  Posted by Fredy Schwerdtner on June 19, 2009 at 1:51 pm

  Hi fellows …
  I need some advice … I will have to edit some movies with some slideshows made with 35m Pos Slides.
  The question is what could be a good size and resolution for scanning de 35m Pos Slides and add some FXs and movements to the slides in the timeline and also if someone knows a proper product for cleaning the slides … Could it be Isopropilic Alchool ?
  I will also use Motion ….

  MacBook Pro 17″
  2.5 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
  4GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
  (2) External HD LaCieMac (400/800 FW and USB)with 500GB -(2) USB External HD Western Digital (in cases) with 750GB
  OS X 10.5.7

  Since a slide is about an inch wide, you’ll need to scan at 800 dpi for SD and around 1600 dpi for 720p HD.

  I forget the actual width of a slide, but the math is pretty simple. You’ll need as many dots as your screen is wide. And more if you’re zooming or cropping.
