Question

Movie Menu Image Size

I am adding a Movie Menu, General, Faux Widescreen, when I go to create my clip in Photoshop elements what should my image size be to be compatible to the Main Menu 1 so that when I browse and select my photo clip it fills the main menu screen? How do I estimate that for future projects? I have tried different settings but I cannot get my photo clip to fill the main menu screen. I am using PE 12 Thank you

Thanks for your help, it did not distort the picture, everything is going well. Have a great Holiday season!

I don't know what size your image used to be, so I don't know.

But if it didn't distort your picture, that may well be right.

Okay I have now done that and that fixed the problem, however when I went into the image size on Photoshop I had to "uncheck the constraint proportion" to put in the 1920x1080, it that to be expected? Thanks

It all depends on your video's Project Settings (which you'll find listed under the program's Edit menu, under Project Settings.)

For high-def project, use a photo that's the same size as the video frame: 1920x1080.

If you're editing a standard definition 720x480 video, you should use a 640x480 pixel photo for a 4:3 project and an 855x480 picture for a 16:9 project.
