I'll assume you have some working ...Hi Renate,<br /><br />I'll assume you have some working knowledge of Compressor and DVD Studio Pro, which comes with FCP 5.1.4 / Final Cut Studio 1. Because you will need these software to make your DVD. They're not too difficult to learn - just click on their respective help files for the basics.<br /><br />From FCP, open your sequence > Go to 'File' > 'Export' > 'Quicktime Movie'. Leave the default settings as they are [ie. Setting: Current Settings / Include: Audio and Video]. UNcheck 'Recompress All Frames'. Check 'Make Movie Self-Contained' only if you're not doing the conversion straight away or doing it on the same computer.<br /><br />Save the Quicktime file somewhere accessible [I like putting it on my desktop].<br /><br />Open Compressor. Drag and drop the Quicktime file into Compressor. Under settings, pick 'DVD: Best Quality ' [pick the length and aspect ratio based on your project]. Remember to pick the Dolby 2.0 setting for your audio, too.<br /><br />Once your movie has been compressed to an .m2v and .ac3 file, you can use DVD Studio Pro to create your DVD.<br /><br />You will still end up with an SD DVD, which will be 'expanded' when played on a HD TV/Screen. But if you do the encoding and authoring this way, you'll be able to get the most out of your video quality.<br /><br />Hope this helps.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />KaiKai Cheonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07404927628889783857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6791834971432693023.post-36305103014901252182009-11-04T03:27:29.440+08:002009-11-04T03:27:29.440+08:00Hi Kai

Sometimes, in order to cut costs, some clients would suggest they write the script themselves... after all, aren't we 'just' the 'production company'? We only need to do all that video/jazzy/technical things that they can't do!<br /><br />Usually, we dissuade them... or prepare ourselves to buffer for a script rewrite on our end. But it sometimes does get difficult to convince them otherwise - afterall, anybody can write, right? And they have ALL this corporate-speak they want to squeeze into a 5-min video. Can't we make it... 10mins, instead?Kai Cheonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07404927628889783857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6791834971432693023.post-79985433221195698862009-05-31T11:34:03.470+08:002009-05-31T11:34:03.470+08:00What makes me cringe is the idea that corporate vi...What makes me cringe is the idea that corporate videos need to be "jazzed up" at all. While technique and technology are critical, it's also true that if it's not in the script, it's not on the screen.<br />The most common problem that I see with corporate video is poorly written scripts. Typically, they are written like a brochure. The writer doesn't give a thought to the visual until the voiceover narration is finished, then the visual descriptions become an after thought.<br />And when someone tries the get "creative" with a dramatization, the dialogue is so wooden and on the nose, no amount of talent can breathe energy into it.<br />These are things that can't be "fixed in post." If you don't have an experienced professional writing the script, the resulting show will most likely deserve its "dissin."<br />--<br />John MorleyJohn Morleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15760764827611912147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6791834971432693023.post-48685532069323111982009-02-23T02:53:00.000+08:002009-02-23T02:53:00.000+08:00It's also nice when the client has some understand...It's also nice when the client has some understanding of film vocabulary.. <BR/><BR/>One client called any type of camera move they saw a zoom. confusing when they email notes... and funny when the video was shot with all prime lenses.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
