Hello!

I am making my first traditional animation and my deadline is coming up very fast. Now that almost everything is done I still got some problems I did not expect. I would be so pleased if anyone could inform me as soon as possible.

I have made Tiff-files in Paint.net after scanning in my pictures as black and white Tiff-files with my scanner.They are coloured and they also must be coloured. I am wishing to use them in my animation that has to be shown on TV and computer so the quality has to be good. I made them just in case big so that if you zoom-in to them in Paint.net they still look very good.

I got into trouble when importing the files into Stop-Motion Pro and Premiere. Somehow they never look good and you can see the pixels when the pictures are moving.

I have been told that I should buy After effects to edit my pictures so that they continue to look well in movement. However I do not have any experience at all about After Effects and I fear that I could get into same trouble if I bought it.

Would anyone know where the problem is? Could it be in the Paint.net files themselves? Or is it just so that i can not handle those pictures in my current programmes and that After Effects would do it better?

Just in case, this is how the computer descripes the files:
Dimensions: 6200X4960
Type: Tiff file
Size: 1,8MB

Thank you once more for reading!

With friendly and thankfull regards,
Johanna
