Thanks for the tip Blaise! I tried this, and it definitely makes the transition between echoes MUCH smoother.

I’m still having a little trouble understanding the best way to go from this motion blurred step to creating the full ring of the light trail, as it would still require an Echo Effect with about 1000 echoes. Any advice?

Thanks Jono. I did try zipping, but it only reduced the file size by a few hundred MB, which wasn’t enough for my needs.

Unfortunately I don’t have a blu-ray burner, but I think you’re probably right about the easiest solution being to deliver on a thumb drive.

That said, do you have any ideas on what a minimum acceptable bitrate for HD video might be, should something like this arise in the future? Or does it just depend on the video?

Thanks for the advice. I’m still learning a lot of this stuff, so it’s nice to have more experienced people to help out.

So after editing my film in premiere, should I export it to a particular file format, and then use that file in Media Encoder? If so, what file type should I export as? Can I not somehow export it to an m2v video with AC-3 audio directly from Premiere and skip the media encode step?

Please explain.

Thanks,
