1. Re: maximum import file size for stills?
bojesen Mar 13, 2009 1:31 PM (in response to (studio3d))You could downsize and/or crop to relevant project pixel size in Photoshop. Don't understand "...to zoom into the image ..... -
2. Re: maximum import file size for stills?
Jim_Simon Mar 13, 2009 1:35 PM (in response to (studio3d))I believe 4012 x 4012 is the max for Premiere, but even then issues have been reported. Less than 2000 seems to be a magic number for workability. -

I was hoping to do a high def video where I could zoom in (scale up) images without losing resolution. Looks like I may have to do the clip in another video software! (After Effects?) 2000 pixels doesn't do me much good in a 2k video! I'll try making the images smaller (4k) and see how it goes... -

5. Re: maximum import file size for stills?
bojesen Mar 13, 2009 2:33 PM (in response to (studio3d))Please excuse my ignorance, but what would be the benefit of importing stills 4000 pixels wide if the project is say 1920 wide? In my world it would be better to do the cropping in photoshop and - if needed - add pixels there.
i 2000 pixels doesn't do me much good in a 2k video!
What does this mean, please? -

Because you can pan and zoom on the image without losing resolution if the image is much larger to begin with. -

Do you know what the "Ken Burns effect" is?
One can pan across a still or zoom in or out of it to give a still image some movement. It is rare to see a still image actually still in any video, in fact now they are cutting them up to get a 3D effect when they zoom! -

bojesen Mar 13, 2009 11:00 PM (in response to (studio3d))Interesting - I've been a stills photographer for 40 years and am only two years into video - thank you for the explanations. I'll certainly "contact mr. Burns. -
9. Re: maximum import file size for stills?
the_wine_snob Mar 14, 2009 7:17 AM (in response to (studio3d))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. -

Thanks. This is my first HD project, I figured the bigger the source material the better. I like to try things "on the fly" rather than plan everything ahead of time.
