DPI is more a by-product than anything else when it comes to video display, because a standard NTSC video has the same resolution whether it's a 13" or 65" screen - It will never exceed 720x480. |

David is right, editing apps and AE are resolution independent. They just care about number o dots.
However, try to tell a client "I need 1200x1700 pixels" and they look at you like you are from mars. I just tell them at least 300 dpi. m |

File format?
When scanning images to import into my NLE which format should I save them in? I usually save in JPG... is this the best format to be using?
Thanks, Jeff |

I typically scan to a tiff file only because it's a lossless format. Jpegs are compressed and detail is lost in that process. Now, for some video applications, you would never notice the difference between a good jpeg and a tiff file, but I've always been one to save in a lossless format when file size doesn't matter.

Some NLE's don't like tif's as well as other formats. PNG and PSD are usually good formats as well.

Really? Tiff is such a standard format, it seems odd that any modern nle wouldn't like them. I use FCP and it handles tiffs very well.
Regardless, png and psd formats are lossless and perfectly fine to use as well. And psd's can be more flexible if the nle allows the layers to import. Dan |

While digital pics are becoming more standard, it'll be some time before scanning is obsolete. (In my backyard anyway). |

For anyone who might not know, Photoshop CS has a great feature that after the scan, you can tell it to crop each photo as well as straighten any that are crooked. The command is: File -> Automate -> Crop & Straighten Photos Usually it's pretty accurate and is a real time saver when you're doing a big batch. |
