It varies a bit from ‘flame to flame’ but pretty much its:
X: 0.25 in
Y: 0.1-0.25 in
Blur: 0.19 in

Thanks to all who offered advice on how to enhance the quality of my stop motion project. I wound up doing using automate in Ps to make each individual still image 1920×1080, then brought them into QT Pro as an image sequence and exported as ProRes 422. Worked like a charm! Here’s a link to my proposal video.

Thanks again, everyone!

Is there an easy way to batch process (crop) a few thousand images in Ps at the same time to fit a 1920×1080 frame? I shot all stills with a Canon t2i.

When you say ‘add lower thirds’ does that mean I can bring the cropped part of the images back in FCP?

Sorry I’m such a novice! This stuff is pretty complicated!

Will running them through PS help to maintain quality in Final Cut? I pretty much have the project finished in FCP 7, I just can’t get the quality that I’m looking for.

I have literally never worked in AE before, so it’s all very new to me. I have a Composition that has all of my footage and audio, I just need to add text. The quality of the images seems to keep in AE, I just have no clue what I’m doing beyond importing, interpreting, and dragging to the timeline.

The project I’m working on is a LEGO stop motion proposal video for my girlfriend which I’m planning on showing her tomorrow afternoon, so it’s getting to be crunch time!

Thanks so much for your time,

I used the other program before I bought QuickTime pro. At any rate, still having issues with the drop in quality once it’s in final cut. I shot a few thousand photos with a macro lens for a stop motion project, and the footage now looks terrible.

I haven’t actually posted anything on the FCP forum yet, probably a good idea!

I’m importing high quality jpegs taken with a Canon t2i (5184×3456) The frame rate needs to be 15fps. All I’m trying to do is create the best quality quicktime that I can transcode to Pro Res 422 and edit in Final Cut.

The photos are labeled in ascending order, but some numbers are missing, as I took the pictures in Lightroom with a tethered camera, and sometimes the flash didn’t fire.
