Thanks Jill, I did try that it reduced the file size from 4.4 GB to 3.6 GB which is about 20% but still thought it would be smaller. Appreciate your reply. Mark

Thank you Igor, I use am using Quality Mode at 100 and Lossless Compression.

I am doing an AV for one of my clients using still images (5 blended images that manage the inside/outside exposure range). For the AV I used the large images (about 8MB and 5477 x 3652 pixels @300dpi). There are only 26 images most with movement in Objects and Animation and I added some music. The completed video is 4GB when saved at 1920 x 1280 and no hardware acceleration. The 8K format is around 23GB Why I am unable to save these with a smaller file size for the complete video. I did search the forum but could not find anything that may assist. I must be doing something wrong? Hopefully the brains trust can assist. Thanks in advance. Mark

Thank you for sharing. I will see what can be done as I have not used Projects/Templates previously.

I support all the other comments on this post, well done. Thanks for sharing.

This was the second time experimenting with this technique. I use a datal projector to project digital images on to the skin of a naked model. Some images are mine, some are copyright free and some are a friend who I do the workshop with. In total there was over 700 images so this is a quick slection of about 200 with limited editing. Regards Mark

That is quite an achievement to be proud of, well done. Appreciate your passion and enthusiasm. Mark

Thank you Rosemary. Glad you enjoyed it.

Brisbane City Hall was opened in 1930 by Queensland Governor (Sir John Goodwin). The building was officially opened on 8 April 1930 by Lord Mayor of Brisbane William Jolly. However it had been partially occupied since 1927. Building City Hall was a major undertaking for our city in the 1920s, taking 10 years to build at a cost of almost one million pounds. During World War II, Brisbane City Hall played an integral part of the Australian war defence process. For more information see https://www.ww2places.qld.gov.au/place?id=164#:~:text=History,surrounding town and shire councils. Today, Brisbane City Hall remains the largest city hall in Australia. It covers two acres and comprises 573 rooms and spaces including the Lord Mayor's office, Council Chambers and Museum of Brisbane. More information see https://www.brisbane.qld.gov.au/things-to-see-and-do/council-venues-and-precincts/brisbane-city-hall/city-hall-history-and-heritage/about-city-hall This short AV was made from mobile phone images during Brisbane Open House last weekend.

I captured a series of 110 images handheld on my Sony RX10IV. Stacked, aligned and edited in PS and used PTE AV Studio to make them in an audiovisual. It is the same pelican as the previous one with the itch. Mark

Thanks, it was a very interesting itch and not see ni before. Cheers Mark

70 hand held camera images aligned, cropped and edited in PS to create this AV in PTE. Mark

Thanks Tom. Looks like I may have to find some money in the Budget for DaVice Resolve Studio in the coming months. I assume you are shooting the footage on a Gimbal? Over the last few months I have increased my video footage from the drone, mobile and sometimes camera. My PC is overspecked to run video with 64GB Ram, i& processor and Nvidia RTX3060Ti video card but Topaz takes light years to run. I use VN Editor on Android that is quite good and edit on a 9 inch tablet which is not the best but VN works well with lots of easy user options and a good GUI. Cheers Mark

Intrresting, I cannnot get Topaz Video AI to run fast enough on my machine even though it exceeds the minimum specs. I have used speed ramping in Poer Director as well as numerous Android based video editors and they work quite well although I have not done the comparison in details that you have above. I think I need to find time to learn more about the free version of DaVinci Resolve. Thanks for the info. Mark

Hi Kieron They do spill onto the background and have to be post edited. This one is individually edited while the building is batch edited. On saying that the background is black and darker than the skin so a contrast adjustment can fix this sometimes depending on the brightness of the image projected. I would really like to get a better projector - possibly 4K but these are very expensive at present.. Another workshop planned for next month. Regards Mark

Here is a selection of images from a recent studio shoot.

I will have to wait 6 months to try it out or retro fit some old images. Thanks for sharing Alex.

Yes it is a digitally prjected image on to a naked female figure. The bleed onto the background is difficult to manage especially in a batch process. The first one I ran out of memory on the card (shot in continuous). May try again in the future. Thanks for looking and commenting.

A different point of view on the urban sprawl. Updated the images from the original in this version. Mark

The intricate patterns and self-similarity found in fractals accentuates the curves and contours of the human form, creating a dynamic interplay between mathematics and biology. The combination of organic movement and geometric precision evokes a sense of harmony and beauty, blurring the boundaries between art, science, and the human emotions. This is NOT a perfect show by any means. It was an idea to create an AV at the last minute. I also have some video but wanted a more punchy effect with snappy single images. The edit process of over 300 images images meant this became a time and benefit process. Learning - next time take more time to set the camera up squarely for batch processing of images. Here are the results.

Perhaps "issue" or "difficulty" or "obstacle" may have been better - problem, was just a word and a solution offerred based on my experience.

Mr Google states when asked about the error message: This means that codecs used by the video file for compression are not supported in the video player used by your device. In this case, you need to use a codec that can be played by your media player or device. How do I fix audio format not supported on my TV? Adjust the audio format on your TV To resolve this issue, you'll need to adjust the audio format within the TV's Sound or Audio menu. Typically, these settings are located under Digital Audio Format or Audio Output. The format or output must be set to one of our supported home theater audio formats. Maybe this helps? Mark

Hi Gary The problem will be your monitor or video card. It is probably at your maximum on 1920 x 1080 and cannot display 4K (3840 x 2160). I know my monitors cannot and I have a high quality video cards (hundreds not thousands in cost) lots of RAM, diskspace etc. I use 4 monitors so the monitors are the weakest point. The bottle neck for all technology is the weakest point and everything is slowed to the weakest size/quality. Cheers Mark

Yes thank you Dave. Have downloaded now just got to look at it - LOL. Do you have a style that gives you more hours in the day?
