Video/Photo limitations?

Budophile
Budophilestarted grow question 5 months ago
No help from FAQ. Does anyone know the limitations on pictures/video? Any other colorspace than rgb seems to f* up the colors on photos and video files seem to at least accept h265 but max resolution and file size would be nice to know. Over 100MB video doesn't get even processed

Despite improved browser support, on the server side most image libraries simply overwrite metadata, including colourimetry data (and I assume GD uses php_gd unstead of ImageMagick). Unfortunately, sRGB is still a standard for the web. And for videos… 100Mb is HUGE for a video lasting a few minutes. It's up to you to adjust the compression or switch to AV1 to reduce the weight.

Thanks a ton for everyone for answering so quickly! @m0use, I haven't got a single successful upload with a video file over 100MB+ and 1080p would be more than enough. Now I'm upping 480p with 3-4Mbps bitrate and it looks SHIT but I can't really go any higher with Adobe Media Encoder without making the file way too big. Takes ages to compress with it too so maybe I should just make a huge 5.3k for my own amusement and try some other video compression tool for that base video. @Angus_MacGrower, 100MB is insanely low quality for even less than a minute clip using Adobes h264/h265 encoder no matter the resolution. Got any recommendations on any free software to bring it down if I just go maximum render depth and resolution with AMC and compress that file then? Will try if VLC will do the trick! @BerrySweetHigh, Hah! thanks dude😅 @Polyphemus, Still waiting for a paycheck to buy an external flash.. better pictures coming in before the harvest! My DSLRs built-in flash doesn't work with the lens I got from my friend to replace my broken kit lens since it's way too big and 2/3 of the picture is just a shadow from the lens and I don't have a softbox or a diffuser to spread it out. The color depth in videos isn't the problem. I'm shooting 14bit AdobeRGB colorspace with my camera and if I import my raw photos as jpg I normally use prophoto/adobergb colorspace but switched to sRGB to fix the issue of colors being way off after uploading (reds tended to "bleed" a lot!) and it seems to be enough. I do have some banging CDM-R spotlights with CRI rating of 95-99 which would be awesome for photographing but no tripods/stands for those so it would be a big hassle to set them up.. better to just wait for the flash unit but using one of them as a backlight might prove to make some awesome photos. Cheers guys and gals! You're all worth the "answer" tick but as you know there can be only one!😘

I have never had any issues with photos but I also resize everything from 4K down to smaller to prevent long uploads. jpg format. As for videos I have uploaded long ones in the past and now a days I don't let it go over 2 min in length. h.264 mp4 encoding The size of the video has never been much an issue with me, they always under 250mb, I convert em all so they match frame rate and size,1080p seems to be the sweet spot, Can only upload one video at a time outside of photos or site tends to fail. and even when uploading photos only 5 at a time or it seems to loose some of them. I don't have issues with the colours getting out of wack. I use open shot video editor for my videos and GIMP for photos. Good Luck!

turn off grow lights and use lights that aren't bad for photography or buy some with the diffuser things on them etc.. h.265 isn't the cause. that doesnt change color depth unless you instructed it to do so. that's just your encoder. It's the same 'base' encoder as h.264 with some optimizations for higher resolution video. Greater compression just makes it more resource-intense to view it. i don't know what gd has for limitations. each time it refuses your file, try smaller, lol.. easy enough to figure out. the people that run this site probably wouldn't be able to answer that question either, bwahaha. There are also times which gd just doesn't accept a picture or video due to some other sloppiness going on in background. it's a poorly maintained site that multiple times a year will be a pain in your ass to upload anything.

Nice timelapse. Funny how fan defended space from girls ;)))) Think 40 sec video was longest i managed and dropped resolution heavily.
