✂️Creating with video editors

With video editing tools, you can take chroma keyed (i.e. green screen) footage and adapt it to work in an HLD by adding shadows and other effects like reflections. Use our custom templates for Adobe Premiere Pro or Adobe After Effects or follow our content guidelines to implement a workflow in your video editing tool of choice.

Templates

We've prepared a Motion Graphics Template for use in Adobe Premiere Pro, as well as a Project File for Adobe After Effects. This template provides a variety of options to easily import and adjust content for use in Hololuminescent Displays.

You can learn more about the templates here:

Exporting

Exporting content for the HLD requires content to be rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise. We've created an EPR profile that automatically adjusts your export settings to properly account for the encoding profiles and adjustments necessary.

If you're exporting from a different software we don't have a template for please ensure the following:

• Content MUST NOT exceed 2160 x 3840 resolution.

• Content MUST be encoded in H265 (HEVC). Content not using H265 (HEVC) will not playback correctly.

• Content MUST be rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise relative to the HLD display.

Note that we provide software, called HLD Author, that converts your video to match these settings.

Previewing and exporting for HLD playback

Once you’ve exported your video, we recommend opening it in HLD Author.

HLD Author lets you:

• Preview how your content will appear on a Hololuminescent Display

• Automatically export the video in the correct format for playback on the included HLD Demo Media Player

This is the easiest way to confirm framing, depth, and orientation before deploying content to a device.
