Specific to Premiere Elements Version 8.
by Bannon » Wed Jun 16, 2010 11:51 am
I understand that I'll be better off using Photoshop or Lightroom to downsize photos prior to using Premiere Elements 8 to create a slideshow and I'd like your thoughts on an ideal size. Specifically, it is my intent to create a 1920*1080 slideshow that uses the pan and Zoom template so should I downsize the photos to 1920*1080 or some larger size (e.g., 2554*1436) to account for the panning and zooming?
TIA

2000x1500 should be more than enough resolution for a hi-def slideshow, Bannon.
Though Premiere Elements does overload easily with files this size. So, depending on your system, you may want to work on this project in one or two minute segments -- at least until you know for sure the workflow works. (You can output each segment as an HDV-quality MPEG and combine them all in a project set up with an HDV preset.)
I'd hate to see you put weeks into something that stalls on rendering.

For best results, deselect "scale to frame size" for the stills you want to zoom. Also, you don't want to increase scaling beyond 100% so images that will be zoomed will need to be larger than your 1920x1080 framesize. Decide how much you want to zoom in and resize them appropriately.

I haven't had any problems with Premiere Elements choking in large images in a HDV project. Using large images in a standard NTSC DV project will cause problems depending on the sizes and how many. But as far as the HDV projects go this has not been a problem

Well no wonder, considering your system specs, Chuck!
But, as we always say, your mileage may vary. So always test drive before you commit to a huge project and then find out you can't make it go.
