  • FCP OutPut Question for Video Wall Display “Please Read”

    Posted by Tom Amici on January 12, 2009 at 4:44 pm

    Hi All,
    I’ve been given a very odd output request. A client of ours is having a fashion show and is using a video wall for display during the event. 2×2 vertical monitors. I’ve been asked to prepare video @ 43″ W X 72″ H. Rotated 16×9. And I’m laying off to Digi Beta. Is their some kind of convertor that lets you set this up exactly? I know I have to rotate the 4×3 picture CCW. I know I have to blow the picture way up. I know I have to distort the picture so that it looks anamorphic and will stretch out on a 16X9 set up. But this seems like a very random way of doing this and I know the client will kill us if this isn’t done correctly. Any help could save lives.
    Thanks in advance.

    PS. There isn’t anyone to speak with. Their has to be some kind of step by step way of doing this exactly to spec.

    I don’t have AE. I know Big problem. I was hoping for some type of spec guide line or web reference that I could put to use in FCP. I went on to the AE forum on the advice of the folks on the FCP forum.

    as I pointed out in the original thread on FCP, you must find out how the display machine works. That determines everything.
    If you don’t have AE, you can do the gig in FCP but, no, man, there are no recipes. They all depend on you having a known and reliably invariable pathway form FCP to the delivery system. If, as you say, there’s no to talk to, you either go get the delivery system and learn how it works or you deliver a single, full screen video track and make it clear to your clueless client that that’s all they’re paying you for and, since they’re NOT paying you to learn the digital signage business, it’s someone else’s problem to get it up on their screens.
