What file size and format show I ask someone to send me a movie in?

A company is sending me a movie which they filmed and edited.I want the full edited movie so I can just extract scenes from it.
What file, format and size should I ask it for in?
Or would it be better for me to recieve it as a Mini DV and recappture it on my computer?
I want the movie in as high quality as possible. Is quick time, 720x486, uncompressed, good? I don't want to sound like I don't know what Im talking about

What file, format and size is it originally and what do you intend to do with it once you have extracted scenes?

  • IPhotoBook Image File Sizes and Formats

    Morning (it is here in the UK!)
    Similar questions found on the forum - but not exactly what I need.
    Please may I ask for your help on the forum.  I notice 'Old Toad' in particular seems to respond to these types of enquiries!
    I've got an iMac - about four years old - with Mac OS X 10.6 and iPhoto 8.1
    I'm building an iPhotoBook (the Extra Large 13" x 10" Size) of Press Clippings which I'm scanning onto a PC, putting into Photoshop and then transferring to the iMac to create the Photobook.  Doing it this way as my Photoshop license is for my PC, plus my PC is newer. 
    Each of the two or three photobooks will run to possibly 100 pages - unsure what my maximum page count allowed will be.
    I'm scanning at 600 DPI using an A3 Scanner.
    Saving as a TIFF once I've created the layout of each page in Photoshop.
    So I'll end up with a series of pre-built pages for the 13" x 10" book ready to drop into iPhoto Book.
    Looking at my file sizes they're currently anywhere between 38 and 45 MB each.
    Am I going to run into problems uploading these?  Will Photobook be happy with my TIFF files?
    Such a vast project want to get it right before I end up going back over my initial work.
    Thank you in advance.

    Scan to tiff by all means and at a sRGB color profile, but output jpegs. There's nothing to be gained using the tiffs in a book. It's converted to pdf when uploading anyway. Most importing thing, preview the pdf before uploading. That's what your book will look like when finished.

  • Check image details like resolution, dimensions, color mode, file format, file size and file name

    I have 1000 images in a folder, i want to check their details like resolution, dimensions, color mode, file format, file size and file name into excel with nice user interface.
    Pls help me, m just learning ABCD in VB.

    The code in the file at the link below might give you a starting point. Firstly it gives you the opportunity to list all of the properties of a file type and then you can select the properties that you want and the second utility gives you the
    opportunity to list the selected properties for all files in a selected folder.
    Download and extract the file and open the file in Excel.
    Click the first button List Meta Data for One File (Run first)
    Navigate to and Select any ONE individual photo file. (Photo files because that is what you indicated you are working with.)
    You will be presented with a list of the available properties for the file. Where the Item value is blank, that property is not recorded for the particular file. Different file types have different properties and it is also dependent on how the file
    was created but generally if all of the files come from the same source then the same properties are recorded for all files from that source.
    Now insert a Y in column D for all of the required properties. (Don't select any with the Item value blank)
    Click the second button List Selected Meta Data for all Files in a Folder (Run after selecting the required properties).
    Next select a folder where the files reside. (You might need to back up to the folder if dialog is blank because it will not show individual files because the code only allows Folders.)
    You will be presented with a report listing all of the selected properties for all of the files in the selected folder.
    The user interface is not that great but you can improve on that if you want to with a Userform as you get to know VBA a little better.
    Download the file from here.

  • When saving a file in [.jpg] format, i am asked to choose a quality from 1 to 100. what changes in the file created based on the quality parameter chosen?

    when saving a file in [.jpg] format, i am asked to choose a quality from 1 to 100. what changes in the file created based on the quality parameter chosen?. i would like to know what changes, so in the future i can set my camera to a setting that will give me the highest quality to begin with,allowing me to make crops and still preserve the quality.
    thank you

    It's the level of compression. Lower number, more aggressive compression, more visual artifacts.
    Aside from that you should never use jpeg as a working format. The compression is destructive and cumulative, and the file deteriorates every time you resave it.
    Use TIFF or PSD, and if you need jpeg save out a copy as a single final step.

  • Two step import, downsizing image file sizes and/or keeping copies?

    hi all,
    leonie was kind enough on another thread to suggest a two step import from the iphone in order to make sure that there is no accidental deletion or data loss. my understanding (i'm repeating it here myself in case i am misunderstanding) is that this routine involves 1. importing images into Aperture via the conventional import method and then 2. backing up to iTunes (to save the images) and 3. verifying (visually i think) that the images are in the Aperture database and then if so allow Aperture to delete all the images from the iPhone.
    this seems to make sense to me but i realized i had a couple of questions about general "photo hygiene" related to this kind of thing.
    1. is there some way to downsize file size after images are imported into Aperture? i take a ton of photos and only some are important to keep at a high resolution and i feel like i am stuck between having a huge Aperture database cluttered with lots of photos at high resolution /or/ turning down the file size and finding that i have an important image that is at a low resolution because i forgot to turn up the file size (i think these are in settings somewhere in my phone) before i took the photo or only realized later that it was important to have this image at higher resolution. if i could downsize while thinking about it in Aperture this seems like it would work.
    2. does anyone keep an external copy of their images outside of the Aperture database?
    thanks

    hi terence,
    thank you.
    so can i ask if anyone is using an iphone and/or what setting(s) and/or resolution folks are using?
    i guess i have a bit of a dilemma in that i take a ton of photos and i only use one at a high resolution while the others can be something as insignificant as a visual note to myself. and it kind of kills me that these could be 1.2 MB in that i have a lot of them. i sort of wish there was a way to downsample imagery since a lot of these are not so important.
    anyway. yeah i guess i was wondering if folks do a referenced library or keep an extra copy as a backup (i guess i am 'embedding' images in the library but i forget what i call this in aperture) - and i have started to wonder if there is some utility to doing a referenced library or keeping a backup but this seems like overkill while at the same time a referenced library would allow me the ability to downsample images from what i can tell but i am just guessing here since i haven't tried this method.
    thanks.

  • Options to view file size and type?

    Where can I turn on options on an image and get the file size and type?
    Thanks.

    Stan,
    You can see the file type by hovering over the file in Library view and it will show the file name followed by the extension like jpg, nef or tiff.
    Alternatively in library mode go to grid view it will pixel size of the files as well as the name of the file withthe format.
    If you are not able to see that go to View>View Option.
    Check the option show header with label
    Hope thatt helps.

  • What file size is a PDF?

    I receive lots of PDF files but I can't figure out what file size the creator used. If he used the smallest size setting, it wouldn't have a high enough resolution for professional printing would it?
    I have preflighted PDFs but can't figure out where it tells me if a PDF is the smallest file size or Press Quality.
    Thanks for your help in advance.

    Sorry peeps but I have a question that is at the beginning stages but I seem to need to re visit this area, can anyone PLEASE tell me how to print to pdf. I usually hit command-p and go to printer and set my dpi to 300 and than check custom so that my postcard will fit correctly save to my designated folder and let Acrobat do the rest...the reason I go this way is because I have to keep my file size as low as possible because I have to email my files to the printer. is there a sight or can anyone please tell me what I'm doing wrong..I start with a file at 6.63mb and after I print to pdf with the settings I said at the beginning and I wind up with 51.23kb PLEASE help!

  • Resize Video, both the file size and actual size

    Hi All,
    I am very new to Adobe Premiere (CS3). I have had it for a while but not needed to use until now. A client of mine has sent me a video that he wants on his website. But it’s 150M and 1280 * 720. Can anyone help me out with how I can resize both the file size and actual size to say 800 * 450 so it can stream it via the net?
    Like I said very new to this,
    Cheers,
    Mike.

    The first thing you need to do is determine just what KIND of file you were sent, so you may start a project that matches the file

  • Multiple size and format exports

    Is there a way to hit the export button on a selection of images one time and produce multiple sizes and formats of each image? Maybe an automator script.
    It would speed things up if you didn't have to go back and choose a different format from the drop down list and start the export over again for each different size that you need.

    I was just doing something similar recently, I agree it would be nice to have something easier to do just this...
    I think the simplist way would actually be to write an export plugin using the new Export API, it would be truest to what you are probably trying to produce (I was creating a series of different resolutions of the same image for a web page). It would be trickier though.

  • I need to export a photo at around 1meg file size,and dont seem to be able to do it in the presets can anyone help please ,I shoot on a canon 5d

    I need to export a photo at around 1meg file size,and dont seem to be able to do it in the presets can anyone help please ,I shoot on a canon 5d

    I believe Frank is referring to the end use (e.g., for print or on-screen use).
    Until he returns, I can tell you that I ran a quick test using an image from the Aperture 3 training book library which was as follows:
    Camera = Canon EOS 5D Mark II
    Master resolution = 5616 x 3744 (21 MP)
    I was able to export to a JPEG with end file size of 1 MB as follows:
    Export Presets drop-down > select 'Edit' option
    Selected preset name 'JPEG - 50% of Original Size' > change percentage value to 40% > change DPI value to '300' > click OK to set as current default > Export version to desktop.
    The exported JPEG has a resolution of 2246 x 1498 and appears on screen to have the same image quality of the original in Aperture.
    Note - I did not change the default Image Quality slider in the Export Preset dialog (which left it at 10).
    Basically, you will need to play around with the settings until you find the appropriate values to arrive at an image version you want.
