April 12, 2015 at 4:04 pmWhat version of Vegas are you using? How large are your stills? What is your Preview window set to?

April 13, 2015 at 9:00 pmHi Mike, thanks for responding.
I am using VP 9. I scanned slides at 350 DPI, resulting in 25 kb jpegs on average. I have tried various settings in the preview window with no success.
Thankyou -

April 13, 2015 at 11:07 pmJonathon, something is wrong with your scanning setup somewhere. I regularly scan my images at 150 to 300 dpi and the result is images around 1 MB. in size and up, not 25 kb.
If that’s all they really are, that would explain why they look so bad. -

April 14, 2015 at 12:18 amAssuming you’re going to crop them to 1920 x 1080, your scanned image should be at least 1920 pixels x 1080 pixels or about 2 mega pixels. The file size will depend on jpg compression, but I would guess at least 1 mb.

April 14, 2015 at 1:13 amHe said they are slides. I’m guessing 35mm
I’d scan one and check the resolution in pixels to find the right setting -

April 14, 2015 at 12:03 pmThankyou for all your responses.
scanned 35mm slides:
1200dpi-1044pix x 1528 pix
1600dpi – 1392pix x 2037 pix.Even these large files, when placed on the timeline, appear out of focus.
Any ideas?
