oldaccount1 Posted January 24, 2004 Share Posted January 24, 2004 How do the pros edit movies? Like motion pictures. Is there a resolution that they import on? What technology/software do they use? Is there an article on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saxondale. Posted January 24, 2004 Share Posted January 24, 2004 i just thought it was little segments of the film in a projecter thing and it is projected onto a screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xfodder Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 i dont really know what your talking about, but the physical size of the film they use is 35mm i think :) i dont really know if they look at it in resolution terms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, now movies are all digitally graded - that is, they go Camera (Panavison, usually) -> Digital Telecine -> Digital Grading S/W -> Reverse Digital Telecine (term?) -> Projecting Film. Not sure 'bout the resolution, tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asheep_uk Posted February 4, 2004 Share Posted February 4, 2004 A standard movie has a ratio of 1.85:1. More recent movies, in CinemaScope or Panavision films are even wider at 2.35:1. Widescreen TVs use a ratio of 1.77:1 (more typicaly known as 16:9), this is why even the most recent movies are still letter boxed on a widescreen TV. More and more editing is done on computers now, especialy when handling CG characters such as in Star Wars or The Matrix. This means the film is imported digitaly, then edited, then exported back onto film. The favourite tool of digital editing is a Mac with FinalCut Pro and/or some custom made software.

xfodder Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 the software and equipment is probably out of the price range of a private film maker/fun movie maker, i would just use a good DV camera and maybe if you can afford it adobe premier and after effects, or if on a mac the excellent tools that are available for the mac world, in fact if you are serious enough to spend i would go with mac when making or editing etc. most pro's use mac :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
