Hi Eddie,

Can you give me more details on what you need? You have an image during the song, and what do you need? Animating the image?

[Eddie Valentin]

Hi Devrim,

This is what I do. I want to know if I have “import settings” right and also “view” and If Im missing something? I just want it to be perfect for music production? is there something I can do to improve sound quality and picture quality? I screen recorded what I do. Im not trying to do animations I just want to leave it with just one image and song but what else can I do to improve image and sound quality? Do I have all settings correct? Is everything is video good Proxies, Optimized media? is “better quality” actually better than “better Performance”? Please help me out here

That’s all good, no problems here.

The only thing is, you don’t have to export it in ProRes, use H264 that’s more than enough.

For the sound quality, you set up your timeline 48Khz, that’s all you need. All good.

<font face=”inherit”>The most important thing about the picture quality is, you should use bigger images if you can. Your timeline is 3840×2160</font>;<font face=”inherit”> your images should be at that size, at least.</font>

Turning image quality to Better allows you to see your timeline in better quality, but it doesn’t affect the export.

Size your image to your video frame size, unless you’re doing pans and zooms on it. When you export, that image will be scaled down, anyway. Scaling down too much can have the same detrimental effects as scaling up too much.

1. Place audio track in the Primary Storyline.

2. Select it, press X to make it a Range Selection.

3. Press Q to attach the image above it, it will automatically adjust to the duration of the selected Range.

4. Export as H.264.
