SETTINGS

We have some huge changes for our film that will definitely affect our production plan.
Philip and I used two days to focus on getting settings ready for both rendering and editing.

We will be usingV-ray, and render in TARGA images and then use Video Post in Max to put these pictures together. This way is very safe in case our render would fail. Then we would still have the images we already rendered!

We will also be using Video Vegas 8.Pro for editing because Philip and me know this program very well.

These are the MAX settings we will be using:

Output Size: 35mm 1.85:1 (cine)
With: 1024
Height: 554

Mov Output file:
DV - PAL
25 FPS.
16:9 (Size difference)

As you see we use PAL to make sure the film don't get as big as 10 GB or something like that. Also gonna use PAL in Video Vegas 8.0 Pro, and we will still get pretty good quality.

Video Vegas settings:

Mode: Bit Rate VBR

Format: Windows Media Video 9

With: 1024 Height: 556

Pixel Ratio: 1,333 (HD 1080)

25 PAL FPS

Average Bit Rate: 2 M

With these settings we will get a cool HD Widescreen look, with the familiar black, thick lines at the top andbottom as illustrated in the image below.



I want to finish this Blog post with a test render of both the cars at the "starting line" to get you exited;P
