Hi Mike,
You missed NAB this year, Ed was there. It’s was great. I bring all my images into Photoshop and run an action to all my images that sets them at 720 x 480 jpeg. PNG are more friendly to Vegas from what I hear, but jpeg works for me. At the same time my images are set at 300 dpi. Listen to what Ed has to say about the pan/crop and match aspect ratio. I just finished my China DVD’s with over 2000 pics. It looks great.
Happy Travels and Editing
