All films for the 2010 Film Festival must be file type delivered on a DVD as a Quicktime File in the H.264 format .
We recommend using the Quicktime H.264 codec at size 1280×720, bit rate 3000-5000 kbits/sec (optimized for “download”), key frame every 30 frames (frame reordering on), using whatever frame rate you shot in.
For sound, use AAC at 128kbps in stereo.
Should I deinterlace before I upload?
It’s almost always a good idea. If you’re outputting 1080i, deinterlace and resize to 1280×720 before you upload. In many cases if your final outcome is a progressive medium (web, LCD TVs, HD-DVD, etc.) you might be better off deinterlacing before you even start editing.
All files are loaded up on a hard drive for playback and a Mac will be used through the **&^ interface to play the film seamlessly.
