Converting photoshop files to dv *successfully*….

[Kevin Monahan]

In my opinion, there is a point where too large a frame size is overkill. I need no more than 2 to 3 times the native frame size for stills. If you ignore that, you’ll get sluggish performance and a bloated project file. Can you guys dig that?

I oppose calling motion control work, “the Ken Burns Effect” as well. Reeks of bush league video post. 😉

Yea, absolutely true… I had a guy scan some stuff for me, and he didn’t read my instuctions correctly… they were scanned in at something like 8000 x 6000 pixels, it was crazy slow. I resized them all to 2400×1600 I think as all was well.

As far as calling it Ken Burns effect, well, I guess I believe that language is meant for communication, and I think by using that everyone knew what I meant! 🙂 However, you’re correct about the RIGHT thing to call it.
