    Is there an ideal format for saving stills to be used in your video?

    Posted by Jerry Neal on August 21, 2007 at 7:14 pm

    Hi,

    I was wondering what the best format is for using photos in your timline (JPEG, GIF, PIC, TIFF, etc.) Is one format better than the others?

    Thanks,

    I use PNG-24 -(that includes an alpha channel) for all stills in Vegas. I few years ago I read a Vegas software engineer talking about formats and he said ‘Vegas loves PNGs’ So that’s the format I use.

    I’ve had no issues with jpg, png, and psd. You do NOT want to use TIF as that requires going through quicktime which slows things down.
