Two Questions ... V5

1. (a) I've been pumping out square pixel projects for the web/computer for years. In the Render As dialog box, I just noticed the "interleave every X seconds" checkmark. My template is all progressive. Why is this always checked by default? Should it be on or off? My stuff will never see an NTSC signal.

1. (b) Same thing as above but this time it's the "deinterlace method". Shouldn't that be set to "none" for these types of projects? Frankly, I've left these settings as per the default multi-media template and I've not had a problem but I gots ta know so I can tell my grandkids about the wonders of life.


2. I Pan and Zoom on stills. Thank you, no need for applause. Output is, say 600 by 300. Because I wanna zoom in, the source pic is 1200 by 600 because "they" say you should double the resolution if you're gonna Zoom in BUT these sizes I mentioned are not really "double" if you count the pixels of each (I started doing this and my eyes got sore) but they're really quadruple or something like that, right? The question is what size above the 600 by 300 is adequate for general Zooming In without clogging the works?

TIA for any input into these queries ...

On number 2 you've got your math right but what people mean when they say to double the size is "double the dimensions"

If you're going to count the pixels you really need to zoom in or you'll put your eyes out. I lose count and find in helps to place a sharpie mark on the screen every ten pixels.

rmack350 ...

Thanks for that ... now it only leaves me wondering about that "de-interlace" thing ... if the output is progressive, why should this be checked as "blend" as a default? ... shouldn't it be "none"..? ... thanks again ..

" ... sharpie mark on the screen ..." HAHAHAHAHaaaaaa ...
