Synopsis: Topics include: Preparing and using video for CD-ROMs, the World Wide Web, or DVD as well as a review of the fundamentals of (a) acquiring source video, (b) digitizing, (c) editing, (d) compressing/codecs, (e) deployment methods, and (f) cross platform considerations. We will illustrate and demonstrate these concepts in order to give participants the foundation needed to understand production and digitizing procedures. Adobe Premiere and Terran Interactive's Media Cleaner Pro will be used. The QuickTime architecture and its suite of codecs are featured, although others are discussed. In the afternoon, we will discuss and demonstrate the latest digital video (DV) camcorder technology and the FireWire (IEEE 1394) DV interface standard that allows encoded video and sound to be transferred directly into the computer and other DV systems. In editing, the conventional video digitization step is eliminated because the DV camcorder IS the codec.
