Resolution Problem with Pan/Zoom (X8)

Post by bpremium »

Hello,

i have the following problem. If i use the Pan/zoom function on highres pictures the resolution gets very bad anyway (screenshot 1). Altough the pictures resolution is big enough. If i use other software for zooming it is sufficient (screenshot 2)!

I tried already with other filetypes (TIF, BMP, PNG instead of JPEG)
What do i wrong?

Irfanview is a photo editor, VS is video.
What resolution is irfanview working in and what is VS?

hey, thank you for your answer but i think i didnt get it!? Do you mean the VS project resolution? It is at 3840 x 2160 pixels, how do i check this on Irfan view?

Or did you just want to tell me that it will not work?

thanks

I think i will use this workaround: i made a extract of the zoomed map with irfanview und than cross-fade to that steady picture.

if you have an other idea, pls let me know

Hi

There were some tests done with earlier versions of video studio, zooming to a map was particularly hard to retain full quality. The text seemed to suffer a lot.
The preview screen displays at 1920 x 1080 so adding a larger image is not gonna display all its pixels / resolution, but does help a little when zooming in.
The latest version of VS will allow for a larger video resolution, what are you intending to create, rendering the video to 4K or HD 1920?

Interestingly from F6 Preferences – Edit tab deselecting Apply anti-flickering filter seemed to help retain a little more quality, quite critical when viewing the difference.

My best solution, the same as your approach, create a high quality image of the area, start the zoom and at about 80% crossfade to the new image.
With a little practice I was able to get a good transition.
