Help! First gig !

Post by saeedq »

Hi guys,

So i have a gig coming up this weekend.The Screen size is pretty rectangular its 32 feet wide and 6-8 feet high.
Using a barco 10,000 lumens projector.
How do i set up my composition in resolume?
I am guessing most of the footage will get chopped off vertically on both ends. Some tips , guidance and advice on how to go about this please.

Thanks.

The best I think would be for you to set your composition size to the aspect ratio of the screen you'll be projecting on, with your comp width matching the projectors resolution.
This way you'll see in the output monitor exactly what you will see on the screen.
Set the projector to cover the entire screen, but not much more, so you don't lose brightness.
Then in advanced output adjust your output slice shape so it matches the surface shape.

The native resolution of the projector is 1400x1050 , 4:3 aspect ratio.
what would be the aspect ratio of the screen then? 16:9 ? like i mentioned the screen is 32 feet wide and 6 feet high.
Thanks for your response.
