Frame size, Premier Pro 2
I’m very much an amateur and am trying to put together an AV with a number of stills that are all sized to 1026 by 686. In setting up a new project, I’ve selected the Custom settings, changed editing mode to Desktop and Pixel Aspect Ratio to square pixels. The frame size is set to 1026 x 686.
I’ve not altered any of the other settings, and not that the Video Rendering Compressor is set to Cinepak Codec by Radius.
When rendering an image in the project, it takes ages and then the image is of very poor quality.
Can anyone help, please.

What is the target display device. If it’s for desktop viewing, square pixels are fine. Otherwise, the project should should be formatted with a full screen or widescreen aspect ratio, and the images should be resampled to match.
If there is no video in the project, it’s probably safe to say that the project should be Progressive (not interlaced).
Check the project settings, or create a new project. Look under Project Settings/General/Video/Fields – choose No Fields (Progressive Scan).I think Cinepak is the default compressor, when you switch to desktop editing. For your video rendering settings I’d recommend using Compressor: None.
As far as render times, make sure your output matches your project settings. If you are expoting to a non-square pixel format you’re invoking an additional rendering process that increases the render time.
Also, if your output is set to Fields and not Progressive, that might be causing the poor quality.
Further, if this program will be displayed on a CRT, you should resample your images using some type of “deflickering” technique, such as Deflickerator, probably available here…
https://www.wrigleyvideo.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=23238Are you exporting a “movie”, or using Adobe Media Encoder, or something else? What codec (compressor/decompressor) are you exporting to, If it’s MPEG it will take a good deal of time.
just some ideas

Many thanks Vince, I will give your suggestions a try. I do a lot of photography and the idea is to create audio visuals without having to crop images to a different size. The required size (in photographic circles) is 1024 by 760 but resizing, rather than recropping, results in an image size of 1024 by 683 to 686. I’ve therefore settled on a height of 686 and that gives me a width of between 1024 and 1026, hence the use of 1026 x 686.
The intention is to create executable files that will be played on a pc and projected onto a screen.
Many thanks, again.
Rob.
