I deliver it so people can view it on their computers monitors. Now we are going to experiment with Go To Training (which is like Go To Meeting).

Yeah, I was messing around with it, and that is when it happens. With ProType, can you move the text around in 3D?

If you set the preview to Preview Auto, it will take a snapshot at level of clarity?

I do have DVD Architect, but I didn’t do Fill to Disk. It came out pretty good. A tad squashed top and bottom, but you can’t tell too much. My client created a .mov file using KeyNote (the Microsoft version of PowerPoint). So I don’t think he set it to the right aspect ratio. His images come out letterboxed on the sides. I put in a Flash file and it is letterboxed on the top and bottom. I set everything to DV NTSC Widescreen with the 1.21 pixel ratio.

Maybe I did something wrong. What can I say. I’m new.

Correct. I rendered using the DVC-PRO codec because the H.264 didn’t work. Now I know why! Of course, I’m still using Vegas 5. Trying to get me company to justify upgrading to Pro 9.

I was confused about DVC-PRO and h.264 as well since they both pop up in the list. I’m thinking they wanted to say MPEG4 instead of h.264?

I’m going to check with the magazine.

Hi Mike!

Just got word that everything turned out ok at the trade show.

Thanks again for your help!

It looks like we have to go the .wmv route. They are running the file from the hard drive and not the DVD. I noticed that .avi files from the hard drive come out choppy.

So since it is a 52″tv, under “Image Size” when I render, do I select High Definition (1280×720).

Basically I want my video to fill up as much of the TV screen as possible. Don’t want a tiny little square in center of a large TV.

Sorry for all the questions!

Thanks Mike!

If I make a DV-AVI can I just select the NTSC DV when I render? Usually I make stuff for our website and use wmv files. Rendering to AVI is new territory for me.

Thanks again!

Thank you! It appears I didn’t have the keyframes in the exact spots, which is why there was some minor bumping.

I did the smoothness thing, but there is still some drifting and or moving faster/slower than the video part. Maybe I should upgrade to 8?
