I will start a project soon that will incorporate a lot of stills to be used enentually at both SD and HD. One limitation I have is that I only have an SD monitor and not a good one at that. So for now I have to the best I can using my computer monitor and tv (SD), which is why I want to at least get the procedure right in the first place..........
A few questions would be:
-the stills are high quality RAW files ~ 2600x1900 - would it be advantageous to work at one of the HD project settings keeping the files at their original rez (some panning & zooming required as well as fades, dissolves etc.) - my guess is that this has to be useful for the HD output (???)
-but what about the SD output - are their artifacts in downrezing or zooming to fit the standard tv screen? or is it preferable to do the downrezing in Photoshop first?
-and for each of the two outputs how best to deal with interlacing issues if any....
In general - any comments on how to deal with these stills in Vegas (and/or Photoshop) to get the optimum output for either SD or HD would be most welcome.
