MC110 Lesson 8: Working with High-Resolution Images

What is the default duration for linked still images?

30 seconds

How is the raster dimension of your media affected when you import it?

Media Composer converts the media, including raster dimensions, to the current project format

When importing an image what option should you select in the image tab’s image size adjustment section, if your source media's raster size matches the current project format — for example, importing a 1920x1080 still image into a 1080p/23.976 project?

Image sized for current format

When importing an image what option should you select in the image tab’s image size adjustment section if you're importing 720x480 footage into a standard definition — 720x486 — project (Rare these days)

Crop/Pad for DV scan line difference

When importing an image what option should you select in the image tab’s image size adjustment section If you're importing an image, logo, or animated graphic that's smaller than your project's raster dimensions

Do not resize smaller images

When importing an image what option should you select in the image tab’s image size adjustment section If you're importing footage or still images that don't match the project's format — for example, importing a 4662x3108 photo into a 1080p/23.976 project?

Resize image to fit format raster

What does media composer automatically add when you import a high res image with the “resize image to fit format raster” setting selected to pad the image avoid distortion?

A pillar box or letterbox

How do you access source settings of a clip?

-Select one or more linked clips in the bin

-Right-click a selected clip and choose Source Settings

What are the three possible image based tabs that can be in the source settings dialoge box?

Linked plug-in, color encoding, and frame flex

Which image based tab in the source settings dialogue box displays available camera metadata you can review and adjust. This tab only appears if the clip's source file includes camera metadata?

Linked Plug-In

Which image based tab in the source settings dialogue box contains options for managing the color conversion from the hi-res camera’s native color space to Media Composer’s HD broadcast standard —  Rec. 709.?

Color Encoding

Which image based tab in the source settings dialogue box includes options for reformatting high-resolution clips to fit within a smaller project raster.

FrameFlex

Under the frame flex options which option changes the framing box to match the selection?

The Frame aspect ration option

Under the frame flex options which option repositions the framing box along the X (horizontal) and Y (vertical) axis

X and Y

Under the frame flex options which option resizes the framing box proportionally?

Size

Under the frame flex options which option rotates the framing box?

Z Rotation

Under the frame flex options which option sets the framing box to the same size as the project dimensions?

Size matches project raster

Under the frame flex options which option sets the framing box’s color?

Color

Under frame flex options which option resets the clip’s framing to it’s original size?

Reset

Which area of the frame flex options window displays the framed area as it will appear in the source monitor or sequence?

Lower Viewer

Which area of the frame flex options window shows the original image with an adjustable framing box that outlines the entire image or portion of the image that will display once you make changes?

The Source Viewer

When using frame flex in source settings which feature should you use to avoid reducing the clip’s quality?

Size matches project raster

How do you refresh a a sequence to include changes made to a clip’s source settings?

Right-click the sequence in it’s bin and choose Refresh Sequence>Aspect Ratio and reformatting options

What kind of icon does media composer add to any timeline segment that contains FrameFlex tab adjustments?

An S adapter icon

What kind of icon does media composer add to identify segments with adjustments to match the project’s frame rate?

A T icon

What kind of icon does media composer add to identify segments with source color setting adjustments?

A C icon

What does media composer automatically apply when you edit a high-res clip into the timeline?

A Frame-Flex effect that you can manipulate

When working in a 1080p project, why do you link to high-resolution (hi-res) footage rather than import it?

Link retains the hi-res raster dimension while import converts to the project’s raster dimension.

What do you call the physical size of a digital image (width and height) measured in pixels or the spatial area each pixel covers on the ground in mapping?

Raster Dimension

To adjust a hi-res image’s framing, right-click the clip in the bin and choose __________ and make changes in the __________ tab.

Source Settings, frame flex
