muvipix New Stuff ! (November 2007)

[Chuck Engels]

It all works with all versions, just using the latest technology for the tutorial that's all

[Jayell]

That's what I wanted to hear .. thanks, Chuck!

[Jayell]

Another question .. I notice all the new motion backgrounds are in Quicktime (mov) format. Better to convert into dv-avi before bringing into PE (I'm using V2)?

[Ron]

Those files work great with PE. Just do a quick render when adding them to the timeline. No need to convert prior to importing.

[Jayell]

I didn't really think you were just looking to give us more things to do, Ron But if I make any changes, keyframes, etc to those clips .. does it add more render time when burning than if they were avi's. Just wondering about the technical aspect.

[Chuck Engels]

We tested them quite heavily and Premiere Elements handles them very well and with no additional resource requirements that we are aware of.
If you notice any problems Jayell please let us know. I only tested two of the backgrounds in any one project, not sure what would happen if you added 20 or more
They are the proper size for video so it isn't like adding a bunch of oversized still images at 8mp or something.

jayell, I used the 2 new tennis backgrounds and changed the brightness & opacity each time and it did not take longer to render. Used the green one at the beginning and the red one for each title. Looks good, thanks for the tennis backgrounds!

[Jayell]

Thanks, mom.
I don't usually use more than one or two at a time anyway Chuck, so I'm sure it wouldn't be significant .. just curious

[momoffduty]

jayell, thanks too about the tip of changing the opacity level, like you did with the tennis net background. Hadn't really thought about that before.

Forgot to say earlier, thanks for the new tutorials. Always learn something new. The free tutorial "converting WMV to DV-AVI" viewed online is the photoshop elements tutorial.

I'm pulling my head out of the members download section long enough to say THANKS from one very happy MuViPixer!!!
