Hi all,

About to render here, why settings should I use to render my project since it will be seen on a huge projector screen at a conference.

Should I keep the res to 720 , how about pixel... make it square or not etc...

Thanks

I assume by the comment “keep the res 720” that this was shot at 720. In that case, taking something shot in NTSC DV at 720x480 and rendering it larger isn’t going to help. Keep the render at the same resolution as the source footage.

What device will be used to play it? A DVD player? A Laptop? This will affect what you should render it as. If a DVD player then just render it as you normally would to a DVD. If you are playing it from a laptop, you want to render it progressive scan so that you don’t have interlacing artifacts which a PC will not compensate for (but the DVD player will)

Damn , I should've thought about that when posting :)

It will be converted in vhs and beta, I'm pretty sure they will project it using the vhs source.

Thanks

Ouch! Why VHS? Do them a favor and pick up a $34 DVD player at Wal*Mart on your way to the convention. Have them play your video from a DVD.

Well too bad for them, I did make a dvd copy but what the heck they want a vhs version and even an old beta version as well. As long as I don't pay for it :)
