Work Flow - FCE to QT then compress and convert to AVI for web upload

I am creating movie clips that will be 5 to 10 min in length to be streamed on my website. At the current time, my CMS (content management system) for the web cannot accept H.264 (MP4) files, but can accept FLV, AVI and WMV. So, given this constraint, my workflow has been:
1) export from FCE to QT as self contained movie (Large HD files some up to 10GB)
2) compress down to a web usable size (maybe 180MB or so) at 640 X 480 using Elgato Turbo H.264 (however it only converts to .MP4 format)
3) use MPEG Streamslip to convert the compressed file from MP4 to AVI file
4) upload to web
My problem is that I seem to lose quality when converting from MP4 to AVI. Can anyone improve on this workflow or recommend products that might make this process and improve the quality of the final product?
I am still searching the forum, but only finding bits and pieces and not the full picture for my problem.
Thank you.

After doing this a few times, I remember why I was using Elgato...it is very fast and the quality is really good. MPEG Streamslip is almost as fast but slightly lacking in the quality. Still, it is really good. I just need to select the best output from Streamslip for the best quality.

    Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.

    Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible, to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
    *Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you will lose all personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.

    Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.
    If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.

  • How do I compress a 2 min FCP video into 100MB for web upload?

    How do I compress a 2 min FCP video into 100MB for web upload?
    I have FCP v.7 as a part of FCStudio
    OK, this may seem like a stupid question for most of you but I haven't used FCP for years.  I am trying to make and upload a 2 min video to the web and don't know how to turn it into a size of 100MB or less.
    Yes, I realize that I have Compressor but it does not work on my computer for some reason.  I think my laptop is too old for it or something.
    It needs to be in one of these formats and I would like to use the highest quality.  Suggestions needed for this also since this will be my first attempt at an uploaded video.
    .MOV, .WMV, .AVI, .MPG, .3GP, 3G2, .QTL, OR .MP4
    Any help would be wonderful!

    First, let me apologize for the way we were chatting on your thread while waiting.
    Let me summerize what I think we have here:
    1. You have a 2 minute show you want to convert to some codec appropriate for high quality presentation, but under 100MB final filesize.
    2. You feel you don't want to use Compressor or a preset for YouTube.
    3. You're in a hurry.
    The fastest and highest quality method of making this conversion is using Compressor. It is designed to do precisely what you ask. The codec you want is H.264.
    The YouTube preset is being suggested not because we think you're going to upload the clip to that site, but because the YouTube preset is a remarkably easy way to get a HQ H.264 clip with acceptable filesize. I'm staring at a 3:40 clip of 1080p that would knock your socks off and it's 90MB!
    Even on a laptop the conversion is a matter of minutes.
    If you're OK with my arguement, I'll write out a step-by-step proc for you and you can be done with this in time for that primetime show you want to watch.  OK?

  • Adobe flash won't work. How do I get flash to work? I've uninstalled then installed and still nothing.

    how do I get adobe flash to work? I've uninstalled then downloaded a Flash it says instll complete and then I still get missing plug-in messages.

    Uninstall Flash, reboot, and install new from Adobe.
    Uninstall: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-mac-os.html
    Install: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
    If that doesn't fix it, download Chrome from https://www.google.com/chrome . Chrome has an integrated version of Flash, which is a good test to see if Flash is the root issue or not.

    Later i have checked workflow mailer, it was down, due to that notifications are not reached to users/customers.once it is up and running mail notifications sent to respective users successfully.
    Many Thanks.

  • Color difference between PNG and JPG in Save For Web

    I am working on a website and I while building images for the site I am using a mix of png and jpg images. When I "Save for Web" the same source image creates two different color images when I save them as either png or jpg. How do I make sure the images are saving with identical colors in both png and jpg. Thanks

    >My working space is Adobe RGB but I'm not opening the sRGB PNG into Adobe RGB. I am choosing "Leave as is (don't color manage)" this should preserve the PNG's RGB numbers.
    are you certain it is not being converted when you open it?
    The numbers you quoted are the numbers I get if I open an untagged sRGB image into Adobe RGB (assuming Adobe RGB), and then convert to sRGB.
    If I open my sRGB images, either PNG or JPEG, into sRGB, they always match. I've been working on a web site for the past 3 weeks, doing this regularly.
    If you are working in Adobe RGB with sRGB images that are not tagged, you add a level of complexity that requires you make the right decision at every step. You need to open them without conversion, then assign sRGB, to keep working.
    Or just open the images in Firefox 2, which cannot color manage, and see if the sRGB jpeg and the sRGB PNG match. This is the acid test.

  • Work Flow from Dublin to New York and bac

    I am working with the producer of a project who is in New York. I am in Dublin and we need to collaborate. What is the best way to work on the clips so that we both can access them? Is it to store the clips on the web or is there a better way of handling this?

    If you're both working on the same project, clips can quickly turn into gigs which is unreasonable to send or share online. Consider capturing your footage and copying it to a separate HD along with FCP project file that is shipped to the other party for collaboration or if compatible format deck is available send tapes along with timecode logged footage on FCP project burned to CD for batch capture on other end. Once media is present on HD of both computers and as long as no new shared media is brought into the project then updates can be made by emailing eachother the small FCP project file.
    Try not to mix PAL and NTSC formats if possible to avoid setbacks.

  • Firefox freezes all the time, can't do nothing, CTL+ALT+DEL and then cancel and problem is solved for a few seconds, Win7 (64bit)

    When opening firefox, it takes forever before i can do anything. It freezes and I have to use CTRL+ALT+DEL and then press cancel cause it says firefox is running. Problem is solved for a little time.

    Solved
    Guys! i had the same problem before i fixed it. Firefox gets frozen only if you have fully charged your '''Bookmarks(toolbar/menu/unsorted)''' or '''History logs'''.So you should remove all your history logs and decrease the full bookmarks. it did work perfectly on my PC.
    Trust me
    BUUUUUUUUUUUT...
    in case of misfunction, then you should google the issue very deeply.

  • I purchased an iPod touch 5 64gb mint condition, it was working good but now I reset it and it's asking for the Apple ID of the original owner. Does anyone know how to bypass this so it works for me?

    I purchased an iPod Touch 5 64gb mint condition, it was working great but I reset it and now it's asking me for an Apple Id. Problem is it want the original owners & not mine. I would have no problem contacting the person I bought it off of but I no longer have their information since when it worked I deleted the emails!
    Does anyone know how to bypass this problem so that I can have the ipod work for me and my Apple ID?
    I would even take it to Apple if they could fix it, would they? and what might that cost me?
    Any suggestions would be great!!!!

    Nope. Only the previous owner can do that. See:
