  still sequence settings

  Posted by Scott Rhea on November 24, 2008 at 4:04 am

  I am building a sequence of still images in final cut pro and wondering what the proper settings are to maintain the best color information and resolution. I am starting with 300dpi rgb images in Photoshop and I have converted them to ntsc and chosen the 10bit yuv setting but not happy with the results. Should I have left the files in thier rgb color space and rendered in rgb? I am using dvd studio pro and compressor.

  Also, I am being told that cbr mode at 8.6 is the best choice for compression settings. I am a still photographer and director and I am attempting to create a dvd with 3 spots and 3 still galleries with 20 images each. Any advice on preserving quality is much appreciated.

  Thanks,

  Scott

  Actually 8.0 is the absolute maximum. 8.6 will cause playback stutters on most DVD players.
