what is the best way to edit any movie for vertical monitor display?
First off all.. sorry for my weak english.I’ll try to explain as good as I can.
I’ve got a presentation project for local museum. And the client would like to show it in vertical LED screen.
The footages was already shot in vertical(by canon D5).What is the best way to do the editing? Is there any setting that I can use? And what about the present monitor in editing session, how can I set it right? (my lcd display can pivot to vertical orientation).It’s difficult to select takes with all subject lay down like that.I can use both Avid and FCP.Any suggestion for working in this condition? Do I have to provide more details?
Oh… I dont believe the best way is rotate every footages I have.Or rotate everything in my timeline back and fort.(as my friend try to tell me to do)
I’ve got 50 hours of footage or so, some of them are interviewing.
Please… What is the easiest way. Really need help.Last,I have to release it in HD 1080i .mov file.

Honestly, I think your friend’s advice might be the best. But if you created an effect template (resize/3d warp for rotate) you could have that in a bin ready to drag onto future clips, and when you’re done, just select all clips and remove effect. I can’t think of any other way… It’s a little tedious, but once you have the template it shouldn’t be so bad.
I could be wrong, but it might actually be easier in FCP, because you could just go into the motion tab for one clip, and select rotate at 90 degrees and resize so that it all fits the window, and then you can save the motion settings to a “favorite” by hitting control+F and it will automatically assign a shortcut to this favorite which you can see under Effects > Motion Favorites > Name of clip [shortcut]. Then, as you open ever clip, simply hit this shortcut and there you go. When you finish the project, simply remove the motion settings from one clip, copy, and paste the motion attributes to all the other clips in one go.
I can’t think of an easier way in Avid, unfortunately.
