Image Sizes for Premiere

[blackvipers]

I have scanned some old photos in Jpeg format. But when I try to import them into Premiere Pro 1.5, it would say my image file is too large. I have tried to resize them in Photoshop in various sizes but nothing seems to work.
It appeared this is only an issue with scanned photos and not pics taken with my digital cameras.

Thanks

Within Photoshop, if you right click on the blue bar above the image, then scroll down to "image size", what is the status??

By default Premiere seems to likes 640x480 @ 72dpi. That's what I've been importing for years into every editing program I've ever used and it works fine. Seems like a very low resolution, but remember that analog TV is low resolution anyway. Also remember that the TV will overscan (cut off the edges of the picture), so you may want to put a black frame around the outside of the images as well to function as a buffer.

For the heck of it you may want to check the help file to see what's mentioned there.

I wonder if the error message is referring to the file size and not the image resolution? Just a thought. I mention this because...

...I've imported JPEG images into Premiere Pro 1.5 with a resolution in the order of 2400 x 1800 with no problem. Premiere Pro retains the resolution but only displays a 720 x 480 / 576 (NTSC / PAL) portion of it that fits on the screen.

Premiere Pro supports images up to 4,000 x 4,000 pixels in thier native resolution. Great for panning and zooming. If you only want to display a static picture, crop them to 720 x 540 (NTSC) and allow for about 10% overscan for TV display.
