Power point png
Oka, so I have power point png’s that I am importing into frames into my video. in the source monitor they look fantastic. Perfectly clear, but when I input them into the timeline, they’re not as clear. Is there something I’m doing wrong? I need the pp files to look as crisp as possible and they’re not.

Are you scaling the images? What are the pixel dimensions of your sequence and your footage items? What is the playback resolution set to in your Source and Program monitors?

I’m surprised that they look good at all. PowerPoint exported slides have always been known to, well, suck to be honest. PowerPoint has never exported with anti-aliasing, so images tend to have blocky edges, particularly text. In fact, there is a PowerPoint plug-in from PPTools that allows for image export with much more resolution, and I believe some anti-aliasing of text. You can also use SnagIt, from the same folk that make Camtasia, which also adds a plugin to PowerPoint to let you capture slides in higher resolution.

I always print Powerpoint files to PDF files, and they look fine.

Not scaling the images. 720×480 footage items playback is full

I try to do that. But then I go to save the PDFs, there nowhere to be found on my computer. I can’t figure that one out, but it occured to me that I may need to do that.

I have had some success with hopping PPT files through a multi-page PDF for conversion and inclusion in Premiere.
There’s no “perfect” solution. PPT is the square peg in the round hole of an edited sequence. A big hammer helps.
