SCANNER PRODUCTION PIPELINE SCANNER
DETERMINE RESOLUTION OUTPUT DIMENSION* = SCAN RESOLUTION (DPI) SOURCE DIMENSION** I.E. I am scanning something that is 8"x10" and I need to be able to zoom in on an area that is 1"x2" for HD. 1920 pixels would be the "Output Dimension" and 2 inches would be the "Source Dimension." 8" 1920 pixels 10" 2"
= 960 (DPI) 2 inches

RENDER QUICKTIME SD OR HD****
*Output Dimension is the longest side of your frame, in pixels, ie: HD = 1920 pixels & SD = 720 pixels. **Source Dimension is the longest side of the smallest area to fill the frame. This should be measured in inches. ***The TIFF file format is uncompressed. ****Please refer to "Standard Definition Output" or "High Definition Output" for output paths.

Please see the Video Studio for other alternatives. **THIS FORMAT IS UNCOMPRESSED OR CONSIDERED TO BE SUITABLE for chroma key (green screen) and compositing work. NOTE: YOU WILL NEED TO CONTACT THE VIDEO ENGINEERS IN THE VIDEO STUDIO TO SCHEDULE SPACE/TIME TO SHOOT UNCOMPRESSED VIDEO. In addition you should consult the Video Engineers and the Digital Systems Specialist to discuss Uncompressed Video Offline/Online workflows prior to shooting. Experimental Animation students do not have access to camcorders capable of Uncompressed HD. Collaborations with Film/Video and FDP students may make usage possible. ****Please refer to "Standard Definition Output" or "High Definition Output" for output paths. rev. 09-02-10
