Swapping video files of a different size

The final source files for my project won't be ready for a while, but I have a set of half resolution rough versions to work with in the mean time.
I would like to perform the complete edit on these rough files and swap them out when I get the final versions. I could apply a transform effect and scale the files to fit the project, but there's probably going to be a couple of hundred clips once I've edited (from 12 source files). That will mean going through each clip and removing the transform effect.
Is there an easier way to do what I want? Or perhaps there's a way to apply/remove an effect to a whole track instead of to individual clips? Putting the effect on won't be a problem since there will only be 12 clips when I start, but if there is a better way I would rather not go through each clip to remove the transform.
I only have limited access to the computer with Premiere on it for this project so anywhere I can save time will help.

also...something you are going to have to be aware of and manage very carefully if you choose to go the proxy edit route.
You need to establish a naming protocol so that all the clips have identical names.  ie  the large clips and the proxy clips are identically named..BUT filed in different folders of course.
You need to have the clips Time code match. ie proxy files (clips)  have identical timecodes to the large file (clips).

  • Folder/ file icons are different sizes from one window to another!

    Hi there
    I am having an extremely annoying problem where all my folders and files (in icon view) are totally different sizes from each other from one window to another. For example, I might click on a folder that's icon is small sized (64x64), but when that folder opens up, the icons of the subfolders inside are huge (276x276) and need to instantly be resized and re-arranged. Then if i continue to open one of these subfolders, the file icons inside it are now medium sized (96x96). Each new folder that I go into on my hard drive will be differently sized and I end up spending ages resizing and re-arranging them before I can do my work. This problem never happened in Leopard and Im despairing of what to do.
    Is there a way of setting a default icon size and spacing that can then be applied to every folder and file on the hard drive? I have used the 'Use as defaults' option on the 'View options' window but this doesn't apply it to anywhere else besides the current window you are on.
    Surely, Im doing something wrong as Apple could never have overlooked such an obvious problem like this?
    Can anyone advise?
    Many thanks
    Dan

    The Finder will (theoretically) remember the view settings for each individual folder that you visit. If you have not opened a particular folder before, you should get the default view settings, but once you have changed the view then that is what you will get on subsequent visits. You can erase the previous settings by deleting the (normally invisible) .DS_Store file that is created in a folder when it is opened, but this file can contain other Finder metadata.

  • IPhone app, video files and compression which size/format gives best outcome

    Developers,
    I have a series of video files that I want to integrate directly into an app ( I.e. The are contained within the app rather than streamed).  The files are currently .mov and have quite a large size ~50mb per file at full hd resolution.
    I wondered If anyone has had some success driving down the file size (in Mbs) but maintaining quality in their apps? Or know of other supported file formats that might allow for this?
    All comments welcome,
    With thanks,
    James

    Try h.264 sized appropriately and build using UIWebView and HTML5.

  • HT3775 how to open a video file that is different format

    how to open media plyer video file in mac?

    If you're talking about Windows Media files (WMV, WMP, etc.) then Flip4Mac will allow most (unless they have DRM) to be played in QuickTime.  VLC will also play them.  There may be other solutions.

  • Is there a limit to how big the video file can be, storage size or pixel size, when inserting in a powerpoint?

    When I add a video file to a ppt file using adobe presenter 9 it will now work when it reaches that slide.  the video will start but at about 30 seconds in it will tear to green.  Sometimes it will return and sometimes it will just stop after that.  When it comes back it will continue until about 40-45 seconds in then on a fade to black it will not play anymore. The slider will continue as if it is playing but no output is seen on the screen.
    The video file in question is 165MB, 1920 x1080 pixels MP4
    If I convert it to smaller, 65MB, 1080 x 608 MP4 file everything works with no issue.
    Can anyone shed any light on this?
    Things I have checked:
    Adobe updated
    Office Updated
    Windows Updated
    Drivers updated
    64 bit consistency
    Source file validation
    Rebooted computer
    Flash installed
    Flash trust enabled

    Do you notice a quality difference when playing the two videos in Presenter? I'm not a fan of HD video in Presenter, mainly because of the reduced screen real estate that is available for video. I find that around 720 X 480 usually works just fine, and keeps the file bloat down (as you have seen just in your change you lost 100 MB). I don't believe there is a limitation on what you can place in Presenter, but it may be a matter of what can be delivered effectively. There may also be something odd in the encoding of the 1080 version of your video. If you re-encode it at the same resolution, with the settings of the lesser resolution video, does it play back as expected?

  • How to produce HD video files with best quality/size ratio?

    I have used the HC3 for 2 days with iMovie and iDVD on my mac mini.
    When i started to import the footage with iMovie, i started to do it manually, moving forward and backward between scenes. This caused iMovie to crash very frequently. I then chose to let iMovie import the footage by itself and everything went fine.
    I then easily added the chapters, transfered to iDVD and created a DVD with menus in 1 hour. I am really exited about how fast i was able to create a very nice DVD.
    However i am trying to convert the footage from iMovie into a small (100-200 MB) in a 16:9 format but I am getting very big files that are not as sharp as the original or some other examples i saw on the web such as the examples in this page about the Sanyo DMX-HD1:
    http://www.akihabaranews.com/review-62-SanyoDMX-HD1%2C+everything+except+for+HD%2C+thedisappointment.html
    Would you have any recommendation about the settings to export in quicktime or other format? Which video codec provides the best quality/size ratio? H.264? MPEG4? interlace or not?
    ~Antheo

    I'm not familiar wih HiDef content - look at my hardware specs... I'm based in the early 90ies, way before 1080p etc..
    Prof Pixel made some... observations...
    http://homepage.mac.com/profpixel/color_bars/colorbars.htm
    http://homepage.mac.com/profpixel/iDVDsize.html
    most codecs, which are implemented in Quicktime, are between good and excellent; my personal favorit is mp4, but in this case, I prefer the algorithms of http://isquint.org/; it also offers a h264 converter, which, I've read, should be excelllent, a little faster then Apple's and with excellent results...
    compression depends very much on content and final output media... I'm afraid, you really need to do some tests on your own....

  • Copying files folders display different sizes

    I'm pretty sure I'm not crazy, but isn't it true that when you copy files from one drive to another, the sizes as reported in the Finder may not always be equal even though the actual files may be exactly the same. Nothing fancy here, just a manual drag and drop of about 20 folders with many files in each. In all cases, one drive is displaying consistently smaller folder sizes than the other by <1% and as much as 30%. Should I worry or is this just one of those oddities of sectors and formatting and so on?

    It can vary due to File Allocation Block sizes, but 30 % would either mean a really small file... 1,025 bytes requiring 2 1,024 size block & may report 2048 on one, or one drive is not HFS+, like perhaps FAT32, in which case whole Forks can get lost.
    Or are you talking about the Get info Window that reports in Bytes for size?

  • Two video clips appear as different sizes

    I captured two different clips, and on the capture one is a smaller picture, while the other is a full screen picture.  What did I do wrong, or how can I fix it?
    This is on Adobe Premiere CS5.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    ========================================================
    Edited by moderator to shorten the title

    What are the dimensions of both clips (in pixels)?
    Where are you seeing this problem? In the Source Monitor or the Program Monitor?
    If the clips have different dimensions and you have to use them in the same sequence, then your best bet will be to have the sequence settings match the smaller clip and then scale the larger one to fit the smaller sequence. That's because scaling video up results in noticeable pixelation whereas scaling down looks pretty clean. If the larger clip is also a different aspect ratio than the smaller one (like 16:9 vs 4:3), then you'll probably want to scale it so that the height of the frame fills the screen, which will mean that the edges will be cropped.

  • Illustrator files printing in different sizes than was specified..

    Hi there,
    I am having a problem with some labels I have been making. I specify that I want the document to be 6.5 cm x 10 cm, and after I have laid them out in a page and printed them, I find that they are too big to fit on the surface I measured for. Does anyone know what is going on?

    By how much is the measurement off? What is the printed size of your 6.5 x 10 rectangle?
    What sort of printer are you using?
    I don't recall having had this problem unless I'd done something daft.

  • Two hard drives with exact same files showing different sizes

    I have two WD external drives, one which I'm trying to dedicate solely to Time Machine backups.  In transferring data from the one I intend to use for that purpose to the other, I'm finding that all the files transferred but that the folders register as having different sizes (e.g. one video folder has the same number in each, but on the original disk it was 4.43 GB in total and is only 4.26 GB on the new disk).
    I've read that there could be hidden system files that didn't move, but if that's the case does it matter?  Both drives are the same model but are differently formatted.
    Thanks

    but are differently formatted.
    That could be the cause. Files are not written to a disk in bytes, they are written in blocks that are a minimum size. For instance, if the minimum block size is 1KB, the a 5 byte file will occupy 1KB on the disk. So, depending on the block size of the drive format, you may get different results.

  • Can I reduce video file size on iPad?

    Is there an iOS app - iMovie for instance - that will allow me to reduce video file size on my iPad, without having to use a computer?

    There are various Apps in the App Store that will compress a video file, try search on Video Slimmer or Video Compression.  Another option is to use a different App for recording the video in the first place; I use MoviePro quite extensively, it allows 5 different presets for resolution, bit rate etc. for recording video.

  • Sol10 u8 installed on a ZFS Root File System have different swap needs?

    Does Sol10 u8 installed on a ZFS Root File System have different swap needs/processes?
    Information:
    I've installed Solaris 10 (10/09 s10s_u8wos_08a SPARC, Assembled 16 September 2009) on a half dozen servers and every one of them no longer mount swap at boot.
    The install program commented out the old swap entry and created this one:
    # grep swap /etc/vfstab
    swap - /tmp tmpfs - yes -
    Everything works like a champ. I didn't discover the issue until I tried to install some patches and the install failed. It didn't fail because of lack of swap - it refused to run because it found "No swap devices configured".
    Here are the symptoms:
    # swap -s
    total: 183216k bytes allocated + 23832k reserved = 207048k used, 13600032k available
    # swap -l

    Hi Nitabills,
    I assume that you create a zfs entry for swap with the commande zfs create -V $size
    did you launch the command :
    swap -a /dev/zvol/dsdk/$ZPOOL/swap
    Try this entry below in the vfstab :
    /dev/zvol/dsdk/$ZPOOL/swap - - swap - no -

  • How do I find the size of a video file in iTunes store?

    Is there any way to find out how big a video file is before I download it to my computer? I see that movies show the file size in the product description, but what about episodes of a TV show? Or a complete season? Or a video in iTunes U?
    I tried "right clicking" (or whatever that's referred to on a Mac, sorry, I just recently got my Mac) to get info on a few files, but it says the size is unavailable. I have an iPod Touch I'd like to get videos for, but I don't have a ton of space after putting all my music on it, so that's why I'd like to know the file sizes in advance.

    You can figure for a 1 hour TV show - about 40-45 minutes of video - you will have a file size of about 450-550 meg.
    A movie such as Pirates of the Carri..... will weigh in around 1.6-1.8 gig.

  • Two machines saving the same file as different sizes?

    My coworker and I both have the same version of Illustratir (CS6) and both use Lion on iMacs, but today noticed something weird. He saved a file similar to a file I had done before as both an eps and a pdf and his file size was more than twice what my file sizes usually are. I thought it was odd, so I copied everything from his file into a new file (same dimensions) and saved out an eps and pdf (default settings), and like I thought, my files were less than half the size of his.
    Why would two machines be saving identical files at different sizes? Is there a setting somewhere I'm missing? Everything in the file is vector, if it matters. There's not even any editable text.

    See the mechanism of saving here: http://superuser.com/questions/66825/what-is-the-difference-between-size-and-size-on-disk
    The size of the "blocks" depends on the size of the disk and how it's been formatted.
