  Scanning Photos for 16×9

  Posted by Paul Spillenger on May 24, 2007 at 7:39 pm

  I am using still photos in an HDV 16X9 (1920×1080) documentary being edited in FCP 1. I am using a consumer multifunction machine as a scanner

  [giraut] “And then, do I import it directly into FCP or must I first massage it in Photoshop to make it the proper 16×9 aspect ratio? Or will FCP do this for me?”

  You can take it right into FCP and then change the file in Photoshop later. The open in editor command is nice for this.

  As far as file size goes, make sure it’s big enough, but if it is too big it will really bog down your system. So it depends on your system really.

  I often find that I need to blur photos in photoshop to get them to look good in FCP. You’ll really want to have a broadcast monitor connected to your system so you can see how the photo looks on TV and prevent buzzing image problems.
