exporting Apple ProRes for web

[Rafael Amador]

I don’t think you can upload anything bigger than 1920 x 1080.
Although I’m not sure.

Max size for Video is 1280 x 720 and they do not accept ProRes files. So, transcode to h264 or MP4 at 1280 x 720.

Thanks for the info David.
I had no idea you can not upload ProRess, but is something not to try even if possible.
The H264 with good data rate keeps an incredible quality and really fat to upload.
BTW, Andy Mee commented that he found the best quality for a similar conversion (if I’m not wrong) with MPGStreamclip converting to “unscaled .mp4”.
Cheers,

I had a ProRes video I uploaded to Vimeo. It was 1440 x 1080. I tried both, can’t remember why I abandoned the compressor method. I think i finally went back to using QuickTime export with the settings specifically recommended in the Vimeo tutorials. If you haven’t checked out their tutorials yet, give it a look. I think you get to them through the discussion forum. They have one for just about everything you might want to do on Vimeo.

Chris,

The problem was in the monitor, not the adapter. VGA is analog, and old-school, not the type of monitor you want to be using for x800 XT, which is (was) a high-performance digital monitor with advanced graphics capabilities. DVI and ADC are digital connectors, and so the adapter simply swaps the connectors, and just passes the digital signal straight through.

I never intended to use the vga monitor for “monitoring”. I was going to hook that up only for the “desktop view” and simultaneously “monitor” on my Apple Cinema Display.

No problem hooking up the cinema display because that just goes from dvi to dvi. Even if I had needed to go from dvi to vga that would have been no problem.

The thing that put the vga out of the mix as far as a choice for the desktop editing view, was that the adc to vga are no longer available. adc to dvi is available, but that is not what was needed in that case.

For myself, I found the workaround. But I was just giving a heads up to person who started this thread that there was more to consider than just the cinema display and the mxo when he’s calculating and affordable solution. But maybe he already has that part figured out and is just wondering how good the mxo w. the cinema display is. I’d say, close enough depending on your clients and what they’ll view the project on.

For me, a critical part of the setup is keeping my old std def ntsc monitor in the loop, which is better for evaluating things (other than resolution) in combination with the cinema display.

Thanks all for the thorough help!
