Achieve best quality with static images
Hi,
simple process here: a series of 6 static images (price lists) are placed in premiere. Each list is displayed for 20 seconds, and then the following image is displayed trough a transition.
This is then sent to Encore using dynamic link and gets burned in a DVD and played continuosly.
**The images are created in 150 dpi, and then resized to 720×576, 72 dpi.
My question is:
Is there a desired setting to achieve the best quality in static imagery? I’m currently using DV PAL in Premiere and adjusting the Encore transcoding settings to get high quality. I’ve used the “maximum render quality” option but haven’t seen much difference.
Thanks

Build the static images in Photoshop using the same dimensions and pixel aspect ratio as your project. Save them as Targa or TIFF and try that.

I do a lot of 400 or maybe a 1,000 still image presentations and use the RAW images created out of a Canon 5D mark II and converted to jpeg leaving the dpi and converting the width from say 3900 pixels to 1800 pixels in Photoshop in Processing multiple images. Then import into Premiere Pro as Automate to Sequence that automatically inserts the dissolve transition, it does it in seconds.
The quality on a Sony HD Bravia 46″ is at 1920 x 1080i widescreen 16 :9 High Definition, none of the original image is compromised if you Export to professional tape or Blu-ray.
The reason I use 1800 pixels is because the image fits between the Safe margins in Premiere Pro and you do not crop any of the image.

Thanks for the answers.
Scott, right niow I´m importing the psd in 720 x 576 from Photoshop into Premiere. But I wanted to be sure that I´m exporting the sequence right.
Thanks for explaining your process Bob.

I´ve just been told by the client that he´s changed his TVs from regular widescreen to Led Tvs. So, he wants have HD quality for this lists because he says he´s seen it somewhere else and there´s a huge difference in quality.
As fas as I know, I´m already using the best quality I can, so I think he might have got it wrong.
I´m producing original PSD´s in 1366 x 768 px (72 dpi). Those are then sent to a 720 x 756 px web/film PSD template, and imported into Premiere.
Do you think that having switch to LED Tvs with higher resolution, could be the reason? Maybe I should use another PSD template, let´s say HDTV or something bigger than 720 x 756?

LED’s are old technology , mainly an advantage for backlighting, however, a 1920x 1080p Sony Bravia HD has backlighting and for a top line Tv I cannot see any difference, but, he may have better eyes.
I always use 1920 x 1080i in stills or 1800 to fit between safe margins. You may not need high quality for the web but, definitely for a TV at 46″ or greater or screen projection See our web site

Check out video clips for Hong kong, Taiwan , Korea etc , shot on a Canon 5 D Mark II at 1920 x 1080p, top quality is not needed for web design.The video has been downsized for internet transmission.

Hey Bob,
how do you reproduce those videos in portable media? I know they can´t be burned into DVD´s.
That´s what I was using up until now. However, with my client wanting higher def., I think I´m left only with Blu-ray.
He´s also asking if it could be achieved by putting the video file in a portable/ stick drive, but I´m not sure that´s even posible.
Any thoughts on that? I´ve managed to come up with a 1920 x 1080i file but the idea is to play it without a PC.
