The use of LT for type should be based on your need for effects. If you don’t need the whoopdeedoo effects, you’re wasting time in LT.

> The final file needs to be encoded in h.264 for the web generally they are 30-45 minutes long< H.264 is just the codec. It's the frame rate and image size that impact your compression the most and you did not post those specs. bogiesan This is my standard sigfile so do not take it personally: “For crying out loud, read the freakin’ manual.”

Wolsky’s FCP3 book had a great tutorial for doing a 3×3 matrix. The problem with 20 is it’s not square which means the wall will not fill the screen completely.

the easiest way to do this effect is in After Effects with distribution/alignment plugins from any of several vendors.

Also try searching the cow’s AE tutorial section.

You might try telling us more about what you mean by “video wall.” Does this include the illusion that the images are playing on video sets with bezels and glare on the screens or are you just looking for a matrix of nested tracks?

> a. Shoot IVs HDV, ingest background footage DV and key and uprez in FCP < YOu will get a far better key in HD than in DV. Encourage the producer to do something interesting and stylisitic to the background video to help hide the fact it is being scaled or processed. > Any of the board care to offer their real world experience of what will produce the best results? I’ve had variable results keying DVCam in FCP using standard tools – is there a better keying plug-in out there?
< Chromakeying depends on the shoot, the video format and the keying software. I have no experience with HD at all but Boris keyers for DV end to be much better than anything else I've seen. bogiesan This is my standard sigfile so do not take it personally: “For crying out loud, read the freakin’ manual.”

> I need to find out the best way to achieve a slow mo look. I’d like to push it to something like 150fps on 35mm played back at 25fps if possible. Has anyone found a good way of getting professional results? I’ve been told twixtor might work but can’t find anyone who has output it for broadcast. < The only way to achieve professional slow motion is to shoot many more frames per second. Everything else is a kluge. Your need for a 6-to-1 speed differential should be shot on film or high speed video. Reduce your expectations or increase your budget. Twixtor is a high end standard tool for creating fields, frames and pixels where none exist. I don't know why you can't find broadcast output testimonials except to say you're looking in the wrong place. bogiesan This is my standard sigfile so do not take it personally: “For crying out loud, read the freakin’ manual.”

We’ve seen this “.” issue before but I cannot recall seeing it since the old 4.0-4.5 days.

Why are you using Media Manager to reconnect?

You also posted the same question on at lest one other FCP forum. Please don’t do that, it’s just not necessary. Since you have already committed the crossposts, please be sure to go back to all of them and close the threads by synopsizing your results and telling us what worked.
