Web Export

ok I shot some footage -- 720x480 SD at 24fps anamorphic 16:9 aspect ratio -- looks great but Ive been trying to export it for the web and Im getting nowhere fast!
I tried "Export Quicktime Movie" and Ive tried to use Quicktime conversion... when I try to use Quicktime the quality looks awful and the aspect ratio goes back to 4:3
so then I tried compressor.... a multitude of different settings. at least with compressor, I can maintain the aspect ratio but the image is terrible.
using H.264 codec, I tried all the different frame rates, put the pixels as "square" since end result is for computer monitor....
in the compressor preview, you can really see the difference between the original, which is a great picture and the output which is pixilated when there is lots of movement.
suggestions?
thanks.

First, I'm assuming you mean 24p (23.976 fps) not 24 fps.
And that your sequence settings match your clip settings.
So, here's what's gonna give you the best result (in my experience)
Export quicktime movie with current settings (self contained)
Bring this file into compressor.  Choose the apple:  other workflows:  web:  download:  quicktime 7 compatible: h264 lan.  preset and apply it to the file in the batch window.
Double click on the preset in the batch window to load it into the inspector and you'll customize it as follows.
In the geometry panel, Set the frame size to 854 by 480 square pixels.
In the frame controls panel, enable frame controls by clicking on the gear wheel to the right of the frame controls off/on and turn the frame controls on and change the resize filter to best.
If you need higher quality, you can go into the encoder panel  and click on video settings and adjust the quality slider, but generally this is not necessary with standard def material.
post back if any of this isn't clear.

  • Slow Web Export in Aperture 1.5.1

    I feel a little crazy for asking this, but it seems like web exports have gotten significantly slower since I upgraded to Aperture 1.5.1. I cannot find anything on my machine that would cause this. Has anyone else experienced this?
    -Fletch
    PowerMac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    I haven't noticed it being slower in v1.5.1 than previously. That said it's too slow and slower than it should be. My Mac Pro can knock out files as fast as 18 high res. files per minute (~90mb each. from 1DsM2) when I'm batching but web galleries tend to hover around 3 files per minute (2-6 overall). That's much too slow and would be a nightmare on location if you have to generate a web gallery from your laptop of a few hundred files.
    Aperture needs to have an option to generate the web galleries from the thumbnails it creates (which I think fit within 1000 px square - more than enough for most web galleries) or from previews rather than from the raw files. This would speed things up considerably.
    I haven't been using previews, I turned them off, so you might be able to use them for that if your referenced files are off-line, but it would still be nice to have the option to generate web galleries from Aperture's built thumbnails or the previews from an Aperture library or from referenced files.

  • Html link to specific photo in flash web export

    I want to send someone links to specific images in my flash web export. I know I can direct them to the source image file, but I want them to see it in the flash export interface. Is there a way I can make a duplicate copy of the index.html and edit the start image and save as another name, or would I have to copy and alter the flash file?

    You can't do a direct link to the image witht the built-in Flash movie. If you need to do this often, consider getting the SlideShowPro web engine and switching on "permalinks".
    But to resolve your existing problem, it is fiddly. I assume you want the rest of the web gallery to work, so copy the index.html file, and then look for a folder called resources\mediaGroupData and make a copy of the file group.xml, so you have two xml files in that folder. What you would need to do is edit this "copy.xml" so it only lists your picture. Then back to your copy of index.html and replace any references to group.xml with copy.xml. I told you it was fiddly!

  • Black stroke around image in Web Export

    More specifically, I'm using the LightRoom Flash Gallery selection as that provides just the structure that I want/need. To match my website (still in construction) I've altered the colors in LightRoom's controls. Separately, I've added a frame around each image in Photoshop with a dropshadow that bleeds into the background color (again, to match the website).
    The problem is that there is a 2 pixel stroke around the image.
    Unfortunately since the image has a frame of its own with a drop shadow bleeding to the page color as part of the image, and that there's a 2 pixel stroke around the image, I've got a dropshadow contained within a stroke frame around the image that already has a frame. To my eyes it looks rather silly.
    Is there anything I can do to get rid of this stroke? You can see two images with the problem here:
    http://thecoynes.com/hdr/hdr_photographs/
    By the way, before you suggest it, in the color palette options for this Web Export, there is an option for "Border." Unfortunately that is for the 1 pixel round-corner-rectangle border around the thumbnails and image. It doesn't do anything to *this* border. In addition, the structure of this web gallery is EXACTLY like the one in Bridge and has the exact same results and problems.
    Thanks for any help,
    Gary

    Tomrock,
    Please read the last paragraph where I start "By the way, before you suggest it..."
    In other words, yup, I've tried that and it refers to the 1 pixel border around the thumbs and the overall image.
    Thanks for suggesting anyway, I've spent way too much time on this already.

  • Trouble creating web exports in BPA

    I´m currently trying to create a web export in BPA, for a database where I applied a specific filter and where I customized som models and attributes.
    At the end of the exporting process, while "transfering attributes", the process stops with an error.
    I created another database, where I applied the same filter, and the export is successful, I can view the results in Publisher.
    Thanks.
    Ana Telha

    Have you tried creating the export from scratch? Also, have you tried with any of the different profiles? I believe BPA ships with Profiles 1,2,3 which are all slightly different. Does your export fail using every profile?
    I also know from bitter experience, that if you perfom an export and then change any aspect of the export profle (for instance) you are unable to update any existing exports successfully.

  • Unable to make web exports

    Hi, all, i have the following installation:
    BP Repository Server & BP Publisher in the same machine, the database is in a second machine (in an Oracle 10g db)
    the communication between BP Architect and the repository works OK,
    but when i want to create a web export i got the message "the procedure was canceled" and "unable to create export". In the window of the Tomcat process execution i see this exception:
    Client receives this exception as CORBA::UNKNOWN

    could be because i don't have a direct connect between the BP Publisher and the database and it is trying to use the Olite default database.
    Any thoughts?

  • Save for Web Export

    I am trying to use the save for web export option to save out a file of type JPEG.
    I have gotten the code working fine if it saved out with the default file type of .gif, but I cannot get it to work with .jpg.
    set theExportOptions to {class:save for web export options, interlaced:true, quality:30}
    tell current document
    export in (theLocation as text) as save for web with options theExportOptions
    end tell
    These are the pertinent lines from my code, so if anybody can tell me how to save the file as type JPEG so that it is a scripted version of Photoshop's save for web feature, that would great.
    I am also using Photoshop CS2 v9.02 if that helps.

    You would have to code that seperate eg:
    FitImage(1000,500);
    function FitImage( inWidth, inHeight ) {
       if ( inWidth == undefined || inHeight == undefined ) {
          alert( "FitImage requires both Width & Height!");
          return 100;
       var desc = new ActionDescriptor();
       var unitPixels = charIDToTypeID( '#Pxl' );
       desc.putUnitDouble( charIDToTypeID( 'Wdth' ), unitPixels, inWidth );
       desc.putUnitDouble( charIDToTypeID( 'Hght' ), unitPixels, inHeight );
       var runtimeEventID = stringIDToTypeID( "3caa3434-cb67-11d1-bc43-0060b0a13dc4" ); 
       executeAction( runtimeEventID, desc, DialogModes.NO );

  • Save for web export crashing photoshop

    HI
    In was wondering if anyone could help me.  I have written a code that edits images but i am having trouble with the save for web export everytime it gets to saving it photoshop just crashes. I have tried a few different ways of coding it but all of them end of crashing PS and i am at a loss as to what is wrong.
    Here is the code that i am using:
                                            set webFolder to (choose folder with prompt "Select the folder to link to")
                                            set webOpt to {class:save for web export options, web format:JPEG, quality:89}
                                            set theDoc to current document
      export theDoc in webFolder as save for web with options webOpt
    any help would be great. I have tried it on CS6 and CC, both of which crash.

    You need to pass a full file path to the export command… Probably need to change the extension too.
    set myFullFilePath to (path to desktop as text) & docName
    export in file myFullFilePath as save for web with options myOptions

  • Alternative to Save for Web/Export as CSS Layers?

    I'm am SO DEVASTATED that CS6 got rid of the option to save as CSS layers in Save for Web.  I just updated from 5 to 6 and now I'm looking for an alternative but am having no luck.  I've tried some scripts I've found online but none of them work the way I need, or at all. 
    I do animation in AI where each layer is a frame on the animation.  In CS5 I could Save for Web and check the Export as CSS Layers box.  This would export all the layers in my AI file to pngs, where each layer is it's own png file, in one folder.  I could then import them as an image sequence in Photoshop and turn layers on and off with each frame to create my animation.
    I tried exporting my AI file to a PSD file with maximum editability but the more complicated the animation (meaning the more layers and the more objects on each layer) it would start flattening layers without warning.  Not to mention the rendering time just opening the file in Photoshop and then trying to save it there once I had created all my frames.  Photoshop froze on me 6 times this morning while I was trying things out.
    I'm desperate for a simple way to do the CSS layer trick.  If I can't find one, I'm going to have to go back to CS5 permanently, or until I can find a solution.

    here you go, let me know if it cuts it.

  • Web Export / Lightroom

    I'm using Aperture for editing / cataloging needs, but when it comes to exporting to a web page, well.... it really blows. With limited choices. On the other hand, I do like the web export features in Adobe's Lightroom.
    So what would be the best workflow to store /edit /catalog my images in Aperture, but to export to web via Lightroom? Will I have to export the versions I want to disk, and then import to Lightroom in order to export to web?

  • Renaming files at web export time?

    I have a particular file naming scheme for my Lightroom catalog (as I'm sure we all do), it works really well for keeping all the shots in my entire library organized in the filesystem... but of course it doesn't really take collections into consideration.  It seems to me that the web module is really made for collections (or even smaller sub-collection selection sets), and that "web collection" order is not necessarily related to file sequence, chronological order, import time, etc... so is there a way to rename the photos at web export time making use of some kind of "web collection sequence" metadata?

    Our goal in designing the output from the web module was to make the resulting gallery when viewed in a web browser the best experience possible.  Therefore, we didn't spend any effort allowing the user to customize the way in which that exported gallery gets built internally.
    That said, it may be possible for someone who writes their own gallery to specify a new naming scheme for the photos.
    Why does it matter to you what the filenames on the web gallery photos are?  Most users are going to view them in the context of the accompanying flash or HTML files, and won't be aware of what the filenames are behind the scenes.  (I'm curious about how you're using the web module that this matters )

  • LR 1.1 web export color discrepancies

    Okay, I have googled all over for this and have found people with the same issue, but nobody seems to have the answer. Hoping someone here has a solution to this.
    What I am seeing is my colors being "enhanced", sometimes way too much when I export in either flash or HTML in the web module. I have done all kinds of tests, but I absolutely cannot find any settings for exporting in the web module. when I do an export under "file->export" and use colorspace AdobeRGB, it looks just like my Nikon RAW file. However, if I change the colorspace on export to sRGB, the color is greatly enhanced. This makes me feel as though I have no control over my images.
    Take a look at the 2 following images. The first one is just a plain screenshot of the image in LR, the second image is a screenshot of the file after being viewed in the flash web export. Clearly LR is modifying the image on upload, but for the life of me I cannot find where this modification is taking place so I can try to shut it off. I would like full control of my images and just can't get it using the web export. Please help! I'm running windows XP Pro.
    first image:
    http://img174.imageshack.us/img174/4528/beforelilydm6.jpg
    second image from flash export: (Yes I know it looks better, but I have zero control of it!)
    http://img139.imageshack.us/img139/7501/afterlilykn9.jpg

    In its basic form, the difference you're seeing is caused by the absence of color management in Windows browsers (with only partial support in Safari) and flash. However, I think you may also have an issue with your monitor profile.
    Windows allows you to assign an ICC profile to your monitor that describes its color response (control panel -> display properties -> settings -> advanced -> color management). Lightroom uses this profile to convert the image data so that it displays correctly on your screen.
    Browsers (Windows) and Flash do not do this, and send the image data directly to your screen instead. *If* your image is in sRGB *and* your monitor's response is close to the sRGB standard, things may look ok, but there are no guarantees.
    However, the differences you are showing are very large, which leads me to believe that your monitor profile is describing a color space that is much larger than sRGB (the default web output). Have you assigned the Adobe RGB to your monitor, by any chance? Your monitor profile should match your monitor's actual response, so try to get one from your monitor manufacturer, or, better yet, get a hardware calibrator. If you're desperate, you can also try assigning the sRGB profile, but it's *not* a real solution [even less so for lousy laptop LCDs].

  • LR2 64-bit Web Export running too slow

    The Web Export process is not using any of the processing power available to it on my computer. It uses only about 8% of the processor and the disk activity is not that high. It runs fast at first then slows down.

    The only thing that is slow is the web previews. I canceled them and then just have tried creating the website. Still just not wanting to use the CPU, or much disk, or even change its memory consumption.
    Here's a dir listing of the process
    10/02/2008 05:55 PM 57,872 _MG_5132.jpg
    10/02/2008 05:56 PM 54,151 _MG_5134.jpg

    10/02/2008 05:57 PM 50,906 _MG_5137.jpg
    Taking 20 seconds to make some real low quality JPEGs. During most of that time no CPU is in use. The highest I've seen LR use was 15% for about a second.
    Its like the program is waiting for something then finally it happens. The computer is running just fine otherwise. All other modules work at expected speed.
    The beginning of the process does use CPU. Its just the part where its rendering the photos that dead slow.

  • "Save for Web" exporting very slowly

    I appologize if this question has been answered somewhere already, I didn't find a solution for my problem, so here goes.
    When saving images for web, photoshop (or is it still considered image ready?) can take as long as 10-15 seconds per slice while saving. I found several people had an issue where the save for web GUI was taking a long time to load up... I do not have that issue. My GUI loads nice and quick, and the interface is as responsive as it should be. Only after telling the program to save the files does it start to chug.
    I'm using a brand new Dell machine with Windows 7 fully updated. Have 4 gigs of ram, 2.4Gh Xeon, and 170gb of free HD space. Also, I'm using CS4 64bit Photoshop.

    Time to resurrect this thread...
    I've been having the same slow-saving problem as before, now both 32 and 64 bit versions are saving slowly. I have noticed that once every blue moon it will export a file quickly, but seems there next attempt is slow again. Same issue whether reading and/or writing on a local or network drive. Also, as stated above, it doesn't seem to be relative the size of the source file, destination file, or number of slices. Big and little, dozens of images or a single image, they're all slow and they all seem to take roughly the same ammount of time.
    I also have CS4 installed on my computer at home (which is pretty similar, hardware-wise, to my work PC) and I don't have this problem.
    Scowering google I was unable to find any threads that directly relate to this problem. The closest thing I found was a post ( found here http://typography.com/documents/a_photoshop_slowness_fix.php) that says to delete "/Library/Preferences/com.adobe.Photoshop.plist" and "/Library/Preferences/com.adobe.mediabrowser.plist", then let photoshop recreate those files. The only problem is I can't find either of those files in CS4.
    Anyhow... just looking for any suggestions. I'll try anything at this point. I'm probably losing close to an hour some days just sitting and waiting for my machine to export slices.

  • Webi export to excel misaligned border free cell

    Hi
    I'm using Webi XI 3.1 SP3 FP 3.3.
    I've a report in which I've put border using a Free standing cell. When I export this report in Excel format (browser/rich client), the border comes as empty at the start of the excel and after which the report blocks/data come.
    Why is this happening?
    Thanks
    Deep

    hi Deep,
    Blank Cell is not treated as block.
    Whereas Chart and tables are treated as blocks.
    Hence the relative positioning between the blocks is preserved.
    But not blank cell.
    This can be observed by looking at properties tab of Chart/Table. You will see 'name' as block
    But this doesn't holds good for Blank cell.
    That's the reason Excel treats it as a separate entity.

  • Webi export to excel having issues.

    Hi,
    I have a webi report which generates 62 mb excel file when exported to excel.
    It can be saved to excel without any error but when we open the excel report it shows the error that there are some damage done to report and excel is trying to recover it.
    I have tried increasing the heap size , cache size of webi report server , tried exporting to Excel 2000, 2003 and 2007 , but get the same results,
    Can anybody please help me solving it soon.
    I have attached the report in the attachment.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    But the problem is the report has two tabs and the number of rows is only 20000 + 4000 which is not exceeding the limit column are 22 which is also in range.
    The problem i think is because of  number of hyperlinks, there are almost 15 columns and 20000 + 4000 rows with hyperlinks in the report.
    When i change the properties of hyperlink to be read as text. the excel can be easily opened. and also the file size reduces to half.
    Any idea about this hyperlink creating issues?
