Chapter 1: Introduction This chapter introduces CyberLink PowerProducer and the digital movie production process, including what you need to have on hand before you begin working with CyberLink PowerProducer. If you are looking for instructions on how to start producing a movie immediately, see Produce a Movie Disc on p.15. This chapter contains the following sections: • Welcome on p.2 • Production Flow on p.3 • Your Production Environment on p.5 • PowerProducer Projects on p.6 • The Right Technology on p.
Chapter 1 Welcome Welcome to the CyberLink family of digital video tools! CyberLink PowerProducer allows you to finalize your digital video productions and burn them to disc. You can use PowerProducer for light editing tasks and to capture new media, and when it’s time to polish your movie, CyberLink PowerProducer is the best production tool to use. What is a production tool? A production tool turns the movie on your hard drive into a DVD or CD that you can play on a disc player and share with friends.
Introduction Production Flow The digital movie production process involves a combination of artistry and technology, beginning with raw video footage and ending with a movie production burned to disc. CyberLink PowerProducer provides the easiest way to produce your finished movie and burn it to the medium of your choice. Pre-Production Before you produce your movie using CyberLink PowerProducer, you must first gather (or create) its component parts: video clips, photos, and background music.
Chapter 1 Disc Production When your movie is ready for production, that’s the time to use PowerProducer. Because PowerProducer offers basic video editing tools, your movie does not have to be perfectly polished at this stage. If you have your media clips on hand, but have not previously edited and polished your movie, you might expect to use CyberLink PowerProducer to perform the following tasks: Specify the disc type and video quality you want to use. Acquire video content.
Introduction Your Production Environment CyberLink PowerProducer offers a range of choices to set your video production environment to better suit the way you work. These preferences, described below, can be accessed by clicking the button, available on most PowerProducer screens. • Movie playback mode: Set your video to return to the disc • • • • • • • • menu or continue on to the next movie after each movie on the disc finishes playing.
Chapter 1 PowerProducer Projects CyberLink PowerProducer saves projects as a .PPP file. This project file is the collection of all of your movie content, your special effects, and your settings, but is not the final production. This file must be rendered (compiled, or created) from its component parts in order to create the final production, much like a batter must be baked to make a cake out of eggs, flour, and milk.
Introduction The Right Technology With a seemingly unending array of technologies in the digital video industry, selecting exactly which is suitable for your movie production may seem overwhelming: Should you burn your movie to CD or DVD? Should you use HQ, SP, or LP video quality? What are NTSC and PAL? This chapter takes the guesswork out of digital technology, so you can use CyberLink PowerProducer to turn a daunting task into creative freedom. CD vs.
Chapter 1 CD Types CD denotes a disc size that contains up to 74/80 minutes of high quality video or 650/700 MB of data. DVDs, VCDs, SVCDs, and miniDVDs (despite the name) are all CD size. CD-R CD-R is a once-writable format. CD-RW writers and some new DVD writers can write in CD-R, and most DVD players can also read this format. The CD-R format is commonly used for distribution of computer data and digital audio. CD-RW CD-RW is a rewritable CD format.
Introduction DVD Types DVD is a high capacity CD-size disc that holds anywhere from 1 - 12 gigabytes of data, or from 1 - 6+ hours of video (depending on the type of DVD). Using the High Quality setting, you can expect to be able to record 1-2 hours of video.) DVDs can be played on DVD players and computers equipped with DVD drives. For more detailed information on DVD-R/RW formats, see www.dvdrhelp.com/dvd or other web sources. For more detailed information on DVD+R/RW formats, see www.dvdrw.
Chapter 1 NTSC vs. PAL NTSC and PAL are formats adopted by television broadcasters in different countries. The main difference between the two formats is the number of frames per second they offer: 30 in NTSC, and 25 in PAL. This difference means that a movie recorded in NTSC format is unplayable by a PAL player and vice versa.
Introduction System Requirements The system requirements listed below are recommended as minimums for general digital video production work. You may find that your system, while meeting these recommended minimums, requires expanded capacity during specific DV editing tasks.
Chapter 1 Hard Disk Drive MPEG-1 (VCD) files: 1GB or higher MPEG-2 (DVD) files: 10GB or higher Video Capture Analog WDM-compliant USB or PCI capture device DV OHCI-compliant IEEE1394 I/O device Burning A CD or DVD writer is required for burning VCD, SVCD, DVD, or miniDVD movies.
