Pick and Choose - Current Video Encoding
Pick and Choose Video Encoding Settings
I started this project with adobe illustrator.
Switched to Adobe Flash CS3.
From Flash CS3, I file export as a QuickTime movie following the guide encoding of current. I used the 30 frames per second as it give better quality.
Switched to QuickTime Pro, I opened and export it to
mp4 encoding using this information from Current "AdvancedUploadingVideoEggGuide.pdf" that states that:
<---current video encoding settings starts--->
The standard VideoEgg Publisher encodes video at 320 by 240 pixels, and a
single frame rate, 15 frames/second. As a general rule, if you wish to export your video at a higher frame rate, we recommend you export at a multiple of the frame rate your version of the Publisher encodes. For example, at the standard publisher frame rate of 15 frames/second, the recommended frame rates for your video would either be 30 frames/second or 15 frames/second.
Audio encoding is carried out in 16 bits with a 44.1 kHz sampling rate in a single channel (mono).
Rendering your video at higher resolutions such as 640 x 480 pixels will result in a higher quality video online; however, there is a considerable trade off in file size. In this guide, we will focus on a best practice to provide an optimal user experience.
<---current video encoding settings ends--->
From FlashCS3 I adjusted the size of the Movie to 640x480 px. resolution.
I am looking for getting a final and fair resolution after uploading it.
In designing we all learned to work on proportions and sizes, so the rule was to work (1/2x) or (1x) bigger. Therefore my initial size on Flash was adjusted to 640x480 expecting that the current "transcoder" will shrink it to 320x240 thus shrinking the pixels. In theory and practice it always work and we get a better resolution. Let me see how my last result come along. If you want to follow this discussion follow this link as well.

I know this could be redundant but you are not going to believe how many people don't even go there. I am trying to get the most quality for my recent video work. My original is so crispy and fine but when I upload on Current it gets a little fuzzy.
Yes, I am pick on quality and never completely satisfied! It is the bad side of artists I guess. Anyway I am studying the exactly settings so I can get the most. If you are like me go for! Frustration is our main name but we get over it sometimes!

Latest News on video encoding.
Interesting I have been encoding video for the last month or so and here is what I find out.
1. Sizes (They are all proportional)
a. 640x480 <---This is the biggest size. I do not recommend it. The quality does not translated as expected on transcoding reduction.
b. 480x360<---I use this size a lot for Current and it is working fine.
c. 430x323
d. 320x240 <---Believe or not this size is also good and the quality comes out ok on current.
The settings for compression is usually H264, or MPEG-4, frame rate is 12fps or automatic, data rate also is automatic, Quality set to best. The sound is IMA 4:1, bit rate is 672kbits/sec at 44.1kHz, mono. I know this could be redundant but you are not going to believe how many people don't even go there.

Pick and Choose
I choose this title to represent ones responsibility towards media broadcasting. The idea is also to interpret media broadcasting spoofing. What is broadcasting spoofing? For those that do not know is anything that takes an original and serious theme and steal it inverting its meaning to call peoples attention. It almost like these "virals" movies, except that it is done in a mischievous way. Broadcasting spoofing is becoming very common these days because of relaxing and poor editorial review. Broadcasting Spoofing is not a good thing for education. It deceives and confuse children and adults to accept a wrong thing for a "just ok to do it" thing. It also shoots the medium in the foot because those that are watching feel somewhat uneasy with the mix-message. Therefore "Pick and Choose" is calling you for you to be a little more responsible with that. Do you have what it takes to be a broadcast editor?
