Meeting notes: Shawn Miller, RE: Video Production
4/8/04
He recommended I speak with Charlotte at Mason Media Lab about maybe using their video production equipment, like Avid and Final Cut Pro. (Haven't done it yet)
About captioning, he suggested I speak with Kristine Neuber. She should have or know about software to put captioning into movies. Final Cut doesn’t seem to have that option. He recommended that I use a white or yellow text with black background for easy reading.
The work flow process should be the following
1. Field Notes, identify key video clips
2. Download video clips to Scratch, with timecode burned in (I didn't do this because I use QT and its timecode player)
3. Produce a video with separate audio track or whatever else I want to create. (Could be done in iMovie)
4. Export product to a number of formats, FullDV Quicktime for use in iDVD or Mpg2 for use in Transana. (Use Media Cleaner Pro)
He recommended that I stick with the G4 we already have. I’ll try to buy more memory for it, boost up to 1GB. (Done)
We looked up blank DVD 50 pack price to be $50. (Otherworldcomputing.com) (Done)
Recommended that I check the video playback on a TV. (Not Done)
I also need to make sure I’m burning the timecode into the video clips during download. I said that the Digital8 format doesn’t seem to do this, but I’ll experiment to find out. Final Cut cannot burn this in after the fact. (Not so worried about this anymore)
