Photograph workflow and render
Hi everyone.
Im now working in a project wich needs to use a hi amount of photographs. My setting is 1080i 50 ProRes.
I need to work realy in detail with these photos and thats why I need them to be
really big (7000 x 6000 pxls more or less).The evident problem is that every little motion I aply to a photo it takes to much time for FCP to render, and i really mean TO MUCH TIME.
So my question is, is there a way to avoid this render time consuming problem but keeping the quality of my photos? I have a PowerMac and don´t want and can´t get a newone. Maybe some kind of pluggin can solve this. Any ideas will be apresiatted.
Thanks again and best regards.

Well, the basic workflow for using graphics is that you need to first optimize them for television first.
Are you going to move them or scale them up or down (pan or zoom)? If not, you really need to make them with the same resolution as the HD frame for maximum performance.
If you need to do moves, then you really don’t need the frames to be more than twice the native HD frame size. Your images are WAY to big.
The other thing you have to take care of is pixel depth at 72 DPI, which is the target for video graphics.
So, fix the frame size and pixel depth in photoshop, then re-import them and work from there.
