    You can also try to export your image from PS in Tiff 8 or 16 bits, even putting layers with alpha, the Pan&Zoom would import them without problems.
    The only limitation is that with layers the filter merge all that, your layered img will be flattened.

    That way, you can check if it is something corrupted at a jpeg level.

    I tried a lower resolution tiff and it works so far. Haven’t tried any effects yet, but at least the image shows up when I import it after the P&Z was applied.

    The original was a 103mb jpg.
    This is a tiff about 1/2 the size.

    I guess I can experiment with different sizes and formats.
    Seems AVID doesn’t like the large tiff?

    There really is no reason to use super high resolution photos. It’s all going to get down sampled to video resolution anyway..and as you can see, it can cause performance issues.

    Make them about double the pixels of your video frame, so you can do a decent move on them. Anything higher than 72 dpi is unnecessary.
