    Export best quality still images

    Posted by Gerret Warner on October 14, 2016 at 12:42 pm

    A festival has asked for hi-res images from our documentary, but anything FCP exports as a still is @ 72 dpi. Is that the best I can give them (I know print media wants at least 300 dpi). Thx

    Video is indeed 72dpi – you can increase the numbers in Photoshop, but it won’t change anything but the numbers, the true resolution will be 72dpi even if you change the number to 300 or 600dpi.

    Just as I figured.
