Video for PPT

Needing to convert a few videos that were shot in a studio and place them into a ppt presentation. Does anyone know the best export setting to use? The few I have tried kill the quality or are to lager for PPT to play correctly.
using FCP 7
Tired WMP but will only render 30sec or a 3 min video.

and if I remember correctly, wmv's are the only video format that you can actually embed in a powerpoint page in windows. Other formats may work, but they launch a separate player window.
semantics
No its not semantics, your post is technically incorrect and misleading for anyone trying to work with Powerpoint and video.
Only Quicktime movies will launch in a separate window, all other playable files using Powerpoint will play within the Powerpoint window. Powerpoint has not changed how it handles video since before Windows 95, thats 16 years ago.

  • Presenter for syncing 1hr video to PPT slides

    I'm looking for a solution to sync a 1 hr video to PPT
    slides. I came across Presenter but I seems from what I can tell
    only allows videos PER slide and not 1 video with cuepoints for all
    slides. Is that correct? Can anyone recommend a solution that I can
    use for this?
    thanks

    Hmm. I see I can edit the XML to call the same files by
    adding the <video> node, but it doesnt seem to be very
    precise as it loads each slide. There are overlaps in words and
    missing words even when the time codes are the same.
    For example:
    slide 1
    <video url="video_heads_258_2_28170.flv"
    StartTime="0.000000" StopTime="25000.000000" MuteAudio="0"
    IsH264="0"/>
    slide 2
    <video url="video_heads_258_2_28170.flv"
    StartTime="25000.000000" StopTime="33000.000000" MuteAudio="0"
    IsH264="0"/>
    Its a shame you can't load a movie with cuepoints and trigger
    the slides. definitely a bummer.

  • "Preparing video for display"

    I've been working on a project for a month for a convention, and made 7 videos for it. Everything worked fine, as long as I was using ProRes footage.
    The convention is done, and I'm trying to make a DVD of the proceedings. I've got an hour long timeline, and adding PPT slides that I converted to PNG on V2. Every time I slide a clip on V2, I get the "Preparing video for display" message, and I have to endure a 15 second wait.
    So, I'm wondering if it's PNG, or whether it's simply that my project has gotten too big and unwieldy.

    That's usually a sign that your graphics card is not keeping up.
    How many sequences do you have open in FCP?
    Are you displaying Audio Waveforms? Thumbnails?
    What size are the PNGs?

    I've been reading the comments re FCPX on MacBook Pro and now I'm scared. I'm taking a class in FCPX and thinking about buying to do videos for nonprofits. Won't be fancy stuff, but now wonder if it's a good choice. Also, a classmate who was in CA last weekend said he heard that Apple will drop support of FCPX. Any truth? Advice?. I'm on 10.7.4 with 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB 1067 MHz. Thanks.

    While it is against the TOU of these boards to speculate on future products/updates what Thomas said is right: FCPX is quite a new product and it doesn't make any sense to drop it now.
    The only thing that MIGHT get dropped at a certain point is support for older hardware/OS as FCP X progresses.

  • Making an explanatory video for users of Azure

    I went to MSDN to post a question to a forum on Azure, but when I click 'ask a question' it takes me here to "machine learning" instead of to "features", "pricing" etc..  
    Anyway, the question is this.  I had a trial version of Azure, and I put up maybe 800 meg of videos and I also used Azure media services to get URLS to them that I could view in a webpage.
    I looked at my costs (my bill), and it looked like I was only getting charged about a dollar a month.
    I couldn't believe this, and since I also did not know how to terminate my account, or even delete the storage that I was using up, I just stopped paying.  
    Now, I want my website users to get their own storage from Microsoft, and I want to give them an explanatory video that shows them how to use Azure media services so that they can store their own videos, and also post the URL to my website, where they can
    watch those videos with some features added by my website.
    But I need to be sure I understand the billing, before I create this tutorial video for them.  
    If they put up perhaps 40 videos of 100 meg each (4000 meg is about 4 Gigabytes) and use the media services etc.  Are they really only going to be charged a few dollars a month?
    Thanks,

    Hi Gidmaestro,
    A Media Service account is tightly coupled with one (or more) storage accounts. If you already have a storage account, you may choose to assign it to your new Media Service account. Please refer to
    http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/storage/ for the azure storage billing details.

    You will need an external drive that is formatted as MAC OS EXTENDED (journaled).
    Move the Project, Events, and any photos and music to the external drive by following the instructions in this post.
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4141
    Be sure to use CONSOLIDATE MEDIA to get the photos and music. Then plug this drive into your computer and you will be able to edit.

  • Is there a way to "center" video for DVD distribution?

    This may be a long story so hear me out...
    For the past year or so, after every great sports win by my alma mater Michigan State University I make a highlight video for web distribution. My workflow for doing so goes like this:
    1. Record straight to DVD from Tivo or live TV using Panasonic ES10 recorder
    2. Extract clips using Cinematize (uncompressed full quality setting, automatic adjustment 640x480)
    3. Import clips into Final Cut Pro and edit
    4. Export full quality uncompressed Quicktime
    5. Export H.264 for web viewing
    Well this work has found the attention of someone in the East Lansing (where MSU is) city council. They would like me to throw together a short little video to be played at bars in East Lansing after the MSU mens basketball tournament games.
    I have done a few tests simply taking the uncompressed Final Cut exports and making a DVD in iDVD out of them. The results, while OK, aren't the best. I'm thinking there isn't much I can do there because I'm not working with the best source material (going through a number of compressions - Tivo, DVD recorder, iDVD, etc).
    But one thing I did notice though is my fancy iDVD created menu looked pretty slick with the video scaled down. The video was crisp and clear.
    Is there a way to scale my video down so that it doesn't play full screen? Almost doing a 4-sided letterbox. I'm envisioning the video scaled down, centered on the TV.

    Yes, I think I understand what you want to do...
    You can scale the video down or up to pretty much any size you would want to use;
    When your video is in the timeline, double click it, and it will open in one of the video preview windows (I belive its called the "viewer" window), for me on my dual screen, its the one on the left;
    A few tabs will appear at the top of the the Viewer window, Video, Filters and Motion; Click on the motion Tab...
    When there the video will disappear a time line where keyframes live will appear, since you have not used key frames in this clip for motion, there will not be any there;
    You will see to the left of this a few pull downs, Basic Motion, Crop, Distort, Opacity, Drop Shadow and Time Remap;
    When you have the basic Motion twisty selected, you will see, Scale, Rotation, Center and Anchor Point;
    The one your interested in for what I belive you wan to do is Scale. You can click in the box that defaults to 100 (meaning 100 percent) and change this to anything you want.
    By changing it this once it will make the entire clip play at that new scale. You can get creative and keyframe it over time using the little diamond shape button with the right and left arrow on each side. You can add a key frame at any point int he time line; and it will scale (in this case) to each setting you have set a key for. It interpolates the scale at each point in the time line when you set different scales etc... you can fiddle with this and get some good ideas for other projects if you want;
    For what I belive you asked for, no key frame is required as you want it to start and finish att he same reduced scale.
    I trust this helps you out, and hopefully I read your question correctly;
    p.s. if you leave the Center at 0, and 0 it will be centred, but its important to note you can use that to chance the position of the video in the video frame, again not needed for your request - but handy to know....

  • Why haven't I been able to watch YouTube videos for months? :(

    I'm hoping someone might be able to shed some light on this issue I've been having...
    I have an older MacBook Pro (bought July 2007) running OS 10.4.11, that hasn't been able to access YouTube or YouTube videos for the past several months. When trying to access the website on Firefox or Safari, the page takes forever to load and I get the "Connection has timed out" error. I've tried loading it on several different wireless connections, none of which should have any firewalls/proxies set. Embedded YouTube videos don't show up (there's just a blank space where they should be), and embedded HD YouTube videos will show the first frame but will not load or play.
    I've never had any problems with YouTube before, but didn't turn my computer on between Feb and May of this year (I was traveling). I figured I must have missed some important update. But I'm currently running the most recent versions of Firefox (3.6.9) and Safari (4.0.3), Adobe Flash (10.1), Quicktime (7.6.4), and Java (v9 for OS 10.4). Updating these hasn't helped any. I also reinstalled Firefox entirely.
    I don't have any issues loading any other websites, or playing/viewing other kinds of embedded videos, or any other videos. As far as I can tell, my internet browsers don't have any firewalls or blocks set up. Other laptops and desktops on the same wireless connections I've tried can access the site and embedded videos without issue.
    Does anyone have any ideas as to what else I could try? I'd love to be able to get back on YouTube...
    thank you in advance!
    -Ann

    I understand that you can not access youtube website at all .. this can be due to a variety of reasons ..
    what you describe looks like a dns resolution error .. try this
    go to terminal and type
    sudo nano /Private/Etc/Hosts
    you will be prompted for your password ..enter it and note that your input won't be visible ..
    if all goes well you will see something like this :
    # Host Database
    # localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
    # when the system is booting. Do not change this entry.
    127.0.0.1 localhost
    255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
    ::1 localhost
    if you see that try adding these lines EXACTLY AS YOU SEE underneath that page
    74.125.43.103 youtube.com
    74.125.43.103 www.youtube.com
    and press control and X together on your keyboard
    now back at the terminal type exit and hit return
    reboot your machine ..
    see how it goes
    hope this helps

  • Is it possible to connect the iPad to an Infocus and a remote for ppt presentations at the same time?

    I've always used PC and I'm planning on making the transition to Mac.  That's why I'm considering buying an iPad. Today I went to Best Buys and the Mac guy told me that it isn't possible to connect the iPad to an Infocus and a remote for ppt presentations at the same time. Is that true?  I'm a speaker and that was the main reason I was considering buying an iPad, so I didn't have to carry my laptop. Thanks for your help!

    Thanks for your reply. Looks like it can as I have just found this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKp02y4JXVs

  • How can I add new content in iDVD to a DVD-RW disc which has ample remaining free space? After preparing the new video for burning and clicking on Burn to iDVD, I get a window saying the disc's already recorded and that I can either Erase or Eject.

    How can I add new content in iDVD to a DVD-RW disc with a video previously successfully recorded on it? (The disc has ample remaining free space.)
    After preparing the new video for burning and clicking in the File menu on Burn to iDVD, I get a window saying the disc's already recorded and that I can either Erase or Eject. My assumption has been that iDVD would automatically find the free space and continue with the new recording from there. I'd be grateful if anyone can shine light on this.

    There are, but not with a DVD written as a movie disk. It must be closed when completed, or it doesn't work.
    Apple's built in Burn utility also automatically closes any data CD, DVD or Blu-ray disk you burn. Doesn't matter how much space is unused, you can't use it. You'd have to use a more advanced disk creation app, such as Toast Titanium. I then have the option of choosing to write the data as a session:
    I can keep doing this until the disk is full. If I've written five sessions to the disk, when I put it in the drive, five CD/DVD icons will appear on the desktop since the OS will treat each session as if they are separate physical disks. At any point you choose Write Disk when writing a group of data, that means you're closing the disk, and again can't add anything after that. So if I had written two sessions, and the third was Write Disk, it's over. I can't put anything else on that disk.

    If it happens again the make sure that you aren't suppressing website colors.
    Make sure that you allow pages to choose their colors and that you haven't enabled High Contrast in the Accessibility settings.

  • Why does it take so long for FCPX to render video for the various Apple Devices?

    It took 12 hours from FCP X to share 1 hour of video for iPad. It took over an hour to share a 3 min. video from FCP X via the new Compressor for iPad. It takes appreciably less time if I choose the DVD option (which now gives an error message in FCP X) or export as a Quicktime video.

    Only an idea but 1.4Gb to 22.5Gb hmm well that may take a while as it's having to make the file bigger add information to it? But the bigger the file to a smaller size the longer things will take. Always use compressor though it's a professional compressor well the last version was anyway and your MacBook Pro is fairly powerful. do you have it plugged in when performing tasks like these as It may be that performance is reduced slightly to conserve battery life but I'm not 100% sure on that but if you haven't I'd give that a go.

  • What is the best way to export a video for broadcast using FCE?  H264?

    I need to get the best quality HD video for broadcast using final cut express and I need to know all info and settings please?

    Hello,
    You need to find out from the broadcaster what specs they require you to meet.  H.264 is probably not it.

  • What is better when converting analog video for FCE, Canopus100/110/300/or5

    All,
    What is better when converting analog video for FCE, Canopus100/110/300/or500? I have a new MACPRO with FCE HD and I wanted to convert some of my older video that was recorded on a HI8 Camcorder... Thanks.

    I have the ADVC-100 (older model) and ADVC-110. They are identical except that the ADVC-110 does not come with an AC power adapter. Currently sells for about $220USD. If all you need to do is convert from HI8 tapes, the ADVC100/110 will do the job quite nicely.
    The ADVC300 adds some enhancements for video signal cleanup, but at a higher price. Currently sells for about $450USD. The ADVC500 is overkill for home use.
