What is the best preset for pro res video to compress for a web-series?

I have a web-series to upload and would like to know what is the best option coming from a mov file to youtube or vimeo?
thank you

I've had consistent results that I'm happy with using the following.
Vimeo has a tutorial on Compressor Web settings (as well as other software. I don't follow all their recommendations, but it's certainly worth viewing.

  • What is the best way to record a video(not big) for free on a mac w/isight?

    What is the best way to record a video(not big) for free on a mac w/isight? I need to just make a short (less than 5 minute, no special effects) video, but I can't figure out any programs that will make this possible for me.
    Thanks.

    Hi Carolyn,
    you can use iMovie to record a video for free on a Mac with iSight.
    1. Open iMovie HD
    2. Choose “Create a new project”
    3. Name the project for example “iSight Movie” (first field). In the second field, let the default location “Sequences”, in the third one, video format, choose “iSight”. Push “Create”
    4. iMovie window opens, next to the scissors, choose the camera (Camera mode), then iSight. Now you appear on the screen, right?
    5. Press “Record with iSight” in the main picture window.
    6. Press the same button to stop. Your new clip appears now in the clip panel at the right.
    7. You are done!

  • What is the best preset for Panasonic Ag-AC8P?

    I teach digital video and use Panasonic AG-AC8P. What is the best preset to use for this camera? Thanks

    Thank you for the response.
    In reading these I realized my original question was unclear as I was in a hurry. Getting the sequence to match the clips isn't an issue, but when we import clips from that camera and play them in the source monitor, it lags very badly. Can this be solved by using the proper preset in project setup? Or does the sequence preset even matter when playing from the source monitor. One we get it into the timeline and rendered there isn't an issue, only when trying to play from the source monitor (for example when setting in and out points).

  • What is the best way to set up an external drive for video storage

    What is the best way to set up an external drive for video storage?

    Check the formatting. It need to be formatted as Mac OS Extended (journaled). This is also known as HFS+.
    FAT32 and NTFS formatting will not work with iMovie.
    If necessary, you can reformat using Disk Utility.
    Make one large partition. No need for multiple partitions.
    Do moves or copies to the external drive through iMovie as detailed in iMovie Help. If you move Events in the Finder, they may become unlinked from the projects that use them.

  • What is the best way to make a list of addresses for envelopes or labels?  Address book, numbers or pages?

    What is the best way to make a list of addresses for envelopes and labels?  Address book, Pages or Numbers?

    I liek your idea of having multiple images in a grid. I think
    that would be the best bet as you mentioned. Having one big picture
    would be hard to distinguish the sub-areas with mouse coordinates.
    I think checking the coordinates for the mouse would be very
    tedious because I would have to check for the left boundary, the
    right, top, and bottom for each sub-area!
    What do you mean by using button components and reskinning.
    Is this simply using buttons and changing the way they look? I'm
    just trying to save time and memory, because if I had a 10 by 10
    grid, thats a hundred buttons. Wouldn't that slow down the machine
    alot? And for that matter wouldn't having a grid of 10 by 10 images
    also by the same deal?
    Thanks for the input, I'm just trying to find the most
    efficient way to do it.

  • What is the best way to email a video from iPhoto? It won't let me share a video!

    what is the best way to email a video from iPhoto? It won't let me share a video!

    Size is not the issue. In the old iPhoto you used to be able to share a video and it would compress it to fit an email friendly size. It doesn't do that anymore from iPhoto. I miss that feature. I have to export the video from iPhoto to my desktop then take into the old Quicktime 7 to share in email. Crazy.
    It shouldn't be that complicated. I shouldn't have to find a work around. I guess apple wants to put  you in a box so you have to do it "their way" via uploading to iWeb or iCloud instead of emailing video.
    I don't like those options being taken away.  While the quality may suffer by compressing for email, it is still the most direct and unconvoluted way of sharing something fairly quickly. I don't want to have to post to YouTube or Vimeo or iCloud and send a link. Just compress the video and hit send in an email and be done with it.

    You can share songs, but if there is DRM protection on the song, it will not play on the other device unless you also transfer the rights to the other device. You are getting into the problem of music piracy.

  • What's the best way to master an MPEG 2 file for DVD Studio Pro.

    In version 4.5 of FCP I was able to use QuickTime conversion to encode to MPEG2. Now that option is not there. I hate using compressor 2 to create MPEG 2 because when I do the MPEG 2 files always seem to studder and I don't know why. I shot my project in HDV. It is about 64 minutes long. Any suggestions on the BEST way to master an MPEG 2 file for DVD Studio pro? Thanks in advance!
    Peter
    PS - I'm using FCP 5

    Some people have reported a field reversal problem with HDV to SD DVD encodes. There's an Apple technical document on this issue somewhere, but the problem was supposed to be addressed by a Pro Applications update a couple of years ago... This site might help you get to the bottom of the problem.

  • [Flex 4.5.1] What is the best way of adopting a flex built website for mobile "as is"?

    What is the best way of adopting a flex 4.5.1 built website for mobile "as is"?
    I have a website built with flex 4.5.1 which I want to be working on mobile as it should - meaning that touch style of interactions should be working not mouse.
    The question is: Do I HAVE TO recode all of my website from Application into Mobile Application in order to be a more lightweight version of the original one, which includes: remove some functionality, pages, animation, build a separate backend and cms to control it etc.?
    OR
    Can I just define mobile skins, for my existing components to use when in mobile mode, in which I could have done some tweaking by removing some unnecessary parts and changing component interactionMode to Touch ?
    Are both options which I see possible and if yes - which one would you recommend?
    Thanks in advance!

    Thanks for the answer. Yeah I bet you figured out what I want the answer to be, but is it ? That's why I am asking here. I can see my website on my HTC Desire HD and it's working pretty well. If I reskin the parts that need a bigger hit area or the scrollers to work with touch so I don't have to scroll the actual scrollbars with my finger, remove some complex animations - everything will work just fine... The problem is that I am not sure if that is the right way to do it or if it is possible at all.
    I do get your point about not designed for mobile stuff, but while with html 5 you get the job done for web and mobile with little differences at the same time, in flash you need double time cause you'll have to build 2 projects. And since the framework is one for both web and mobile.. why not...
    I want to see the pros and cons of the both approaches I suggested. In a complex modular architecture I could easily swap one web module with a mobile module for example or change skins or components if I need more lightweight ones, but do I have to copy all that logic in to a MobileApplication, can't I do it with Application and use the MobileComponents (which are simplier and less functional) if the project actually needs them...
    I do hope you get why I am asking these questions, and I can't believe I haven't found a guide or something like that "why this and not that" when it comes to mixing web with mobile development and flex... If you have, please share the link, I would be happy to read. Or someone with the experience in what I am talking about shares some knowledge, that would be great!
    Thanks.

  • What is the best way to detect peak to peak voltage for the following waveform ?

    I have two channels of waveform train ( ie W1 & W2 ), each of them is of frequency 64KHz.
    Each channel of waveform train consists of sinewaves of 64KHz of fixed amplitude, say 2 V pk to pk, running for 100 cycles, and then rest for 0.15 sec continue with a sinewave of 64KHz of another fixed amplitude, say 1 V pk to pk running for 100 cycles as well, and then rest for 0.15 sec. The above cycle considered as a complete waveform cycle.
    The above complete waveform cycle repeat for 10 cycles and rest for 1.3 sec and repeated itself.
    From the two simulated waveforms (ie W1 & W2), I need to detect and measure the peak to peak voltage of each of the 100 cycles sinewaves.
    What is th
    e best way to achieve that ?

    The waveform is free running as described above, ie sinewave running at approximate 64 KHz for about 100 cylce at fixed amplitude, say 2V ( actual number of cylce unknown, could slightly more or sightly less, depanding on the machine ) then rest for approximately 0.15sec, another sinewave running at approx. 64KHz at fixed amplitude, say 1.5V ( actual number of cylce unknown, could slightly more or sightly less, depanding on the machine ) running for approx 100 cycles continue...then rest for approx. 0.15 sec .....the above waveform repeated itself and free running .....I would like to capture or trigger each of the 100 cycles sinewave (rest time of 0.15 sec between each approx100 cycles of sinewave) to measure the peak to peak voltage and st
    ore them in array for analysis purpose....what is the best way to achieve that as I do not have time reference, I only know that the waveform is running at the pattern described above.
    Thanks for your help !

  • What is the best way to match clip and sequence settings for real-time editing?

    I am a long time FCP user and trying to make the After Effects workflow a little smoother by utilizing the Adobe suite.
    One of the most valuable things I miss about FCP is that when I drop a clip in a blank sequence (no matter what the settings of the seq) it will ask if I want to match the settings of the clip. This ensures that no rendering is required to quickly edit the video in real-time.
    Is there a plugin or function in Premiere CS4 that I am missing that will afford me this feature? Currently i am doing everything I can to match the clip settings when creating a sequence, but sadly i'm still having to render the timeline to preview the edit.
    lh

    And in CS4, if there is not a matching Preset, you can choose the Desktop Preset, which will allow you to customize nearly every attribute to match your source footage. The name is a bit of a misnomer, but has been around for a long time. I would have called it the "Custom Preset," but Adobe never called.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
    PS - I just learned something new about CS5 from Curt, because of your question - thanks!

  • 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 the best way to do a double page spread for a magazine?

    I'm in the process of putting together a magazine and would like to do some double-page spreads in it, but my printer has requested that the magazine be sent to him as single pages.  If I set it up as 'facing pages' and then change it to single pages when I've finished, will this upset my double page layouts??

    Set it up as facing pages, then when you make the pdf DO NOT CLICK SPREADS.
    When  you click Spreads you are asking InDesign to produce a PDF where page 2-3 are joined, and 3-4 are joined etc.
    When you don't have Spreads selected then Indesign produces Single Page pdf.
    A single page is what is required by a printers with the pages running in reading order from page 1 - finish (for example).
    Do not attempt to impose the document yourself.
    Remember to include your crop marks and your bleed.
    Sidenote on crop marks and bleed:
    Crop marks are needed to trim the page to size when printed. As printers can't  print right to edge of a sheet, and that it's near impossible to trim a  sheet of paper right to the edge of a colour - the colour needs to  extend past the crop line, this is called  bleed.
    When you bleed the document, i.e., extend any item that is tucked right  against the foredge (the edges opposite the spine), then you need to  extend this object off the page into a "bleed" area.
    This allows for human error when trimming the paper, as each sheet is  not trimmed individually (that would take forever!) they are stacked on  top of each other and trimmed in stacks. It would be impossible to stack  all the sheets exactly even, and there is movement on the press, so  compensating for the movement and the fact they can never be stacked  exactly even - for this reason you need objects to extend past the edge  of the page.
    The crop marks tell the guillotine operator where to trim the sheet. Once they have  the measurements in their guillotine machine it's a simple matter of  rinse and repeat with as many stacks of paper there are.
    And printers can sometimes fold and trim a print job folding machine,  and since it's a machine and you have to account for mechanical errors  and human error, you need bleed too.
    Bleed is important - If you don't add bleed then the object stops at the  foredge of the paper. And if the blade trims/crops close to the object  but misses by a sliver - then you have a sliver of white on the printed  piece, which is highly undesirable.
    So you need crop marks so the printers know where exactly to cut the paper, and to cut into  the bleed so that you don't have slivers of white.
    And yes you need crop marks even if you don't have bleed, if you  don't have any bleed it's likely that the edges of the paper are just  white, so there are no markings where to cut to give the correct size  that you want. So crop marks need to be included no matter what.
    And the placement of crop marks is important. As I said earlier, crop marks are  for letting the guillotine operator know where to trim the page so that  it cuts into the bleed area. The bleed area to allow for mechanical,  physical and human error. And seen as the bleed can sometimes be  included in a final printed piece it is not desirable to have anything  other than bleed objects in the bleed area.
    For this reason you offset your crop marks to be outside the bleed area. As I'm in  Europe I work mainly in millimeters, so I would set my Bleed Area to be 3-5  mm (check with your printers for what bleed you should allow) and I would set my crop marks to Offset by 1 mm more than the Bleed (i.e., 4 - 6mm).
    This ensures that the crop marks do not encroach the bleed area. If your crop marks do  encroach the bleed area you run the risk of the crop marks appearing on a final printed  piece.
    So in Summary
    Make sure you have bleed where necessary on your document.
    Add the desired amount of bleed - in my case 3-5 mm.
    Offset the crop marks so they don't encroach the bleed area - in my case 4-6mm.
    (bleed depends on the printers requirements - then make sure you offset your crop marks to be outside the bleed area).

  • What are the best, affordable Macbook Pro speakers?

    I'm thinking $50/60 and lower range
    preferably 3.5mm input instead of USB 3 connection or bluetooth connection, but USB 3 is fine too. 
    speakers that give good sound like logitech, jbl, etc. <-- not neccessarily the kinds I'm looking for, any good ones will do- from any brand or stores

    Best sounding speakers is a very subjective term, what sounds good to one may sound horrible to someone else.
    I would take my MBP to the store and "audition" some and see what sounds best to YOU. (There are many out there so listen to a few, make some notes for comparison (bass, treble, loudness, clarity, ease of use, size, etc...)
    I would think any salesperson that wishes to make a sale would be happy to allow you to do this.
    Hey, it's your ears/brain processing the sound, buy what sounds good that fits your price range.
    Forget what the spec sheets say, as they are written by marketing departments, use your ears
