low quality of images after film export

Hello, I have a problem with the quality of the images in the exported video.
I created a several-minute movie from old shots from 20 years ago, which were 720x576 resolution. At the end of the video I wanted to throw in some photos taken
already with modern equipment, most of them in 2016x908 or 2160x3840 resolution. I have a huge problem with the quality of these photos after video export.
The photos are blurry, pixels are visible, it's hard to recognize faces (videos look ok). It doesn't matter what options I choose for video export: whether I set 4K or 720p - the pictures are of terrible quality. I've tried reducing the photos to 720x576 and it has no effect.
I suspect that the problem is the project settings, which have changed themselves to 720x576 and the program automatically brings the photos to such poor quality.
Has anyone encountered such a problem and can it be remedied somehow?

The first video file you drop on the timeline does set the project to that resolution

 

I have never done it, but I **think** that you may create a new project while in Expert mode to something that matches your pictures

 

That will, however, put your 'small' video in the center of a 'large' screen so your video won't fill the screen

 

I edit 1280x720 video from a Canon camera, and I resize my pictures before importing them so I don't see the problem you are having

SD is what it is, Standard Definition, as in 720x576. End of story.

Your modern images will be reduced to the standard as used in the Project settings.

 

The only way to get this fixed is upscaling your SD footage to 720p or maybe 1080p with a program called Topaz Video AI.

By doing so your project settings will now be of a higher resolution and so will the images on export.

Thank you very much for your tip. However, my project contains a lot of short videos and photos so upscalling all of them would took a lot of time, it's is almost impossible. 😞 I still hope that there's another solution for this problem

Nope as I said SD is SD, end of story.

You cannot make a stamp look good in billboard size or a billboard size image on a stamp.
