Hi David

My set-up is a G5 Mac loaded with FCP5 and using CS3 PShop for editing 35mm format digital images.
I shall be using a HD Digital Projector linked to a dvd player so Yes the footage will be coming from a DVD as it is for a art gallery show.I would also like to edit a version suitable for screening on HD Widescreen TV.

What I would like to know is the following.
1. Ideal size of images to load.
2. Format of images jpeg or png.
3. I am cropping the 35 mm format to a 16:9 ratio prior to loading should I apply the Pixal Aspect Ratio 16:9 to images prior to loading to FCP.
4. What Set -up setting should I apply in FCP prior to loading images and what setting should I output through to get the best non distorted image at the end.

thxs in advance for your advise.

Tom

I am using a HD projector for screening and would also like to edit for widescreen HD TV. I am working on a Mac with FCP 5 I will be outputing the images via PShop as jpegs or png.
Q. what setup would you suggest taking into consideration that I want the final presentation to be in the 16:9 format.
Q. Since I am cropping the images to fit this format in respect to prop should I also apply the aspect ratio in Photoshop prior to uploading images to FCP to avoid distortion on playback.
pls let me know if you need any further info this end to answer my requests.
