slideshow: properties, render as.

[John Rofrano]

How are you zooming in? Pan/Crop or Track Motion? Either way you are zooming in very far into photos that don’t have much quality to begin with. If you are using Pan/Crop (and you should) and you are delivering 720×480, then no zoom should exceed 480 height in the Position window.

thanks for replying john. i used pan/crop and yes i went far beyond the limits of 480 (but to make this program with the quality of the old imagenes, the blurring was a free choise ). but the stutter of the zooms and the pans? i think (and hope) it has to do with the “project presets” and the “render as” definitions. i thought maybe there are special parameters for a b/w slideshow you use or absolute use not. in my VLC-viewer (not via vimeo) the result is much better also the sound.
at the moment i try to inform me about the values of all that parameters in “project properies” and “render as”. any suggestion of were i can find a good/clear (english is not my mothertongue and technic not my favourit) article is welcome.
kindly regards, herman

I would set your project to DV Widescreen 24p and render to DV Widescreen 24p. This way the entire thing is progressive.

thanks john. progressive in stead of interlaced seems me a good idea. i also read in the Vimeo compr. guidelines that the uplaodframerate has to be the same as the “render-” and “project properties” framerate. so everything in PAL 25or in NTSC 30. and fieldorder is best in none i suppose?

Yes, keep it progressive when working with still images.
