  • Displaying Motion Graphics on TV Monitors?

    Posted by Jacob Resendez on November 10, 2008 at 9:18 pm

    hello all,
    im not sure where to turn for such a question, but hopefully someone can point me in the right direction. i have recently created some looping videos in AE for a client of mine and wanted to display these on the LCD monitor inside their shop. the loops are basically spinning logos with basic background effects that spice up the place when the tv monitor is idle. i then came across something like this at a local bar, https://www.barflynetworks.com/demo.html, and thought that this would be cool too. without having to purchase service from anybody, is there any kind of software to be purchased that can have similar results? i dont need any fancy trivia or advertisements run, just something to split the monitor and display two feeds. any suggestions/ideas? sorry if this is not the right forum for this, but i have nowhere else to look anymore. thanks in advance!

    Dunno for sure but I refer most folks to google for a long afternoon spent cruising the DIGITAL SIGNAGE world. Good luck. Hope you get better advice.

    This is my standard sigfile so do not take it personally: “For crying out loud, read the freakin’ manual.”

    i couldn’t open the link so i’m not sure quite what you mean, but i create looping dvds for some of our customers….its really simple.

    Using DVDStudio Pro import your video, drag it to the icons window (i can’t remember the correct names for the various screens) right click on it then select First Play – a little play icon will appear on the button. Then in the Inspector just below the video title bar is a drop down which lets you select the action when the video finishes playing, simply set this to pick the video again. burn the dvd and you have created a feedback loop and your dvd will play forever.

    (i simplified the process assuming you have a basic knowledge of DVDSP and making a disc – if not, sorry!)
