Incorporating panoramic photograph

[tletter]

Hi,

I have a panoramic photograph (7264x1920) that I’d like to pan across and output in a 1920x1080 FHD video. To do this I add the photo to the video track and then use the ‘pan& zoom’ option to zoom in and avoid any black border (zoom ratio = 213%), and the pan feature to move across the photo.

While I’ve used this approach with other panoramic photographs, this photo looks terrible at in a 1920x1080 FHD video. It’s as if the photo’s resolution is ignored.

Is there something that I’m missing or is there a better approach?

Thanks.

Hi

Thanks for the sample image
There was a similar post here:

When inserting images to the timeline video studio seems to displays those images using the Project Properties frame size, at 1920 x 1080 for HD that can reduce the actual image quality.
Zooming in makes things worse, but the type of image does require that pan & zoom.

I feel the program should read the image data from the file and not the project settings.

You should contact Corel Support and explain your problem, they do need to know, unless users do that then things will not change.

Thanks for the information. I didn't realize that VS can't handle hi-res panoramic photographs. To address this VS shortcoming, I changed the res from 7264x1920 to 4086x1080 and VS stopped down-resing the photo.
