Resizing photos for PAL Widescreen

Postby Checkmate » Fri Dec 14, 2007 7:55 pm

My brain's hurting trying to work this out! I have some 3008 x 2000 photos to include in a PAL widescreen 16x9 video, using Premiere Elements 4.. What should I crop and resize to, if I want a maximum 200% zoom, and to avoid pixelation? In other words, at 200% zoom the photos will be at 'actual' size.

To go to a maximum 200% zoom you would need for PAL Widescreen: 2048x1152

I use settings similar to those given by Paul when I want a really tight zoom that is going to remain on screen for more that a couple of seconds. Otherwise I normally use the 're-size' script in Photoshop CS3 to standardise all my pictures from the capture size of 3264x2448 down to 1000x720. At the reduced size they are still good for a zoom of about 200%+ before any degradation is visible on my PC monitor. That degradation is not visible on a TV unless you look really carefully.

As an aside I have used the maximum zoom of 600% without too much loss when viewed on a TV screen

My opinion: If you're going to be doing work on photos that large in order to do such extreme zooms, do this in separate mini-projects that last only a long enough for the effect or, at most, a minute or so. When you're done, use File/Export/Movie to export an AVI of the finished mini-movie and then import that file into your larger project.

This makes much better use of your computer's resources and will lessen the likelihood of program choke as you work.
