Alternate track exercise:
In this exercise you'll create both alternate audio and video tracks,
and make a simple menu that has buttons targeting the different tracks.
Part 1 - preparing assets with FCP
- Open FCP. You should have two tracks of video and corresponding audio.
(Make it at least 1 minute or so.)
- Create some named markers. Be sure to create both chapter AND compression
markers.
- Remember to have black at the beginning and end of your sequence.
- Set an IN point in the black at the beginning and an OUT point in
the black at the end. Be sure not to change these when you export!
Part 2 - Exporting using Compressor
- Turn off one of your video tracks and the corresponding
pair of audio tracks.
- Export with Compressor using CBR (Fast encode). (Pay attention to
the file names and locations.)
- Turn on your other video track and corresponding pair of audio tracks.
- Export again with Compressor using the same CBR (Fast encode) mode.
(Pay attention to the file names and locations.)
Part 3 - Creating a simple DVD project
- Import your 4 files into DVDSP.
- Make a single track out of your primary video and corresponding audio
files.
- In the same track, drag in the second video file. Then under the
primary audio, drag in your secondary audio track.
- Create a simple menu that has at least 1 button pointing to
the primary video track. Be sure to also set the tracks's "jump when
finished" command to point back to the menu.
- Extra brownie points for making more buttons that target alternate
streams and chapters.
Place the completed VIDEO_TS in your Week 10 folder.
