  TV friendly or Internet friendly timeline

  Posted by Kevin Ryan on October 14, 2008 at 6:25 pm

  Comrades,
  I work for a local government media department. The PSA’s and promos
  I create are intended both for our cable tv channel and our web site. My question is; should I create and edit my project with settings that favor video then convert finished product to work on web, or visa versa. Does my source material determine either a video or internet friendly timeline? Most of the material for my next psa will be
  still images from photoshop, and jumpbacks, with some video.
  Thanks

  I would work for video first… Meaning, create the best resolution render for your TV specs (SD or HD and interlaced)….I would then take that render into a 3rd party compression program and render out progressive for the web. If you do not have a 3rd party compression program, you can bring the render back into AE, interpret the fields, then render out a compressed progressive version for the web using the Adobe Encoder.

  Hope this helps,

  Mark
