  • Retain photo native resolution when scale/zoom into photos in premier for quality and not pixelate based on zoomed 1080P render?

    Posted by John Norman on September 2, 2014 at 5:06 pm

    If I import a high resolution photo into Premier and zoom in, Premier first converts the file to 1080P, then zooms in on the 1080P image.

    This results in heavy distortion at high zoom levels.

    Is there any way to force Premier to use the additional resolution available in the high-resolution .jpg so the zoom doesn’t look so crappy?

    The photo at 2:50 here (fly fishing) really shows this:

    Turn off Default Scale Framesize in the Preferences/General.

    Worked good.

    I also found “set to frame size” to make the entire image visible again.

    Now the issue is all my zoom’s are messed up.

    I can rebuild all the “zooms” and positions again, but is there any way to avoid re-doing this or not really?

    The other downside I also noticed is you can no longer right click the image and do “scale to frame” which I assume does the same thing. This means I must manually resize each image — they appear as zoomed in to 1080P so I must zoom out by hand and make things line up (ie: 26.7% zoom). There’s no real shortcut.

    They’re not the same thing. Set to Frame Size is what you want here to maintain the native resolution inside the smaller frame. Scale to Frame doesn’t just resize your image but also rasterizes it to the new resolution. You want Set to Frame Size and yes, you need to rebuild your moves.
