To project onto a large screen

Hi, I would like to be able to project my photo slideshow on a large screen in an art gallery. What is the best way to save my file to do this. My photos are large at around 6000x4000, however they are all horizontal. The show itself is only around 8 mins long. Thanks

The information that we are going to have to coordinate
Premiere Elements 13/13.1 or Elements Organizer 13/13.1 for creating slideshow file for projecting on large screen.....
a. Premiere Elements 13/13.1 Editor Timeline content to produce the slideshow as a AVCHD.mp4 file (1920 x 1080p25), transitions, effects, no menus.
or
b. Elements Organizer 13/13.1 Slideshow Builder Slideshow with one of five possible themes for export as 720p or 1080p (AVCHD.mp4 file)...no menus.
Elements Organizer Help | Create slideshows
As far as I can tell that Elements Organizer Slideshow is only at 30 progressive frames per second. We cab discuss that later if necessary.
Either way, we need to start by knowing how many photos and the pixel dimensions and frame aspect ratio of each.
We know there will be between 90 to 100 photos. What is the pixel dimensions of each (width in pixels x height in pixels)? If the pixel dimensions are way over 1920 x 1080 16:9, then you may have to crop resize or resize them to 1920 x 1080 16:9 - depends on your computer resources and see Note.
Note: If the photos have a 3:2 or 4:3 frame aspect ratio, then you may have to crop resize to 16:9 1920 x 1080. If you have photos with 16:9 frame
aspect ratio, then you just resize. to 1920 x 1080.
If you use "a", your export will be
Publish+Share
Computer
AVCHD
with Presets = MP4 - H.264 1920 x 1080p25
If you use "b", after you build the slideshow, then you export as 720p or 1080p file to computer hard drive.
The Computer Player and the Projector
I am not sure if you will have a projector available to you or whether you will have to purchase one on your own.
Connections, resolution, etc of the protector may force the modification of the file creation. If your file has a higher resolution
than the native resolution of the project, an automatic scaling may occur for example from 1920 x 1080 to 1280 x 720. As
talked about in this older article on projector native resolution and maximum resolution.
http://www.projectorcentral.com/maximum_resolution.htm
Often you will see the recommendation to match the native resolution of the projector with the resolution of the file being
projected onto your screen...reason to avoid the automatic scaling and possibly less clear viewing.
Once we get more information on the projector, we can decide whether to go for a Premiere Elements 1280 x 720 16:9 slideshow
or 1920 x 1080 16:9 slideshow or other.
If you can do a private mini test run with the equipment that you will be using before the actual showing, good idea.
Just some thoughts for now.

  • Displaying or projecting your project onto a TV screen

    I want to display my Keynote projects on a large flat screen TV and operate the project from my lap top.
    How can the project be displayed on the screen?
    Does this require additional hardware?
    Can this be done using the Apple TV hardware?
    Does anyone know of a tutorial or a book which would explain this procedure?

    What format video inputs does the flat-screen TV have?
    IF it is a HDTV with HDMI input, all you need is a cable that connects from the DVI/D connector on your computer to the HDMI connector on the TV. Otherwise, you will need an appropriate interface from your computer to the TV. Check with your local Apple store for more information about this.
    Once your TV is connected properly to the video output of your computer, go to System Preferences/Displays menu and check the button: Detect Displays. This will put a window onto both the displays (your computer and the TV) wherein you can select the proper settings for each. (Default settings likely will be highlighted already.) This also should show your desktop pattern on both displays. (If you want, you also can go to the System Preferences/Desktop and Screen Saver menu. Here you can change the arrangement of the two displays and select a desktop pattern for each. The display with the menu bar across the top will be your Primary display; normally, this should be your computer screen.)
    Then, in Keynote, go to the Keynote Preferences/Slideshow menu and checkmark the button: Present on Secondary Display; this will put your slideshow on the TV screen. Finally, go to Keynote Preferences/Presenter Display menu and checkmark the button: Use Alternate Display to show Presenter Information; this will put the Presenter Display on your computer screen.
    Good Luck.

  • Best compression for large screen presentation?

    I've made a 4 minute movie which is going to be played through a powerbook during a keynote presentation onto a large screen. Any ideas what sort of compression is best for this purpose?

    Sorenson, MPEG4, and H.264 are each meant for desktop playback.
    Historically, Sorenson is the oldest in this group and H.264 is the newest. Predating Sorenson is Cinepak. Back in the day of QuickTime 2.5, Cinepak was the codec of choice for desktop playback. That, or you would go with a third party hardware based codec like Radius VideoVision or Targa2000.
    If your presentation system will have QuickTime 7 installed, then H.264 is probably your best bet. Have you had a chance to download and play any of the HD trailers from the Apple QuickTime Movie Trailers? You can see H.264 in action as well as get more information about the settings used in those files.
    H.264 takes a good amount of time to compress, so you'll want to be sure to allow for that when transcoding your video. It offers high image quality with low storage requirements and low bandwidth requirements when the right settings are applied.
    What resolution is your source video? In general, try to match your desktop resolution as closely as possible to your video resolution. Also, if viewing the content on a CRT, the refresh rate should be set to a multiple of the frame rate. For example, a refresh rate of 60Hz would be ideal for viewing NTSC material and 50Hz would be ideal for viewing PAL material. Although, from what you've described, you probably won't be concerned with refresh rate, but rather response time (an LCD issue related to the display itself, not display settings).
    If your source video is interlaced, be sure to deinterlace it prior to transcoding your movie.
    If your source video is DV-NTSC or DV-PAL, be sure to conform the footage for square pixel viewing.
    Also, remember that NTSC and PAL are both overscan formats. That is, the outer portion of the frame (typically as little as 4%, but as much as 10%) is scanned over the bevel of the TV frame (in other words, the outer edges are cropped). Depending on your source video, you may want to or need to crop for overscan.

  • Projection for a large audience

    I am completing a 30 minute program originally intended to be viewed as a DVD on a television monitor. The funders now want to project the program at a theater to a large audience. It was shot on interlaced mini DV by a competent cameraman with fairly good lenses. The program looks great on a television monitor but I'm concerned about image quality if it's projected on a large screen. The theater holds about 500 people and the projection throw is at least 75 feet. Are there any tools or processes that I should consider before showing the program on a big screen?

    Overall, do you think it's better
    to play the program from tape rather than a DVD?
    If you take your tape to DVD you will need to compress. For 30 minutes probably not that much and you won't notice a picture quality difference.
    DVD is physically smaller and easier to carry to and from the shoot than a beta deck. I don't know that you'll have a significant quality difference between beta and DVD.
    I've used both on large screen presentations. Just make sure you have back-up discs and tapes whichever format you choose. All you need is a clogged head or scratched DVD disc to screw up the works.

  • Play iTunes video through large screen off a Dual 2.5 GHz PowerPC G5

    I want to play iTunes videos out through my cpu onto a large screen format. Does not have to be HDTV, any screen will do. I own a digital firewire camera if that would help. Is there a compostie video out on my CPU? Some method to convert it to composite or component video? What about using something from Canopus to convert the signal? Any ideas?
    Thanks.

  • HT4114 Reduce file size when projecting onto large screen?

    Hi,
    Does "Reduce File Size" reduce the quality of an image or video that is being projected from my iPad 3 onto a 10ft screen via VGA adaptor?  I'm teaching a film class, and multiple film clips and stills seem to cause Keynote to grind to a near halt.   We can't really get the room adequately dark, so I really don't want to reduce image quality any further.
    Thanks in advance for any help suggestions!

    Gretchen ~ I don't know the answer, but can say that I know of only one process that reduces file size without reducing image quality. Perhaps others will chip in here with more suggestions...
    The free "JPEGmini" reduces the file size of JPEG images without reducing their dimensions or perceivable quality. The Web version allows you to upload and downsize one image at a time. The Mac App version avoids uploading and allows you to downsize up to 20 images per day for free.

  • What are best exports settings for project that will be shown on large screen?

    I'm working in AE CS6 and am preparing a two-minute video using type animations and some still cartoons and some still photography. The client will eventually show it through his computer on a large screen to a group of people. What's the best settings in the render queue to output this so it shows pristinely? I'm thinking a Quicktime movie output as Animation but I really don't know. Can anyone help? Thanks.

    Animation Quicktime is NOT the way to go. This codec will only playback in real time reliably on a super computer. You need to pick a good distribution format that will stick around. PICK H.264. Read on...
    If by large screen you mean a really big TV then make a standard HD 1920 X 1080 comp at 29.97 fps and render using the Adobe Meida Encoder. You can put your Animation Codec Quicktime in the AME if you like but I think there are better DI formats (Digital Intermediate). Pick h.264 as the format and pick the Vimeo or YouTube HD preset and jack the data rate up to 40 or even 50 and enable Multi Pass rendering. You will have a file that will playback smoothly on any modern system, even from a newer iPad or other tablet.
    If you mean a 4K display then use the same technique but create your 4K composition using the standard 4K display size of 3640 X 2160 and use the YouTube 4K preset.
    You can jack up the data rate for that preset also but don't go above 50.
    This will give you a file that is technically as good or better than you would get with a fiber connection to a 4K broadcast. How the project looks when played back will depend on how good you are at choosing the right techniques for your animation and color grading taking into account the color space you're working in, the gamut of the display, and the motion of animated elements as it relates to frame rate. (Hint: that's why I said to choose 29.97 as the frame rate because animating illustrations and text to look good on a big screen is a lot more difficult at 24 fps than it is at 29.97 and you don't need 60fps because what you gain in the elimination of judder you loose in the addition of compression artifacts when the data rate is the same.)
    One last piece of advice. Obsessing about the quality of your playback format to achieve the MAXIMUM result is for the most part a huge waste of time and energy. Get the color right and tell the story well and avoid juddering animations and you'll blow the audience away even at 10 or 12 Mbps HD. 90% of all quality issues in rendered animations that I've seen are issues of design and animation technique, not issues of rendering with the wrong settings.

  • Can Keynote project onto Apple TV?

    Is there a wireless way to make my Keynote files project onto my Apple TV?
    I have my iPad2 and iPhone synced on my wifi network at home (with the remote capability).

    The Apple TV and the iPad have to be on the same wireless network.  If you have both the iPad and Apple TV turned on, double click the home button on the ipad and swipe to your right to reveal the volume control.  If both the Apple TV and the iPad are connected to the same wireless network, a fourth button should appear in the middle (Airplay button).  Click on that, and you should see an option for the Apple TV with an on/off switch for mirroring.  Turn mirroring on.
    Once that is taken cared of, you should see your iPad's home screen on your TV.  You can then fire up Keynote on your iPad and that's about it.

    I would appreciate it if someone could advise me as to the optimum resolution, dimensions and dpi for actual photographic slides that I am scanning for use in a Keynote Presentation, that will be projected in a large auditorium. I realize that most projectors in auditoriums that I will be using have 1024 x 1200 pixels, and possibly 1600 x 1200. There is no reference to this issue in the Keynote Tutorial supplied by Apple, and I have never found a definitive answer to this issue online (although there may be one).
                Here’s my question: When scanning my photographic slides, what setting, from 72 dpi to 300 dpi, would result in the best image quality and use up the most efficient amount of space? 
                Here’s what two different photo slide scanning service suppliers have told me: 
    Supplier No. 1 tells me that they can scan slides to a size of 1544 x 1024 pixels, at 72 dpi, which will be 763 KB, and they refer to this as low resolution (a JPEG). However, I noticed when I looked at these scanned slides, the size of the slides varied, with a maximum of 1.8 MB. This supplier says that the dpi doesn’t matter when it comes to the quality of the final digital image, that it is the dimensions that matter.  They say that if they scanned a slide to a higher resolution (2048 x 3072), they would still scan it at 72 dpi.
    Supplier No. 2: They tell me that in order to have a high quality image made from a photographic slide (starting with a 35 mm slide, in all cases), I need to have a “1280 pixel dimension slide, a JPEG, at 300 dpi, that is 8 MB per image.” However, this supplier also offers, on its list of services, a “Standard Resolution JPEG (4MB file/image – 3088 x 2048), as well as a “High Resolution JPEG (8 MB file/image – 3088x2048).
    I will be presenting my Keynotes with my MacBook Pro, and will not have a chance to try out the presentations in advance, since the lecture location is far from my home, so that is not an option. 
    I do not want to use up more memory than necessary on my laptop.  I also want to have the best quality image. 
    One more question: When scanning images myself, on my own scanner, for my Keynote presentations, would I be better off scanning them as JPEGs or TIFFs? I have been told that a TIFF is better because it is less compressed. 
    Any enlightenment on this subject would be appreciated.
    Thank you.

    When it comes to Keynote, I try and start with a presentation that's 1680 x 1050 preset or something in that range.  Most projectors that you'll get at a conference won't project much higher than that and if they run at a lower resolution, it's better to have the device downsize your Keynote.  Anything is better than having the projector try and upsize your presentation... you work hard to make it look good, and it's mangled by some tired Epson projector.
    As far as slides go, scan them in at 150 dpi or better, and make them at least the dimensions of your presentation.  Keynote is really only wanting 72dpi, but I do them at 150, just in case I need to print out the presentation as a handout later, and having the pix at 150 dpi gives me a little help with their quality on a printer.
    You'd probably have to drop in the 150 versions again if you output the Keynote to .pdf or Word or something, but at least you have the option.
    And Gary's right (above) go ahead and scan them as TIFFs.  Sooner or later you'll want to do something else with these slides (like make something for an iPad or the like) and having them as TIFFs keeps your presentation looking good.
    Finally, and this is a big one, get to the location for your presentation ahead of time if you can, and plug the laptop in and see what you get.  There's always connection problems. Don't let the AV bonehead tell you everything will work just fine ('... I don't have any adapters for a Mac...') .  See it for yourself... you're the one that's standing up there.  Unless it's your boss, then you better be really sure it works.

    Do you think this product is possible?

    In general theory, one now has the Edit button for their posts, until someone/anyone Replies to it. I've had Edit available for weeks, as opposed to the old forum's ~ 30 mins.
    That, however, is in theory. I've posted, and immediately seen something that needed editing, only to find NO Replies, yet the Edit button is no longer available, only seconds later. Still, in that same thread, I'd have the Edit button from older posts, to which there had also been no Replies even after several days/weeks. Found one that had to be over a month old, and Edit was still there.
    Do not know the why/how of this behavior. At first, I thought that maybe there WAS a Reply, that "ate" my Edit button, but had not Refreshed on my screen. Refresh still showed no Replies, just no Edit either. In those cases, I just Reply and mention the [Edit].
    Also, it seems that the buttons get very scrambled at times, and Refresh does not always clear that up. I end up clicking where I "think" the right button should be and hope for the best. Seems that when the buttons do bunch up they can appear at random around the page, often three atop one another, and maybe one way the heck out in left-field.
    While I'm on a role, it would be nice to be able to switch between Flattened and Threaded Views on the fly. Each has a use, and having to go to Options and then come back down to the thread is a very slow process. Jive is probably incapable of this, but I can dream.

  • If there ever was a NEW update for iMovie, will iMovie have the ability to burn projects onto a Blu-Ray disc so that customers don't have to pay for additional software like Final Cut Pro or Roxio Toast Titanium/Pro?

    It would be helpful for those who are familier with iMovie to use Blu-Ray discs for burning and playing back their iMovie projects in HD. However, iMovie '11 doesn't have that special feature yet. I hear that 'Final Cut Pro X,' 'Roxio Toast 11 Titanium' and 'Roxio Toast 11 Pro' can copy projects like iMovie onto Blu-Ray, but it would take long periods of time to do that. Professional software, like FCP X and Toast, can be pricey.
    I'm hoping that iMovie '11 will burn projects onto Blu-Ray, but will that ever come true?

    Will iBlu-Ray be an upgrade? OR and update of iDVD?
    If it's an upgrade, then that means you'd still pay for it from the Mac App Store. I wish it would only cost between $20-40.
    If it's a free update of iDVD, but with the new name, that would be better than to go out and pay for things!!!
    However, external Blu-ray recorders would still be required if you were going to burn an iMovie project onto a blu-ray disc.
    Is there a way to put in a request for 'iBlu-Ray?'
