Hi Katie

Im running both Final Cut Pro & Pro X on Lion and have found them good for different things.

I still prefer Pro for the editing process and detail between frames, control of media storage etc but I prefer Pro X for the ease of using titles and sharing to Vimeo etc

I probably need more time on Pro X. It is very different a bit like iMovie on steroids.

I tend to now cut in Pro and gloss the sequence up and export in Pro X

Hope that helps

Ta

Hi everyone

I am teaching 3/4 VET IDM for the first time. I am using the Pixel Ed
resource and was wondering what program you use to create a DVD Menu. The
video can be done in Premiere but can you create the menu using Flash or do
you need Encore?

If you're using a Mac iDVD can be used, which is free.  Encore is what you need in the adobe suite -  if you don't have it, I'd download the 30 day free trial on one or two computers and let the kids rotate.

Windows 7 has a built-in DVD menu creator, although like many of it's kind, it is template driven and doesn't give you complete control.

Flash is not an appropriate tool for DVD menu creation. DVD players do not understand flash, and I have yet to see a good tool for converting flash to DVD menus.

Encore is one option, however it is not a beginners tool. It does have the advantage of tight integration with Premiere and Photoshop, so if you are invested in Adobe products, it is probably the best option for you. It can also do higher end features like playlists, which most of the lower cost or free options cannot do. It does have some limitations, and used to have a nasty habit of not covering all the allowable resolutions and often re-encoding footage needlessly, but these problems may have been ironed out by now.

There are some freeware options, including DVD Styler and DVDAuthorGUI, which front-end other tools. They rely on you having your assets already created - videos, stills, motion backgrounds, buttons etc, but they can produce decent quality output.

Authoring comes in basically two forms -
 
easy :- all templates and few options for real customisation - Nero/Roxio/iDVD

and

complex :- create all your own assets, do all your own authoring, total freedom - Encore/DVD Architect/DVD Studio/DVD Lab Pro

Some of the template driven authoring tools produce slick looking end product - iDVD, for example - but you can pick it a mile away as they all start to look the same. The complex authoring takes time and planning, but you can create whatever you want.

In your case I would recommend Premiere, Photoshop and Encore.

Cheers,

Greg

Hi Ana,
Attached is a presentation / handout I have used with students. Last year I asked the students to prepare a short video to include on their website and a copy of same submitted on DVD.  Some guiding questions relating to different codecs were given with SAC too. Good luck for 2012.

Hi Guys,

After being on maternity leave for two year, I am back teaching. So I have never had to teach Prepare video assets.
I have some Ideas for tasks, but am interested in how people are teaching the examinable guts of the unit.
So does anyone have ideas of lessons that cover bitrate and encoding and all the techie crap?
Any good resources?
I have this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_nPsBwMivCk but would love to hear what others are doing.

Hi Greg,

 This is a fabulous summary you have kindly put together.
I also found the videohelp.com site a good reference point.
I moved to a dual platform (Mac/Win) school 12 months ago after a lifetime
in a Win school and it has given me a few new insights.
I tried to move away from Nero and have recently been using ImgBurn (free)
on Win, but haven't settled for a menu creation utility yet. I just got a
hold of Windows 7 DVD maker and will see if that is a good option. 

Any suggestions welcome.


Kind Regards

I've stumbled onto a great resource - http://method.ac/ - which is aimed at teaching the skill of Design to Programmers.  (You can read their reasoning here: http://method.ac/blog/design/programmers-designers.html)

The three 'games' they have released so far are:
Kern Me (teaching about text kerning.) - http://type.method.ac/ 
Shape (which both teaches about b?zier curves and some typography): http://shape.method.ac/
Colour (which, obviously, covers colour theory): http://color.method.ac/

Later, they will be launching an online design course which should be worth keeping an eye on.

Incidentally, the same designer/programmer has created this interactive tool to explore easing: http://cssglue.com/cubic

I hope you enjoy this site as much as I did.

No you cannot do 3 projects. You can double up on 1 task type so as you say 2 projects and 1 portfolio would be fine

Hi,

I have been working with students on the unit of competence CUFDIG301A - Prepare Video Assets. We are using Adobe Premiere as I understand it to be an industry standard software product. We have been encountering numerous problems with the import files using Macs. Even  though the files are .avi, they don't playback in Premiere on the MAC (of course they work perfectly fine on my Windows PC). Anyway, upon further reading of the official UoC it mentions in the range statement that MovieMaker may be used.

Can anyone advise me whether I can switch to Windows Live MovieMaker if students continue to have problems? I suppose it will limit what we can do w.r.t. green screen but at least it will work.

Thanks

Have a look at Perian, a codec pack for Macs, that might overcome your
playback issues. It is also best to stick with standard formats such as
DV AVI or H264 AVC. Macs really only work smoothly with material in the
MOV container ins a small number of formats, but Perian can probably
help you stretch this a bit further. You could also look at
MPEGstreamclip for converting your videos to easier to work with
formats.

There's also Handbrake for Mac (Free & Open Source) that handles a number of file conversions.

Hi Kate

I also always install Flip for Mac (free version) so I can play back .wmv on my macs (as well as Perian - mentioned in another post)

I have been experimenting with  "Any Video Converter"  free in app store - as I have been frustrated in the past when i have had students film on their mobile phones and the files come in to the machine in formats that I cannot use

At Home I use Handbrake to convert .avi ,  .mkv files to .mp4 for playback on appletv through iTunes

VLC player is also a great open source player which often does a better job than quick time at handling other codecs.

Hello All,

 

I was wondering if anyone had some student work samples they could share
with me for assessment tasks for Units 3 & 4. This is my first year
teaching the Unit 3 & 4 and also the first year it has been offered at
the school so I would very much appreciate any assistance anyone can
offer me. I would like to show my students and see myself what they
should be aiming for. The pairings I am using are:

 

1.       CUFDIG304A Create visual design components/BSBDES302A Explore
and apply the creative design process to 2D forms (Using task similar to
Pixel Ed "Life" Book Cover Portfolio task for this)

2.       CUFANM301A Create 2D digital animations/CUFDIG301A Prepare
video assets (Using task similar to Pixel Ed "Aquarium in action"
product task for this)

3.       CUFWRT301A Write content for a range of media/CUFDIG302A Author
interactive sequences (Using task similar to Pixel Ed "Restaurant
Website" product task for this)

 

Appreciate anything anyone can send me though.

 

Kind regards,

 

Rob Mercer

Salesian College Chadstone
