Re: Photo Mosaic in Final cut express

It has to be the codec and resolution settings you're making. In othermwords, "pilot error". The larger and higher-rez your imaeg files are to start with, the smoother and better you can do zooms. Of course, make the files ridiculously large and you're just wasting drive space, past a certain image size. Thhe codec you edit in needs to be one that's more friendly to the higher rez as well. The DV codec is I think what Express defaults to, and this is not a graphics-friendly codec, with 4:1:1 compression.
