Image size

If I use Photoshop to create an image that is 720 by 480 then drop that image into VV and view it in the preview window, I see black bars across the top and bottom of the window. The preview window says 720 by 480 (or 360 by 240) so I would assume that my image would fill the entire preview window. What am I missing here???

Thanks

Are you using a DV format? (File>Properties>Video tab; Template=NTSC DV or PAL DV) You may be interested in this info from the Vegas User Manual...

____________________________________________

Correcting images for DV pixel aspect ratios

For best results when importing still images into Vegas, create images that account for the pixel aspect ratio of your desired output format. Vegas does an good job stretching images to fit the output format, but some distortion occurs if the pixel aspect ratio for the source format does not match the destination format.

Use these figures as a guide when creating images:

Full frame, pixel-aspect-corrected still images for use in NTSC DV project are 655x480.

Full frame, pixel-aspect-corrected still images for use in PAL DV project are 787x576.
