Hi Brent,

Thanks for the tip,..

Well, i know the slowmo effect by filming 50p and then slowing down to 50% and a bit further with twixtor for example… thats fine… i know that…
Unfortunately i can’t afford a high speed cam… 🙂

But actually, i am just looking for advise on the best way to shoot all the footage for all those end products. We will create a DVD PAL, DVD NTSC, BD 720 + want to have the best possible quality for slow motion and stop motion images.

Now as i see it, we have the choice to shoot
1280×720 in 24p, 25p or 30p
all overcranked to 60p

The whole project will be edited in 1280×720.

In any case we need to downscale it to PAL/NTSC DV for the DVD’s.
We will keep it full quality for Blueray.
For online video and mobile devices we can use any framerate 24,25,30, doesn’t matter i would say.

Now… I need to decide the base frame rate – whats the least effort, where do i have least quality loss for all the end products, whats best for an instructional action sports DVD?

thanks!

Hi Frans,

I also had this error-message… i have subtitles in 6 languages,…
We make the subtitles, export them to textfiles and import them later into the final project… working in Encore CS4…
However, I had the same problem and was searching for a solution forever… i found out that this error message appears when a line in the subtitle is too long… i tried to shorten them but was almost impossible to split sentences that much…
So i found out it’s not about the number of characters that causes the problem, but the characters being over a certain point towards the edges of the screen…

Maybe it’s the same in CS2
My workaround:
(I have a PAL widescreen project, 720×576 (16:9).)
When i reimport the subtitle-textfile, it suggests right and left borders which seem to be too wide and cause this error – so i found out that if i set them to 120 left edge and 600 right edge, it works…

Maybe it’s the same error – hope it helps…
All the best
