What resolution to scan photos for viewing in Premiere?

I am currently undertaking a documentary and will be using a lot of still photographs that I want to pan and zoom with.. I am scanning the photos at 400dpi and you can go in quite close in Photoshop with no distortion but in Premiere it has no resolution at all?? When I bump up the dpi to 1200 it says the image is too big to bring into Premiere... So before I go scanning my hundreds of photos I need to sort out this problem..
Probably something really simple but can anyone help me???

The max size for Premiere Pro is 4096X4096 if I remember correctly.
If you want to scan larger than that, you can pick the best part of the image and use Photoshop to scale it down.
Or, use After Effects to do the zoom in, since AE can handle 30,000X30,000 IIRC.
You might even find Photoshop Extended's timeline sufficient for zooming (although no "easy ease" is available to my knowledge).

What is the ideal configuration when scanning photos for iMovie?

When scanning photos to use in iMovie, what is the best dpi resolution? 72 dpi, 100 dpi, 150 dpi, 300 dpi?
What is the best print size? Scan it at 8 inches, 10 inches, 12 inches?
When saving to jpg, what quality is best to save at? 8, 10, 12?
Any help would be appreciated!

DPI (dots per inch) are only used when printing and iMovie will only look at the file dimensions.
But scanning images takes a lot of time and you may want to use the same images in other software so you should make the settings appropriate for future printing.
Scan (always in "landscape mode") using settings appropriate for printing (300 dpi) and sized for the largest prints you may want to make. TIFF is much less compressed than JPEG. Bring these files in iPhoto and export them out as JPEG sized at 640X480 for use in iMovie.

What is the ideal size and resolution of a photo for display on the iPad?

I'm finding no info on the size of a photo for the best possible display on the iPad. The screen is obviously much larger than iPod Touch or iPhone; photos sized for them are fuzzy on the iPad. Ideally, a photo should be sized for the exact number of pixels on the iPad screen. Can anyone help me here? Thanks!

This is done automatically via the iTunes sync/transfer process - photos are optimized for viewing on the iPad, and there is not an option to change the default optimization settings.

Best Size and Resolution to Scan Photos?

Hi, I need to create a photo slide show in iMovie. I would do it iPhoto but I need to able to time my music and add intermittent titles so I guess I'll need to use iMovie. I'm very new to iMovie and actually am used to editing on Avid and Media 100 (which I no longer have access to) so I'm a little scared! So, my question is - when I scan my photos what is the best size and resolution to scan them at for the best final results? It will be viewed on a TV from a DVD. Any other tips for a newbie also appreciated. Thanks so much! -Julie
p.s. I'm using iMovie HD but I'm on a G4 so don't have HD capabilites. Not sure if that matters.

Hi Julie: Look here:

No, that doesn't matter at all.

What resolution should my photos be in Premiere Elements?

Photos make great source files for a Premiere Elements project, but you’ll find the highest quality results and the best performance from the program if the sizes of your photos are properly optimized before you bring them into your project. We urge you to make sure that any photo you use (especially if you use several in a slideshow) has been resized to no larger than 1000x750 pixels before you bring it into your Premiere Elements project to ensure the best quality and optimal program performance. (Photos taken directly from digital cameras can be 20 to 25 times that size!)
At first this may seem to go contrary to common wisdom. Traditionally, the higher the resolution of your photo, the better the quality of the output. But remember that Premiere Elements is a video editing program, and video is a relatively low resolution medium (essentially the equivalent of 640x480 pixels). And, to a point, reducing the resolution of a photo or graphic to be used in a video actually improves the quality of the video output. (1000x750 pixels seems to be that point)
The reason for this has to do with a process called downsampling, the system a video program uses to bring high-resolution photos down to video size. Premiere Elements does a fair job of this – but, as any pro knows, nothing that happens automatically will be as clean or as efficient as what you do manually. “Down-rezzing” is definitely one of these things.
There’s also a more pressing reason for downsampling your photos yourself. The process of “down-rezzing”, like the process of assimilating non-DV-AVI files into a video project, is a very intensive process. So intensive, in fact, that it’s the single biggest reason Premiere Elements fails, particularly during the disc burning process.
It takes a lot longer for the program to down-rez a 4000x3000 pixel photo than it does a 1000x750 pixel photo. Many, many times longer. And would you rather wait an hour or two for the program to transcode your DVD or 10 hours for a process that might end up with the program choking and dying anyway?
Photoshop Elements, by the way, has a very nice batch resizing feature that can resize a whole folder full of photos in just a few clicks. You’ll find it under the program’s File drop-menu, listed as Process Multiple Files.
For high-definition video, you can increase the size of the photos to 2000x1500 -- although you should be aware that this will require much more processing time and computer power than standard definition video.

Rene,
For the ultimate viewing on an HD TV, one is best to do a BD Project and then burn to a BD (Blu-ray Disc). Going to any SD format, like DVD-Video will result in having the material up-rezed to fit. This will work to varying degrees of success, and will depend very heavily on the set-top player's uprezing capabilities, plus on the settings on the TV, as well. There WILL be quality compromises, when viewing and SD Project on an HD player and TV.
Even with HD Projects, one is best to size the still images as closely, as is possible, to the Frame Sizes in that Project's Preset, say to only a bit more than 1920 x 1080, if that is the Preset chosen for the HD (BD) Project. Here's a LINK to the accepted HD formats.
This ARTICLE will give tips on resizing of stills before Import. Now, the sizes listed are SD, but it's easy to "do the math" to get to a BD Project Preset size.
Good luck, and hope that this helps,
Hunt

What resolution are ipad photos? The ones you take with the iPad itself.

i'm trying to find out at what resolution ipad photos taken on the iPad are stored at. When I send them to myself and choose the largest size possible on the email, they are only 72 dpi. I thought there was an option for 300 dpi?
THanks!

I have a fourth generation iPad...I tried both email and direct download. The photos are largish - 26 inches in width but the dpi is 72. As far as I can tell, that' sustain how it is, I can't seem to find any solid info on it. Thanks for trying, I appreciate it

What happened to scanning software for the HP 3050A?

After scaning succesfully for 2 years from my HP 3050A to my Macbook Pro I got a "Scanning software for this printer is currently unavailable" message on my laptop today when I tryed to scan from my laptop. And when I press the "Scan" button on the printer it say "Computer not found" (even though it can find my computer quite nicely for print jobs). What happened? How can I get my scanning software back?
This question was solved.

Hi Yakatack and welcome to the HP forums!
I'm sorry to hear about your scanning woes with the Deskjet 3050a but I'd be happy to help once I've gathered a bit more information
1. Which version of Mac is on your computer?
1. a) Did you recently upgrade to said operating system?
2. Is the printer connected via USB or wireless?
3. Have there been any software changes/updates that you're aware of recently?
4. Are you able to scan through System Preferences, Image Capture or Preview at all?
If you have not recently upgraded your operating system or changed anything else on the computer, and the printer is wireless to the Mac, please power cycle your network. This entails turning off the printer and the Mac, pull the power cord on the router for 30 seconds and then when it's back up, turn everything else back on and try to scan once it all settles.
Hope to hear back from you soon

What resolution should i take for a movie to be played on 70X20 LED display?

I am working on an animated video that will be played on 70X20 Feet LED display. What resolution should i take?

size of the screen is 80640 X 23040 (in pixels)
You are going to need a monster to playback something like that. Are you sure? The max comp size in AE is 30,000 pixels. Your specs claim a requirement for 80,640 which is about 20 4K displays.
The data rate for a comp that is 42 times wider than HD would be crazy and probably require an array of high end server grade machines and fiber optics to push even 20 fps video through the system.
As I said before, you MUST contact the manufacturer for their exact media specifications.

What dpi to scan photos?

Am about to scan lots of still photos into iPhoto. My scanner has a default setting of 200 DPI. I can go higher or lower than 200 and recognise there is a trade between quality and size. What sizes do others use to scan photos? Any learnings or tips welcome.
Thank you.

What's your ultimate aim?
A rule of thumb is that printing requires 300 dpi, web use about 100.

What resolution do still photos have to be to be imported into FCP X

I am using stills in a video. What resolution and what dimensions do they have to be before importing them into FCP X?

SSpatial conform sets how the media is sized when placed in a project. The help files and manual will the explain the details.
Sill till images are not video. They need to be rendered for true video playback. Set playback to best quality rather than better performance.

WHAT RESOLUTION TO MAKE LOGOS FOR IMPORTING

Hi to all!
I'm not clear on something:
I have a custom logo made with fonts in CS2. When importing this to FCP 5.0.4, to overlay onto a scene -- do you put the logo with the fonts on a transparent layer, flatten it, and then save at what resolution and file type?
I take it a TIFF would work or a PNG....but what resolution? And the color space I assume is RGB?
many thanks!
-TEXASFLOOD

Resolution is meaningless in video. You can create your image in any application at any size you want. Just remember your video window is a set number of pixels.
Flatten your image in PS to a format that includes transparency.
Know that there are pixel aspect ratio issues. Photoshop creates square pixels, video is rectangular pixels.
:Large section in the FCP manual on getting stuff form Photoshop into FCP but I haven't used FCPv5 or CS2 for many years.

What's best Android app for viewing PSDs?

Other than the Adobe photoshop apps what is the best Android App for viewing .psd files? All the Adobe ones lock you into using the Creative Cloud which I don't want to use as I have my files on Google Drive.

Was able to scan photos for one person

I upgraded yesterday to iPhoto '09 and left my computer overnight while it scanned the images. After watching the tutorial, I began to develop my corkboard. I started with my granddaughter. I scanned a few pictures of her at different ages - newborn through 5 and then the process began. I started filtering out those photos that were not her and everything seemed to be going well. Although I felt like there were some other photos of her out there, I decided that I would go back and manually pull those in.
Then I did the same thing with my grandson. I selected several photos of him from newborn to age 7 and I'm still waiting for the spinning wheel to stop at the point where it says he 'may be in the photos below.' This went on for two hours or more.
I figures something wasn't right, so I re-booted and started the process again. Nothing! Zilch! Nada! I still have the same spinning wheel.
I did nothing to my computer. It just seemed to stop working. Although I know I have more pix of my grandson because he is older, the pix of my granddaughter were coming up faster than I could confirm them. Because I was easily able to pull in most pix of my granddaugher, I know this feature CAN work. However, I don't know what happened to cause this glitch. When someone has an answer, please post. I will check back often for feedback.
Thanks!

I don't understand the ONE AT A TIME lament, as it's pretty easy to email more than one at a time. Have you tried to and been unable or didn't know that you could?
As for no one receiving, well .... first, review how you're trying to do it and, as a check, email some to yourself. That will be a good first check.
