Hi Pradip,

Thanks for your input. You must have gotten up early. I see it is almost 10:30 AM at Mumbai. It looks like an interesting city. I will hope to make it there some day.

My Mac Pro:

Operating System: OS 10.6.4
Model Name: Mac Pro
Model Identifier: MacPro3,1
Processor Name: Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Processor Speed: 2.8 GHz
Number Of Processors: 2
Total Number Of Cores: 8
L2 Cache (per processor): 12 MB
Memory: 24 GB
Bus Speed: 1.6 GHz
Solid State Boot and Storage Drives

I am planning on exporting images from Lightroom at full resolution. I might change that strategy if I have any problems. I used two cameras so the sizes will be:

Nikon D40X

3871 x 2592 AR = .66942 3872/1920 = 2.02

Nikon D300

4288 x 2848 AR = .66418 4288/1920 = 2.23

Today I have been working in Motion with the 4288 x 2848 frames and haven’t had any problems, I haven’t seen that warning message yet. Motion seems to work with these images quite nicely.

Last week I had Motion crash several times with a very challenging job. I had a PSD image 1600 wide by 1200 high with about 120 layers, each of the layers was moved over 20 frames of time, one layer after another without any rest. I couldn’t get very angry over that. I didn’t get any warning messages. I think it crashed a couple times when I was scrubbing quickly. I was saved by the autosave vault as one or two of the crashes resulted in corruption to the file as I found it would crash instantly when I restarted the program and opened the file. Using an older version of the file from the vault took care of that.

Regards,

Charles

Lately my breakdown is about 70 percent time lapse photography with a still camera, 20 percent still photographs and 10 percent real time video with an inexpensive hd camera.

For this project I would be using still photos to make a “slide show” video. I am confident that the end product will be marketable.

I have already learned the basics of Apple Motion and I think it is a good way to implement the moves and will integrate well with FCP.

I have used Keynote and I don’t think it can be used to make a quality HD movie which I can market. I think for a starter there would be problems incorporating a custom sound track.

I’m not sure what you mean getting advertising out first.

I think we are getting too far away from my first posting in this thread. I was looking for comments on my workflow and areas in FCP I wasn’t sure about. Any comments on that subject would be appreciated.

Gary,

Thanks for your comment.

My knowledge of what I can do with video in Adobe Acrobat is very limited.

In the big picture I want to produce a beautiful video, market it it to obtain income and then make the next one.

I haven’t thought much about file based videos formats like Acrobat. I do have some interest in marketing as “Video on Demand (VOD)” I believe that making the VOD file is relatively easy once you have made a DVD, I understand that Amazon will make it for free. I first thought about a DVD. Then I found that HD is not possible on a DVD. I think that anamorphic SD on DVD makes for a poor quality presentation. I thought about editing in HD and downconverting to make a DVD, partly because I don’t have Blu-Ray authoring software. That idea didn’t sit well for long as I really want to make something that will play well on a large HD television or home projector. Anamorphic SD just doesn’t cut it. I am starting with HD on BluRay. I might then make work on an anomorphic SD on DVD and VOD version.

I would like to learn about possibilities with Acrobat. How can I earn money with it? If there is way to make money with It please send me some additional links which will learn more.

Thanks,
