How about JPG/PNG sequence... That should work.

How about JPG/PNG sequence... That should work.

It didn't make much difference for me, I rendered out to a png sequence and whenever I started the rendering from within the AS user interface, it resulted in output comparable to the output shown earlier in the thread. Rendering through the command line worked fine though.

Thanks to everyone who commented, I've got it under control now. I couldn't get command line rendering to work, but I reduced the file size on all of my images in a batch process to 300dpi and now everything is fine.

It's hard to get used to how low-res working with video is after all the years of editing photos and artwork.

Thanks again!

Don't let yourself get confused with the mere dpi number. Since you work for screen, you should make it a habit of measuring all dimensions in pixels. So if your project is in PAL TV format (768 x 576px), none of your bitmap art should exceed 1000px in any dimension. The only exception is stuff used for extreme zoom-ins, this of course needs to have the dimensions for the zoom-in state.

Got it. Thanks!
