what is theoptimal file size for stills, and dpi?

In video dpi is not relevent. What counts in video is pixels. In FCP most recommendations I have seen is to size your stills so they have no more than 3 times the pixels in your project aspect ratio. For example if your project is 1280x720 then stills should be no more than 3 times the 1280x720. This allows you to crop the stills and still have good resolution. If no cropping is anticipated then they could be the same size as your project.

  • Huge file size for .ai and .eps

    Recently I upgraded fo Illustrator CS6 and found something that is going to screw up my working with clients. The problem is that the .ai and .eps files are having really huge size (67MB on an average). I have used about 6 images (jpeg at 1024x768, less than 1MB each) made them as pattern in the swatches panel and applied on various shapes. The .ai file size is 109MB :O :O :O . Another ridiculous thing is that an art that contains only 3 lines of text plus some circles and squares (3 circles, 2 squares) filled with solid color is around 68MB.
    This is really bad when I have to send the files to the clients. Please tell me how to reduce the file size without compromising on the pattern quality. Please, this is quite urgent.

    Dang! This is really weird. The files I was referring to were for iPad (artboard size 2048x1536). I opened a new doc @ 800x600 and copy pasted everything in the other file and saved it - 109MB file reduced to 402KB jaw dropper!!! I don't know the logic behind it, but I guess it has to be something related to artboard size ...
    Thanks guys.

  • Best file sizes for images and how they get loaded?

    I have 103 images in an album in iPhoto that I'm sharing with my new Appletv. Whenever I check Preview for the Screen Saver it always seems to show me the same 6  images. When I go to view the photos directly under Computers it shows a few of them instantly (these do not display under Screen Saver) though the others take a while to load.
    1. How much internal storage does the ATV have?
    2. Is there an ideal file size each of these should be? Will images load quicker if I can get them smaller?
    3. Why does the Screen Saver not show all of the images that also load instantly under Computer (I'm guessing they're cached)?
    Thanks.

    I havent heard of the appleTV  deselecting items it deems to be too poor resolution.
    Once it has a full cache (and it could support about 20000 large photos) you can expect that all images that show in iphoto also show in appletv.
    Do they  have some flagged designation? hidden?
    Are they variant in file types? jpeg png?

  • Maximum import file size for stills?

    I am getting an error importing stills that are large, about 6000 pixels wide. I wanted to zoom into the image in my 1920x1200 video... Couldn't find info on max image size... anyone know?
    thanks...

    Studio3D,
    I do a fair amount of work with stills in Premiere. I always plan the size necessary for the pans and re-size to exactly what is required, based on the Project's image dimensions. As I do not do any "random pans and zooms," (each is choreographed tightly) I do all of the re-sizing work in PS, before Import. However, with your hi-rez Project, you might well be pushing the limiting size in Premiere. You may have to step back, just a little, and tighten your pans to accommodate these limits.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
    PS I like the re-sizing algorithms in PS better than any I have worked with in PrP. Have not experimented with CS4, so I might change my tune, should they have changed their algorithms.

  • Maximum file size for importing into Premiere Pro CS6

    Hi,
    I'm considering recording raw video, no compression at 720p, 30 fps for 20-30 min.  This woudl result in a file that is close to 80 Gbytes.  I'm wondering what the maximum file size for importing into premiere Pro is and if I need to split this file up into smaller pieces.  Any recommendations on how I may deal with uncompressed raw video that is pretty long in length?
    Thanks,
    Serena

    There is bound to be some limit somewhere in the program, but you should be well below that. The biggest issue might be whether your computer is up to the task of handling it. If you will post your computer specs., someone will give you comments on that aspect.
    Good luck,

  • Optimum QT file size for web

    I'm new to iMovie 08 and iWeb, publishing to a folder not my iDisk. Is it better to use the Share feature in iMovie, or to export my video files to QT for upload to my site ? If to QT, what's the optimum size for loading and viewing?
    Thanks,
    Bob

    Is it better to use the Share feature in iMovie, or to export my video files to QT for upload to my site ?
    This normally depends on your target file/workflow needs. The "Medium" share option s a good, general purpose setting. It is compatible with QT Pro, iTunes, Front Row, iPhone, iPod, TV, gallery, and iWeb use via high-speed connection. If you want lower data rates, use a phone modem, mono audio, need CD/DVD ROM playback compatibility, or have other special issues, then other "share" pre-sets or export options with user selectable options would be better a better choice.
    If to QT, what's the optimum size for loading and viewing?
    Once again, the is usually a compromise between use requirements, work flow, and the contents itself. As indicated above, a 640 width with appropriate height aspect display is quite common for most uses. I tend to use this for most content that combines action and drama. On the other hand, for things like video tutorials, I would be more likely to use something on the order of a 960x540 at 60-70% of the data rate used for "movie" files. Frankly, ther is an entire range of settings and compromises that can be made between display size, data rates, and content quality which the user normally has to evaluate in order to judge what best for him or her in any particular situation.

  • What is the file size of an episode on itunes?

    I've just moved to Australia from the UK and am having to get used to download limits for the internet! I usually download my favourite shows from itunes but now I have to restrict what I download, What's the file size for an average 43ish minute show? I'm sure it says somewhere but I'm having a blind day! Thanks for any help in advance

    Now that you bring it up, the one I looked at earlier was not downloaded from the iTunes store. I looked again and looked specifically for store downloads. One show is 40 min, 3 sec and 440.4 MB. Another is 50 min, 36 sec and 560.5 MB. A third is 44 min, 29 sec and 502.8 MB. All of these are 128 kbps sized at 640X480.

  • What are shortest file names for outlook express and PSE11 to import photos pls

    what are shortest file names for outlook express and PSE11 to import photos pls

    Hi, Troubled. The size of the file name is pretty much irrelevant here to PSE, but to answer your question directly, you will be able to import a file that has only a single character as its file name (plus the file name needs to have the required extension, such as .jpg)

  • How does one change the font size for folders and/or file lists in the Bookmarks Library?

    How does one change the font size for folders and/or file lists in the '''Bookmarks''' Library?
    Since the upgrade to version 9.0.1 of Firefox, the Bookmarks feature changes are confusing me. They seem to be confusing themselves as well. The list of bookmarks has changed. The font size is so small that my aging eyes cannot read it without fogging the screen with my breath. Some folders are out of alphabetical order (where I know they were previously good), and some are missing altogether (folders to which I frequently add references).
    As for missing or deranged files or folders, was there something that I should have done or now need to do to recover those after the upgrade (or before)?
    With regard to font size,
    1. there is no “Edit Bookmarks” or like option to edit the list in this version
    2. the “zoom” option in the “view” list of functions is greyed out when in “Show All Bookmarks” window
    3. expanding the browser window has no effect on font size
    4. “Preferences” settings for font size has no effect in that window either, including advanced settings
    5. “Help” offers none that I can find.
    Can any of you Help?!?

    Maybe this extension helps:

  • What is an idea of maximum file size for a film in Captivate?

    Hi there,
    I'm creating an elearning course in Captivate 7, and it is being published as HTML5. This means the films I've imported are being converted to MP4s, and they are around 10-20mb in size once they've converted. They seem very slow to load on some computers - do you think the file size is too big? Or could it be another issue? Does anyone have a recommendation for maximum file size for films? They are 572 x 322px and around 1-2 mins in length.
    Thanks in advance

    Probably better guidelines that dictates 'size' of a vi are:
    typically no more than 1 video screen in size
    is it legible
    and is it's function and operation clear.
    I have seen examples of '1 vi does it all' that were many screens wide and tall, totally a flustercuck, and nearly 1 MB in size.
    Globals and local variables (except for LV2 style) are typcially shunned for they can create a host of problems (race conditions, indeterminant data).
    Use connector pane to wire controls and indicators to. Then use wires between vi's to transfer data. I tend to use clusters to hold shared data.

  • I need to save some pictures from iPhoto to a SDHC photo card for a digital frame and was wondering if there is a way to shrink or compress file size for each picture as I have already cropped the pictures? Thank you

    I need to save some pictures from iPhoto to a SDHC photo card for a digital frame and was wondering if there is a way to shrink or compress file size for each picture as I have already cropped the pictures? Thank you

    Yes, you do this when you export the images from the Library.
    File -> Export
    in the Size section, you don't need images larger than the frame size, so you can specify that and in the Jpeg Quality you can select the amount of compression used.

  • Ideal file size for photos

    If I am making photo albums in iWeb, what is the ideal file size for the photo file?
    My camera now is 7 megapixel, so the original file sizes are about 3 MB, obviously that'll be very slow to load.
    To what file size should I save it to make it load at a reasonable speed and still have a reasonable quality? 500 KB? 200 KB?
    In case this is a factor, the typical album I make would have about 40 - 50 photos.
    Also, what are the best ways to batch converts -- making a group of photos 500 KB instead of 3 MB? I know a few time-consuming ways (ie. individually resaving the files) or using a thumbnail-making program (have used a program called Thumbs Up).
    Any other suggestions? Thanks.

    If you are importing your photos directly from iPhoto to iWeb, they will be scaled down to a max dimension of 800x600. If you are using a photo template page or making a gallery page using the following method...
    http://www.mac.com/web/en/Blog/013C4180-4787-4847-BAAB-319222AFC652.html
    ...iWeb will also make your thumbnails for you automatically.
    For all your other freeform pages that you might make, it is always a good idea to size your photos down to their usage size. A good rule of thumb is to consider the width of your page, which by default is 700px. Then divide it out by how many photos across you expect to have roughly. So 3 photos across 700 pixels means that the photos should be scaled to roughly 233 pixels wide maximum. Just a rough approximation is fine.
    The reason I recommend doing this is that if you drop in a 2500 pixel wide image into iWeb directly, and you only plan on using it as a 233 pixel wide image on the page... iWeb will do a fine job of scaling the photo down to size BUT it will also save the full resolution photo as part of your web page....not to use, but just for safe keeping. And if you ever discover the RSS feed on your website, you will see that iWeb makes all of these high resolution photos available for download, too! So beware if you value your original work! Don't feed them directly to iWeb.

  • Maximum file size for export into MP4?

    Hello,
    I am not able to export 2 hour HD video into standard MP4 file. It seems that reaching 100% export algorithm gets into loop. I was waiting for hours and still had seen progress at exactly 100% with final file size on hard disk to be 0 bytes. I am using CS5 on MAC OS X. I had to split my timeline to 2 parts and to export them separately (which is embarrasing). Is there something like maximum file size for export? I guess that 2h video would have about 25-35GB.
    Thank you
    jiri

    You are right.
    So I am running AP Pro 5.0.4, Adobe Media Encoder 5.0.1.0 (64bit). Operating system Mac OS X ver 10.7.3. All applications are up to date.
    MacBook Pro Intel i5 2.53GB, 8GB RAM, nVidia GT 330M 256 MB, 500GB HDD
    Video is 1920x1080 (AVCHD) 25fps in a .MTS container  (major part of timeline), 1280x720 30fps in .MOV container (2mins), Still images 4000x3000 in .JPG
    No error message is generated during export - everything finishes without any problem...just file created has 0 byte size (as described above).
    This is my largest video project (1h 54min) I dont have any other problem with other projects.
    I dont run any other special software, at the moment of export all usual applications are closed so that MacBook "power" can go to Media Encoder. No codecs installed, using VLC Player or Quick Time.
    Attached please find printscreen from Export settings (AP Pro). Writing this ppost I tried to export only the first 4mins from timeline where all kind of media is used...and it was OK.
    As a next step I will try to export (same settings) 1h 30mins as I still believe problem comes with length of video exported.
    Let me know your opinion

  • What is the maximum size for mailbox per user (Exchange 2007)

    Hello,
    I'd like to know:
    What is the maximum size per mailbox, and is it not recommended to exceed 3 GB and about the items how many is the maximum per folder (inbox, .. )
    I've Exchange 2007 SP2, Outlook 2007 and 2010.
    Thank you.

    Hi
    There is no size limit on mailboxes up to the maximum size of your database.  I normally recommend 2GB mailbox limits if you have some form of archiving in place.  If you have no archiving in place then the limit should be set at the amount of
    data people need to keep - it is not a good idea for people to store mail in PST files because there is a limit on their mailbox.
    See this article for item count recommendations:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/905803
    Also you need to upgrade your Exchange 2007 server to SP3 ... SP2 has been out of support for nearly 3 years already:
