Two questions (about Total Training and Comp resolution for cable TV network)
Dear friends
Question 1
I guess it was Mike who mentioned this product review for Total Training for After Effects (Standard Version), that anyone interested could even buy any of the segments from this 12 DVS course, that he broke into 4-5 sections if I am not mistaken. However, as soon as you get to their web page for this product, there seems to be no such options and it looks as if one should buy whole set of 12 DVDs.Anyone, could help me on this.
Question 2
An advertisment (maximum 1 minute) about IT courses needs to be broadcast on our local cable network. What I have to do it to give my final video to the cable operator (copied on a CD) and he will play that movie at agreed intervals.My question here is regarding the appropriate comp resolution that I should go for, from the very begining. As I am not much conversed with PAL-SECAM-NTSC terms, a little help from you folks will be very valuable.

1: No idea – but anything form Total Training. As I’ve said before, and will, no doubt, say again and again, Total Training is the s**t. I spend 700 on their professional course and it’s paid for itself.
2. NTSC is 720 x 480. Square pixels. 72 dpi. Unless you’re working in parts of Asia or Europe – don’t worry about Seacam or PAL.

[Joshua Ferg] “NTSC is 720 x 480. Square pixels. 72 dpi”
No. It’s non-square pixels when 720×480 or 720×486. DPI is irrelevant unless scanning stills or printing to hard copy. And it’s always 29.97 fps here in North America.
And it’s “SECAM”.And as Dave wrote, it also comes in other flavors. Ask the Cable tech person what he/she needs:
– frame size
– codec
– delivery medium (tape? CD?)
– countdown (or not)
– color bars and audio tone (or not)Always ask the techie who will be receiving your material.
