Choosing right presets for TV
Hi. Im´s stuck with the following:
– I´ve got a movie trailer, that I need to play on a 42″ LCD TV that has a 1366 x 768 px resolution. Don´t know much about presets and resolution in video so please bare with me.
So far, I´ve gotten a cropped image. Quality looks fine. It´s just that cropping that is bothering me.Aspect ratio is fine too. Just that the image is bigger than the screen, hence the cropping.
Steps: I edited it in Premiere, and sent it to Encore for authoring the dvd through the dynamic link (or something like it).The trailer goes in a small window. The rest of the screen has some info and a wallpaper as background, so the whole space is used.
-I designed the wallpaper in Photohop in the same resolution (1366 x 768px) imported to a Premiere sequence and sent to Encore. Aspect ratio is set to square pixels.
I believe the problem is on the sequence settings. I tried using the widescreen presets, and the desktop mode to set the resolution exactly to 1366 x 768. However when sending to encore it won´t keep the same size. I have to choose between NTSC or PAL and I get the black bars on the preview.
Another approach was in Premiere, taking the sequence and inserting it in a another one (using a 720 x 480 widescreen preset) and then sending it to Encore. This time I got rid of the bars but I get this cropping
I can´t seem to find the correct way/ preset for displaying it properly on the TV.
Any enlightenment on this would be really appreciated. Thanks

What is the resolution of the movie trailer and what is the framerate?
Are you in Pal land or Ntsc land?
Is the movie trailer going to be play from a dvd or a BlyRay or … -
Ann has pointed the right direction:
It does not matter what the monitor resolution is. What is the PLAYBACK DEVICE? That is what determines mastering resolution.-Jeff

Hi Ann. Thanks for answering. My account took a long time to get activated and I couldn´t use it until now.
-The trailer is played in a 42″ LCD TV that has a 1366 x 768 px resolution, from a DVD player.
-I get a trailer on a DVD (vob). From then I go into Premiere import as an asset, and put inside a new sequence, let´s say sequence 1.
Then create another sequence (2) that has an original background design (psd file) and put sequence 1 in it´s timeline, since I need the trailer to be displayed in a smaller part of the screen while still showing the psd behind it.Sequence 2 had the same resolution than the TV (1366 x 768) but then created one last sequence (DVPAL widescreen preset) and scaled down the previous one (2).
That seems to have worked at least for fitting in the screen though I´m not sure about the quality. I have only seen it in my computer and the quality is not as good as I would like it to be.
I´m in PAL land.
Thanks
