Playout on television or on PC
Hi All!
This makes me go crazy… I’ve made a wedding movie in premiere pro, an HDV project, aspect ratio anamorphic 1.433.
I captured images with my camera, and I didn’t look at the safety zones for television. I just putted the image like seen on my viewing screen of the camera. So perhaps mistake 1.
Then I made the edit on premiere and rendered it with some titles, and it looked fine, it was framed well, so I was happy. So then I wanted to give it to the people I’ve made it for on a DVD. So I burned the DVD.
And then on the television a lot of the image/frame is cut off. Even titles who are inside the safety zone with borders of 20%! So this makes me crazy, because I don’t want to give those people a movie which looks bad framed.
As I admitted, I was wrong starting from filming, as I didn’t know about the safety zones.
So…there’s one big question I have: I want to view the movie on television as I’ve seen it on my computer screen. How do I do it? Resize it in premiere? (i just can’t believe that)
And what if I’m making the movie for television AND for PC. How can I get the frame like I meant? So when I take into count the safety zones for television, on my computer screen, perhaps I’ll see too much then, like a microphone on top of the actors?So this is really the question:
I want to view the movie on television as I’ve meant the “frame”, not too many on pc, not too less on television. How do I do it? (I just can’t believe I have to think of 30% safety zone while filming)Really thank you for your answers already!
Lieven

Premiere Pro CS3 for PC will out put to a NTSC monitor if you opt for GPU Acclerated Effects in the play back settings and your graphics card has dual heads. You have compatible, standard and GPU Accelerated Effects as options to choose from. Standard would also out put to the TV monitor but with little realtime horse power. With PP CS4 on a PC you can chose to use the HDMI/S-Video port of the video card for output device in the play back settings. The CS3 method was a lot better. It gave me much more realtime horse power. Premiere is one of the few programs that can do this. Final Cut Pro can not.

Thanks both of you for your help. Yesterday I discovered perhaps the problem. I’ve made a little test movie, on which I’ve made several colored zones (100%, 90%, 80% and 70%). Then I rendered the 3 movies (I’m in Europe, so we work in the PAL format) in dv pal (1.067) in pal widescreen (16:9 1.422) and in HD anamorphic (1.333).
Looking at the results on the television, I’ve got 10% cut off left and right with dv pal and none on top and botton. I’ve got 10% cut off left, right, bottom and top on HD anamorphic, and I’ve got a very strange result in widescreen: almost 20% left and right, and bottom and top cut off.
So I’ll render it in the SAME settings as the project was: HD anamorphic, and then my safety zone will be ok.
The only problem is that then there will be a difference for renders for PC. I’ll have to resize the render then so that I get the frame as I wanted it to (so that I cut off the unwanted 10% myself).
