What size for stills should be imported?

My stills are 2272 x 1704 jpegs (4:3 ratio).  SHould I reduce them or leave them at that size when I import?  I'm making slide shows for DVD.

I'm using Premiere 4.  My original presets were HD1080i 30 My video clip was 720 and my stills were both orginal from the camera and 1440x1080.
The way I burned Blu_ray onto DVD:  Share>Personal Computer>MPEG>HD1080i 30 (there are ten others to select from).    I created a folder on my desktop and then saved the project to it.  Then I burned this folder to my DVD using a third party burn program (Roxio).  The Video and stills were superb on my 52" HDTV.   The sound played also.  Menus did not work.  The DVD only played on my Playstation 3 Slim's  (PS3) Blu-Ray but would not play with my Samsung Blu-Ray or on my computer.  I got a PS3 originally because the reviews gave it the highest marks for BluRay.  PLus I got the added benefit of game playing.  It comes with a 120gb disk so I guess it handles files of all kinds better than a "straight" BluRay player.  I did not try the DVD disk on a regular DVD.  I'll try that and get back to you.  I doubt if it works.
When I selected HD1080i 30, it created 2 files.  M2T of around 239mb ( it was a short couple of minutes project test although I did a longer 10 minute version also).  The other file was a XMPSES of 551kb
I also tried the same procedure using Share of HD720i 30.  Three files were created.  mpg of 148mb (PRE3 says this is MPEG2);  XMPSES of 525kb and a third called XMP of 3kb.  Operation and procedures were the same.  The quality seem the same on the HDTV as the 1080i test althouh based on the size of the comparaive files, 1080i is "better".  Again, this only worked on my PS3 with sound but no menus.
If you can live without menus, and have a PS3, it seems to be cheap way to go.  I added a title page to the beginnering of my show to make up for the menu loss.   But of course it probably won't work on your freinds BluRay unless its PS3.  This seems to be a quick way to go until I get a BR burner.

  • What is theoptimal file size for stills, and dpi?

    what is theoptimal file size for stills, and dpi?

    In video dpi is not relevent. What counts in video is pixels. In FCP most recommendations I have seen is to size your stills so they have no more than 3 times the pixels in your project aspect ratio. For example if your project is 1280x720 then stills should be no more than 3 times the 1280x720. This allows you to crop the stills and still have good resolution. If no cropping is anticipated then they could be the same size as your project.

  • Photo Size for Still photography video

    I am currently using Premeire Pro CC.  What would be the best size of a still photo to use to  put together a still photo video?  I have be asked to do this and what size I would like the photos to save time on resizing?

    What size will the frame-size be on your timeline? From past experience, either produced at size or at multiples of that seem to work best, though not required. It's a bit quicker to work with if they have similar sizes, but you can set a sequence for a certain frame-size and also to match images to the sequence, so it automatically re-sized them. Of course, larger images do allow for pan & scan or simple choices of which part you do want to include.

  • What size for my ebook?

    I am creating an ebook and am wondering what size to make the pages. Someone suggested 6" by 8" in case people want to print it which makes sense, but I don't know if there are other factors, and what is standard.
    Any suggestions?

    Thank you so much for your reply! I just want to double check - and get your opinion, since I'm forever paranoid.  This quote is from Apple Support regards the memory for the build of my iMac:
    4GB (two 2GB) of 1333MHz DDR3 memory
    Configurable to 16GB, only at the Apple Online Store.
    But I don't have to worry about being confined to 4GB sticks - I can go ahead and install what I've bought? - Crucial 16GB Kit (8GBx2) DDR3 1333 MT/s (PC3-10600) CL9 SODIMM 204-Pin 1.35V/1.5V Notebook Memory Modules CT2CP102464BF1339
    Sorry - I've just had so many issues in the past, I want to just make sure I have bought the right memory.
    Thank you!

  • What size for postcard

    Hi there, I'm a newby here. I was wondering what size to choose if I want to make a (rectangular standard) postcard. Also, how to make a border. Thank you! Samantha

    The Post Office has a range for the postcard size:
    at least 3 1⁄2 inches high × 5 inches long and no more than 4 1⁄4 inches high × 6 inches long.
    Print borders get added in the Print module.

  • What size for a DVD on Plasma

    I am making a little animation in Motion which I am going to burn to DVD... What size would be the best? It's a 42" Plasma Screen... So is it 1024 x 576? or 720 x 576? I'm on PAL also...

    If you are making an animation to be played from a DVD player, then the only format you will render to will be 720x576 anamorphic (squashed horizontally). Create your original project in 1024x576 - 16x9 and render to 720x576 anamorphic. The screen will transform the image back to Widescreen 16x9.
    If you could find an HD player or play from a powerful enough laptop you could have a much nicer image quality as you could play a native HD screen height. (1280x720, or 1980x1080)

  • Maximum import file size for stills?

    I am getting an error importing stills that are large, about 6000 pixels wide. I wanted to zoom into the image in my 1920x1200 video... Couldn't find info on max image size... anyone know?
    thanks...

    Studio3D,
    I do a fair amount of work with stills in Premiere. I always plan the size necessary for the pans and re-size to exactly what is required, based on the Project's image dimensions. As I do not do any "random pans and zooms," (each is choreographed tightly) I do all of the re-sizing work in PS, before Import. However, with your hi-rez Project, you might well be pushing the limiting size in Premiere. You may have to step back, just a little, and tighten your pans to accommodate these limits.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
    PS I like the re-sizing algorithms in PS better than any I have worked with in PrP. Have not experimented with CS4, so I might change my tune, should they have changed their algorithms.

  • Image size for still images

    I've got a bunch of 300DPI 8x10 inch images I want to put into iMovie.
    Do I need to reduce file size or will iMovie reduce the size automaticlly?

  • What size for capturing?

    Hi,
    I'm going to create video podcast showing people how to use
    software.
    What capture size shall I use? Is 1024x768 too big? What do
    people normally use?

    Tough question. Software may or may not be compliant with 800
    X 600 sizeing. So you may lose buttons or similar features if the
    programmer did not comply with an 800 X 600 minimum.
    If you use Captivate 4 you have an opton for the new TOC
    feature and that makes everything wider than 800 X 600
    Recording larger and scaling down will cause some distortion,
    but you can play around with your resolutoin from Standard to
    Optimized and you may find that 8 bit is too grainy in any
    resolution with the Captivate quality settings.
    I usually record at 800 X 600 for internet speed.
    If you are serving this up in a LMS package, then the LMS
    itself will take up some room.
    I do some recording at 1024 X 768 and this is a MAX that is a
    bit too big in most cases because of the Tray area at the bottom of
    Windows. Lots of people have IE6 or IE7 and a list of their
    favorite links on the left. That means that your 1024 X 768
    presentation loses the left side to the Favorites bar and it seems
    that many people don't know to run this stuff at full screen (just
    press F11 in IE).
    So somewhere between 800 X 600 and 1024 X 768 is the way to
    go.
    You can size your application to fit inside the red Adobe
    rectangle prior to recording. You should try to be consistent in
    size as you do your demo presentations.
    If possible, try 800 X 600 first and then you can also try
    something that is 90% of 1024 X 768 and see if that works better.
    Another issue is 4:3 screens and 16:9 screens. As a business
    user, I am not a huge fan of 16:9 laptops, but it is fine on a 21"
    desktop monitor. You might want to account for 16:9 screens in your
    dimensions.
    Lets not forget about bandwidth. If it is playing on a
    corporate network, then you are fine. Lots of folks have high-speed
    access. I have not had any problems at 1024 X 768 (or shall I say
    90% of that).
    Hope this helps a bit.

  • What size for External HD for Time Machine?

    Hello. An Apple Support Tech suggested an external HD, twice the size of the internal for Time Machine backup. I presently have 1TB in the iMac and a 500GB Lacie--a long way from double! Do I need to rush out and get a 2TB one? Hope not due to the $$$!
    Comments would be appreciated. Cheers.

    A few additional points:
    You can use Time Machine to back up more than just your internal drive. If you have a FireWire drive that is also primary storage, you can set Time Machine to back up both the internal drive and external FireWire drive. So be sure to include data on any other drive that you may want to also back up, when determining the required size of the Time Machine drive
    You don't need to get a fast FireWire drive for use with Time Machine. A less expensive USB 2.0 drive works just fine. Capacity is more important than speed.
    You don't have to use the entire external drive for the Time Machine backup. If you get one that is larger than currently needed, you can partition it and use one partition for Time Machine. You don't even have to partition it. The volume used by Time Machine can also be used to store other data.
    You can exclude specific files and folders from being backed up. For example, if you use VMware Fusion or Parallels Desktop, you may want to exclude the virtual hard disk image files used by the virtual machines. Those files are huge and every time you run the virtual machine, those disk image files change, and therefore, Time Machine will save another copy. That will chew through your available Time Machine backup space really fast. Also, you may feel like there is no need to backup files in your Downloads folder (because you can always download those files again), so you can exclude it. So be sure to consider things you don't need to backup, when figuring out how large your Time Machine backup drive should be.

  • Menus images need to be what size for widescreen DVD?

    I am making a standard def DVD using HDV content and I would like to know what pixel size images I need for the widescreen menu?
    And my next question is if you know of any problems burning my own dual layer disc to have sent to a replicator rather than using DLT tape? Any quality or compatibility issues with this?

    Hi:
    I am making a standard def DVD using HDV content and I would like to know what pixel size images I need for the widescreen menu?
    No matter your video is HDV you have to author a SD DVD, right? The next info is taken from the DVDSP User Manual:
    Select the right size depending your project standard: PAL or NTSC.
    And my next question is if you know of any problems burning my own dual layer disc to have sent to a replicator rather than using DLT tape? Any quality or compatibility issues with this?
    I think the best is asking your replicator about that.
    Hope that helps !

  • 16:9 aspect ratio - what size for flvplayer window?

    I have a flvplayer component that plays a video that is in 16:9 aspect ratio. The window size is incorrect. How can I determine the correct player-window size?

    If your using raster graphics or are playing to the TV straight from your comp I would use the same pixel size as the TV. If your using vector graphics or encoding the output to a DVD for example, you should be able to use an exrapolation of the aspect ratio: 800X450 for example, then when you publish you need to choose the aspect ratio again in the encoder to output .mov or .avi for example.
    SDTV: 480i (NTSC, 720X480 split into two 240-line fields)
    SDTV: 576i (PAL, 720X576 split into two 288-line fields)
    EDTV: 480p (NTSC, 720X480
    EDTV: 576p (PAL, 720X576)
    HDTV: 720p (1280X720)
    HDTV: 1080i (1280X1080, 1440X1080, 1920X1080 split into two 540-line fields)
    HDTV: 1080p (1920X1080 progressive scan)

  • What size for Time Machine

    Hi, I am backing up my iMac to a WD Mybook with 500 Go space.
    The iMac hard drive has 235 Go on it right now.
    I have been backing up with TM since June and the Mybook is now full.
    Is this normal?
    I seem to remember before, TM did not take up so much space so quickly.
    Thanks.

    .. you might want to limit the folders that are included in the back-up. For instance, I only back-up my user folders. I do not back-up application or system folders. (I acknowledge TM only does incremental or "what's changed" back-ups.) You can accomplish this by selecting "exclude these files" in the TM setup on our Mac.
    That's not a good idea. Excluding system and application folders won't save much space (under about 10 gb), but it will make doing a full restore from your TM backups impossible.
    When your internal HD fails (and they all do, sooner or later), you'd have to first install the OS from your Install disc; set-up your users, configuration, network settings, etc.; migrate or restore your data; download and install the "combo" Software Update to bring your OS current; and reinstall any 3rd-party software (possibly having to re-enter license codes); then hope you didn't miss anything. Major hassle for minor space saving.

  • What size for OS/apps SSD and scratch disk SSD ?

    Hi !
    I need a SSD for my OS with the full CS6 Cloud and few others apps (but no games, pictures, songs or other personnal stuff),
    that's mean between 70 and 80Gb. So I think I'll need only a 128Gb for that.
    I also need a scratch disk, so despite I prefer a fast and large disk like the Barracuda 3Tb, I read it will be better to take a SSD.
    My workstation is a 6x core, with 64Gb RAM, and 6x HDD for projects, render and footage (4K R3D and 1080p PRORES).
    My questions are :
    1) OS/apps SSD :
    Even if I only need 80Gb (or a few more like 90Gb max) of storage, do I need to take more than 128Gb ?
    Is it possible that the OS fill my disk with lots of temporary files ?
    And the same for Photoshop, Premiere, After Effects or others apps ?
    I know those apps will use the scratch disk, but maybe others temporary files will be write on this OS/apps drive ?
    2) scratch disk SSD :
    Like I said, I prefer larger drives, but as I understood, SSD will be better for preview and temp files,
    and actually I'm working with 4K R3D footages and 1080p PRORES.
    So do you think 128Gb will be enough for a scratch disk, to use with CS6, Blackmagic Resolve, and others 3D apps, like Maya ?
    Of course I can empty them regularly.............. but is it enough ? Or 256Gb, or higher will be better ?
    Or just a fast WD Velociraptor 1Tb or even a cheaper Barracuda 3Tb hard drive will be good enough ?
    Thanks guys.

    Thanks for your fast reply.
    But, I'm confused.... if the OS and the apps can fill my disk with lots of temp files, how a 128Gb can be enough ??
    Maybe you mean that those apps will fill the SSD with "hidden" files, but not reach the limit of 128Gb ?
    About Windows, I didn't knew I could make a scratch disk only for this temp files.
    Do I have to put the Windows temp files in the scratch disk also ?
    And you don't think a Velociraptor with 1Tb will be a good solution between the speed of a SSD and the size of a HDD ?
    My drives (alone or in RAID 0) are directly connected from the motherboard P9X79 PRO, trought the X79 chipset, and the Marvell chipset.
    But I read that the Marvell chipset has only 500Mb/s in total bandwitch divided between the 2 drives..... I'm not really sure....
    but even if it's true, I don't think the OS/apps will take a lot of bandwitch (except when I'll start an apps),
    and it will surelly let the full bandwitch for the scratch disk. Don't you think ?
    4 drives are connected to the X79 chipset :
    - 1x SATA 6Gb/s - Barracuda 3Tb (projects)
    - 1x SATA 6Gb/s - Barracuda 3Tb (renders)
    - 2x SATA 3Gb/s / RAID 0 - Barracuda 3Tb (footages)
    - 2x SATA 3Gb/s / RAID 0 - Barracuda 3Tb (footages)
    2 drives will be connected to the Marvell chipset :
    - 1x SATA 6Gb/s - SSD (OS/apps)
    - 1x SATA 6Gb/s - SSD or HDD (scratch disk for CS6 and other "video" apps)

  • What size iPhone 5 should I buy, 16 or 32?

    I am going to buy my first iPhone. I currently own an HTC Android (EVO 4G) and sometimes have to delete things but not always. I do have an iPad2, 32G that I do most of my work  on. I have a lot of files on the iPad The HTC is an  8 gig product with not a lot of music on it, the SD card has 2.7GB used and 4.76 GB free. while the phone has 369 MB used and 57 MB free. Question is does the memory on an Android, and similar applications, transfer over in terms of size on an iPhone thereby allowing me to just get a 16 gig iPhone5? Or do I need more? I probably will not use the iPhone for my music as I have a perfectly good iPod and I have about 200 photos on my current phone.  I really would like to save the $100 if possible especially if I do not need it.
    Thank you.

    You will be fine with the 16GB.  If you get it wrong, just buy more capacity next time.
