Video Compression to Big even in H.264

Hello, I'm currently working on a AE project. It is a simple project made out of 13 videos. Each video is like 3.0 MB, I have send my comp to video composer using the "Add to adobe media encoder" Menu.
I have set the video up in Media encoder but when i choose a compression of h.264 with the you tube HD preset the file gets like a 700mb size.
Each video is no longer that 1 minute, the file type for the videos is mp4 I downloaded them from you tube. The size of the composition is 10 minutes. All of the files together are 29.00 mb
I am using the latest AE and AME versions CC 2014. I can upload the file which is like 30mb of size so someone can take a look at it if requested, If somebody can help i will appreciated.
Thanks

Hey Flix,
I'm currently not using the youtube preset, will try that in a minute.
I'm also not using my previews to render, and exporting at target: 20 mb/s and max 25 mb/s
This is a screenshot of my current settings:
Framerate, fieldorder, aspect ratio aso. are mathed to source.

Solution to AVC/H.264 MPEG4 video compression Audio Sync Issue

Been trying to find an solution to this problem for a year now - one would think Adobe would have addressed themselves but....
I have the Xacti E1 camera and it utilizes the AVC/H.264 MPEG4 video compression that both Premier Elements 4 & 7 plus Pro CS4 have sync issues with.
What I did was use Quicktime Pro to convert the Audio ONLY to wave – very fast actually. So basically in Premier I added the original MPEG4 video to the timeline, removed its messed up audio, replaced it with the Quicktime Pro wav file then regroup the wav audio and video to keep it clean.

Sure!
Would be nice if Adobe addressed the problem as this std is used by most flash based video cameras

No Preview Box in "Standard Video Compression Settings"

Hi:
I'm taking a class in Photoshop CS5. Our textbook is Adobe Photoshop CS5 Classroom in A Book and we've reached Lesson 12 Working with 3D Images. At the end of the chapter we made a 3 second Quicktime (H.264 Compression) movie. According to the book, after choosing Quicktime Export in the Render Video diolog box, it should open a Movie Settings diolog box which, after choosing Videe Settings button, opens the Standard Video Compression Settings box. In the lower right of that box there should be a Preview window showing the effect of the compression on a frame of the animation. For me the preview window is blank even though I can compress the file. I've moved the animation's timeline current time indicator to the beginning, middle, and end of the animation but to no effect.
I'm rumming a Macbook 2 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo with 4 GB of SDRAM. The computer does support OpenGL which appears to be chosen in the 3D section of Photoshop's preferences.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Don't worry about file size at this point; the determining factor is program length. A single layer 4.7GB DVD will hold about two hours of video. The compression is handled in the DVD authoring application.
From FCE, just export to QuickTime Movie (do not use QT Conversion). If you'll burn the DVD on the same computer, make sure the "self-contained" box is unchecked for a much quicker export.

I am having problems exporting my time lapses from quick time pro i need to save my files as photo jpegs but the standard video compression window will not open fully,

i am having problems exporting my time lapses from quick time pro i need to save my files as photo jpegs but the standard video compression window will not open fully, it just keeps my mac (old 1.6Ghz 2.5 GB sdram G5 still good for most stuff i need) spinning for ever but i can see compression type H.264 selected and the other setting but i can not select any other options as it still thinking but never opens! why is this happening how do i get round it?
my work flow is: 300 images shot on a 5d mark II medium jpegs opened in Light Room cropped to 16:9 then exported and opened in quick time i can save a .mov H264 giving me files sizes of 14 mb for a 16 second time lapse, mp4 9 mb. the only way i can get large files is saving as a self contained movie then i get 300mb files.
i need to save my files 1920 x 1080 photo jpeg codec as i want HD quality.
i am sure there is a simple way round this?
thanks guys!

It is very difficult to offer troubleshooting suggestions when the "os version" you are using is unknown as each os has their own troubleshooting solutions.
How large is your hard drive and how much hard drive space do you have left?

Using BlackMagic Intensity Pro Video Compression card with FCP in a MacPro

BlackMagic is offering the Intensity Pro card that they claim is enhancing the quality of video compression for better results than software driven compression, even with Standard DV in addition to HDV, and at a surprisingly cheap cost (less than $300).
http://www.h-digital.com.au/hardware/hardwareview.asp?id=152
As someone used such hardware driven compression card in a MacPro ?
Does-it really help making better quality DVDs?
If not are there better hardware driven compression card?

7-8 years ago, we said that analog video was at the low end and DV was at the high end.
Uh, DV was NEVER on the high end. Digibeta and Beta were analog, and were HIGHER end than DV. Just because it was digital doesn't mean it was better. DV is compressed 5:1 and has 4:1:1 color sampling. Beta was 4:2:2 and better than DV...and Digibeta was and still is the high end SD format. DVCPRO 50 a close second. No...DV came in on the low end...like HDV comes in on the low end of the HD spectrum.
If this Intensity card does not help to get better compression than software driven compression, is there another card which can do so ?
Well, I answered this, but you must have missed my answer, so I will bold it for you: *THERE IS NO CARD OUT THERE FOR THE MAC THAT WILL AID IN DVD COMPRESSION.* I don't know about the PC side, so I make the statement to include MAC only. There are several hardware solutions for encoding DVDs that distributors use when making the theatrical DVDs like OCEANS 13...but those are separate hardware encoders. And no, again, those encoders are not available on a Mac.
What I mean at the end is to find ways to have higher quality DVDs than when using software such as Compressor. Do you follow me ?
I follow you....you aren't following me. Since I am an editor and not a distributor, I don't know what those solutions are. They exist outside of the editing world, so you have to GOOGLE this or look elsewhere. Needless to say, the Intensity does not aid in this. No capture card does. That is not what they are designed for. They are designed to capture non-firewire formats and to output to non-firewire formats...not to aid in DVD compression.

Video compression h264/MPEG-4 AVC

hi guys,
I need to export a file in mp4 container with h264 compression. The result shows h.264/MPEG-4 AVC compression which is h.264, right? If I undestood it right h.264 and MPEG-4 AVC compression is the same thing, right? just wanted to be sure...
thanks and have a nice day!

thanks
I had already tried but not working
The video is ok with all the preset that match 720p ...but not the audio
...i think is a codec issue

Video compression in After Effects

Hi,
i have a little problem with video compression in After Effects.When I was looking for example on that video: http://vimeo.com/18672227 the quality in HD is really great. When we was trying to compress our video in After Effects, the best result, which we was able to get, had 80 MB and 18 seconds and the quality was still much worst than like the one which i posted above. 80 MB for only 18 secs of video and with that quality seems too much for me. I really doubt it is normal. Then for example video which i posted above should have 2000 MB and i really don't believe that.
Is there some way how to get HD quality video for internet streaming with affordable size from After Effect rendering compression? Which settings, formats or codecs I should use? Or do i need some other Adobe program which is builded for this better compressions?

You are looking for an easy answer where there is none. Yes, there are better tools than AE for final compression like Adobe Media Encoder, but your format will still be H.264. The rest is very much a matter of experience and a combination of settings for data rates, encoding passes and so on plus tricks on how to deal with Gamma shifts and color skewing due to the chroma undersampling. Without seeing the actual footage, nobody will be able to give you any exact pointers, but generally the presets you find in AE and AME will provide a good basis. The rest is just tippy-toeing through the settings and learning by doing. Also do some general research on the matter. Because it is so complex and difficult, this topic is discussed to death on pretty much every forum that deals with video editing, DVD/ BluRay authoring and ripping movies for fun...

PremierePro4 Help with Capture Video Compression Options

Last week I started converting my old VHS tapes using a Canopus ADVC 110 box, a Mac with OSX 10.4.11, and PremierePro 4.0.0.
Everything went fine until last night when I lost my compression choices in Premiere - Capture Settings - Video - Compression.
Previously I had numerous compression type options and was using either DVCPro or DVCPro50. There were also many others available.
Now, I only see DVCPro50 when my Canopus is attached as the source. If I remove the Canopus my iSight becomes the source and its only compression type is Y'CbCr 4:2:2 - uyvy.
Thus far, I restarted and replugged everything, verified permissions, and unloaded and reloaded Premiere. None of that works.
I suspect there is something running interference somewhere that I need to delete or reset.
Help is greatly welcomed. Thanks

I am also not sure how Mac OS updates affect other things, but on the PC, they can kill a video driver, or an audio driver instantly, and often do. However, those PC-specific behaviors should have zero impact on your options drop-downs going missing. I was just thinking aloud there.
I'm trying to think of what else might have changed, as when something works one day, but not the next, then something has changed, and the task is to find out what it was.
I know that iTunes usually also updates QT, and that is why I do not allow it to update, until I am positive that the PC version of QT is a good one with Adobe products - not all have been, so I am skitterish.
On the PC, QT loves to install and go and seize the file associations of everything that it can play, unless one does a manual install. I wonder if QT Player was also installed with your iTunes? Also not sure how a Mac does the file type association linking, but on the PC, if certain programs loose their file associations, then strange things can happen. I assume that you are doing your Capture to MOV (you probably said in the OP, but I've forgotten), so I wonder if QT has messed with the file type. Wish I could tell you where to even start, but I cannot. No one ever lets me near their Mac's, as all PC-users are bad joux-joux!
Just thinking aloud again, but good luck,
Hunt

Previews questions from link - "preview folder so big, even after purging the 1:1"

Can someone clear this up a bit?
My LR 2.1 preview folder is at 12gb, and I want to get that under control. After reading all of the threads here about previews it seems one of the best choices is just delete the folder and then let LR 2.1 rebuild it. But before I do that I want to set my preview options correctly. The info below (found in another thread) is good, but confusing at the same time.
1) "You have 4 choices: 1024, 1440, 1680 and 2048. If all you want is standard-sized then choose a size equal to or slightly less than your screen size" Is this based on the long edge of your screen size? long edge meaning 1280.
2) "Now take the example of a larger camera, say a 8MP camera such as the Canon 1DMKII with an image size of 3504 by 2336 pixels. With the standard-sized set at 1680 pixels the full-size will again be purged (i.e. 3504/2=1752 pixels, which is greater than 1680 pixels)". This formula looks to be saying the long edge, correct?
Am I understanding this correctly? This looks to be saying;
A) standard previews uses your screen size.
B) 1:1 previews uses images pixel sizes?
C) you only have one setting to control previews for standard and 1:1? (that being the "You have 4 choices: 1024, 1440, 1680 and 2048")
This is interesting because in my case my screen size in 1280, but most all my Nikon D3 images are 42xx. So if I want to keep my previews folder clean and growth controlled, I should basically set my previews option to the lowest 1024? And one more interesting tid bit, how does a cropped image play into the 4 choices? Say I crop a 42xx image to oh say 2024, then my 1:1 for that image will never be purged? I'm probably missing something here, and it wouldnt be the first time.
Why is the Lightroom preview folder so big, even after purging the 1:1 previews?
Ian Lyons - 05:18am Aug 18, 2008 Pacific
1:1 or full-size previews take up a large amount of HD space, often many 10's of GB's. This is why building them on demand is an alternative to building them up front, and why you have options for auto or manually purging them. That said, it may not always be possible to delete 1:1 previews - more later.
Standard-sized previews are based on the pixel size option you chose in Catalog Settings. You have 4 choices: 1024, 1440, 1680 and 2048. If all you want is standard-sized then choose a size equal to or slightly less than your screen size. Lr also builds smaller versions at the same time. These are used for the thumbnail, 1:2, 1:3 and 1:4 zoom levels. Adobe call this the "preview pyramid".
1:1 previews will not be deleted unless your chosen standard-sized preview is less than half the size of the full-sized preview. For example, you have images with pixel dimensions of 3072 by 2048 pixels (6MP camera such as Canon 10D) and have selected 1680 pixels for standard-sized previews. Since a 1680 pixel preview is more than half the size of the original the full-sized preview will be kept, even after using the purge 1:1 preview command. Had you chosen 1440 pixel for standard-sized previews then the full-sized would have been purged (i.e. 3072/2=1536, which is greater than 1440). Now take the example of a larger camera, say a 8MP camera such as the Canon 1DMKII with an image size of 3504 by 2336 pixels. With the standard-sized set at 1680 pixels the full-size will again be purged (i.e. 3504/2=1752 pixels, which is greater than 1680 pixels).
thanks,
Donnie

The chance of an answer is inversely proportional to the length of the posting. ;)
You do not indicate what your preview setting was while you accumulated a 12Gb preview folder. Nor do you indicate how many images are in your catalog.
Given your screen size of 1280 (laptp?) I would set the preview size to 1440 since this is still far less than half of your D3 images.
Cropping - I'll safely guess - has no effect on your preview size choices.
I confess that preview sizing and purging is confusing. I avoid the confusion by shouting "more disk, mama".

Adjust video compression within iWeb?

Is there any way to adjust the QT video compression when posting movies via iWeb? Currently, my wife opens iWeb, and then selects movies from within the media pane (specifically, the iPhoto library). These have not been compressed in iPhoto, and as she's not very techie, I don't want her to have to go through that hassle.
It seems strange that, from within iWeb, there is no video settings for compression. Right now, a 30 second video can be 50 MB or more. That is ridiculous.
Any thoughts on how to compress without adding a bunch of complicated steps?

Yes, it's very ridiculous that an application for creating webpages has no features for compressing video.
And the movies in iPhoto are usually the raw material that comes out of a camera. They have to be edited too.
Perhaps an application for editing movies does what you want. iMovie comes to mind. What a burden.

Video Compression Help

Hey guys and gals,
I just finished my music video assignment for media production class and everyone thought it was really good, albeit a bit weird haha. I want to put it up on YouTube or Google Video but I dont want it to look crappy. I have like 10 videos on Google but the quality could be better. I want the music video to look as good as possible. Do any of you know of any tips you could give me for video compression? I have Handbrake and tried playing around with that but the videos still look pixilated on Google and YouTube.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

HD Video Compression Issue

I'm looking for information on weather or not Flash CS5 (I currently use Flash 8) can handle HD video compression for web streaming. I have tried this using Flash 8 but only get an error, however as you might expect Flash 8 does compress standard definition video for web streaming. I have done research on the internet, but really haven't come up with a definite answer except to find references to using Sorenson Squeeze or Final Cut Pro, but I don't want to pay for another Video editing program (currently using Final Cut Express) if I can upgrade Flash and get the HD compression feature.
Any help and advise would be apreciated. Thanks

If you're publishing for Flash 9 or higher (which CS5 can do) then you can publish to H.246. I would think that FCE could do that.
Normally I would say that you could download a trial and see for yourself. But I think because 5.5 has been announced Adobe isn't offering a trial for the next couple of weeks. There were a lot of improvement to the Flash video encoder in CS5. That being said if you really want to do a lot of intense video work you should get the best tools.

Video compression on Zen Neeo

Hello all!
I was bought a Zen Neeon 2 GB from Japan as a gift recently. I'm quite fond of it so far, no problems getting music on and off or with the radio and getting videos on and off and converting them is fine too.
BUT (yes, there's always a but) the video compression on the video converter software isn't up to much. An AVI of an hour long, full size, decent quality episode of spooks for example, runs through the converter software and whilst the picture obviously shrinks, the file doubles in size to about 900 mb, leaving no space for anything else! Does anyone know of a way to compress the files in the right format? I have tried loking for firmware / software updates but it seems the player has only been released in japan and I can't use that bit of the creative site!
Any ideas? How can I compress files for this player?

Hi! I also encountered the same problem [size="6" color="#ff0000">I wish I bought ipod instead of this JUNK!

Published site won't load. Are my video files too big?

I'm a video editor and have published a site through iWeb. I have about 8 movie files on the site. The site never fully loads. Are my video files too big? If so, what would you recommend the average MB's should be?

You need to use a movie player that doesn't require the files to load with the webpage...
