I recently created a company training video (HD format) that uses PowerPoint slides on screen. The PPT slides had their default 8.5x11 format, so the resulting JPEG images caused "letter boxing" on the sides of the screen.
I then saved the PPT slides as TIFF files and used PSE9 to resize to 1000 x 700, but the quality on screen wasn't much improved. (I have Steve's PRE7 book at home and I couldn't remember the exact dimensions for optimal resizing, so 1000 x 700 may be incorrect.)
How do I create a PPT slide that:
- is formatted for 16:9 widescreen but doesn't look stretched?
- has sufficiently high quality that it will look good in a HD movie?
Thanks!
