What is the best way to compress for streaming internet use?

I have been having some problems using compressor when using the Mpeg-4 internet streaming option. I am compressing from Final Cut Pro HD.
When I send these 1 to 2 1/2 minute clips to compressor, it opens up the batch monitor, and within a split second, it vanishes and doesn't compress at all. What could be causing this?
Am I doing something wrong?

Compressor is a good way to do it if you have a large batch and have other things to do. For quick one-offs, I use QT 7 Pro.
They get all the way to the Batch Monitor, then you never see the successful message? I would try some trial and error experiments. Export to QT mov. Then load that to compressor. The link between FCP and Compressor could be broken. It happened to me.

  • What is the best way of compressing a large 3 hour final cut file

    What is the best way of compressing a large 3 hour final cut file. I shot the play and it is in final cut and I rndered it so now I have a 22gb file that I need to put on a dvd . Any suggestions
    Thanks

    Presuming your menus aren't complicated(include audio or video) the total size for the MPG-2 and AC3 files should probably be under 8GB for a dual layer disk. The inspector will tell you the estimated size. 2-pass varible bit rate would be recommended.
    Trying to fit 3 hours on a DVD-5 will only bring very noticable quality hits. Compressor will let you change the average bit rate so that you can fit 174 minutes but trade-off isn't worth it in my opinion.
    Be aware that dual-layer -R and +R media may not play well for everyone everywhere.
    I presume you are not making 1000 or more copies? If you were replication could solve this.
    One other alternative would be to break-up the show into two parts and spread it across two DVD-5s.

  • What is the best way to compress a song?

    What is the best way to compress a song to bring it into IMOVIE?

    I assume you are referring to compressing the file size of the resultant song, rather than compressing the audio dynamic range of the tracks in the song.
    GarageBand only outputs .AIFF files which are uncompressed 16-bit, 44.1KHz stereo audio.
    As far as I know, there is no point in compressing the GarageBand song before importing it into iMovie, because iMovie uses the same format for audio internally as GarageBand does.
    You can open a GarageBand song in iTunes and use iTunes to convert it to an MP3, but when you import that MP3 into iMovie it's going to up-sample the MP3 back into AIFF format anyway.

    Hi,
    Do as much as possible exercises based on your course material(which will be more than enough).
    If you know (some) Java and have understand the basics of OOP then this is enough for the exam.
    And do not forget:
    it is a multiple-choice test meaning that you see the possible answers.
    Either a single answer is correct (then you will have radio-buttons) or several answers are correct
    (then you will have checkboxes; in this case almost all questions will have more than one correct answer).
    You can refer to the topics for the certification

  • What's the best way to export for print?

    I usually upload images to my local photoprinting shop. What's the best way to do that with Lightroom? Since lightroom does the final sharpening in the print module, how do I get that into the exported file since there is no export function in the print module? Also, how do I get the proper dpi and sizing info into the photo for the print shop? Thanks.

    There is no good way to prepare images for printing from a file from a commercial printer by using Lightroom alone. You need to do an export of the image without any resizing or color space conversion, and then use some other program of your choice to 'finish' the file.
    It's just plain missing functionality... Lightroom assumes that you will be printing photos yourself and it is missing a whole lot of stuff in order to support external printing, including:
    a) Resize to exact pixel dimensions. Many labs require an exact pixel count for a given print size, so for example for an 8x10 they need a 2400 x 3000 pixel image. Can't be done in Lightroom.
    b) Trim adjustment. If you are doing full bleed photos (no margin), you might need to provide about 0.05 inch of 'trim space' to compensate for image loss during printing. Can't be done in Lightroom.
    c) Exporting to a specific printer profile. Can't be done.
    d) Adding margins, text, etc. Many times my clients want a 1/4 inch margin in their photos to facilitate framing, or I put a dim watermark type text in the bottom corner. Can't be done.
    My solution. Do most processing in Lightroom, do an export, and then do a second export via qImage on a PC. It does all of the above plus much more. It's just a matter of using the right tool for the job, and LIghtroom has no facilities at all for printing to a file.
    I have been asking for "Print to File" ever since I was under NDA during the betas.

  • What is the best way to set up Facetime if using multiple computers with one apple ID?

    I currently have FaceTime setup on my iPad 2 using my normal appleID, but have just recently upgraded our iMac from Leopard to Snow leopard, and have added FaceTime to that computer as well. So my question is this. If I want to avoid confusion with which device is called when someone calls us using FaceTime, what is the best way to distinguish the devices? Should I try to use a different email address to reach the iMac? Is there a best-known-method for this?

    That's a nice system Kevin, and it will work very nicely with Photoshop.  I do take it that you have 16Gb RAM in Total?
    250Gb SSD is a good size, but you can still run short, and that will affect Windows performance.  When you get your system, instal WinDirStat which gives you a graphic display of everything on your drive, like below. Clicking on any of the large areas will tell you what and where they are, so you can think about moving cache folders etc. to one of the HDDs.
    Leave the Pagefile.sys on the boot drive.  Think about disabling Hyphenate as it takes a ton of space, and too often crashes on wake up.
    My Documents
    Desktop
    Downloads
    Look at Bridge cache
    iTunes backup
    Other stuff like that.
    Think about another 500Gb drive just for Photoshop Scratch.  Drives are cheap as chips nowadays
    Do yourself a favour, and invest $100 in Shadow Protect (or similar if there is such a thing) SP saves incremental backups every 15 minutes (you can set the interval, but it has no impact on performance with a system like yours).  If you have a problem you can mount the back up at any of those 15 minute points, and open files from it.  You can also make a bootable DVD image of your C drive, and be back up and running five minutes after disaster strikes.

  • What is the best way to compress longer HD videos for the web

    I am struggling with the best way to post HD, as well as SD videos to the web - Vimeo as well as YouTube sites.  Some of my files are up to an hour long, and above.
    I've tried mp4, H.264 compression, multi-pass, as well as ProRes in various settings.  The files are either too small or too large.  I have an stand-alone Flash encoder, but it seems to take an inordinate amount of time.
    My computer only has a Duo Core - its the first Intel processor. Is it too slow to process these large Video files?
    ANY advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

  • What is the best way to test for collisions between objects?

    I am in the process of developing my first game, my first decent game that is. I understand how to develop the background and tileset for the game, but have yet to figure out an effective way of testing for collisions. As in you try to move the character into a wall, or another object on the level.
    If I divide the level into tiles, it won't be to hard, but I am thinking I want to have the hero be able to move all over the place, not just from square to square.
    Any suggestions or ideas will be greatly appreciated

    If I divide the level into tiles, it won't be to hard,
    but I am thinking I want to have the hero be able to
    move all over the place, not just from square to
    square.Err...
    So if the hero is not on a square, the hero is not on a tile and consequently is not on a visible aspect of the game world?
    I suspect that you wanted the hero to be able to move in any direction, not just the standard cardinal directions.
    If you're using tiles to represent the game world, then the solution is simple - check to see if there's anything "solid" already on the target tile. If there is, abort the move and report it as a collision. If there isn't, permit the move.
    It's only when you have a tile-less world that you actually have to determine if the leading edge of your hero crosses the boundary of an item (or border) that he shouldn't be allowed to cross. Doing so is complicated enough that I would simply suggest that you search the forum for third party collision detection packages that you can borrow.

  • What is the best way to create a multilingual site using adobe Muse?

    hello, inside Muse its ok with linking the menus to the different language sites, BUT if my site in german have 20 pages and i have to made the tablett and sphone version, will this be to heavy for Muse ? (of course the images will be optimised to the best size)… OR when i make a different muse document in english and upload it in a subdirectory on my hosting, how must the name of this english site of my german be? and how can i link them ?
    Thanks for help and comments, jc

    For me, as a noob, It's all about creative problem solving.
    For lots of stuff, there's no right or wrong solution, but you have
    to figure things out on your own. I, too, have built sites from the
    ground up, and then rebuilt them even better. It's the only way to
    really learn it well. Books, online forums, help docs all sort of
    help, but it all comes down to how innovative you can be with
    integrating them all into a site that is completely yours.
    This might save you loads of headaches: avoid using scenes,
    unless you are doing only animation. Keep each of your 'pages' on
    their own keyframe, and use 'gotoAndStop' to navigate through them.
    This is perhaps the easiest way to create a website quickly.

  • What is the best way to query for the roles of a 2013 Lync server?

    I am new to Lync.
    I am not able to find, but if anyone already asked and got answers in this forum, or documentation I will be much appreciate. 
    I would like to programmatically ( powershell wmi most likely)
    Get-WmiObject –query ‘select * from win32_product’ | where {$_.name –ilike “*Lync*”}
    Typically returns a lot of installed components, is there a way to tell whether a lync ( 2013) installation and deployment is either a Front/Back, or Edge or Mediation?

    What if, I use get-counter instead?
    E.g. if I am able to get something returned for 
    \LS:A/V Edge - UDP Counters(_Total)\A/V Edge - Packets Dropped/sec  , then I know it has Edge role
    \LS:MediationServer then it has Mediation role
    But then I really cannot tell for sure for FF or just Standard Editor Server.
    It is the list of server roles described in here that I am interested in. I understand Lync is very flexible in terms of deployment roles.

  • What is the best way to search for tags in Finder?

    There are a lot of articles out there written about Tags in Mavs. All of them cover how to apply tags, but there is hardly anything written about searching and finding files.
    Now, does anyone here actually use tags in Finder? How do you search for them? Did anyone ditch folders or stytematic file-naming?

    I am currently using and experimenting with Tags. Searching, finding, and managing your tags is pretty straight forward. On the far left side of any Finder window, you have a selected number of Tags predetermined and an option for "all tags." If you click on this link, it will take you to a menu where ALL tags in use are listed. Change the name and color for them just as you would any other file name (I have a usb mouse, so it's a right click for me).
    If you used the "labels" feature (color-coding documents and folders), you have used tags; its the same idea, but now you define a word as what you are sorting by.
    To search for a tag, I either use the in-Finder search or Spotlight (which may be the same, but I am not sure--I am also a newer Mac convert and am still learning the ropes). I have started to organize my schoolwork solely by tagging it, but I have run into issues where I have "Exam 01" for one class and need to make a second "Exam 01" file for another class (I created different tags for each class).
    I will say that, since I started to only use the minimum amount of folders, I have noticed somewhat significant speed improvements in startup times and normal use. However, this coincided with the release of Mavericks so I do not know truly whether the folders help or not.
    One of the things I both love and hate about tags is that you can search across multiple folders (or drives in my case) for documents matching the tag in question. When I download classwork from our school's website, I tag with the appropriate class name, and then move to external hard drive (yeah, I am paranoid). Unfortunately, if I then don't delete the copy inside the "downloads" folder, the document will show up if I try to list all of my "Class" tags.
    Best of luck,
    ~Zach
