resizing jpg or tif image

PBS requires me to put the rating logo on our shows now. They sent me a tif image and after "Matching the output aspect" I can't get this logo small enough even after maximizing the pan crop. I've put the logo in photoshop and can't figure out there how to reduce it either. If I lower the pixels it still comes up too large when I put it in Vegas. I'm sure there's a simple answer but I've never run into this problem before.

Try using Track Motion, I think it would be simpler.

There's a simple answer. Send me the TIF. I'll scale it for you and 'splane it to you.

Pan/Crop to crop and pan an image...

Track Motion to resize and position an image...

Thanks very much. That's very kind of you. The forum won't let me upload the tif file but I converted it to a bitmap. It's a strange kind of file because although the extension said tif when I put it in photoshop it didn't have many save as options.

@Roger Bansemer

With a background screenshot from my local ABC station, I inserted your file into a track above the main track. using only Track Motion, I resized and positioned the PBS provided logo over the ABC logo in about the same location.

If I had to do this often, I'd just position the logo in a transparent PNG in Photoshop at the broadcast pixel dimensions and be done with it.

Thanks John, I had thought of doing the track motion but after having so very many tracks on the project I sort of didn't want to have another dedicated track just for that one clip. Your comment about the png file did trigger my resolve and that's what I did. Now I just have one PNG file which I can add to an existing track. Thanks John.
