jpeg look terible
hi to all creative cow comiunity
i am a fun of this forum much time now, i was not registering coz i found what i was looking for,well now it seems icant thats why i registered anywayz
here i the thing…when i import photos (jpeg’s) with 72dpi (previusly batch converted from 300) and add them in my TL they look terible (exuse my ad english)
all i do -in terms of efects-is scale to 91% so they fit within the safe area and in tv (when on dvd) and i also aply cros-disolve to each and evryone of them (mostly they are araund 1200-1500 photos),as i sayd they look bad even after rendering the whole damn TLcan anyone tell me whats wrong ?
my pc specs are
mobo:abit ip35 pro
cpu:intel q6600(quat_core)
vga:evga 260_216core 819 ram
ram:4gb 800 hrzthnk evrybody in advance!

Hi Xaris,
When using stills in Premiere, I found the best results are obtained by making the image the exact size of my project, i.e. 720×480 for NTSC, change for PAL, HDV, etc.
Also, I avoid JPEGs and use BMP, TIF, TGA, formats that are not compressed.
Using the correct size image and NOT using scale will maintain the integrity of the still image better.
Don’t expect the stills to look the same on DVD at 72dpi as they did in the original 300dpi glory on the PC screen, NTSC or PAL cannot reproduce computer-quality RGB images.

thnks for the replay
i unerstund what u say but the thing is i dont scale the images its salfe but the TL so it fits on safe area otherwise video looks shoter on the ages as if its mising a portion of each side wich actualy is hapening got knows why
as for 72dpi quality it was fine until 2-3 days ago altho i perfomed a clean format the problems steel remain i dont know whyi will try to convert my photos to bmp and tiff to test as u sagest and i’ll let u know
thnks anyway -
I suspect you have ” Default Scale to frame size” selected in Preferences. This creates a small version of your image in Media Cache..another generational degradation of the original image. Then resizing that (motion effects) adds yet another generational loss.
Best bet is to turn off “Default Scale to frame size”, import the original 6 or 8 MP images and scale them down to fit.
The problem with that is the bounding box around an 8 MP image in the Program window is 10 times the size of the window so you will need to guess at a scale value and enter that into the Effects Controls pallet.One more thing that drives me bananas is the discussion of DPI in video. DPI refers to the paper world only (scanning and printing) and changing DPI has no effect on a computer screen or TV.

Photoshop -> File -> Automate -> Batch
Should take you about 15 minutes to set up, and about 15-30 minutes to process the files. OK, the first time will take you twice as long, but then you will know how, so the next time: easy!-Jeff
