Target file size and Bitrates help

I am trying to make my 2minute 40 second video become a file size of no larger than 100MB. Right now it's 470MB and that was after I converted it with MPEG Streamclip to a smaller version that I could upload. Is there an easy way to calculate the maximum bitrate to make your existing video the right size? I noticed some bitrate calculators but none of them are for web video's and I don't see any that have a target file size. Short of taking an encoding class for this project I could use some suggestions.

Export from fcp with current settings and bring that into compressor. Use one of the apple: otherworkflows: web: quicktime 7 compatible.. When you apply them they'll give you an estimate (just an estimate) of the file size in the summary window. It's a good place to start. If you're going to be resizing, I'd strongly recommend that you turn on frame controls in the frame controls panel and set the resizing filter to best.
Once you've found your ideal settings, you can save this customized preset and apply it to other files.

Applet for figuring bitrate based on target file size?

Occasionally when I'm exporting quicktimes for emailing to people with known restrictions on incoming file sizes, I'd love to be able to specify the target file size as opposed to the bitrate.
Does anyone know of any applets that can generate a rough estimate of what you should set the bitrate to in order to achieve a target file size given the length of the clip?
Sounds like a widget in the making to me...

I need to export a photo at around 1meg file size,and dont seem to be able to do it in the presets can anyone help please ,I shoot on a canon 5d

I believe Frank is referring to the end use (e.g., for print or on-screen use).
Until he returns, I can tell you that I ran a quick test using an image from the Aperture 3 training book library which was as follows:
Camera = Canon EOS 5D Mark II
Master resolution = 5616 x 3744 (21 MP)
I was able to export to a JPEG with end file size of 1 MB as follows:
Export Presets drop-down > select 'Edit' option
Selected preset name 'JPEG - 50% of Original Size' > change percentage value to 40% > change DPI value to '300' > click OK to set as current default > Export version to desktop.
The exported JPEG has a resolution of 2246 x 1498 and appears on screen to have the same image quality of the original in Aperture.
Note - I did not change the default Image Quality slider in the Export Preset dialog (which left it at 10).
Basically, you will need to play around with the settings until you find the appropriate values to arrive at an image version you want.

Target File Size Too Large?

Hello,
We have an interface, that takes a Source File-> Transforms it in the Staging Area ->and outputs a Target File.
The problem is the target file is way too large than what it is supposed to be.
We do have the 'Truncate Option' turned ON, so its not duplicate records..
We think its the Physical and Logical Lengths that are defined for the Target files.
We think the logical length is way too large causing substantial 'spaces' between the data columns thereby increasing the file size.
We initially had the Logical Length for the data columns as 12 and we got the following error:
Arithmetic Overflow error converting numeric to data type numeric.
When we increased the Logical Length from 12 to 20 the interface executed fine without errors. But now the target file size is just way too large 1:5
Any suggestions to prevent these additional spaces in the target columns??
Appreciate your inputs!
Thanks

Since 'File-system' does not have a property 'column length', ODI will automatically set a standard 'column length' according to the datatype of the column. In your case, as both your source and target is File, check the max length of each column in your source ( Ex: if your file is huge then open the file in excel and verify the lengths) and set the same 'Logical length' for your target file datastore.
drop the temporary tables (set the 'delete temp objects' option to 'true' in the KMs) and re-run the Interface. hope this helps.
Thanks,
Parasuram.

"target" file size for streaming?

Newbie question #2 (Many thanks in advance!)
I understand that the answer is relative to the uncompressed file size, but I'm trying to figure out a target file size (how small) for a 250 Mb file (a 30-second movie) to stream on the web. Should I be aiming for 25 Mb? 100 Mb? 8 Mb? Just looking for a ballpark, if that's possible.
If this question misses a critical point, feel free to let me know!
Thanks, e

If your going to use h.264 try 400 or 600 kbits/sec for the video (2passes, B-Frames). To tests, copy about 30 seconds of the video into a new Quicktime. If it look good to you then compress the original video. You can go as low as 300 kbit/sec. It all depends on the content of the video as to what bit rate you should use.
As for the audio use AAC at no higher than 128 kbps. You can go lower and use mono. There again it depends on what the audio is.
I just compressed a 320x240 at:
300...1MB
400...1.3MB
600...2.1MB

Urgent:Comparing file size and file hashcode

Hi i am developing an EJB in which I have to dynamically pick the filename,filesize and hashcode of the file.
In case filename exists then it should check for file size and hashcode of the file. if both of these are equal then the processing should stop.
Could anyone provide some help in comparing filesize and hashcode of the file with itself.
Regards
Abhi

read the [File API|http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/io/File.html] .
The file size is a long. and the hashCode is an int. [compare them - they are primitives|http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/java/nutsandbolts/operators.html]

Mov to avi but at a reasonable file size and res.

I want to convert a .mov file to .avi and have the avi at a file size of betwen 20-30MB - at the moment when I export from quicktime pro its' coming up with a file size of over 1GB - any suggestions much appreciated

AVI is a file format and not a compression format. To be able to accomplish your goal here, you need to do two things:
1) Select an AVI compatible audio and video compression format that allows you to limit the audio and video data rates. (I.e., some compression formats have fixed or automatic data rates while others can be limited by the user.)
2) Once you have selected appropriate compression formats, you must calculate the maximum audio + video data rate combination that meets your target file size requirements. Unfortunately, this combined "target" data rate depends on the duration of the file you are creating and, since you did not include this info here, it is not possible for anyone to calculate this for you.

Resize Video, both the file size and actual size

Hi All,
I am very new to Adobe Premiere (CS3). I have had it for a while but not needed to use until now. A client of mine has sent me a video that he wants on his website. But it’s 150M and 1280 * 720. Can anyone help me out with how I can resize both the file size and actual size to say 800 * 450 so it can stream it via the net?
Like I said very new to this,
Cheers,
Mike.

The first thing you need to do is determine just what KIND of file you were sent, so you may start a project that matches the file

Check image details like resolution, dimensions, color mode, file format, file size and file name

I have 1000 images in a folder, i want to check their details like resolution, dimensions, color mode, file format, file size and file name into excel with nice user interface.
Pls help me, m just learning ABCD in VB.

The code in the file at the link below might give you a starting point. Firstly it gives you the opportunity to list all of the properties of a file type and then you can select the properties that you want and the second utility gives you the
opportunity to list the selected properties for all files in a selected folder.
Download and extract the file and open the file in Excel.
Click the first button List Meta Data for One File (Run first)
Navigate to and Select any ONE individual photo file. (Photo files because that is what you indicated you are working with.)
You will be presented with a list of the available properties for the file. Where the Item value is blank, that property is not recorded for the particular file. Different file types have different properties and it is also dependent on how the file
was created but generally if all of the files come from the same source then the same properties are recorded for all files from that source.
Now insert a Y in column D for all of the required properties. (Don't select any with the Item value blank)
Click the second button List Selected Meta Data for all Files in a Folder (Run after selecting the required properties).
Next select a folder where the files reside. (You might need to back up to the folder if dialog is blank because it will not show individual files because the code only allows Folders.)
You will be presented with a report listing all of the selected properties for all of the files in the selected folder.
The user interface is not that great but you can improve on that if you want to with a Userform as you get to know VBA a little better.
Download the file from here.

Options to view file size and type?

Where can I turn on options on an image and get the file size and type?
Thanks.

Stan,
You can see the file type by hovering over the file in Library view and it will show the file name followed by the extension like jpg, nef or tiff.
Alternatively in library mode go to grid view it will pixel size of the files as well as the name of the file withthe format.
If you are not able to see that go to View>View Option.
Check the option show header with label
Hope thatt helps.

Two step import, downsizing image file sizes and/or keeping copies?

hi all,
leonie was kind enough on another thread to suggest a two step import from the iphone in order to make sure that there is no accidental deletion or data loss. my understanding (i'm repeating it here myself in case i am misunderstanding) is that this routine involves 1. importing images into Aperture via the conventional import method and then 2. backing up to iTunes (to save the images) and 3. verifying (visually i think) that the images are in the Aperture database and then if so allow Aperture to delete all the images from the iPhone.
this seems to make sense to me but i realized i had a couple of questions about general "photo hygiene" related to this kind of thing.
1. is there some way to downsize file size after images are imported into Aperture? i take a ton of photos and only some are important to keep at a high resolution and i feel like i am stuck between having a huge Aperture database cluttered with lots of photos at high resolution /or/ turning down the file size and finding that i have an important image that is at a low resolution because i forgot to turn up the file size (i think these are in settings somewhere in my phone) before i took the photo or only realized later that it was important to have this image at higher resolution. if i could downsize while thinking about it in Aperture this seems like it would work.
2. does anyone keep an external copy of their images outside of the Aperture database?
thanks

hi terence,
thank you.
so can i ask if anyone is using an iphone and/or what setting(s) and/or resolution folks are using?
i guess i have a bit of a dilemma in that i take a ton of photos and i only use one at a high resolution while the others can be something as insignificant as a visual note to myself. and it kind of kills me that these could be 1.2 MB in that i have a lot of them. i sort of wish there was a way to downsample imagery since a lot of these are not so important.
anyway. yeah i guess i was wondering if folks do a referenced library or keep an extra copy as a backup (i guess i am 'embedding' images in the library but i forget what i call this in aperture) - and i have started to wonder if there is some utility to doing a referenced library or keeping a backup but this seems like overkill while at the same time a referenced library would allow me the ability to downsample images from what i can tell but i am just guessing here since i haven't tried this method.
thanks.

My mac says that it has 40 gb of movies on it but when i finder search for file size, and for file type it gives me no videos or movies. I have called apple 3 times and each time they do the same thing and then do something that takes awhile to finish so we hang up and then it never works.
Please Help

each time they do the same thing
And what thing might that be?

No, there isn't. The way you're using the file is not recommended. You
should use a review tracker to avoid getting in the way of one another.

Logging software - shrinking file size and keeping timecode

I recently found and downloaded the trial version of InqScribe Transcription Software (http://www.inqscribe.com/index.html).
It seems pretty neat. You can open up and video file in the program and it read the timecode from the file and inserts it into transcript as your typing. It says it can open ANY type of video that Quicktime can view.
Here's my dilemma - I want my clients and producer to use this program to log footage on their PCs out and about. I"m shooting with the Sony NX5 and transcoding to Pro Res LT. Obviously these files are HUGE.
I'd like to find a way that I can shrink the file sizes and keep the original timecode. I thought h.264 would be best. I can also shrink the resolution from 1920x1080 down to something much smaller.
I'm looking for an end product that is compatible with PCs and Macs, around 500mbs or less, and has the original TC.

Resize to 480x270. The data rate before compression will be 1/16 of the 1920x 1080 image. Add H.264 Quicktime compression and you'll have a small file. Verify with the company that it can read h.264 files.
When you do the conversion use Compressor and turn off Frame Controls when you do the resizing.The encoding will go much faster.
