Hmmm,… thanks for the reply guys…

Well there is an issue,.. the video is exercise information. So there is a visual text reference to the audio (in the form of exercize key points).. that will correspond with the video demo.

I tried exporting it.. then it changed the ratio of the window and the actual model in the video changed shape.. with it. So I researched it and found a web ref to exporting to the ipod which provided ratios. The problem is it was still getting clipped a little.

I had issues either it clipped… or was so little the text was useless. Which is something I may just have to come to terms with. There will be 2 version.. webstream and iPod so if the user was really fussed they could just reference the webstreamed version, though that is useless in the gym, in real time.

Any other good links any one has on keeping original screen ratio when converting HDV to iPod would be helpful?

I will revisit this video again tonight and get back on here (I have been on holidays for a month, so some of the stuff has slipped my mind).

So any more ideas or tips.. I would love them.. thanks again for your time.

Regards,
Nathan

I know I might sound like a dumb ass but.. what does “8 bit or ProRes sequence, you only get one render hit” mean?

Thanks,

This could be perfect, thanks.

Anyone else have any other suggestion for editing for both?

If I run clear gels over the halogens.. how much can I dull the light this way?

Is these anyway I can buy a soft box or make one for these home depot halogens? I know where I can make and fit barndoors.. but softboxes?

Thanks guys.. you have been a great help thus far.

Regards,
Nathan

Hi Guys… me again,.. thanks for all the help.

Renting a flo bank might blow out in cost as I will be shooting over quite a few weekends.

How is this?

Could I get a suitable non-flicker fixture from Home Depot and match the bulbs, and use this for my fill light? Then use a gel corrected (1000 W) Halogen for the key light? What about a hairlight? Could I get a reduced watt halogen work light (maybe 500w) and use a gel and barndoors for the hairlight? And another halogen for the background?

Question – does the background have to be colour corrected to the same as the other lights? or does it not matter?

Thanks again guys,
Nathan
