Project created for exact size of screen going onto
My question is, how do I layout a project to fit exactly inside a certain size screen?
Example: I’m doing a large outdoor event, the screen is 17′ x 22′ (4:3). I have other people supply material asking what size to make the project to fit on the screen. I always go through everything and make sure it fits into the 4:3 frame but if you take the 17′ x 22′ screen and call it inches at 204″ x 264″, if I change the frame size to match that, that’s not right. I can not change pixels into inches so how do I create a file to exactly 17′ x 22′?Does Premiere Pro do video mapping?
Thanks,
Tony

I presume a projector will be used to fill the screen. If this is the case, you could simply do a standard definition 4:3 resolution for your edit.
What is the format/resolution of your footage/media?

Yes, unless this is a video wall or LED solution, you must match the projectors resolution – typically 1024×768 pixels for 4:3

The signal comes from our switch and out to LED Video Walls (jumbotrons) I always create the ads to fit on the screens 4:3 or 16:9 in advance and play them back as needed. The reason I’m asking the questions is I’m wondering why I have editors/ad companies asking me the size and resolution of the screens. I think they think it works like print where you create videos for the exact size of the screen. I know of video mapping where you place the videos to fit areas of opbjects or screens but I wouldn’t guess you would need a video sized for the screen it’s going on. If anything like thiese screens you scale the signal in to fit on your screen. I always tell them if they have it in 4:3 send that as an H264, MOV or AVI and I’ll size it. To me it doesn’t matter what the resolution is on the projector or LED Screen, just send a high quality version of your commercial and it will be fine.

The LED wall has a processor that will map the pixels from your video to the wall. So you need to know what the wall resolution is, and create a playable video file with the content in a 4:3 area, that the processor can scan and map.
For example if the LED wall has 1280×960 LED dots, you can create a 1920×1080 video where the content is present from top left corner and 1280 pixels to the right, and 960 pixels to the bottom of the frame. The rest of the frame can be black.

Yes, that does make sense for the resolution since the LED screens go by mm and that is how you determine how many pixels are in each panel. So then that also makes since to take the resolution of the screen and create your project to that… Thanks Morten!
