Project and Output Resolution (NewBie)

[toby]

Hey People,

since one week I am the proud owner of Resolume 4 Avenue. It takes days and nights and a lot of nerves to get it run. But at least with a graphic-driver downgrade to Catalyst 12.9 it works well.

I'm sorry if I bother you with my greenness but I really red the manual (I also red it again as recommended) and I was searching in the www for some answers for my NewBie-Questions. I didnt found any helpful tips.

The Questions are:

- What are best composition settings. Is there a "basic" one which you would recommend or should it always have the same as the clips are?

- Footage: I tried thousands of settings with the DXV Codec, Quicktime, 25fps, Square pix, 1024 x 768 and the result is so bad. What I'm doing wrong?

- How do I work with 16:9 and 4:3 footage? Is there also a autoscale-function to combine 4:3 and 16:9 footage?

- Is it in generally possible to combine different footage with a different resolution that every clip will be shown on the output-screen in the right size?

I really would appreciate it if someone could help me. So I can have a better sleep tonight!!

Thank you very much!!

I generally use whatever the output resolution of the display surface is, then scale my content to match

- Footage: I tried thousands of settings with the DXV Codec, Quicktime, 25fps, Square pix, 1024 x 768 and the result is so bad. What I'm doing wrong?

bad how....how are you converting to DXV? Can't really assess the situation without more information

- How do I work with 16:9 and 4:3 footage?

it depends on what your output aspect ratio is

Is there also a autoscale-function to combine 4:3 and 16:9 footage?

not that I know of, you'll have to scale each clip individually

- Is it in generally possible to combine different footage with a different resolution that every clip will be shown on the output-screen in the right size?

yes, provided you scale each clip to the output resolution of your screen

Thank you very muchtaking the time to answer these questions.

Well, I am using Adobe Encoder with the settings I wrote. I guess I do something wrong there :/

With the 4:3 and 16:9 footage I meant "how do I combine", but you answered it in the following question. Thank you!

Thank you very much again!

All the very best!
