    project wrap up workflow the basics

    Posted by Videovideo on September 10, 2007 at 5:12 pm

    Greetings,

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Creating work for client– 2 camera 30 min dance project shot in 30fps– it is in a basic dv ntsc sequence– (read great thread about video shot in 30fps being easily worked with in 29.97 sequence here on cow).

    Just wondering what the best wrap-up workflow is– they want me to make a dvd for them. What is the standard procedure? I’m asking on FCP basics because I am worried this is a really elementary question. My plan is to:

    Lay off a final edit just on mini dv master tape in standard dv ntsc format, provide idvd or dvd studio pro mpegs, provide self contained quicktime on disk, and one dvd? I am on the latest mbp.

    1. if they have an older version of imovie or dvd studio pro will they be able to use the mpegs I created in dvd studio pro 4 to burn additional dvds?

    2. if they burn straight from the dvd itself in a duplicator– how much quality loss will they experience?

    3. what is the highest resolution self contained quicktime I can provide to them if I do not have blackmagic? and is this standard when a project is finished to give them a qt?

    thanks for any help.

    3. what is the best final form

    Yes, mpeg can be read by any version of DVDSP, but I don’t think the early versions of iDVD worked with mpeg.

    Duplicator???-not sure what you’re asking? To duplicate any DVD, it would need to read from an authored DVD

    [videovideo] “3. what is the highest resolution self contained quicktime I can provide to them if I do not have blackmagic? and is this standard when a project is finished to give them a qt?

    DV NTSC preset is going to be the best-since that’s what original.
