Premiere Pro CS3 Problems with simple photos in time line looking poor quality
Hi guys, I’m new at all this and what i’m doing should be the simplest thing in the world to do. I imported nice size DV photos into my timeline. when I play the timeline back the photos are not crisp anymore and they show jagged edges on things in the photos itself. When I go to “Project settings” and into “Video Rendering” to change my rendering options I cant because its greyed out,, in grey it says my file format is “quicktime DV ntsc” and the compressor is “DV/DVCPro -ntsc” Is this setting my problem? and why cant I change it? I have my photos set to “high quality” in the “program window” Some where and some point DEEEEEP into this program i saw a whole list of codecs like sorenson and others, does CS3 have all these codecs to use? which one should I be using and how do I get there again?
Any help would be appreciated.

You can have DV or you can have photos, DV photos do not exist.

Your concern is likely a preview issue. Viewing photos at less than native resolution at any percent other than 25, 50, 75 or 100 will cause artifacts. Change the program window’s zoom from “Fit” to one of the above.
Also if you plan on any pan/scan, do not select “Scale to frame size” as Premiere will create (in media cache) a new version version of each photo as your Project Settings resolution. This is like generational degradation and for Jpegs a quality hit..
