What resolution to export images for projection?

I am trying to figure out what to set the tage parmaeters in Foto Magico for a slideshow to be projected. The only information I have about the projector is that "images are generally best at 1050 on thier longest side." Not very helpful. I have multiple dimensions - 4:3, square, etc. Just trying to figure out what to set the stage to so I can create an export parameter fpr my images at 1050 on longest side still have some black around. The only info I can find is HD resolution, which I don't want as it seems to be cropping my 4:3 images. Any thoughts or FM users?
thanks
Nancie

I agree it isn't very helpful...but that is all I have been told. Still trying to fiond out what the projector resolution is.
I am using a fit within...but everything I am reading about projectors tells me I should be able to use higher resolution for a projector. This is more of a Foto Magico question as it pertains to images coming from Aperture.
It is less the image resolution and more the slideshow settings I am trying to figure out. Maybe this is not the right place to post...  Thanks Frank.

  • 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.

  • Any ideas what resolution and size images I should ask for advertisers?

    I plan to work on iPad android and PDF interactive.
    What resolution and size images should I ask to advertisers?
    And video size as well.
    Would be full page, half page, 2/6 page, 1/6 page.
    Anyone has experience in this?
    Thanks !!

    Thanks I already put practical approach to the situation:
    I noticed when an image with a size 1024 x 768 pix at 72 dpi was used to make a folio, the resolution result was bad.
    What turned workable was to ask for full page: 13.5 width by 17.5 height in inches (and yeah with 72 DPI), then when adding the image to the folio the quality is very good.
    The rest of the sizes were the result of using percentages with the basis 13.5x17.5 inches

  • If exporting images for backup, to reimport into a clean aperture or other program, is it best to use 72 dpi or 300 dpi, or does it matter?

    If exporting images for backup, to reimport into a clean aperture or other program, is it better to use 72 dpi or 300 dpi, or does it matter?  I want the best quality for any future unforeseen use. 

    I am somewhat reluctant to answer your questions after Frank Caggiano's excellent advice, but I really do not like to leave the question open, for there will be many occasions when you will need to export images and to understand how it works.
    But please, follow Frank's advice, right now you do not need to worry about pixels and dpi. That is exactly what I meant, when I suggested to you to make sure you keep a copy of your Aperture Library and to back it up with all your other data, before you erase your disk for a clean reinstall.
    DPI revisited:
    So, is the dpi setting only for exporting to print?
    The dpi settings are necessary to define the size of a digital image, since pixels don't have any dimensions. And since you cannot print or display an image without knowing its width and height, you will need to specify dpi when you are printing or scanning.
    If I leave it at the default 72dpi will there be any problems getting quality prints in the future from jpeg versions exported with that setting?
    Not if you export with the original size - the maximum number of pixels available. That will ensure the maximum print quality.
    The dpi settings are required to export versions; versions are derived from the masters and new image files are computed. When you export masters you get a copy of the original file that already may have a dpi setting.
    If I choose "export masters", will aperture will export my masters just as they are? 
    yes, and  you may add IPICT data if you choose
    Pardon my thick skull--I'm an old dog trying to learn new tricks in this digital world!
    No apologies necessary, we were all beginners once
    Here is another example, maybe that helps a little:
    I exported an image (jpeg) with three different setting: export masters, a version with 72dpi, a version with 300dpi and inspected the files in Graphic Converter:
    The master was exported like this:
    Notice, the master had already dpi settings, although I did not specify any on export.
    The size is 51,48 cm x 38,61 cm.
    The 72 dpi Version has larger dimensions, but also 10 Megapixels.
    and here the 300 dpi version: smaller dimensions, same amount of pixels.

  • How to maintain high resolution of exported images

    I am working with iphoto 5.0.4. When trying to export (share>export) an image as a 'Full Size' image (3264 x 2448 4.5 MB) to the desktop it appears at that size with 300 dpi resolution. However if I export the same file as 'Scale image as no larger than:' the resolution remains 300 dpi but the size is reduced to 2.4 MB while the dimensions remain the same. And finally if any cropping is performed or if I resize the dimensions of the image, the exported image will reflect the altered size but also the dpi is reduced to 72. What gives? Does that mean that the printed version will only print at 72 dpi? How can I create a smaller size image and still maintain 300 dpi resolution? I thank you in advance for your help.
    iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.5)   iphoto 5.0

    My first thought would be to remove the "Scale all objects ... " vi property.  I have been using LabVIEW for 10+ years, and I always found that function to work very poorly.  I never use it.  At least you could try removing that setting and see if your problem goes away.

  • How to export images with Project Name to be visable by Photo Mechanic.

    Hello all,
    I am trying to create another complete set of my images, that can be edited by outside programs (Photo Mechanic and/or Lightroom). I am doing this by exporting the images out of a managed library. I want the Aperture "*Project name*" and Rating fields to be passed to Photo Mechanic. And then I want PM to be able to do queries on the Metadata fields containing the Aperture Project Name and Rating. My intention is to use Photo Mechanic to rename the images and relocate the images but still keep track of the Rating and Project Name.
    In Aperture, when I add a custom metadata item under IPTC and export the image, that custom metadata item does not show up in PM or Bridge for that matter.
    How can I export images and have the Rating and *Project Name* be exported and visible in PM or LR or Bridge?
    Thanks in advance,
    Dick B.

    There is not an easy way but Ian Wood's tool might help you out.
    Personally I would just use the "subfolder format" drop down options available in all of the export and relocate dialogs to sort them into directories that are based on Aperture project name - easy enough considering those other tools use file system based folders for there organization structure anyway.

  • What resolution are photos optimized for ipod display? (post computer sync)

    From what I've read here, iPod touch forces photos sync'ed from a computer through a optimization step for display on the iPod (and TV). Full-resolution images can only be stored on iPods that have "enable disc use" mode (which iPod touch does not have), and even that mode on older iPods could not be viewed/displayed on the iPod itself.
    Just curious...
    1) what resolution finally ends up on the iPod side (not sure if it is the same as older iPods)
    2) if the zooming feature on the touch goes beyond the optimized photo resolution to the point of interpolation to fill in the blanks
    Thank you ahead of time for your insight.

  • WHAT RESOLUTION TO MAKE LOGOS FOR IMPORTING

    Hi to all!
    I'm not clear on something:
    I have a custom logo made with fonts in CS2. When importing this to FCP 5.0.4, to overlay onto a scene -- do you put the logo with the fonts on a transparent layer, flatten it, and then save at what resolution and file type?
    I take it a TIFF would work or a PNG....but what resolution? And the color space I assume is RGB?
    many thanks!
    -TEXASFLOOD

    Resolution is meaningless in video. You can create your image in any application at any size you want. Just remember your video window is a set number of pixels.
    Flatten your image in PS to a format that includes transparency.
    Know that there are pixel aspect ratio issues. Photoshop creates square pixels, video is rectangular pixels.

  • What resolution should i take for a movie to be played on 70X20 LED display?

    I am working on an animated video that will be played on 70X20 Feet LED display. What resolution should i take?

    size of the screen is 80640 X 23040 (in pixels)
    You are going to need a monster to playback something like that. Are you sure? The max comp size in AE is 30,000 pixels. Your specs claim a requirement for 80,640 which is about 20 4K displays.
    The data rate for a comp that is 42 times wider than HD would be crazy and probably require an array of high end server grade machines and fiber optics to push even 20 fps video through the system.
    As I said before, you MUST contact the manufacturer for their exact media specifications.

  • Quicktime Export settings for projected slide presentation

    Barbara,
    The 640X480 vs 720X480 dilemma is an interesting subject! DV Video and Video DVDs use 720X480 resolution. TVs do not have square pixels, but computer monitors do have square pixels - so some adjustment is needed, and 640X480 is the square pixel down-converted equivalent for computers to the 720X480 in non square pixels used by TVs......make sense?
    iDVD supports high definition video
    Well what this means is iDVD can read HD video files, and convert them to standard definition Video DVDs. It does NOT mean that iDVD can produce HD DVDs. HD DVDs and HD DVD players are not on the market yet.
    Today's Video DVDs are not high resolution, they are 720X480. The only way to get higher resolution is to avoid the Video DVD standard, and just make a data DVD. This will not be playable on commercial DVD players, only on computers with the right software and codecs. If I needed to make professional presentations on large screen high resolution monitors, I would not use Video DVDs. Bring a new powerbook and use H.264
    If you want to go the DVD route anyway, then 720 X 480 is the best you can get. I'd tell FotoMagico to export in HD (720p). This is a bit of overkill, as iDVD will encode at a lower resolution, but I've gotten good results that way.
    You may have to use the anamorphicizer to get iDVD to realize the movie is Widescreen.

  • What is your export process for printing custom-sized books?

    I will be printing my first custom-sized book created in Aperture.
    Anyone have much experience doing this?
    I am assuming that exporting to pdf and then sending that file to print is the process, but I'm wondering if the compression will affect the image quality enough to be concerned for a 9''x9'' book?

    Lots of experience here.
    I outsource albums either as single page or double spread. Unfortunately Aperture only allows single page export, not as a full spread (required by some printers).
    Unfortunately the Export options are a little limited, so read on
    If you click on the Print button for your custom sized book, you'll get a dialog. Choose the PDF button at the bottom and a bunch of options will appear.
    If you just want to export a proof for a client to review, you can select Save PDF to Aperture. The files will import as 200dpi JPEGs / TIFFs depending upon the option you choose. You can then export to a sharing service / web album etc.
    If you want to export at a different dpi then DON'T choose the Save PDF to folder as JPEG option... again you'll get just 200dpi images. So what you can do is choose the Save as PDF option. When you choose that it will export the whole book as single pages in a PDF, with the embedded JPEGs (fully quality jpeg 12) at 350dpi (I know as I've checked this)....
    You can then do 2 things:
    1. For services that require a single pages, run an automator action to run through the PDF and export the images at your desired DPI and change the colour profile (eg sRGB). Your images are then exported to the same folder. Here's the action: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/117989/Save%20PDF%20to%20Folder%20as%20JPEG.zip
    2. For services that require a double page spread instead, run an automator action to run through the PDF, change the colour profile and DPI and then import to Aperture.
    What I do is have an entirely separate project called Album Proofs and import all images into there. When the action runs, it will ask where to put the images - place them in Album Proofs. I then have a custom book size that is twice the width of the album you are creating (e.g. if making a 12x9, the size is 24x9) with no margins or spacing. Then create a template album (you can reuse by right clicking and selecting Duplicate Book) that has two images per page, each image taking up EXACTLY half of the page (again no margins or spacing). I then drag the images I imported into this template, then auto-fill unplaced images. Your images are then layed out as spreads... So now what you do is re-export using the Save as PDF print option. Then run the action described in 1 above.
    Here's the action: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/117989/Save%20PDF%20to%20Aperture%20as%20JPEG.zip . If it doesn't work use the other action above and just import manually.
    Hope this helps

  • Exporting images for print labs - colorsync question

    Hi All,
    This is more a generic question - not pertaining to Aperture specifically, but photo workflow in general.
    When exporting pictures to print at a lab (like Costco, Ritz, Smugmug, etc), what Colorsync profile should be set in the Export Version options? sRGB is the profile Smugmug recommends, but I also have the choice of their specific ICC profiles.
    Also, how does Aperture run on the 20" iMac? I've really never gotten into printing pictures, but now I have two clients that will pay me for taking pictures! They're giving me enough money to purchase my own copy of Aperture, along with an iMac. Not enough for a dual-G5 with monitor, but if it makes a big difference, I'll throw in the extra money myself.
    Thanks,
    Robert

    When exporting pictures to print at a lab (like
    Costco, Ritz, Smugmug, etc), what Colorsync profile
    should be set in the Export Version options? sRGB is
    the profile Smugmug recommends, but I also have the
    choice of their specific ICC profiles.
    IF you have the specific output profile for the device, use that. You’ll have control over the rendering intent (well if you do the conversions in Photoshop, in Aperture, you’re “stuck” with Relative Colorimetric which usually works fine). You can control Black Point Compensation (keep it on) and at least in Adobe products, use the ACE CMM which has proven over the years to be stable and bug free.
    The only output device that can produce sRGB is a CRT display in a specific condition. The output devices above do not produce sRGB but instead assume/expect sRGB so a conversion can take place upon output. That can work but you have no idea of how the image will appear (soft proof), and you have no control over the conversions or post conversion editing. Assuming you have a good output profile for the device, convert using it, then send to the lab. But BE SURE they are ICC aware and are not expecting sRGB. There are some output profiles for such devices floating around the web, but you don’t know that the lab is expecting the file that way. If however, they do provide you an output profile for their device, you can be pretty sure they will know what to do with the files for output to their device.

  • What resolution to scan photos for viewing in Premiere?

    I am currently undertaking a documentary and will be using a lot of still photographs that I want to pan and zoom with.. I am scanning the photos at 400dpi and you can go in quite close in Photoshop with no distortion but in Premiere it has no resolution at all?? When I bump up the dpi to 1200 it says the image is too big to bring into Premiere... So before I go scanning my hundreds of photos I need to sort out this problem..
    Probably something really simple but can anyone help me???

    The max size for Premiere Pro is 4096X4096 if I remember correctly.
    If you want to scan larger than that, you can pick the best part of the image and use Photoshop to scale it down.
    Or, use After Effects to do the zoom in, since AE can handle 30,000X30,000 IIRC.
    You might even find Photoshop Extended's timeline sufficient for zooming (although no "easy ease" is available to my knowledge).

  • What resolution to convert videos for iphone 4?

    I am converting some videos to play on my iPhone 4.  I am using AVS Video converter 7 and so far I am having no problems except 1.  On my first few videos converted and uploaded to my iPhone, the quality and even file size was great, however the resolution (or aspect ratio? I'm no pro when it comes to this) is what I concider extended widescreen.  Meaning that the width fits across the width of my phone just fine, but the height is pretty small, leaving black bars on the top and bottom of the screen, as like with an older square TV viewing a widescreen movie. (and YES I am viewing it in lansdcape orientation) Tapping the zoom/fullscreen button on the screen has no effect also.  The result of this makes the movie kind of difficult to view.  The video converter has iPhone presets which sets the resolution at 640x420.  Is this the correct setting?  If not what is to make the video the full size of my screen without having to zoom or crop anything?

    The specifications for movies are listed on Apple's iPhone website.
