Hi all. I'm hoping someone can help me with a problem...
Most of the video work I have done is for the web. I now have a client who needs a video slideshow for a tradeshow. The output is on a plasma screen tv. They desire a DVD deliverable.
I arranged the photos (720x480 72ppi) in FCE, added the music and transitions and then exported to iDVD to play as a loop.
Everything looked great on my computer screen, but when I played the DVD on my TV at home, the images looked stretched and the most of the text i put over a black bar at the bottom of the screen was cut off.
What do I need to do? Should I resize the images I import into FCE? I noticed the "title safe" boxes, and I'm assuming now that my text must appear within those, but which one (there are 2)?
If I'm adding text to a photo in Photoshop is there a general area inside the 720x480 that i need to stay in? Example: All text must go with a 700x460 area within the photo in order to appear on the TV screen properly??
Sorry for rambling on like this, but thanks in advance for any help you can give!
