Very hi res world map?

Josh Bass · September 30th, 2005, 03:47 PM

Thanks for that tip. It totally worked.

Now, I'm having a weird issue. Seems like whatever I do in photoshop doesn't translate to Vegas.

Let's say I make a huge jpeg/gif/whatever, around 15000 pixels by same. I'm able to look at my Map real closely, let's say on the map, the state of Texas fills the viewing window in photoshop with no problem, looks clear, sharp, etc. Now, I take this file into Vegas, and for some reason, when I try to fill the frame the same way by enlarging my jpeg/gif/whatever, it gets all blocky.

I'm doing bad math somewhere, but I don't know where. Seems like if I have a 720 x 480 viewing window (Vegas), and an image that's 15000x15000, I should be able to enlarge that bastard quite a bit before it starts to block up, but it don't seem to be so.

Where's my error?

Use Pan/Crop instead of Track Motion. Track Motion zooms in on the Video Frame. Pan/Crop zooms in on the full resolution of the original image.

Ah. I'll try it. I actually didn't use either, I was using PluginPaC LE. I guess it must do the same thing as track motion.

Thanks.

Yes, I believe the PlugInPac uses the video frame. Definitely use Pan/Crop instead.

Sweet. I'll get all up in it later.
