Producing and playing back a multi-image show

I've been asked by a photographer friend to produce a 'show' of his work (projected to an audience of about 200). Many of his photos are high quality landscape panoramas.
My hopes are to produce a soundtrack and have images moving/dissolving in synchronisation with it. I'd also like to have it projected at the highest quality, possibly with multi-screens.... maybe utilising 2 or 3 decent (matched) projectors.
Where to start???
How can I synchronise 2-3 projectors... what do I playback from... do I do 2-3 movies from FCP...???
There is a sponsor who wants to know how much it will cost... so I'd like to look at a couple of options.
Look forward to hearing your thoughts/ideas.

There are specialized "video wall" software/hardware solutions. I've never used them so can't comment on their applicability for your purposes.
A simpler way may be to acquire a Matrox Triple head to go DVI splitter and 3 DVI capable projectors.
Set up your project as a super wide screen custom sequence (eg 3x 1280x720p = 3840x720 progressive) and place your images within that framework. When you play it back, stretch the playback image over the three projectors.
I have no idea whether this would actually work ... lol. but one thing to be aware of is the the three projectors will not likely all be able to display exactly the same color at the same time. What this means is if you have images that slide from one display to another, there is likely to be a discernable color shift.

DVD Recorder Play Back of JPEG Images enhanced using PSE 2.0

I recently purchased a HDD DVD Recorder but am having difficulty playing back JPEG still photo images contained in CD-Rs produced on a PC (Operating system XP SP2). Images are all collectively revealed in thumbnail form in the Picture View but only those individual images that have NOT been PSE 2.0 enhanced (e.g. improved contrast, cloning etc.) can be expanded to full screen view. In the case of the others, the following message is displayed : Can not be played on this unit. All images play back successfully on DVD/ CD drives of original PC.
The only solution I have found is to open & save to MS Paint (stripping out hidden data ??) before burning to CD. However, this is laborious and reduces resolution.
Any other suggestions welcomed.

Hi Malcom,
You can export as new file from Organizer and then use those new images to burn to disc.

I'm trying to use iTunes Remote to share my music library across my network to various devices; it works with some caveats; I thought I'd be able to see and play back to the device (iPhone or iPad) just like I can to my apple tv or airport. I can't..

My question is whether my IOS devices should appear on the Airplay device list in the Remote application... right now Apple TV, Airport Express, even my Samsung Note 3 appear as devices I can stream my iTunes library to... I can't seem to find a way to add the iPad or iPhone to that airplay list... I can use either the iPad or iPhone to direct playback to any of the listed devices... that works great... but, they don't seem to allow me to direct playback back to the device I am using as the remote. I'm trying to figure out if this is by intent or just not working right.
As a point of context, I am able to use my Samsung Note 3 to do exactly what I am trying to do with the iPad and iPhone... it works great.
And I understand that Apple intended me to use the Music app to play my shared library to my device... however, I have a BIG music library and when I ask the Music app to load up my shared library the little red circle gets about half full and hangs up... it never get there. The Remote app is great... I can see the whole library instantly and play any song I want to the listed Airplay devices... that part is sweet... but I can't (and maybe there is no way to) add my IOS devices to the airplay playback device list.
I've burned a lot of time trying to figure this out... any help, including somebody telling me that it just isn't supposed to work that way, would be appreciated.

You have to swipe in a left to right motion. If the airplay icon isn't showing up it's likely something within your network that is blocking it. You can also try rebooting devices and router.

Recording TV on my iMac and playing back on a Windows PCa

I work nights and miss most of the TV shows I like to watch. I want to record TV on my new iMac and be able to play the shows back on my PC laptop.
I have an Elgato 250 plus and all the software loaded on my iMac. Elgato uses Titan TV for the channel lineups.
While Elgato claims I can export my recordings to WMV, in fact I can only export to QuickTime. My export to WMV is about 5mb in size for an hour program which is about 3 minutes of show play time. Elgato says it should work and that is all they can do for help.
On Tuesday of this week, my EeTv stopped connecting to TitanTv for channel update, and no-one, TitanTv nor Elgato is willing to respond t this problem. When I try to manually update my channel lineup, I get the error message incorrect provider ID.
Is there anyone else that provides a TV tuner and recording software for the iMac?
Thanks for your help

Hello,
Sounds like you could do with removing and re-installing EyeTV as it's not working properly. It would also be worth trashing the preferences.
In the meantime try exporting to H.264 MPEG instead.

Subtitles won't play back off disk image or DVD player.

Hello,
I am running into problems seeing the sole subtitle track that I have thru a TV DVD Player or a burned disk image. All is fine in DVD SP's Simulator. So the bottom line is that I am doing something wrong, heh?
My set-up is very straight forward: one main menu page, from which I have a "Subtitle Yes No" set of buttons to respectively enable/disable the subtitle track. The "Yes"/"No" buttons enable/disable the subtitle track by checking/unchecking the "View" box of the Button Inspector as described in the first part of this article: http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/dvd_sp2subtitles.html
Furthermore, other menu pages are accessed, playing back media from a single track with numerous chapters in it, and stories made out of that track. I was hoping I could refrain from needing to duplicate all stories, e.g. One set of stories with the subtitling track enabled, the other set disabled, but it seems like this is the way to go to make it work.
Is there another approach to this? I am rather new to DVD SP and am not familiar with Scripts - would a script help this out?
Thanks in advance for any help you could provide...
Cheers,
Alain

OK so I've answered my own question, thought I'd post it here if ever this can help someone else...
Duplicating menus and stories toggling on/off the "View" checkbox of my subtitle stream did not work, which is a good thing in a way because it was an ugly scene to work with.
I guess I was impressed by the "Script" term and refrained from using it, but it turns out to be very easy and simple to use... On my "Subtitle - Yes" button, I targetted a 2-liner script that enables "SPRM 2" (the "Subpicture Stream") with the "On" value of 64 for Stream 1. On my Subtitle - No button, I targetted another 2-liner script that disables "SPRM 2" by assigning it a value of 0.
I find the DVDSP documentation on scripting a little lame though, I guess I would have liked some more examples to help the scripting "science" sink in...
Cheers,
Alain

Does Premiere 5.5, on a Mac, with a AJA Kona 3G display and play back footage from a RED Scarlet-Dragon or Epic-Dragon in 4k?

I currently work on the following mac. It has an AJA Kona 3G Card.
Curious if I can get this system to play back the red files on the client monitor. I'm using a JVC
DT-R24L41DU.
I know that this monitor won't display the 4k image. I will be getting one that does. But for sake of argument, does anyone have any success with the config I have outputting 4K to a client monitor?
thanks,

The optimal RAID solution are the ARECA raid controllers. If you want a total engineered RAID solution one of the Areca outlets can do that for you. Another total systems solution is probably available from ADK VideoEditing, they use an also good line of RAID controllers from Intel which are actually manufactured by LSI
Also look at our PC oriented benchmarks PPBM5 and notice that many of the better scoring systems use Areca and Intel.
I wish we had a procedure to test Macs with our PPBM5 tests but both Harm and I are not Mac users so we cannot use the Mac terminology to write one. Eric at ADK since he sits on both sides of PC and Macs has run PPBM5 on a well set up Mac Pro 2010 using the onboard RAID controller. Maybe with your heavy PC background you could interpret the PC procedures to your Mac and see how those two machines compare. If you are interested PM me and I can give you more information

Have a mac mini. Just got a external HD. I want to store my itunes media on my external HD and play back on Windows XP laptop. My laptop does not recognize the HD. Only recognizes the empty partition I created on my mac when I partition the drive. What's

I have a mac mini-snow leopard. I recently bought an external HD. I want to use part of the HD to back up my mac via Time Machine. The other part I want to use to store my Itunes and other media such as movies with VLC so that I can take the HD and play it back thru my windows XP laptop. The problem is that my laptop does not see the part of the external drive that has my mac info stored on it. Only sees the drive ( as drive E ) with zero data that was created by me when I partitioned it on my mac. I partitioned the drive in two. One partitioned under GUID for mac. The other part under exfat for windows. Any suggestions on why my XP laptop cannot view the mac info on the HD. Thanks.

Dvd studio pro: plays back sound witout image

I just burned a small project following all prescribed settings for compressing and mastering (these have worked in the past), the dvd will playback fine on my computer but when played back on home dvd system only the audio is present.
thanks for any help that can be passed along.

It seems to me that this comes under the "weird stuff is happening" with writable DVD media section. DVD+R and DVD-R are not the most reliable things in the world, especially with older players and strange things can happen. Here's what I would do:
First, confirm that your video cables are connected to the television from the DVD player (HDMI, DVI, Component, SVHS, RCA, etc.)
Second, what type of disc are these? Who is the manufacturer? Some are more reliable than others.
Third, try it out on a few different DVD players and a few computers.
Fourth, if you find that it works on most players, but not one, try changing the brand of disc. DON'T USE MEMOREX!!! Stick with Taiyo Yuden and Verbatim for the best results. Then try writing it at a slower speed.
Hope this helps. Let me know.

While playing back a video file the sound goes sort of like an echo and stopping the video and playing back again it sound great, the video is recorded live with an AJA system and plays fine on the units;any clue to what is going

While playing back a video recorded on a AJA system we transfered it to the macbook pro played it with quicktime works great and sometimes it sounds like an echo same file track and it plays fine on the aja system.Tried it on another macbook pro and it did the same issue.Any clue to what is going on.Thank you.

Thank you supermacmom!
I have the LifeProof case for the iPhone5, and I remember the instructions saying that any protective screen cover should be removed before enclosing the phone into the case, but I left mine on with no ill effects.
But I should have taken off the back protective film, which was covering the video mic!

Audio out of sync. once it's uploaded to vimeo and played back looks like the old godzilla movies. PP Pro CC 2014. frame rate is correct.

Has anybody experienced major lag time on the audio once uploaded to Vimeo? Vimeo is pointing to the export. The delay clearly gets worse once it is played back from Vimeo. I am at the point of splitting video and audio on the timeline and moving the audio forward a bit at a time to see if that will solve. Feels stupid to be doing this after all the work that goes into a 45 min Doc

First of all, when you export, you should see the dialog box that has information about the source video as well as the export. If you are shooting 25fps then you are not in the USA. If you are in the USA, look harder at your export settings.
But that isn't the problem you are facing.
Are you using the Vimeo app to play the videos on the iPad or are you just playing it in a browser? Use the app if you aren't now doing so.
I doubt that you are using anything other than AAC for your audio from what you have said about using the presets, but I have to ask. You are using AAC, right? That is what Vimeo prefers.
Have you tried turning the HD off in Vimeo to see if that clears up the problem? That will probably be fine on a smartphone. An iPad might see the difference though.
You are not going to be happy reading this Vimeo.com thread, but here it is anyway.
I don't even know what to make of this one.
In any case, you will read for yourself that you may want to change browsers on the mobile device.

Dragging and playing back multiple MC motion

Ive been on this case for a while now, and really havent gone
anywhere with it.
Just curious to see if anyone has any samples or examples of
multiple MC's being dragged around, their motion recorded and then
played back.
I dont seem to be having trouble with moving one mc around
and playing it back. i store the coords of the mc (onenterframe)
into an array, and on playback just traverse back the array.
Im having difficulty when there are more than one mc's,
trying to figure out which mc's moved in which order, and what not.
I dont want to store all the mc's coords in one array, but
have their own array. The reason for this is, that the second part
of my problem is figuring out a way of assigning multiple mc's to
move simultaneously.
i guess the easiest way to think of this would be like
drawing a foot ball play on the computer and replaying it back.
Anyone have suggestions?
Thanks

This is really kind of a complex project and it seems that
there is a lot to the design of it. There are probably at least a
dozen good ways to do this. But the main guidance I would give you
is, "If you need to keep track of something – then do so!" In
otherwords, if each clip having one array isn't letting you keep
track of which order things were moved in, then start a new array
that just keeps track of that.
So there are two modes – playback and record. The needs
of playback will dictate what is recorded in record mode. So let's
think about playback mode first.
Playback also has two modes – simultaneous and
sequential. Sometimes the clips will need to play in the order they
were originally moved and sometimes two or more will need to do
their thing at the same time. Is this right so far?
If that is the case then I would probably us a lot of arrays.
We need to track any give move of an item as well as the over all
order of their movements.
So each time a clip is moved I would create an array, they
could be numbered sequentially or with a time stamp of some sort so
that if clip5 was moved and then a bit later it was moved again it
would have two arrays recording the two different paths. I would
probably call these pathArrays and store them within the clip
themselves. So clip5.pathArray1, clip5.pathArray2, and so on.
At the same time, I would have another array that records the
order or movement. So the first time clip5 moved it would also
record that clip5 moved first. Does that make sense? I would
probably call this the moveOrder array and there would be one for
the whole setup. It would probably contain info like this:
moveOrder[0]={name:clip5,seq:0,startTime:1387}
That would read that the first thing moved was clip five, it
is the first time (remember arrays are zero based) that particular
clip has been moved, and it was first dragged 1387 milliseconds
after the player started. You might also add other bits of info
that you need to record. The next time clip 5 is moved its seq
number will be 1, then 2, and so on.
Playback would then step through the moveOrder array,
reference it to figure which pathArray to replay, when the playback
got to the end of the pathArray it would check the next element in
the moveOrder array to see what to play.
If you know that just want to see all the paths of a given
clip you would just iterate through all of the pathArrays or if you
wanted all the odd number clips to move at the same time you would
just iterate through all their pathArrays.
Anyways, what do you think? Would that meet your
needs?

I want to open a file and play back by clicking play icon, but Audition doesn't react.

I've recently moved my computer with Windows 7 to Spain. Everything works fine, but not my Adobe Audition CS5.5. I want to open a file and click my play button, to play back the file, but Adobe doesn't react. Anybody know what could be wrong?

I would try checking your hardware setup to ensure that your playback device is selected and setup properly
