VideoStudio :: How To Reduce File Size (Save As MPEG4HD Or AVCHD)
Dec 25, 2011
I have videos from my camera at 1440x1080, and after I edit them on Videostudio x4, when I save them (using MPEG4HD or AVCHD for example), the resulting file size is larger than the original. So I decided to use an encoder such as Xvid for reducing the file size. I choose avi as the output format and then in the options I set the resolution to 1440x1080 (not listed in the standard combobox, btw) and choose Xvid as the encoder (also tried ffdshow). But the resulting video is a smaller picture with a big black border instead.
I am using X4 editing in 16:9. The original files are MTS. The finished is rendered to MPEG2 (usually 1.65G-1.8G) which can be uploaded to YouTube. I want to also upload to blip.tv, which requires files smaller than 1.5G. What can i use to reduce the file size, yet keep the 16:9.
I realise there are pros and cons to this question and the temptation is to opt for the highest quality, but the file sizes are huge. So, my camera files will be mainly 1080 files at 30fps, what will be the best file type/size to save files for future use. I don't really mind the rendering time and space isn't a huge problem, but the variety of file types is bewildering. Most clips will find their way to DVD but I don't want to reduce resolution as they might be used at a later date for Blu-Ray.
In VS X4 Create Video File there are several AVCHD settings.what the difference is between AVCHD 1440 x 1080P and AVCHD 1440 x 1080 ?With and without "P"?
I have a h.264 video file in .m2ts format, captured using a TV card, and I want to burn this to an AVCHD DVD. I've been trying to do this with VSX4. I don't want the video to be re-encoded because it's already in a suitable format. If I open X4, and then Create Disc and insert the video, the video plays fine and everything looks OK. However, when I click Burn on the final screen, I get a message saying that the video will take some time to render (oddly, since I've chosen the option not to convert compatible files, and VS seems to be taking notice of this choice because if I de-select it, the video size on the disc indicator increases). If I click OK, the rendering process seems to start but it jumps to 3% and then nothing happens. It just sits there.
I thought maybe VS had a problem with the video, so I tried inserting it onto the timeline, and I can edit and output it from there without any problems. But, I can't burn it to AVCHD DVD without re-encoding it, which I don't want to do because it will reduce the quality of what is already a compatible file.
I have Created few GIf images for website site but it not support big file size my all gif file size maximum 80 kb. i used few online tool for reduce size but after my images showing blur, I reduced file size and image still remain same. big file size take load time when upload in website, check example URL....and gif banner.
When you create a background from a layer the file size becomes significantly smaller. How photoshop reduces the file size? is it compressing the file in some way?
I have a PNG-24 file with transparent background and its current size is 1.5 MB. How to reduce file size or use PNG-8 file format and keep same quality ?
i wanted to reduce size of cdr file. I wanted to know whether we can change resolution ,colour ... its it possible to compress images with and without use of any software.
I have an ai file. It is exported from PRo-E, so there are lot of nodes in that ai file which makes the file size larger. Is there any way to simplify the ai file without disturbing the profile of the entities in ai file. I tried Simplify options. It worked a little bit. But i want any other option to simplify the ai file in order to reduce the file size in a larger extent.
Many of our AI-files have a tendency to 'bloat' to sizes above 60 or 100 MB, even though they relatively simple, all things considered. Â The obvious answer would be to save with PDF-compability, but since we need to link the AI-files in InDesign-documents, that's not an option. We have cleaned the brushes, the symbols etc. and all pictures are linked, not embedded. Â Are there any other ways to reduce the file-size?
how I'm able to reduce the file size of a .mp4 when exporting from adobe premiere? Â When I export in on the defualt settings it's file size is 120MB, and I'm aiming for 100MB or lower.
I have load of files that I need to clean up to reduce file size (mb) without reducing image size. I have manually been doing this in tree steps; merging active layers and deleting hidden layers, deleting unused channel/masks and deleting all paths. For the layers part I have managed to create an action and run it on multiple files through the file>automate>batch menu, I would like to the same for the channel and paths or possibly all three in one.
I have some jpeg photos that need to go into PowerPoint presentation. The file size is 2 meg. How to get that down?Would the technique also applyto a pdf? It is 8 meg.
I just got back from a trip where I took about 1,400 pics (Nikon D300) each of which is about 2.4mb. How can I save them in bulk to a smaller file size? I need to send them unedited to my Daughter so she can look them over and tell me which ones she wants.
I have a relatively simple drawing that I made in Autocad 2000. It has been scaled a number of times and I suppose this is the reason that the file size has reached 13MGB. This is too large for my email carrier and they will not allow it. Is there a way to reduce the size of this file to something more manageable?
I found a way to save a sub 1mb XCF file with a select saved as a channel and a layer of the image as a threshold. I can open the original jpg in gimp, select all, copy into new transparent layer in the tiny XCF file, do channel to selection, delete the threshold layer and I'm good to go. I went from a 27 mb xcf to a 0.5 mb xcf with the channel and layer for a 2 mb jpg.
At my low skill level the selects are usually the only XCF elements worth keeping. Everytime I've returned to a saved XCF weeks later because I knew more, I tossed it out and started over from the original jpg unless a select was involved. I could buy a larger HD, but I'm literally living out of 2 suitcases and expect to continue so indefinably. Keeping my pile of stuff small is a prime priority. Store them online? The only internet ISPs available here are rather slow.
I am preparing images for the web and I really have 2 questions: one about gifs, and one about jpgs.My standard procedure is to reduce the image to the desired pixel dimensions at 600 dpiThat gives me a crisp small image. then I either use it as is if the file size is low enough (I try for under 600 kb) or convert it to a gif with the save for web and devices tool.  So here are my 2 questions (I will count this solved with either answer)  1) When I convert to a gif I have the 4 boxes: one with original size, the other 3 with options but often the options are too low res for me How do I change my 3 options to start at a higher gif res?  2) If I try to reduce the file size of the jpg in the image size box I set the resolution lower ( 400, 300), which lowers the pixel dimensions and the filesize, but I don't want to cahnge the pixel dimensions. And If I reset the pixel dimensions back to the size I want them, even though it is a lower resolution the file size doesn't change.
How to reduce jpg file size using only the resolution, not pixel dimensions? PS I have tried messing with checking and unchecking the 3 little boxes( scale styles, constrain proportions, and resample) but nothing has worked.
So I am familiar with how to use Photoshop actions and how to batch process, but right now I am on a project where I need to batch process a large number of employee photo headshot images to be 100x75 pixels AND must be between 12 kb and 20 kb.
So the 100x75 pixels is easy, but my questions are this.
1. How can i have an action save the image image in that range for the file size ? 2. is there a way that I can have the action pause so I can center the person's head in the photo when cropping?
when i bind the xref's the file size is increasing up to 50mb. the size of the file before binding is 4.5mb. i tried all the options whic ppl given in the discussion here. purged(all regeapps,zero txts etc.),wblock even some lisps. but all in vain. even i tried to audit but it took 2hrs and nothing happened. this dwg containing only lines poly lines, blocks, txts etc. no images and not even dence hatches also. 1500 drawings like this. i have to submit the softcopy soon.
I have a DWG with 334 layers, Many have been Pasted in. I would like to reduce the file size of 30Mb and reduce the layer count. Can you produce 3 or 4 different DAG. by combining layers and save as a different DWG?
I have a illustration in .iso(isodraw) format. I'm exporting it to ai and opening in adobe illustrator for removing unwanted lines(becasuse the .iso is exported from Pro-E). Then Im reopening it in Isodraw to apply some line thickness. Because i want the file to be completed in isodrwa and export it to .cgm.
My target is to reduce the file size to very minimal. The entities in the drawing has lot of nodes. Im using simplify option in AI to reduce the nodes in turn the file size reduces.
What are all the other ways to reduce the file size without distrubing the profile of the illustration. Otherwise redrawing of the entire illustration will reduce the file size??
In a nutshell Input is .iso.......Output is .cgm. By using isodraw and adobe illustrator software which will be the best possible way to reduce the file size.
What is the best way to reduce an image's file size (say by 50%) so that someone with limited RAM can work on the file and then when they are done restore the file back to its 100% size for final output--without sacrificing resolution or pixels. File is a layered psd and will eventually be going to print.
A drawing is almost (20 MB). It is big I don't know why? It works normal in MODEL space. But when I switch to PAPER space, or to save, print, close and open the file, it shows very slow reaction.I made reset to the scale, checking LTScale, deleted all unnecessary objects, purge several times, UCS dynamic off, AUDIT, checking Xref's, texts are type (shx), No layers filters.The drawing has only one layout in few viewports. (isavepercent) to 0.BWhat can I do more to reduce the file size en make it faster?
I've heard that you can reduce file size using polyline instead of line while drawing (or vice versa... don't remember) is it true and what exactly should be used. I think, why we would need the line tool at all if polyline more convenient.
So in an effort to reduce PDF file size, I went to the dwg to pdf.pc3 plot driver and wen tot he custom properties. The dpi is set to:
600 400 400 400
I dropped the top number to 400 and the stucco hatch and AR-Sand hatch both print weird when we print to PDF. Some of the hatch is fine, some comes out too dark. It's pretty weird. If I leave the settings as the default then it prints perfectly fine.
Why those hatches might be affected by dropping the dpi? Everything else appears to print great and the file size is reduced.
