How to convert your movie to the
Galeria Virtual right format
There are many methods that you could use. We are going to explain one of
the easiest methods. It works on PCs and Macs.
First you need to extract the les from the folder blueprint for your computer.
[If you havent downloaded the les yet, you can nd them at the address
http://spurban.com.br/convocatoria]
The folder blueprint contains the les that will serve as a mask for your
video production. It works as the pixel map of the buildings facade, so use
it properly, ok?
In order to help, we published two videos on our youtube channel.
The rst video is an example of how you should send us your project:

The second video shows how the nal result will be, already on the building
facade!:

You can select one of the many blueprint formats that we supply as base
to your work. You can nd it inside the folder that you extracted: GIF with
transparency, JPG, PSD, PNG, AEP (After FX CS5) and FCP (FinalCut Pro).
TIP 1:
Galeria Virtual has a very small graphic resolution (215 x 168 pixels). It is not
recommend to produce videos with antialias or too much shades of colours
because it could turn in a non-compreensive graphic.
TIP 2:
For production quality you could use Animation, PhotoJPG, Apple Pro Res
codecs for example. Remember that antialias is not your friend in this case.
TIP 3:
Strong and vibrant colors works very well on the LEAD platform (especially
8 bit aesthetics).
TIP 4:
Avoid nuances and gradient colors, especially soft colors and gray tones.
The LED system does not recognize nuances.
TIP 5:
Avoid gray color and large white areas.
TIP 6:
If you want to highlight some element please add a thin black outline.
About the format we use at our Media Server:
Our player works with AVI les, 1024x768 pixels, Cinepak Codec, Quality
90%, no bandwidth limit, audio 44khz, 16bit, stereo.
