  • Best way to do a Slide Show?

    Posted by Tyez on September 21, 2005 at 3:36 am

    Hey all, I am doing a slide show of pics form a 5.0 picel camera with music and some slow zoom ins. Looks good but when I export it to an AVI file it looks alittle rough. I have all the quality settings on high too. Is there some you should click to make it look better? Like interlaced or progressive scan or something? ANy help would be appreciated.

    Define “rough”

    Pixelated, some pans have a strobe effect.

    That’s because your images are actually TOO HIGH of a resolution. Thin lines cause what you are describing because of the interlacing on the TV. The major things to try first are:

    1) Render at BEST quality (should use “Best” when using photos but for video only, “Good” is usually sufficient)

    2) Turn on “Reduce Interlace Flicker”

    3) Maybe add a slight Blur

    So the best way to do this then is resize all my pics? I know when I do a photo slide show with jpg on a cd for the DVD player the smaller pics are way better. I tried a slide show with smaller pics and it does look better. Weird how that is.

    A lower resolution image CAN actually help because you will have fewer “thin” lines. The problem is really your interlaced TV so you have to dumb down the images to the TV looks better.
