  • Video loop for Plasma Screen

    What’s the best way to create a DVD video loop (with no audio) of a number of stills?
    My issue is that my client needs this to play on one of these Plasma Screens:
    1. an NEC 42″ plasma monitor whose spec’s include: resolution:1024 x 768 aspect ratio: 16:9
    2. a Panasonic 42″ plasma monitor whose spec’s include resolution: 852 x 480 aspect ratio: 16:9
    I was thinking I would build and move each still in After Effects export a Quicktime movie to then cut the loop in Final Cut Pro

    Depending on the DVD player you’ll need to set up for either HD or SD.

    I’ve done several loops like these for trade shows using DVD SP set to widescreen (16:9) and 480p.

    They look fine, perhaps not as crisp as true HD but my clients are using SD DVD players anyway.

    If there’s no HD or BluRay at the other end SD works well.

    My comps in After Effects are st to HD settings but my Compressor setting are for SD.
