CS5 Premiere Pro - Mac: Image of Text Degrades When Scale Up (Zoom In)
Video My Life Jan 19, 2014 1:07 PMGood day. I am given .pdf image files of text to use with my AVCHD video in creating projects to be exported to YouTube and DVD. My CS5 project will not import .pdf files so I have saved them as .tiff, .png, and .jpeg. In each case, the text within the image asset is very small and not legible when imported to fit the screen. So, I use the "Effect Controls" panel to scale up (zoom in) to various areas of the image in order to call out the most relevant text. The result is the text is extremely blurry and virtually unreadable; nothing I would ever publish. Here are the particulars:
