Trying to make video smaller but file size comes out larger

I'm not aquainted with how to reduce both the file image and keep the file size small also.
I start out with a 3mb file that has a window of 640 x 474.
I run it through streamclip and re-save export to quicktime with a window size of 320 x 240. I would think that this would cut the file size in half also, but the file, although it now displays in the smaller window size, which I need for placement in a web page, the file size has jumped up to 14mb. Apple Intermediate Codec and 50% quality setting. I don't see how the file has bloated in size to such a great degree.
Please help me discover the error of my ways.

Thanks for responding MartinR, I tried the H.264 codec with MPEG-4 ACC audio and that brought it down to about a 1.5mb filesize on one and 3.5mb filesize on the the other. I still don't know what the discrepancy is to make theme different in file size now, but I do now have two files that work fine on the internet at the new screen size. I appreciate your input and response to my question.

  • Just bought Photoshop Elements 13...I'm trying to make a slideshow but can't figure out how to alter duration time that the slide is on the screen.  They presently move from one to another way too quickly...also need a different pan and zoom option.  Wher

    Just bought Photoshop Elements 13...I'm trying to make a slideshow but can't figure out how to alter duration time that the slide is on the screen.  They presently move from one to another way too quickly...also need a different pan and zoom option.  Where are all the options I had in PS10?  Also...Can I burn this to a DVD?

    The changes have brought improvements but also drawbacks compared with the old slideshow editor.
    The templates are now fairly fixed but I find the “Classic Dark” gives reasonable results with some panning and you can click the audio button and browse you PC for any track. Unfortunately there are only three speed choices linked to the music track. The improvement for most people is that you can now export to your hard drive at 720p or 1080p and upload to sites like YouTube and Vimeo.

  • Trying to email a video and the file size is to large to attach.

    Trying to email a friend a video and it says the file size is to large to attach.  How do I change this?

    Go into your photo-video program and change the file size to the smallest resolution possible. Also limit the video to less than 30 seconds to a minute.
    Then try sending again. The problem you are having is because the file is too large to send via the method you are using.
    Good Luck

    This sounds more like a Windows question, than a Firefox question. When you say that an image shows up every time you open your computer, do you mean every time you turn on your computer, or every time you start Firefox?

  • Media Encoder (AMC) F4V - none of the video setting effect file size????

    When I used to use sorenson squeeze, mov  i could get a web flick down to 15 MB by reducing frame rate or size.
    when using AMC - F4V - no matter what size or settings the same movie satays at about 34MB (with olny slight varistions if i tweek audio)
    How do i get the file size smaller if none of the video setting effect file size????

    In the limited amount of comparison testing I've done, I've found that 2-pass VBR files are consistently smaller than CBR files, all other things being equal. They're not always a great deal smaller, but they've never exceeded the size of the CBR files, and this goes for any type of encoding I've done, whether it's MPEG-2 for a DVD, or a web format like WMV, FLV (VP6), or H.264. This seems to be true even when the target and the maximum bitrate for the 2-pass VBR files match the bitrate "quantity" of the target bitrate of the 1-pass CBR files, and I've noticed this in any encoding application I use, whether it's AME, Sorenson Squeeze, or TMPGEnc Xpress. When analyzing my VBR-encoded files using an application such as MediaInfo, the average bitrate that is reported is never even close to my max bitrate, and is usually well under my target bitrate.
    I see two reasons for this:
    If you're encoding with CBR and set your bitrate at 1000kbps, for instance, the encoder will simply allocate 1000kbps of bandwidth (divided by the frame rate) to each and every frame of video, regardless of how complex or simple each frame is. Each frame will be compressed to as near 1000kbps (divided by the framerate) as possible. Using CBR, you can more or less estimate the end file size by multiplying the bitrate by the duration in seconds. Think of it as filling a series of water glasses: with CBR, you fill each glass full, regardless of how much each individual actually wants to drink.
    If you're encoding with 2-pass VBR and set your maximum bitrate to 1000kbps and (for argument's sake) your target bitrate to 1000kbps as well, the encoder will use the first pass to figure out how much available bandwidth is needed at each individual point of time, and that writes that to a log file that the second pass of the encoder then uses to properly allocate those available bits to the frames that need them the most. If a particular passage of the video can be encoded at a lower bitrate, and still maintain a prescribed level of visual quality, the encoder will simply put the squeeze on a little more. Back to our water glass analogy from above, this is the equivalent of filling each water glass with only as much water as each individual wants.
    For example, using the max/target bitrate set above, a low-motion/low-complexity passage of video may be able to be encoded at only 500kbps and yet maintain the visual quality of 1000kbps. This results in a fewer bytes needed to encode that particular duration of the video, and usually there are multiple sections in a video that can be treated as such. This has a cumulative effect and subsequently results in a final encoded video that has a smaller file size than it would had it be encoded at the same bitrate, but with CBR encoding.
    I'm not a software engineer or mathemagician, so I can't back all this up with empirical evidence, but in real-world practice, these have been my observations. Long story short: I always use 2-pass VBR for web-distributed encodes, and enjoy both smaller and better-looking files, at the expense of a coffee break.

  • How can I make a small swf file out of InDesign

    I have a 200 page book (PDF). I am trying to make a flip book to preview in web browser. How can I make a small swf file out of InDesign with the PDF I have?

    There is another point:
    if you are using JPEG images together with SWF as output file format, you could get smaller images by:
    1. using the Export For Web menu for generating size optimized JPEGs in PhotoShop opposed to Save As JPEG
    2. stripping all color management (ICC) information off the files (SWF is not very good in color management besides sRGB, I think…)

  • Okay so i recorded a song but each part comes out as like take 1, i have 10 takes. how can i put them all together as one take, to make one song all in one take not small pieces of a song.

    okay so i recorded a song but each part comes out as like take 1, i have 10 takes. how can i put them all together as one take, to make one song all in one take not small pieces of a song. like i hit record and sang the entire song but when i hit play it was in pieces not just one song like it was in ten takes. is there any way i can blend it all into one take, to make one clear song?

    You're not very clear in stating your problem. Maybe it's terminology: "takes" in recording lingo (and in GB lingo) are different version of exactly the same part in a song, so you only want one of them in the end. Please tell us exactly what you did and what it is that you don't like.

  • I need to compress an InDesign file to web-quality pdf but file size is still too big. Help!

    I need to compress an InDesign file to web-quality pdf but file size is still too big. Help!

    Hi Bill,
    It sounds like your document has a lot of pages and/or images in it.
    Instead of using the normal InDesign > Export command to create a PDF, you may be able to reduce the file size by printing to a PostScript file, then distilling it to PDF using Acrobat Distiller.

    Trying to make a photobook but can't get pages to open by double clicking. Photos from Iphoto 9.6. Help anybody?

    What do you mean? Are you not able to switch from "All pages" view of the book to a single page view by double-clicking a selected page? Or what is the problem?
    Or can you not open the book at all from the source list?

  • I'm trying to make a photoshop psd file have a hyperlink?

    I'm trying to make a photoshop psd file have a hyperlink when saved as a PDF file for my site Gr8CanineDogs?
    Thanks very much

    Photoshop does not support the creation of PDF hyperlinks, sorry. You will have to use Acrobat or another application to add links after you have generated the PDF. If you google "adding hyperlinks to PDF", you should see a number of options to explore.

  • Reducing file size produces a larger file (?)

    I have a 3.8mb pdf (created in Acrobat 9) that I'd like to reduce in size. It's text only (about 450 pages) and when I select "Reduce file size" Acrobat X goes through steps to optimize it for the web, and it comes out 5.1 mb. Not really much of a reduction in size if it's now a meg and a half larger than the original. Is there a better way to do this that I'm missing here?

    There are many things that could cause the issues. Under the Optimize option (or wherever it went in AAX) there is an audit function that allows you to see where the storage is going. You could compare before and after optimization to see what was happening. You say 450 pages is not much, but that all depends on what is there. If it is a lot of graphics, it could be huge. If you use a lot of different fonts, that can cause extra storage of all those fonts. So there are many variables and sometimes they do get bigger -- happened to me too. Unfortunately, when you are trying to make things smaller, you are often under the gun and don't have time to diddle around. Good luck.

  • Zen video converter problem..the size comes out way to B

    I dont understand I just finished converting a .wmv music video with the software my zen v plus player came with and the file size came out to 98mb when it was originally 20mb. Why does it do that? shouldnt the size be smaller?

    I have also tryed to pass a .avi file into the player and the converter pass the file from 30MB?to 300MB. I have tryed to use a preconverter to leave files smaller, but it doesn't work. Does anybody have a solution?
