the 100 Second Film Festival collaboration
Gathering and Preparing the submissions
As the submissions come in from all over, the goal is to have the entries available through this Spin group by August 15. In order to grease the wheels it works well to have a systematic process to organize the videos and prepare them for this collaboration. We would like many people to use the Spin Xpress 100 second group to publish submissions although we know that a substantial chunk of the entries will come in as a hard copy or a permalink. In order to organize and prepare these files below are a set of encoding guidelines. (Mac only)Transcoding
dvd - rip the files to mpeg4 with handbrakevhs - digitize files into NLE - export reference file - rip to mpeg4 with isquint
mini dv - digtize files into NLE - export (see encoding settings below)
cd - .avi / .mov /.mp4 /- copy off the disc to a local folder
Encoding
For those saavy enough to create their video on the same computer where they will be published below are recommended guidelines for creating files for projections. Strive for the biggest, highest quality file and if you have your own method, share it. If you can afford the sapce full frame is fine..MPEG4 or .MOV (sorenson 3 codec)
720x480 (full frame)
30 frames per second
* include your own credits (which can run up to 20 seconds)
