  • Best Way to Put Animated Film on Blu-ray?

    Posted by Stewart Goldstein on August 16, 2011 at 8:58 pm

    I have a Quicktime file of a 13 minute animated film, 1080p, size 125 GB, rendered with the Animation codec.

    (Yeah, it’s a big’un.)

    I want to put the sucker on a Blu-ray and preserve as much of the quality as I can.

    Am I better off making the Blu-ray directly from FCP, or should I do it from Encore? If I use Encore, do I need to start from Premiere?

    Again, I want to preserve as much of the detail in the animation as I can, and I haven’t made a Blu-ray before.

    Either way is fine.
    You can use Encore w/o Premiere.

    Do you have Adobe Media Encoder? Use that.

    Yes, I have Adobe Media Encoder. Is that better than Encore or Final Cut Pro?

    Well, Better is subjective.
    Encore – builds DVD’s but does encode as well.
    FCP edits video – but will encode on export as well.

    AME – encodes.

    Try em out and see what works best for you.
