Where should I begin to get oriented and learn the basics of making infomercials on both High Def as well as SD formats. I'm an extreme beginer and have been searching the net for articles that explain the basics.
I need to learn things like;
*what format should I start my MC5 projects in (e.g. 24P, 30i, resolution? etc)
*why should I use that specific frame rate and resolution in my Avid projects
*which codecs and formats should in work with
*what to do when I receive footage in several different resolutions which are in several different formats (e.g. DVCpro, Beta, Mini DV, HDCAM, memory cards, other)
*how to and why to export the final master infomercial in the right format with the right level of compression or uncompressed (CODECS). What is the right format and why?
*other important considerations that I wouldn't know to consider as an extreme beginner
I think that most of what I seek orientation on probably applies to any editing application not just Avid (I use AVID MC 5).
I found this website (www.planetoftunes.com) which helped a tiny bit but it is not exactly hitting the bullseye for my specific needs.
Kind Thanks,
Eddie
Perhaps there's a beginner book focused on this sort of thing.
