Hey,

I do 3-4 of these a week for high school banquets 🙂

These are my rules (assuming that you’re assembling these in another program like Premiere or After Effects):

1. Scan your pics at 300 dpi. As your dvd output is fixed at 72 dpi, it gives you room to pan/zoom your pics around.
2. Scan them at 720×540. Your editing program will output 720×480 when you render out your .mp2 files.

As for lumens, I really don’t know (although I should). The best thing would be to actually go there with the projector and see if it is bright enough, and if it isn’t find out where the light switch it. A lot of places will allow you to dim the lights so that if they’re not allowed to be completely off, they can be at least not as bright. My experience is that the people putting together and running the show care WAY more about quality and brightness than the audience does, so try not to be too hard on yourself 🙂

Take care,

Nick

Hey,

My favorite is when they try to tell you that Apples were built from the ground up to do audio and video, and it is near impossible to do anything other than calculate a spreadsheet and check email with a PC.

Hey,

You still can do this using the slider controls mentioned before. You can keyframe either the amplitude or frequency controls to start or end wherever you want them to in the timeline, which would then control the amplitude and frequency of the wiggler…so simple, and it WORKS!

Hey,

How are you trying to render it? Are you adding your comp to the Render Queue? What codec are you trying to render it with?

Hey,

Michael, thank you for your response. I’m familiar with Main Concept as they provide some encoding power to Premiere. I downloaded the demo and tried it…very nice to see that I can bring in .m2v or .mpg files and play them back in real-time and edit them. However, when I brought in some .m2v files to export as a single .m2v, it still takes time (40 minutes for a 30 minute timeline, PIV 2.5ghz) to export. While I understand that this is pretty amazing, the program previosly mentioned managed to join the files in a matter of minutes. Granted, it didn’t work in Encore, but I can’t help but wonder if there is a faster way to join .m2v files from Premier (or another app) and have them work in Encore.

Take care,

Hey,

Thanks for the info, it puts my mind at ease knowing it’s a limitation rather than a user error! Upon closer reading of the help file, it does say “Transitions and titles included in your Adobe Premiere project appear in the After Effects composition as solid layers, maintaining their original location and duration.”

Take care,

Nick
