact size, but I was figuring around 420 x 320. (And, as Kimdj said, I don't want to just reduce the viewable area, effectively cropping the video. I want to take the whole frame and shrink it down.)
I've been able to do this with other, older, cheaper video editing programs in the past (Pinnacle 8, Video Wave 4, and others), so I'm skeptical about claims that Premiere Elements can't handle the job, or that the camera I used is important (a simple Nikon Coolpix S550, for the record).
So now that that the debate has been rephrased, does this spark anyone's creativity?
Thanks in advance!

Anamorphic PAL Frames Sizes

If i'm working with anamorphic PAL footage and i want to output a sequence as Quicktime MPEG4, then the frame size is 720x576 but it is stretched to what size?
What frame size will give me the full frame in QT in 16x9?
And what other smaller frame sizes can i use?
Also on frame sizes topic, what does QCIF, QVGA, CIF and VGA stand for?
Thanks in advance!

The"frame size" for PAL Standard Definition is 720x576, 4:3 or 16:9. The difference is in the pixel aspect ratio:
PAL 4:3 >> Pixel aspect ratio 1.066
PAL 16:9 >> Pixel aspect ratio 1.422
That's is the difference.
OK, now, when you use Compressor for exporting MPEG4 files, do as follows:
1, Select a Quicktime6, MPEG4 preset (if you want MPEG4, of course !!)
2, Add this preset
3, Edit the added preset (you cannot edit it till you have choosen it) and in the size options (the fifth button, where you can see the triangles and rectangles icons) , in the option "Constrain to display aspect:" choose 16:9.
You'll get an MPEG4 movie in 16:9 format.
If my basic english explanation is not complete clear . . . please let me know.
Good luck! (. . . but, it's not a matter of luck after all)

What do the "Automatic" settings do for Frame size and Frame rate in Compressor 4.1.1?

Can anyone tell me, very specifically and with technical detail, what the "Automatic" settings do (in Compressor 4.1.1) for the following setting attributes: (1) Frame size and (2) Frame rate
Thank you!

Hi, in addition to Russ's advice for the VIDEO PROPERTIES in the Inspector, you might consider the "automatic" options being proposed by compressor.app V4.1.x as OPTIMAL for the destination codec you have specified that deviate (or differ in some way) form the MASTER (source) from where your are transcoding. There's no real TECHNICAL detail. These UI values simply are passed as parameters to the codec. The image/audio results can be PREVIEWed ofcourse in the compressor.app V4.1.x UI (Current PAne) ... us the slider and the timeline to determine final taste!
Suggested Examples may include:
REDUCED frame rate for a slower device or stream or bit rate or destination dleivery platform
reduced bit rate for older devices
smaller FRAME SIZE for say SD devices specified
INCREASED frame size with added "padding" in a situation like LETTERBOXING (4:3 in a 17:9 for example.. may others)
ye old PAL to NTSC conversion
inter-frame group of pictures (GOP) for distribution.
Scaling
retiming
cropping verses scaling
or simply what compressor.app "thinks" would work best - usually the best for most work.
others will have many more suggestions.
Also note that there are some nice overidding settings in the inspector/Video for resizing and retiming and Cropping you might consider.
For client based production distributions, many of us use CUSTOMISED settings. You may create and delete these on an AS NEEDED basis.
Lastly, There's likely a good write up the defaults in the latest Compressor.app V4.1 Users Guide PDf - you might want to pull it down from http://manuals.apple.com and shove it in ibooks.app. I recommend getting a copy. Also get the latest FCPX 10.1 Users Guide and Motion while you're there. Great for iPAD and iPHONE too if you get bored.
FWIW.

Reduced frame size results in increased file size (?!)

Hello
I am trying to decrease the resolution of my HDV video to a smaller size, to put in on Viddler. The format there apparently is width="437" height="370".
I exported from FinalCut into a QuickTime file, the file size is 485MB.
Then I used QuickTIme Pro to change the movie into the above frame size, and add a letter box.
The resulting file is over 6GB in files size! How can this be? I used no compression and these settings: no compression, millions of colours, Best Quality, Apple Lossless sound, 48.000MHz, Mono.
The reason for not compressing is that Viddler will compress on its servers (into Flash).
Any hints? I must stay under 500MB to upload the file to Viddler.

I am trying to decrease the resolution of my HDV video to a smaller size, to put in on Viddler. The format there apparently is width="437" height="370".
According to a Viddler "staff" member on their forum, the player is 545x408. Therefore I would try one of the following:
544x408 (4:3 aspect) 544x306 (16:9 aspect) (closest match disregarding macro blocks)
512x384 (4:3 aspect) 512x288 (16:9 aspect) (long file up-scaling macro-blocked)
576x432 (4:3 aspect) 576x324 (16:9 aspect) (short file down-scaling macro-blocked)

To me, a "QuickTime file" is anything you can stuff into an MOV file container, or a more loose definition, anything compatible with the QT Player and currently installed QT components. With regard to going from 485 MBs to 6 GBs, your file size is directly related to the total (audio + video) data rate used for compression. Not compressing a video makes it bigger while the higher the compression, the smaller the file.
The reason for not compressing is that Viddler will compress on its servers (into Flash). Any hints? I must stay under 500MB to upload the file to Viddler.
Since the target for the Flash target conversion is 448 kbps (400 kbps video + 48 kbps audio), the same staff member recommended H.264 multi-pass video compression at 768 kbps and AAC mono audio compression at 64 kbps with a sampling rate of 44.1 kHz. Splitting the difference between the staff recommendation and your apparent worry about quality loss during re-compression, I would suggest this as a maximum level of compression and likely try a total data rate in the 1500-1600 kbps range which should yield something on the order of 12.25 MBs/min for output for initial tests. You can, of course adjust rates up or down depending on the duration of your file upload in order to meet the 500 MB limit and satisfy quality considerations.

How to make PDF file size smaller from an Illustrator file without changing the quality or size (length and width) of the file?

Is there a way to make a 30x42 size (40 GB) Illustrator file as a PDF but make the file smaller in size (able to email to clients) with out compromising the quality of the file or the size of the file?

If you are working in RGB you can embed a colour profile. Embed ICC Profiles is one of the Acrobat save options. It will increase files size dramatically.
When you save your pdf you can choose the compression method for placed images. Default is ZIP which is really no compression at all for pixel images. Instead you should opt for JPG compression (of varying degree according to how sensitive the images are to compression).
You should also examine the other Acrobat save options. To minimize file size you should not have any of the options checked (Preserve Illustrator Editing Capability, Embed page Thumbnails etc. etc.).
40 gigabytes for a file like the one you show is ridiculous. Did you maybe embed the placed images? If so, don’t. Keep them linked unless you really need to embed them.

I can tell you that this is some of the absolutely worst customer service I have ever dealt with. I found out from a store employee that when they are really busy with calls, they have third party companies taking overflow calls. One of those companies is Xerox. What can a Xerox call center rep possibly be able to authorize on a Verizon account? I'm Sure there is a ton of misinformation out there due to this. They don't note the accounts properly or so everyone can see them. I have been transferred before and have asked if they work for Verizon or a third party also and was refused an answer so, apparently they aren't required to disclose that information. I spent a long time in the store on my last visit and it's not just customers that get the runaround. It happens to the store employees as well and it's beyond frustrating.

Do you have images on your PDF? You might want to use smaller images (smaller in file size and not in necessarely in image dimension).

Safari always loads small window size have to always increase size pressAA several times. How can I have it bigger by default ?

Safari always loads small window size It leaves a wide margin on both side of the window. I have to always increase size press AA several times. How can I have it bigger by default ?
Changing the font size does not work. Many Thanks

Hi Bee
This is not what I mean. I'm not a new user of computers. Even when the window fills the screen. There are wide boarders either side, have to press the AA serveral times to increase web page (in the tool bar top left) so that the web page fits the window.

Is there a way in an unstructered Frame11.0 file to change all anchored frames in the file to a specific size at the same time?

Is there a way in an unstructered Frame11.0 file to change all anchored frames in the file to a specific size at the same time?

Rog,
This is perfect use case for ExtendScript. You could easily iterate over all anchored frames and resize them. You would probably want to resize the contents as well, though, which would add a few extra lines of code.

Smaller frame size - bigger file?!
