Help with creating a video for a digital billboard

[Bousequeen5690]

Hi, I'm a total new just started working in a company asking me to create videos I have no knowledge off and I'm the only designer working here, so hope you can help.

I was instructed to create a video for a digital billboard the size of 39m x 9m. My question is to make the video I have to follow the dimension of the billboard right for it to play properly once it projected. Or I can create a much smaller size not following the original billboard dimension but a scaled down dimension but as long the output of the video is HD or 1080p. I hope you can help me with this, I searched the internet and didn't find answers that completely answer my question. All the help would be appreciated Thank you.

I'm using adobe premiere pro CC to create this video.

Did they order fries to go with that?
Relax, I've done this many times.



None of that are my shots, but this is what they are looking for. You don't need to go all the way, so you don't need to encode a 39m x 9m video, you can do a 3900x900 and let the projector upscale that, but at first, you have to know what is the equipment you are gonna deal with.

Take a look at this:


The software and projection are gonna use split screens? They can handle a full projection? What is the software they are gonna use for playback?

Another thing to take in to consideration is the public distance, the farder away the projection is people will not be able to see details, but the close it gets you have to take a good care of resolution and bitrate.

My suggestion to you is to calm down, go see the projection site, the equipment, do some tests, you don't need to develop a video at first, make a sample image with photos and some tests, see if the projector accept the resolution you are using and you go from there.

Most important is pixel aspect ratio and display aspect ratio (in your case 39:9)- if you have those values and additionally you have accepted resolution then rest should be straightforward.
