grabs from lighting test

[pfista]

Personally for me these aren't too shabby (compared to my past stuff). So I know that I'm making progress. I wish the second grab was framed a little better also...

What do you think?

I also have a question about the whole 2.35:1 cropping. In vegas, if I set my aspect to .9091 under project properties, and then render with .9091 in a 720x306 it doesn't render like how it looks when i have "simulate device aspect ratio" checked on the video preview. It seems horizontally streched. I have maintain aspect ratio selected for the clips, so does anyone know why it does this? The pictures are actually at 655x306, which are saved straight out of vegas, and those look normal.

Basically, in the video preview when I have "simulate device aspect ratio" it looks normal, but when it renders it streches it horizontally. This is when I have project aspect and render aspect both at .9091, project size at 720x306 and maintain aspect ratio checked on the clips inside the .veg.

Thanks!

How can you get that ratio in Final Cut?

The first grab is real nice! Looks very film.

Wonderful job pfista !

I'd like too see more; especially with a moving image ?

Como

That ratio is 2.14:1

720 / 336 =

Thank you!

Yeah as of right now I haven't compressed for my website... but they are on youtube so you can watch them there. Once I get them up on my website I'll post those links as well.

Do you notice how the video seems stretched horizontally? Or is it just me and the pictures are actually compressed?

Those looked really good! Although, in the second video, I can't for the life of me figure out what the guy says in the second half of the video. I know he starts out by saying "In a past life..." but when it gets to "I was.. ________?" I can't quite figure it out. Haha, I played it several times and what I keep hearing is "I was bob cat"?

 

[pfista]

Haha yeah you're right, he said "I was a bobcat."

what are your youtube compression settings? They look great on there, at least better than average.

Yeah, I was actually suprised myself how good it turned out on the tube. But from vegas I rendered out a sorenson 3 uncompressed, and since the files were so short they were only like 10 - 20 megs.
