Adding Images

Lexi_S

I’ve been trying to make a video with VideoPad for a couple days now. It’s very simple, one photo and an audio that lasts a little over ten minutes. I click *add files then put in my photo. But every time I do it’s incredibly blurry. I’ve tried different sizes but nothing works. I’m getting incredibly frustrated and stressed and have no idea what to do. How can I add photos and have them stay clear and high quality? Please help, I’d really appreciate it! Thank you!

What is the resolution of your photo? i.e. How many pixels across and how many down? (In general the image ought to be as high a resolution as possible.) The export setting should reflect that resolution.

Hi Nat! The biggest image I used was 6” by 4” but it was still pretty blurry

Let's take a look at the photo. It's easy...

Upload the image to Dropbox, Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, etc. Copy (share) the URL and paste it into your post here.

🙂 6" x 4" is not very useful in this context as it is a size measured on paper.

You need to use a digital image measurement. e.g. 1920 x 1080 pixels (2 Megabyte image) or 4480 x 2520 pixels (11 Mb image ) etc. The higher the resolution in Mb the clearer the image will be.

You will have your image in the image clip bin.....Right click it and then at the bottom of the list click Properties. Check what values you have against Dimensions. This will give us an idea of what size of image you are trying to use.

How did you get the image you are using?

The image is a drawing I made in a program called ProCreate

Hi Lexi

I can see why you indicated 6" x 4" now. 🙂 Either upload your image file as Borate has suggested and someone can check it out or open your project again and right click the image in the clip bin and then click Properties. You can then post the dimensions shown there which will also be helpful.
