  • Cinema4d resolution for hd 16:9 tv

    Hi, thanks in advance for any advice.

    Basically I am producing an animation in C4D11.5 for widescreen pal DVD display at an expose on big lcd TVs.

    For past jobs I have outputed animations as 1024×576 image sequences as requested by the film editor.

    This project however I am doing solo and had planned to output as usual 1024×576 image sequence, adding audio and titles in After Effects, then burning DVDs with Encore (the movie needs to loop).

    I’ve found that Encores biggest screen setting is 720×576. Is this correct? if so then is there any point in me rendering animations out at 1024×576? My current 2 minute animation has a render time of approx 24 hours. The quality needs to be as sharp as possible. I have also read that I need to change from 1024×576 to 1050×576 to avoid black strips either side.

    Does anyone know of a simple step by step process for outputing from C4D > AE > ENCORE > DVD > 16:9 TV

    So basically…
    I save from C4D as image sequence at 1024×576 or 1050×576 or 720×576?
    Save from AE as ???
    Do I need to use Adobe Media Encoder?
    What are the correct settings in Encore for a DVD on UK widescreen tv ?

    Any help much appreciated 🙂

    Encore can do HD, but you need to burn to Blu-Ray. DVD is a standard def format.
