I'm creating a movie that will have a few still pictures in it.
I've browsed thru the newsgroup and I'm pretty confused.

I've got three pictures that are fuzzy. The others look ok.
I set them at 640 X 480 with a resolution of 300 in Adobe photoshop but they
still come out fuzzy when I see them using full screen view in Movie Maker.

What am I doing wrong??

Thanks,
Doug

Movie Maker's preview is not good quality on purpose as it is optimized for
quicker editing. make a movie and then judge the quality.

To save as movie, use menu File -> "Save MOVIE As"
or press key Ctrl-P
or use the "Save to my computer" under "Finish Movie" step on the left
hand task bar.

In the Save Movie wizard, first screen allows you to select a name for
the saved movie and the next screen is "Movie Settings". Click on "Show
more options..." and you will have all the different options to select for
size vs quality ratio.

OK, I did that and produced a DVD. The pix are still not as clear as they
should be..

Also, I went to your Website (looks good!)
Apparently you can give me some ideas on the other thing I posted today
"Scrolling List of Names."
Have you taken a look at that one??

Thanks,
Doug
