Pictures losing significant detail when rendered as a video

[Sine Nomine]

I am trying to make a video using a very long picture, like a long panorama, and cause the video to pan from one end to another. The source picture is of reasonable quality and when zoomed shows relatively fine detail.
This is the source picture at this link

You can zoom in on it to verify that it is reasonable quality

and this is the result after making a 1920 x 1080 30fps as played in a video player is this link

The lack of detail is not in the original picture, It seems VideoStudio (v10) is stripping or optimising the picture inside the program, and I can't see anywhere to reduce or switch it of.

All I want to do is to pan from one end of the image to the other. This is experimental, if I can get it operational, I will want to do longer images.

Thanks for any pointers you can show me.

Interesting ,
Looks as that image is beyond VS limit.
I halved the image it was better but still not fine
So I halved the half and it was much better now.
So 4 quarters will be the first workaround option.

Hi
Unfortunately the program uses a project having say 1920 x 1080 for a HD video.
Adding an image can only display 1920 x 1080, that effectively strips the original image of pixels.
If you were to cut your image into sections at 1920 x 1080 each would display in full, well! as good as images get. That is what asik is basically doing, but would use 14 images, your original is very long.

However I tried using Customise Motion with reasonable results.
Place the image on the overlay track so the whole image is in view.
Set its duration to 30 seconds ish

Right click the clip and choose Customise Motion
Set Size to 400
Set position for keyframe 1 to 500
Right click Keyframe 1 (the red one) for Copy to all
Select keyframe 2 (to the right)
Set position to -500 (simply add a - minus symbol
Play the effect.

I also set a pause of 2 sec for each full screen
Attached is a VSP, you will have to re-link to your image file “Example.jpg”

This is a known issue with VS, see http://forum.corel.com/EN/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=60291 which includes the workaround that I was forced to use.
