    Source DSLR is a Nikon D-90.

    I wouldn’t put any thing over 4000×4000 pixels. This would likely make it a render hell.

    Not sure if this is still the case, but any pictures scaled down over 50% used to cause huge render hits.

    The best way to go about it is the create a macro in Photoshop to resize all your images. Photashop also happens to scale better than Premiere.

    That’s true before CS5, but not in CS5 and later.

    To All:

    The dimensions of the pictures from the D-90 are 4288 by 2848.

    I shrunk the pictures to about 94% of original size with a program called Irfanview since I do not have full-blown Photoshop. Was just under 4,000 pixels

    Bingo!! Imported just fine.

    Unfortunately, after I added a color matte and then exported it the quality deteriorated quite a bit compared to how it looked when imported.

    So that discovery that leads me to the next question.

    What’s the best method to export a “frame” after it’s been edited which should yield the best quality?
