Re: [Avid-L2] Re: Avid Pan and Zoom - Zoom in Issues

You might also want to apply a slight blur to the file to help with
the artifacting as you zoom. I'd only do this if there were weird
artifacts during movement though.

I agree about Ken's DPI assessment. Once you are talking in pixels, a
pixel is a pixel. It's only when you're talking about inches (or some
other non-pixel measurement, like cm) that the dpi matters. And a 2K
file is very close to being standard HD video. 2K is 2048 horizontal
rez and HD is 1920. So you're talking about approx. 5% bigger.
Photoshop has much better resizing algorithms than Avid's Pan and Zoom
(I'm guessing). If you have Photoshop Extended, (or even After
Effects) it might be better to do the zoom in that than Avid. Or use
Boris RED.
