    Hi all,

    I was wondering if anyone knew about creating digital pictures from a VX2000 digital video using Vegas.

    Is this possible?

    Would the resolution be worth it?

    Can I “fix” the digital stills with Photoshop?

    Any ideas?

    Thanks in advance,
    Paul

    [Paul] “Is this possible? “
    Yes. Just click on the “Save Snapshot” button. There are some things you can do to improve the quality such as changing the preview mode to best (full), changing the project to progressive, etc… To really simplify things, use a script. I have full details on one of my newsletters.

    [Paul] “Would the resolution be worth it? “
    Maybe – depends on what you’re trying to do. Standard NTSC DV will give you a 655×480 image at 72dpi.

    [Paul] “Can I “fix” the digital stills with Photoshop? “
    I don’t know. Can you? You can definitely load them into Photoshop and manipulate them however you desire.
