[FINAL TRACK LIST] Reflections of Style: Live Action

[gotegenks]

looks like someone else is gonna have to host elyts fo snoitcelf ...

wow, it didn't really hit me how lucky i'd be to make it in until i saw that lineup. I figured (hey, who else but kham and joey actually does lamvs anyway? UR A SHOEIN!) but that line up is filled to the brim with amazing editors, it's inspiring and intimidating at the same time, i don't know how to feel! But i think everyone would apprecaite it if i used it to do a good track, so that sounds good.

so, i haven't found a source for this track...and still waiting on an answer for koop's question....so is it cool to use anime? (:ying:)

RoS live action?

Frame rate - 29.97 fps (this may be altered in the next few days)
Aspect ratio - 16:9 (1280x720 pixels - square pixels only)
Editing programs - Whatever you want. Go nuts.

For those of your using 2.35:1 cinematic sources you may want to consider getting a 1080p copy of your source and cropping this back.

Track selection aside, from a tech standpoint, the frame rate should probably be 23.976 because most of the sources people are using are films and their frame rate is already 23.976 anyway. Anything that's 29.97 is probably interlaced so these people should be IVTCing and decimate down to 23.976 also. Then again, we are using blurays/hd-dvds so no one should have anything that's 29.97 (correct me if I'm wrong). Either way, there's going to be a lot of unnecessary duplication of frames if we all have to convert up to 29.97fps.

The frame size, also looking at it from a film standpoint, I think a lot of them are going to be in cinematic 2.35:1 rather than 16:9 (based on the sources people picked, none of those sources are 16:9). You would want the minority of the sources to be cropped. Although it's my personal preference, i'd rather cut a 16:9 source down to 2.53:1 rather the other way around.

This. This times 1000.

Welp, guess I better put a hold on my encoding, then.

So...business as usual?

I agree with pwolf. The majority source is gonna be 23@2.35:1 The only exception I can see is probably foreign movies with 25/29.97/30fps. And those can be easily fixed to match the rest.

I would just prefer as little tampering with the footage as possible after it leaves my bluray drive.
And technically, shouldn't it be around 1280x544? We should eliminate as much down-sampling as possible. Id suggest putting the final compiled clips of 1280x544 (Lagarith YV12/square pixels) into a project of the same size, then outputting to the 1280x720. If you are down sampling from 1080p 1920x800 and end up with 1280x532, I suppose the final project compilation settings should be set to the majority height. Whether it be 544 or 532.

Just a suggestion.

In case I wasn't clear, I'm still looking forward to watching this when it comes out. Looks to be awesome. Just a little bummed I'm not editing a track since I was kind of looking forward to it.

Anyway, can't wait to see the finished product.
