Our new teaser with workflow - props to Graeme and G Film Converter

Hey Gang,
Didn't know where to put this post because it covers a few areas...anyway we just released the new teaser for our upcoming British motorcycling film Brittown. We used the Nattress G Film Converter quite extensively to convert 640 x 480 helmetcam footage (60i) to 24p and mixed it with our 24p (2:3:3:2) XL2 footage on a 24p timeline. Output to h.264 Quicktime (853 x 480) and converted to Flash 8 using Adobe Flash. Hope this helps anyone interested! Thanks again Graeme.

That belongs HERE...in the SHOW and Tell section. BUT, there is a bit of residualness of this in the Cafe...if only to point people to come here.

pretty good i loved the T&A section. incredible in quality of encode. i wonder what you used to create the flv file or swf.

at 2 points the motor cycles are a bit loud and accompanied with the music sounds like a lot of noise. so for a few seconds the music and cycle sounds are indistinguishable.

otherwise that teaser would get me interested in the project. love the ending.

Hey J,
Thanks for the comments. I used Flash 8 to do the encode. Imported my uncompressed Quicktime file in Flash, added the Steel Skin and exported as Flash 8. The key for us was using the 853x480 dimensions when we exported out of FCP, this creates a beautiful widescreen QT file. Used Swf-Object to embed it into the page.
