Best rez for stills?
I’m importing jpegs for a slide-show. They are large – I forget the exact rez.
Is there an ideal size that I should convert these to (in photoshop), and if so, does it affect much besides render-times? I don’t want to do all that work unless it will have a significant effect on the look of the DVD.
Thanks -

I have found that a 2 to 1 or 1to1 ratio to the video is good.
If you are not pushing (zooming) into the still then this formula works.
-resize the still in photoshop with the “image/ resize” tool.
-make sure the “lock aspect ratio” is checked.
-set the amount of horizontal 720, the other will self adjust into place.
Save as PSD or jpg
Try 1440 if you have thin lines. it helps those edges a little.Too high of a rez and those pics will jump around on you.
Good luck

We use a script that takes the greater of the horizontal/vertical values and reduces it to 2K. Of course, this assures that the other value is also reduced to a more optimal number.

Assuming that you are in the US (NTSC Video) and that your
project is SD not HD, and you are resizing stills outside of Vegas, such as with Photoshop, here is the recommended size.If you are not zooming in with Pan/Crop: 655X480
If you will be zooming in tighter with Pan/Crop 1310X960Regards, Rick.

Douglas, where can one get a copy of that script? Is it an action that has been created in Photoshop?
Thanks
