File video dimensions (width/height) too large - How can I fix this? PE 11

Question

Took the photos with a Canon T2i DSLR, but get that error message when I try to put them in my Timeline, how can I change the settings or resize the pictures so I can use them?

VDOSurfer,
The max pixel x pixel dimensions WAS 4096 x 4096, though with PrE 11, that might have been bumped up.
Now, and with that said, it only takes a very few max pixel x pixel Still Images to bring, even a powerful computer, to a crawl, or a crash.
As an example, I have several very large Projects w/ many thousand Still Images, though all are Scaled to match the Project Frame Size. For a test of something else (Photo Walls), I did a Project with 4000 x 4000 Still Images, and my workstation could handle four of them. With the fifth, I got a hang, or a crash. In that case, I took the Project into Adobe After Effects, and was able to do the work with 25 4000 x 4000 Stills, and had no issues. AE handles such things better, and differently, than either PrE, or PrPro does.
Even though PrPro, as of CS 5, can now handle larger Stills, and can also do a better job of Scaling, if one has the MPE hardware turned ON, with a proper CUDA-capable card, there is still the issue of computer resources, when handling many large Still Images. It is better, than it once was, but with too many, or too many, that are too large, the computer can grind to a halt.
