Video and Audio Methods: Video Conversion Test
2/18/04
On Monday I tested out compiling a video file on Premiere on the main projection computer. Here’s what I found:
·Output video quality was very poor for Quicktime.
·Downloading raw video to computer takes a lot of time.
·Rendering a timeline for video file takes a lot of time.
·I could not get the audio tracks to play separated. They play simultaneously. I don’t know how to do this with Premiere, if it’s possible at all.
·I could not get on the computer until class was over, about 5pm.
·I tried outputting to MPEG, that was better I think.
·I tried playing my Mpeg on my computer, it didn’t work.
·I played the DVD version, m2v extension, there was no sound.
·The VCD and the SVCD were decent quality with a little pixelation. Those were the best I could generate from this round of testing.
·I found Premiere pretty easy to use, although I felt that there were definitely more expert ways of downloading video to the computer. I guess I could have tried StudioDV, but that crashes all the time.
On Wednesday, I’m trying out the PowerBook G4 laptop with iMovie.
·Downloading is in real time it took forever.
·iMovie doesn’t let me do the “enable tracks” only the Quicktime Player full version allows you to do that.
·I will try playing this on my laptop at home.
