LEICA REEL SCREENING - HOW TO OUTPUT YOUR VIDEO FILE

Apparently the Animation Wiki is temporarily unavailable, but just in case you want to know how to create a BluRay compatible video file, the following detailed description is from technologist Nicolas Hesler. Please keep it handy for reference when you're submitting your file for the screening.

Note that there is also a video tutorial on this topic available on the Handouts Drive, located at:

Thanks, Nic!

Exporting for Sheridan Animation Screenings from Adobe Premiere CS6

1. Select the Sequence you want to export.
   
2. Ensure the Work Area Bar In and Out points are set at the beginning and end of your program.
   
3. From the File menu, select Export...Media... (Ctrl-M)
   
4. In the Export Settings window:
   
   • From the Format dropdown, select H.264 Blu-ray.
     
   • From the Preset dropdown, select Sheridan Blu-ray.
     *** Note: It is important that you select the above preset to ensure perfect audio synchronization and good picture quality.
     
   5. Set an Output Name for your exported video and audio files.
      
   6. Select the Queue button to launch Adobe Media Encoder and queue your export job.
      
   7. In Adobe Media Encoder, press the Play button to begin the export.
      

The Sheridan Blu-ray format will export several files including a .m4v (video) file, a .wav (audio) file and a .xmpses (metadata) file. In order to create a playable video file *with* audio, you need to mux (join) the video and audio files together.
To mux the .m4v and .wav files into a single .m2ts file:

1. Launch tsMuxer
   
2. Click and drag the .m4v file into the tsMuxer window.
   
3. Click and drag the .wav file into the tsMuxer window.
   
4. Click the M2TS muxing option box.
   
5. Click the Start Muxing button.
   

Review your video file with the .m2ts file extension. Play the file using Media Player Classic - Home Cinema (MPCHC). VLC will also play the file, but you may notice that the colors might be slightly washed out.
Ensure that the entire file plays correctly before submitting your file.
