hmm.. but can’t I set the loop to a specific time??? Is there anyway to do this?

and would I still get the freeze by doing that??

I used the override button.. and the loop works now… but on the project preview the video seems to pause a little before looping.

The video that I’ve made starts and ends the same way… I did that so when it loops the transition would be smooth. So my video ends and starts with a logo in a red background, when I preview it on Adobe encore, the video plays fine then there’s a brief period where the screen goes black and then it loops… I want the video to loop very smoothly without the black screen interruption, is there anyway to fix that???

All my the elements in my compo had the opacity set to 100%.

The thing is I made small compositions, and then gathered them all into one big one. So it’s a nested composition.

Whenever I render the nested composition, the overlaps become a little transparent and the color doesn’t seem as vivid as before.

what pixel ration does the bluray disc take?

I just want to make sure the clients will be able to watch a non pixelated movie..

OK so from what I’ve been reading the best way is to set my animation in a 720 x 480 ratio (as NTSC) with a pixel ration of ???? (D1/DV NTSC (0.91) or 1.21????

frame rate of 29.97 frame per second??

Then when I render the output should be set in as a H.264 Blu ray or MPEG DVD??

Should the compression still be animation?

Sorry to be asking so many questions, but I really never went deeper into rendering…

I see… so data….

I don;t have to import images at 300dpi right???? all my images are 72 dpi RGB (they are 72 dpi but large)

Thanks for the posts!! I have one last question… so if the video is played from a laptop that is hooked up to the HD tv screen… will the composition size matter???

because today I was making a composition that is 720 by 480 and I rendered as a quick time movie, when I played it (full screen) on my computer monitor (27 inches) the video looked really pixelated…is there anyway to fix this??

[Kate Koyama]

Say what would be the output for:

– playing the video from a laptop that is hooked to the tv screen

– playing the video from a burned DVD

– other options???

Hmm… I’m guessing they’ll want a DVD, and also they’ll want to be able to hoop up their laptop to the screen.

What would be the difference for those 3 devices??
