Too large of a file size when exporting to Quicktime

In '08 when I export my movie to Quicktime the file is quite large, more so than the normal +1 or 2 mb increase from exporting to quicktime results in '06. How do I get back to the smaller file. The file I am exporting right now is 4.5 mb on imovie '08 but turns into a 20mb file after expoting.
Here is what I am doing. Exporting the imovie to quickime for streaming purposes on my website. I use 'export to quicktime' under share and then choose 'Movie to Quicktime Movie' in the 'Save Exported File As and I adjust the 'options' with these settings:
compression: H.264
Quality: Low
Key Frame Rate: 24
Frame Rendering: yes
Encoding mode: multi-pass
Dimension: 320 x 180
Scale : Letterbox
-I am using 16:9 aspect ratio when I import from my camera to iMovie '08.
-I then upload the quicktime movie to 'Vital Stream Small Business Services' and copy ad paste the link onto the back end of my web site. The final result ended in this when I used '06 http://www.legendsgrouprealty.com/Listings_Details.cfm?PropertyID=30, now with the new movie I made with 08' the movie takes quite a while to 'download/stream'.
Any help would be great, hope I provided enough info.
Thank You.

You have somewhat more control over the size of the output if you use the "Limit data rate to..." option instead of the automatic mode controlled by the quality slider.
You didn't mention the frame rate setting that you are using. Did you leave it at "current"?
The other thing you can do is load up a movie exported from iMovie '06 and one exported from iMovie '08 into Quicktime, then click on Window -> Show Movie Inspector, and compare the values. Make sure everything listed under "Format" is the same, then check the data rate.

  • Large PDF file sizes when exporting from InDesign

    Hi,
    I was wondering if anyone knew why some PDF file sizes are so large when exporting from ID.
    I create black and white user manuals with ID CS3. We post these online, so I try to get the file size down as much as possible.
    There is only one .psd image in each manual. The content does not have any photographs, just Illustrator .eps diagrams and line drawings. I am trying to figure out why some PDF file sizes are so large.
    Also, why the file sizes are so different.
    For example, I have one ID document that is 3MB.
    Exporting it at the smallest file size, the PDF file comes out at 2MB.
    Then I have another ID document that is 10MB.
    Exporting to PDF is 2MB (the same size as the smaller ID document)... this one has many more .eps's in it and a lot more pages.
    Then I have another one that the ID size is 8MB and the PDF is 6MBwhy is this one so much larger than the 10MB ID document?
    Any ideas on why this is happening and/or how I can reduce the file size.
    I've tried adjusting the export compression and other settings but that didn't work.
    I also tried to reduce them after the fact in Acrobat to see what would happen, but it doesn't reduce it all that much.
    Thanks for any help,
    Cathy

    > Though, the sizes of the .eps's are only about 100K to 200K in size and they are linked, not embedded.
    But they're embedded in the PDF.
    > It's just strange though because our marketing department as an 80 page full color catalog that, when exported it is only 5MB. Their ID document uses many very large .tif files. So, I am leaning toward it being an .eps/.ai issue??
    Issue implies there's something wrong, but I think this is just the way
    it's supposed to work.
    Line drawings, while usually fairly compact, cannot be lossy compressed.
    The marketing department, though, may compress their very large TIFF
    files as much as they like (with a corresponding loss of quality). It's
    entirely possible to compress bitmaps to a smaller size than the
    drawings those bitmaps were made from. You could test this yourself.
    Just open a few of your EPS drawings in Photoshop, save as TIFF, place
    in ID, and try various downsampling schemes. If you downsample enough,
    you'll get the size of the PDF below a PDF that uses the same graphics
    as line drawing EPS files. But you may have to downsample them beyond
    recognition...

  • File Size when Exporting to PDF

    Hi!
    I have a script that exports InDesign documents to PDF, but when I export it, the file size is too big.  The document is a product brochure so there are a lot of images.  Is there any way that I can make the file size smaller besides the Image Compression in Adobe PDF Preset?  I plan on creating a custom preset.  I tried the [Smallest File Size] preset but the quality of the images is not good.
    Thanks!

    It's unrelated to the script you are using.
    This has been discussed over and over in the general forum, but it boils down to:
    If you have lots of images, there is no way you can have a small file AND good image quality. One of them has to suffer.
    That said, you can inspect and possibly clean up your PDF withAcrobat Pro.

  • Huge file size when export

    Ok so i use Premiere CS3 and when I want to export my video (one single audio track and one image as 'video', total of 5 - 6 minutes) i get a file size of 1.26 GB (!). The imported files have a total size of lower than 10MB. What I do is i export -> movie and choose AVI format. I've tried PAL & NTSC but there is only a slight difference in file size. How is it possible that this exported movie is so big?

    when you choose avi format you will see something called " settings" ...when you open that up what do you have selected for your settings ??
    when you take a still image which is one little image...with a low byte count....and make it a "video" you are duplicating that little image many times...for example, at 30 frames per second, you are making thirty of those little images for every one second of video time.
    If you then multiply 30 of those images (per second) by the total amount of time of the video you get a WAY bigger file size than what you put on the timeline....know what I mean ??
    by using some "settings" on the avi file you may be able to "compress" the video a bit more than you currently are...but you will never get the same size file because you are making many frames ( still images) per second and all that adds up to a bigger file

  • Minimising PDF file size when exported form KN on iPad

    Hi guys
    when exporting KN presentations as PDF's from my iPad is there any way to reduce file size?

    on an iPad air

    There are no quality settings in exporting to PDF on the iPad, these settings are available on the Mac version.

  • Hitting a specific file size when exporting from Flash CS5

    I need to export three banners to .swf from flash and they all need to be under 61K.  They all use photographs and are 5-7 seconds long each and the dimentions are 300x250 px, 300x600 px & 728x90 px.  Is there any way I can put in the specific file size in the program and make it under 61k?  I tried using the publish settings and lowering the quality and even at 40% quality the file size only went down 20KB from 147 to 127.  If you cannot do that in the program is there any third party programs that can be used to do this?  Thanks for your help!

    What you should do is set the Publish Settings to generate a size report.  That way you will have a detailed listing of what each element of the design contributes to the file weight.  I would guess that the images are going to be the heavy hitters, so you might need to use image software to optimize them as much as possible before importing them into Flash.

  • Imp-00020 long column too large for column buffer size (22)

    Hi friends,
    I have exported (through Conventional path) a complete schema from Oracle 7 (Sco unix patform).
    Then transferred the export file to a laptop(window platform) from unix server.
    And tried to import this file into Oracle10.2. on windows XP.
    (Database Configuration of Oracle 10g is
    User tablespace 2 GB
    Temp tablespace 30 Mb
    The rollback segment of 15 mb each
    undo tablespace of 200 MB
    SGA 160MB
    PAGA 16MB)
    All the tables imported success fully except 3 tables which are having AROUND 1 million rows each.
    The error message comes during import are as following for these 3 tables
    imp-00020 long column too large for column buffer size (22)
    imp-00020 long column too large for column buffer size(7)
    The main point here is in all the 3 tables there is no long column/timestamp column (only varchar/number columns are there).
    For solving the problem I tried following options
    1.Incresed the buffer size upto 20480000/30720000.
    2.Commit=Y Indexes=N (in this case does not import complete tables).
    3.first export table structures only and then Data.
    4.Created table manually and tried to import the tables.
    but all efforts got failed.
    still getting the same errors.
    Can some one help me on this issue ?
    I will be grateful to all of you.

    Thanks, but this note is for older releases, 7.3 to 8.0...
    In my case both export and import were made on a 11.2 database.
    I didn't use datapump because we use the same processes for different releases of Oracle, some of them do not comtemplate datapump. By the way, shouldn't EXP / IMP work anyway?

  • Stop images from losing file size when scaled down?

    Ive read this tutorial;
    http://joedasilva.com/blog/?p=32
    and ive just found out that if you scale an image smaller,
    the file size is permanently decreased, and enlarging the image
    again will make it pixalated. If im working with images and I want
    a lot of freedom to play around with the scaling, do I need to
    convert them all to grafics?
    Is there a setting I can change so that the images are saved
    at the display resolution when I export them, but maintain there
    full file size when in the document? Is this how illustrator works?
    thanks

    There is no such a thing as a "grafic." In your Fireworks
    document, you can have bitmap objects and vector objects. Bitmap
    objects, such a photographs, are rectangular objects with detailed
    information, where the color and transparency of each pixel is
    specified. Vector objects are mathematical objects, where the shape
    is determined by nodes and the color is determined by the fill
    type. You cannot convert a bitmap object to a vector object
    (although you can sometimes create a vector illustration that
    resembles a photograph).
    If you are still experimenting with your design, what you can
    do is add a layer with your original-sized bitmap objects. Put this
    layer at the bottom of your stack and keep it hidden. Then, anytime
    you feel a need to refresh an object that you've resized too many
    times, copy that object from your originals layer. It may not be a
    perfect solution, but it should help you.
    I've never had a problem with multiply resizing photos,
    myself, because I design my layouts with vector shapes first. Once
    I have all my proportions set,
    then I add any photos I have. With this worflow, I know what
    size to make my photos. Of course, I might change my mind, later,
    but my process keeps me on track.

  • File size on export

    I need to know the file size that will be generated when exporting jpegs for web use, as certain sites have restrictions. This is a fairly basic function and is available in Elements.
    I currently have to guess a quality setting, export the jpeg, check the file size in Explorer, re-export from LR (reducing quality/pixel limits if the file size is too big) and continue the iterations until I achieve an acceptable size.
    This facility should be available for all export file-type options.

    I agree, but I think this has to go beyond the file size.
    The problem is that if you are exporting more than one jpeg, even with the same number of pixels and quality, the file sizes will be different due to compression.
    To make this work, it'd be nice to be able to set a Maximum File Size to Export. Then perhaps a Radio Button to choose between adjusting the size in pixels or adjusting the quality to fit as needed.

  • Reduce Doc Size When Exporting

    Is there a way to reduce a page size when exporting from InDesign? I have a 20 x 30 poster want to export at 50% and make the pdf @ 10 x 15. Thanks.

    by print to pdf do U mean make a ps file instead of exporting, correct?
    Well, here's the thing... the orig question was a generalization of what we are trying to do.
    The actual file is 19 pgs of panels that are 20 x 30. We need to make pdfs for the client to look at on screen. The file is huge when we try to make pdfs by exporting... even at the smallest file size and then reduce file in Acrobat. We found that reducing the doc size & making pdf yields a much smaller and more manageable file size, but it takes very long to postscript. We were just trying to avoid that step. Thought for sure the was a way to reduce the output size when exporting.

  • I'm no longer able to select the file size when emailing a photo. How can I solve this? iPhone 4S with iOS 7.1.1

    I'm no longer able to select the file size when emailing a photo. How can I solve this? iPhone 4S with iOS 7.1.1. Thanks a lot.

    Yeah - I tried that, several times; each time I get "iTunes is restoring the software on this iPhone" and after about 30 minutes the screen on the phone lights up again with the same screen I had before.  After that ... nothing.

  • Maximum file size for export into MP4?

    Hello,
    I am not able to export 2 hour HD video into standard MP4 file. It seems that reaching 100% export algorithm gets into loop. I was waiting for hours and still had seen progress at exactly 100% with final file size on hard disk to be 0 bytes. I am using CS5 on MAC OS X. I had to split my timeline to 2 parts and to export them separately (which is embarrasing). Is there something like maximum file size for export? I guess that 2h video would have about 25-35GB.
    Thank you
    jiri

    You are right.
    So I am running AP Pro 5.0.4, Adobe Media Encoder 5.0.1.0 (64bit). Operating system Mac OS X ver 10.7.3. All applications are up to date.
    MacBook Pro Intel i5 2.53GB, 8GB RAM, nVidia GT 330M 256 MB, 500GB HDD
    Video is 1920x1080 (AVCHD) 25fps in a .MTS container  (major part of timeline), 1280x720 30fps in .MOV container (2mins), Still images 4000x3000 in .JPG
    No error message is generated during export - everything finishes without any problem...just file created has 0 byte size (as described above).
    This is my largest video project (1h 54min) I dont have any other problem with other projects.
    I dont run any other special software, at the moment of export all usual applications are closed so that MacBook "power" can go to Media Encoder. No codecs installed, using VLC Player or Quick Time.
    Attached please find printscreen from Export settings (AP Pro). Writing this ppost I tried to export only the first 4mins from timeline where all kind of media is used...and it was OK.
    As a next step I will try to export (same settings) 1h 30mins as I still believe problem comes with length of video exported.
    Let me know your opinion

  • File sizes when burning in different formats

    Like many people, most songs in my playlists are MP3s/MPEG.
    If I want to burn 20 songs as an Audio CD (to play in a car's CD player) and select same in Preferences>Advanced, I understand that the files will be uncompressed to something like AVI format.
    My playlists show (at the bottom) file sizes of 50MB to 70MB. Obviously, the real size when uncompressed is something nearer 700MB. It means a bit of guesswork as to how many songs I can burn on one CD.
    Similarly, when burning Data CDs, the file size will be much reduced.
    Is there a way I can ascertain the exact file size when burning in different formats?

    +"It means a bit of guesswork as to how many songs I can burn on one CD."+
    For audio CDs, there is no guesswork required. At the bottom of the playlist that you are about to burn, you will see the number of songs and the total time. If the time is under 80 minutes, the list will fit on a normal audio CD. If it is approximate, like "1.2 hours," click on it and it will change to exact hours, minutes, seconds.

  • In aperture 3.4.5, I get unsupported file error when exporting version of photo I've edited using plugins?

    In aperture 3.4.5, I get unsupported file error when exporting version of photo I've edited using plugins. I have try reinstalling aperture three times, deleting plists a few times, reinstalling plugins, restarting my MacBook Pro many times. Everything I've tried may fix the problem for a very short while and I can export a few photos before it returns. The problem happens with topaz and photomatrix pro plugins after I edited and try to export version.

    I had the same problem with the Photomatix plug-in and this solved it for me. I realised it only happened with Photomatix and not other plug-ins so I checked where the plug-ins were installed. The Photomatix plug-in was installed in
    ~/Library/Application Support/Aperture/Plug-Ins/
    where ~ is the home location for the current user account. All the other plug-ins however were installed in
    Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/Aperture/Plug-Ins/
    which is the location that makes them available to all user accounts on your Mac. Moving the Photomatix plug-in to this location solved the problem for me.
    Note that the Library directory under the first location is normally hidden, to get to it hold down the Option (Alt) key and select it from the Finder Go menu.
