In Gimp, try save as and rename it, then import in Vegas

Like others have said, you’re moving the zoom too fast.

It’s been a few years since a burned a DVD, I use Blu Ray. Maybe someone here can give a set of rendering settings for high quality DVD.

I think 1600 is high enough if you don’t crop them.

Watch this video of DSLR images, even at internet quality the photos are sharp. On Blu Ray, they equal print quality.

Try these Project Properties:
Template HD 1080-60i (1920×1080), 29.970fps

Then render, let us know how your going to display it. Internet, DVD, BD, etc. and we can help with rendering

For the video above I used:
Main concept AVC/AAC (*mp4,*avc)
Internet HD 1080p
Customize Template
Variable bit rate
Check Two-pass
Maximum 24,000,000
Average 20,000,000

Not a flaw. I’ve been making high quality video with stills since 2003 using Vegas. As Wayne said, look at your project settings.

I don’t see how Vegas 13 would be dead. It looks more like a pre-editing tool.
Quote:
“Jump start the editing and review process by creating a rough cut storyboard with a quick initial color grade, then render it out directly or export an EDL for use in popular NLEs.”

I can help. I’ve done plenty of these. What settings are you using?
Here’s one that’s all slides in the first half.

The photo looks the same in Vegas as they do in your download. Typical quality for a scanned slide. Are you sure it’s not just your Preview Quality in Vegas? Maybe try rendering a short timeline and see how it looks.

The scans could use a little work in Photoshop. Tools like the Healing Brush can remove a lot of the dust. Some clean air from a can before you scan may also help.

Can you email me one or two of the scanned photos at 1600dpi?
I’m a professional photographer, I’ll take a look.
