Congratts everyone who has finished or is very close to finishing.

Today is the official Deadline, but your gonna have till Saturday morning to upload.

Submission Formats:

I need 2 versions of your film, one as a MPEG 2 file, either grouped or demuxed ( 1 file with a .mpg extension, or a seperated file with m2v and ac3 etc.)

and a H.264 QUICKTIME version that will be used for voting. H.264 version should be around 480 lines scaled, and be under 40mb. If you shot in HD with the HVX, you can submit a full 720 24p sized file for viewing, try and keep the size under 150mb.

READY?

If your using Vegas, you need quicktime 7 installed. When you goto export, you should see MainConcept AVC codec in the options, that the H264 codec, export with that, it will give you a mp4 extension, which is fine.
 
Hey Jarred, is that true for Vegas 5 as well? Or just Vegas 6? If it doesn't work like that for Vegas 5, can I render to something else and then use the Quicktime 7 directly to make the H264 thingy-ma-bob (like my technical terms)?
 
im using premiere but have the new main concept codecs and will try that.

PS. if you grab the right pixel in the banner it will peel off the cover.

Jarred, SMOKIN' tip, thanks! I'll test that out right away. I've always had to export an uncompressed AVI, then bring that into QT7 Pro to export out ... what a pain, not to mention trial & error process.
 
Wow ..Thankfully i now have Vegas ..never had to make a Q time file .
we are sooo close to finishing . hopefully tonight will be the last .

2 questions,

Are there behind the scenes extras being submitted for this contest and if so are there any guidelines for them?

Is it correct that we should not add any pull-up in the export process?

Thanks guys. I'm really exited to be a part of this.

BTS yes, but not for the contest but for the DVD

No guidlines but probaby a half hour is too long :grin:

so you have some time to get those together (like a month) as most people are just finishing the short itself right now

I think you can go ahead and submit them now if you got em though.

output a true 24 fps file

this (as always) is sexiest for web and DVD (smaller file and just like film) and sexiest for your guerilla, indie, DV bohiney! GRRRRR ! :costumed-smiley-047 :cheesy:

What does half size scaled mean? I can get a Quicktime compressed file to 720x480 and have it look really good, and be under 40mb. Do I have to cut the size? I am confused. Anyone know?
