Output for large video projection

I have shot video at 1080i50, ingested with AIC, editing in FCE 4.0.1 at sequence settings 1920x1080i, PAL. The sequence is desaturated (black and white movie) has NO audio and is about 10 minutes. Now I want to export this sequence to show it as a continuous video projection of about 4 meters wide, using a projector.
My questions:
- What media can I use: DVD? BluRay? Or should I use a notebook or iPad? Of course I want a high-res projection - though not higher than the eye can see.
- What export setting should I use working with those media/ devices?
I searched the forum but could not find an exact answer. However, if I missed a thread a link to it would be very usefull.

Hi Al,
This would be the best solution I am sure, but there's no Macbook available and buying one would be to expensive. Is there a lighter alternative to use instead of a MacBook?
The beamer I use now doesn't have a HDMI connection, so I will look out for a modern one.
Thanks!

Where can i hire 50 iPhones for a video project.

HI all, I was wondering if any one here would have a option or idea on where i could hire 50 iphones for a video project idea. I'm a creative director for a sports company and we have a idea using the video opition on the iphones and making a edit which will back up our new print and internet advertising campaign. I not sure contact how i would or could contact the right people at Apple that could help me. So thought i put it here.

Adobe stop developement of Adobe Flash Player for all mobile devices almost two years, ago.
Mobile Flash player doesn't exist for either Apple iDevices on iOS or Android device and their apps.
So, Apple is NOT going to be able to help you.
Puffin, SkyFire and Photon all charge a little for their web browsers because they are THE ONLY ONES, that provide any type of limited support for Adobe Flash Player.
There are no other apps or web browsers that will allow viewing of Adobe Flash Player based content.
So, good luck to you.

What PPI should I use when exporting for a video project?

I shoot RAW photos. I like and use Premier Elements 11 to make video. Frequently I insert photos in the videos and enjoy using the Pan and Zoom technique (frequently credited to Ken Burns).
Resizing photos helps Premier Elements to run smoothly. The LR Export command makes it easy. Using PSD files works well in Premier Elements. However, I am confused about settings.
My understanding is that if no Pan&Zoom or cropping is to be done in the video the export should be 1920x1080. If Pan&Zoom is planned, the setting should be higher by about 50%. LR makes it simple by letting you specify the "Long Edge" so the setting would be 2880. The short edge will match the original.
What about "Pixels Per Inch" for a HD 1920x1080 video project that may be played on a big HD TV or smaller YouTube? There is plenty of information about PPI for printing and computer monitors, but not HD Video.
Here is screen capture for reference:
What should the pixels per inch be set at to match 1920x1080 video? The 140 setting is a complete guess!
Thanks in advance!

The above sentence from your first post is the correct answer with a few changes as to what settings you need to use in LR's Export module.
Anytime you "resize" an image it will lose sharpness unless you apply Output Sharpening. I have no idea if Premier Elements applies sharpening, how much it applies, or how much using large raw images slows it down. The best suggestion is for YOU to resize the raw images and apply Output Sharpening that meets YOUR taste as to "crispness." That way Premier Elements will use the properly sized TIFF or JPEG images (no PNG Export in LR) with no further modifications.
For 1080p (1920 x 1080) Videos:
Don't use the 'Long Edge' option in LR's Export module since you want both portrait and Landscape images to have the same height. Instead simply enter W: 1920, H: 1080, and Resolution as mentioned doesn't matter. For the Output Sharpening LR's Screen Standard setting should work fine, but review the resized images at 1:1 and adjust to your taste. LR's Develop module Sharpening settings should NOT be used for this purpose. This is for the initial "capture" sharpening only.
As you mentioned when using Zoom & Pan you will want to increase the file size proportional to the actual Zoom setting you are using inside Premier Elements:
150% = 2880 x 1620
200% = 3840 x 2160
300% = 5760 x 3240
For best results I'd limit your Zoom to 150%, especially if you’re having performance issues. You also don't want to make your image larger than its native camera raw resolution, which will reduce the sharpness. For higher Zoom settings simply Export the images full-size without using ‘Image Sizing’ or ‘Output Sharpening.’ Use 'File Settings' JPEG, sRGB, with 80 Quality setting, which will provide good results.

Best practices for large ADF projects?

I've heard mention (for example, ADF Large Projects of documentation about dealing with large ADF projects. Where exactly is this documentation? I'm interested in questions like whether Fusion web applications can have more than one ViewController project (different names, of course), more than one Model project, the best way to break up applications for ease of maintenance, etc. Thanks.
Mark

I'd like to mention something:
Better have unix machines for your development.
Have at least 3 GB of RAM on windows machines.
Create all your commonly used LOVs & VOs first.
If you use web services extensively, create it as a seperate app.
Make use of popups, it's very user friendly and fast too. You no need to deal with browser back button.
If you want to use common page template, create it at the beginning. It's very difficult if you want to apply it later after you developed pages.
Use declarative components for commonly used forms like address, etc.
Search the forum, you will see couple of good util classes.
When you check-in the code, watch out some of the files don't show up in JDev like connections.xml
Make use of this forum, you will get answers immediately from great experts.

Canon GL2 or Sony HD camcorder for web video project

I'm about to start a web video project and need to make my year end purchases for tax purposes. The videos will be edited in Final Cut for use on the web - YouTube. They will be shot outside and range from 3-5 minutes edited. I'll want to shoot 16x9. What camera is best for this purpose and yield the best results. Workflow is also important as I want the process to be easy enough to facilitate the daily upload of new videos.
Thanks

Shooting HDV isn't my favorite workflow... read the article about editing HDV in the current issue of the Creative COW magazine: http://magazine.creativecow.net/index.html
Shooting 16X9 DV would be faster to do IMHO...
That said, all compression is sort of a garbage in/garbage out situation. The better the picture, the better the end product, so it's a tough call in that price range... if you could jump up a bit to a P2 camera, things would be good all around workflow wise... but it's a bit of a jump... the HVX200 is selling for about $5200 or so... plus recording media... but it would more than compete with HDV (in fact it's much better looking to my old eyes) and it renders almost as fast as DV does...

Problem with multiple output for software simulated project

When a software simulated project in captivate is published more than thrice, the output is not generated properly, i.e not in-line with the project. Is this a problem with my system or due to some settings in captivate which is not activated?

Thanks for the suggestions Malcolm,
They're very handy app's for sure, but unfortunately they didn't fix the problem.
Detour DID overide the routing for iChat's general bleeps & noises, but not the audio stream from video conferences (which is the problem I want to fix).
If anyone has any other suggestions for fixes, I'd appreciate it!
Thanks again,
Jason

Advice on best workflow for large Motion project

I am a part-time video editor/designer/motion graphics creator/etc. Normally, I work on projects with pieces no longer than 5 minutes, even if the projects themselves might be 30-40 minutes of total material--mostly video support for conferences and awards shows.
Right now I am embarking upon a mark larger project--10 30-minute segments, each of which is 100% motion graphics. They all involve a speaker against a green screen for the entire segment with the motion graphics keyed in front of and behind him.
We recorded this directly to hard drive in a studio that had a VT4 (Video Toaster) system, so the best Mac-compatible codec they could provide me for clean green-screening was full-resolution component video. This is giving me great keys, but I also have about 500 GB of raw footage.
In this project, I need to first edit all the takes from each episode into a clean 30-minute piece, and then add the motion graphics. And this is where my question comes in. It seems to me FCP is much better for editing the raw video, but that Motion is where I want to do just about everything else. I need to somehow bring the video into Motion, because I want to create "real" shadows against my background from my keyed footage.
When working with a long project, and with a full-resolution codec, what is my smartest workflow? I am trying to spend the least time possible rendering back and forth, and also avoid generating huge in-between files each step of the way. It seems that any way to approach it has plusses and minuses, so I want to hear from people who have been there which path gets me to my goal with the least hassle.

"Real shadows are only faked in Motion. You have many options including a simple drop shadow or a copy of your matte layer filled with a gradient and a gradient blur applied with a distortion filter so it appears to be projected onto the wall. Be sure to take the time to make this a template effect and to keyframe the shadow angle if the foreground subject moves.

Well, you've got two conflicting interests. One, you have to sync the Motion work with the video of the keyed speaker and, two, you have to edit. But it seems to me that your planning must include lots of design work up front, media you can re-use or modify slightly, text formatting that can be precomped, a large stock of effects you will apply over and over again. Do all of this stuff first.
You also want to explore working at lower rez through your planning and roughing stages. for instance, there's no reason to pull a full rez copy of your foreground into Motion if all you need to do is sync to his audio and get rough positioning. You can put him over black and export all of his clips using any medium to low rez codec at reduced frame rates and just use the Screen Blend Mode to drop him roughly onto your Motion projects.
You'll get lots of advice over the next few days. If you're posting to other Motion or motion graphics forums, please do us all a favor and return someday to all of your threads and tell us what you did and what you learned.

Long load times for large video tracks

Is there a recommended file size to stay under for video tracks in iTuens U? I know the hard limit is 500Mb per upload, but it seems as though any file that is more than about 10 minutes in length takes upwards of 10 minutes or longer to load. A short video (under 5 minutes) will load immediately. Is iTunes content not really streamed?

No, it is not streamed. But iTunes U isn't setup to be a streaming service. If you sniff packets (I didn't want to, but our security guy made me because of a local issue ... long story), you'll see that content is grabbed by way-of-an HTTP GET. There is a certain sense to that ... iTunes and iTunes U are, effectively, aggregators of content. You can get iTunes U to stream ... sort of ... but it is not a true streaming service (and, in fairness, it wasn't designed to be).
There is a trick you can play with encoding ... I don't have my notes with me (someone will remember) ... wherein you can ask that content be encoded to play as quickly as possible ... "instant on". There are a couple of apps, I believe, that help automate the process. It is not the same as streaming, but is helpful in situations in which you want a streaming effect.

Expression Encoder 4 Output for all video is a green screen with audio

I keep getting a green screen outputting any video while trying each setting. I've read somewhere that its the compatibility of the filters on the computer but I have no idea what do use to make it work. Any suggestion's would be appreciated. Thanks

I'm having this problem too. It's a shame no one has bothered to support this application.

2 incompatible file formats for a video project in FCP HD Academic?

Hi, I have Final Cut Pro HD Academic. I'm working on a video shot with 2 different types of cameras, one with a memory card, one with a tape. The files shot with the memory card camera are letterboxed and the ones shot on tape are not. Both files seem to be almost identical when you look at the specs. I'd like to figure out how to make the files either all letterboxed or all fill the screen, but not a mix of both. Any suggestions? Here are what the files look like:

You have a choice - either enlarge the letterbosed clips to fill the 4:3 screen (by using the scaling control for the clip). This enlargement will degrade the image, OR, on the clips that are not letterboxed, go to Effects > Matte > Widescreen and apply the Widescreen filter to the clip on the timeline. This will make the 4:3 full screen video appear letterboxed. You will loose some of the screen image when you do so, as it will be covered by the black bars of letterboxing.
Your choice.

Erased capture files for a video project

Is there a way to bring those files back from the depths of "Empty Trash" world?

Hi(Bonjour)!
If your project is composed of DV material, just recapture your project with original tape(s).

Trying to output best quality video for later work on a PC?

I have a video file that was sent to me to work on, add effects to, then send back to a customer for him to incorporate into a larger video project.
I have finished my work, but am wondering what settings I should use in Compressor to maintain the best quality file that will be easily readable by PC editing software (such as Premiere)
Please, any suggestions?

The best solution is to ask to talk to the guy with the PC and ask him what he needs. Hopefully he has some clue as to what he is doing and will give you direct answer. If he doesn't know what he is doing the first question you need to ask is he working in HD or SD? Start there.
Basically you really need to talk to the other editor. If you don't then you are just wasting everyone's time.

Ideas for Title, Credit on Video Project

Hi all:
Just looking for ideas for a video project for children that I've about completed. The elements left are the titles and credits.
So, I thought about making backgrounds/text with Elements. Drawing type? Crayon? Colorful? Pastel? Floating? Ragged Edge Background?
Besides ideas that are youthful...."kid like graphics", I'm not sure how to keep the text aligned so that it doesn't jump when I dissolve or transistion between video text events.
Hope this makes sense. Ask away if it doesn't.
All ideas appreciated.
Mike

Thanks Ward and Grant.....good suggestions to get my mind working. Sometimes you get in a rut with ideas.
Grant, as to your question/comment on text alignment.
Most video editors accept just about any image that a person can create using a program like PS or PSE. You just have to import the images in as bitmaps or PSD...etc. My idea was to create my text elements, in this case, credit and titles, using PSE because it's so much more powerful than a basic CG or credit generator.
So, I'd have multiple pages with lines of text on each page. Creating those isn't unique.
But, the one thing that I can't seem to make the work flow easy with is this: If you create an image with PSE that has one line of text on it, then how can you easily repeat that placement of text in another image? Horizontal and vertical? I thought about using the grid, but that seems sort of----well---sloppy. Isn't there another "sure fire" method. For instance, in most video editing software packages you can place the text based on X and Y coordinates. That makes it easy to do over and over again. Oh, hey maybe the key in doing this would be to simply copy and then re-edit the text.....but I'm not sure about that yet. Maybe I'm just dreaming or complaining too much.
Hey thanks again for the ideas.

3D Town Model for Video Project

I need to build some 3D historic town models for a video project. I own Production Premium which gives me access to the 3D features in CS6. Don't really want to spring for the Autodesk 3D stuff as this is a volunteer effort.
Has anybody tried a Photoshop / Premiere / After Effects animated model of some buildngs? They're pretty simple geometry--old wood frame houses, etc. Just want to maybe pan around a little. Change the point of view.
Suggestions? Alternatives (that don't cost as much as a new car)?

If you want to use 3D software then bring it into CS6 I would suggest going over to DAZ3D and download their free DAZ Studio software. I've been using Poser for years and if I hadn't been, I would be using theirs instead since everybody says it's terrific. A few months ago, they were giving away the pro version which sold for about $400. DAZ Studio also has a "3D Bridge for Photoshop" which can be used to transfer between the two programs.
They have a lot of models including people, buildings, streets, etc. Some cheap, some a little pricey. If you are a member of their Platinum Club, you get pretty good discounts and $1.99 products that are top of the line. They also have a lot of sales and giveaways. DAZ sells Bryce 7 which is a 3D landscaping program that is pretty cheap ($19.95) and sometimes they give it or older versions away. However, a note on their product page says it's not compatible with Mac OSX Lion and Mountain Lion.
http://www.daz3d.com/products/daz-studio/daz-studio-what-is-daz-studio/
If you're never used 3D software before and decide to try it, it's very addictive. DAZ Studio gives away a lot of models with their software to get you started. The store is loaded with just about anything you're looking for. I've been buying from them for more than ten years and highly recommend them for 3D products. They also have a great return policy if you buy something you later find doesn't suit you.

Can I break up a video project into smaller projects using prel 10?

I've created a large video project in prel 10 ( the 0s is win7). I want to break it up into smaller new video projects so I don't lose all my existing assembly and editing work. Can I do this and if so how? Thanks

Keep the original project and do a "save as" with a different name for each individual project and just delete what you don't want from each smaller project.
