I found info about my codec, it says "Cinepak codec by radius" there are 7 other options where I found this. Is this the right setting?

I know nothing about the dvd authoring software. I'm going through making a dvd for the first time. I knew that Encore has an encoder but I can't use that. Does Architect have one too? If I import the avi into Architect can I change it to mpeg straight from there?

I don't think I have ever done a firmware update, at least not to my knowledge. I have two dvd authoring programs, Encore 1.5 and DVD Architect, I'm just using Cucusoft for the avi to mpeg encoding. Is that still bad? I'm not sure what codec I'm using, what will I have to do to find that out? My...

Well I've imported my footage, edited it in my Premiere Pro, and now I'm trying to send it out to the person who will make the score for it. The problem is everytime I burn it, it will not play on dvd players and it skips alot when played on any media player on a computer. I've tried playing it...

Would the 2nd editon be good also or is it outdated now?

I will look into that book, thanks.

I am looking for festivals to enter my short into also, I'm looking for advise from some more experienced people on the subject. First of all, about my film. It is just over 8 minutes long, it's about a cocky college kid who believes a girl he met online is out to get him. He rejects her...

That's what I needed. Thanks alot for the help, I'm still learning AE and get stuck alot.

I am trying to make an opening sequence to my film in AE, nothing too fancy just some animated text. My problem is when I import it into PP the back color layer from AE is still there and it blocks out the footage I'm trying to lay the text over. I've tried a few different things and nothing has...

Buy an new pair of headphones or buy a new camera.

I think it's good for everything to have a little humor to it. Nothing to be upset about.

Wow, after a long day of editing it turns out my 5 min movie might quickly become a 10-12 min movie. I was always under the impression that a page of screenplay = a minute of movie. Is this not the case most of the time?

I just finished shooting my first short film today. Now the editing, but I'm sure that's going to be my favorite part. This was only a five or six minute short but I learned alot from doing this. I learned that a two man crew (not to be confused with two LIVE crew) is NOT enough. I had actors...

Remember that if you have a good story with good editing, people won't notice that it was shot on a cheaper camera. I understand what your trying to do but your talent is the most important thing here, not how much you can spend on a camera. Look on Ebay and you can get one of Panasonics lesser...

Thanks for both of your opinions, it sounds like I'll have to just try everything out and learn what works the best for me.

I'm shooting my first short on Saturday and a few people have asked if I needed any help with the crew. About how many people are usually needed on a small production like this one? (the movie will be about 5min long) I have myself as the director, the co-writer of the script is the d.o.p. and...

Why not make it a bright sunny day?

Why do you have to convert mp3s? I use Premiere Pro and never had to convert anything when putting in some music.

I'm fairly new to this whole thing too but I think I can help a little. You may not get a "job" right away if you mean being paid for your services. Your best bet is to probably work for free on some indie films and build up your resume. Search around for local filmmakers, call or email them and...

I just read alot of negetive things about gl1s and PP. I personally think they are both great.
