still frame DVDPosted by razorbabyy
Our client would like just a still frame of their logo looping on a DVD. No moves or anything. My workflow is this:
Import into FCP, make a 30 min timeline export a quicktime. Drag into compressor, make a mpeg 2 and drag that into DVDSP 4 and burn a looped DVD. The logo looks pretty ratty-not crisp at all. I tried importing hte logo directly into the menu as a background and that looked even worse! Any suggestions as to the best way to do this?
Final Cut only shows you one television field of the two in an exported frame. The two fields in a frame are separated in time and if there was any motion in the scene, it will appear smeared.
You can tell what's going on inside Final Cut buy forcing the Canvas to be 100% with the little tab at the top. Then pull the canvas window bigger and bigger until there is a little gray around the edges of the scene. When you stop the motion of the playhead, the canvas will show you both fields and all the smearing that comes with it. Koz
Why don't you just drop the still image in to DVDSP as the background menu image? If there are no effects on the logo (lens flare, motion, etc.) and it's just sitting there then forget the step of making it a movie file first. Set the menu duration to maximum; I don't think you would even see a glitch at the looping point .
