Pixelated Stills When Too Many

Pixelated Stills When Too Many

Postby kathyconnolly » Wed Jun 06, 2012 10:11 am

Hi. I am making a very extensive slideshow, but I have realized that the more still I have, the worse their quality is. What I want to know before I delete my work is, does this result from having the pix in the actual slideshow and/or in your project? Meaning, if I delete them from the timeline, will it still be fuzzy if they're in the project window? How many pictures is too many? I already batched a group into a movie and saved it as an mpg which helped.

I'm sure this doesn't make any sense at all. :-8

First, ensure all of the photos you use are no larger than 1000x750 pixels in size.

Then, be sure to render your timeline (press Enter) whenever you add a photo or there are red lines above the clips in your movie. When rendered (the red lines will turn green) your still should look great, no matter how many you add to your project.

I use a lot larger photos now in version 10 without any problems, 2000 x 1500 minimum for Blu Ray and High Def Projects for sure. As Steve says, Rendering the timeline should solve your problem with the quality. Even if the quality looks bad in the project and you have not rendered, if you export the project to a file or DVD the images should still look good in the finished product (DVD or Video File). So you don't have to render if you don't want to, just know that the quality will not look as good in your project if you don't but the end result will still be fine :)
