@emittan Interesting. Have any pointers to articles on this? I mean it's still just a good middle ground between SD and HD, right? |
@mikeysan That's why I always put it in the form of a question in my bug reports. Like: "What are you, stupid?" |
@liamhodges Early draft of talk did in fact have a Kubrick segment. |
@maddox The trick seems to be limiting the bitrate to 5Mbps and 24fps. I did that now and Apple TV played 1280x720 rendered output. |
@scottsimpson Sort of like starting one’s “tribute” with “Looks like I’ll get my chance to dance on _____’s grave.” |
@maddox Why not? Breen article here: http://xrl.us/bed5v5 says Apple TV will play 1280 × 720 video if it's under 5Mbps. No? |
iMovie 09's presets are the easiest way to export, but why is "Large" only 960 × 540? Why not an XL 1280 × 720, too? |
Theory: the people who send out “RT” tweets are the same fuckers who came in and ruined Usenet a decade ago. |
The style/kerning/line spacing section of iMovie’s font panel isn’t standard, is it? (I wish it were.) http://xrl.us/bed2rb |
@siracusa With! I'm truly a horrible videographer. |
Cabel Sasser and I discuss MGM Enterprises Computer Tables, one of our favorite exhibitors at MWSF this year: http://bit.ly/computer-tables |
@jsnell Depends what else you’ve got going on. I’m seeing it fluctuate between 150-175% CPU here. |
@rentzsch Can an “Internet Plug-In” add a menu item? |
On a lot of my clips, I suspect iMovie 09 just wants to pop up an alert that says “Dude, how about you learn how to hold the camera still?”... |
@drwave That's the rub, I suspect. Flip Ultra footage (640×480) gets analyzed a lot faster than footage from Kodak Zi6 (1280×720). |
Sub-pixel anti-aliasing in both Pages and Numbers 09. (A.k.a. "Best for LCD" anti-aliasing.) |
It does not magically make “walking around with camera” tracking shots look like they were shot by Garrett Brown with a Steadicam. |
Where iMovie stabilization excels is handheld footage where you were trying to be still, or very slowly panning. |
@darrylring @freshyill So far, yes, I’d say iMovie 09’s stabilization makes up for lack of built-in stabilization on cams like Flips and Zi6... |
Image stabilization analysis on my 2.5 GHz Core 2 Duo MBP seems to vary based on complexity. Took 10m for one 1m clip, less for others. |
