  • cropping still images for use in video (what size?)

    Posted by Chris Wright on August 18, 2006 at 5:35 pm

    This might be a simple question for many of you, but I am a little confused on what size I should be cropping my still images for use in Premiere and/or Final Cut. I’ve cropped them at 720 x 480, but they look a little bit stretched when I bring them into my video editing program. The pixel aspect ratio is currently set to square. Does it need to be changed to DV/NTSC.

    Thanks,
    ~Chris
