Using Screen Shots
Hi,
I am trying to use screen shots of text in my video, but the resolution is terrible.
How do the pros do this? I see this kind of thing done on the TV network news where they show a document that is perfectly legible; mine are blurry.

You have a document. A WORD Doco? Or what type of doco . . ?
This is how I do it:
1/- Print to PDF
2/- Open in Adobe Acrobat
3/- Zoom up to 300% – or depending on your area you need to cover.
4/- Select ALL
5/- Open my Graphics package – Corel – and Paste
6/- Save in the most resolution<>sensible<>size format I want. For me that’s like a <1.5mb PNG
7/- Import into VP.
Job Done!
The recognition that you’ve realized is that whatever happens, the ScreenGrab is limited to:
A] That which you can SEE
and . .
B] The reso you’re allowed in a ScreenGrab session.
So, to recap:
Print to PDF > Open Adobe Acrobat > Select All > “COPY” > Graphics package and “PASTE” > Save as a Vegas Media, and for me that’s PNG.
Cheers
Grazie
