Still Images - jpg or psd?
by Mike McMahon on Nov 7, 2009 at 1:05:52 am

For Premiere Pro CS3, is it smart to import still images as jpg files or as psd files?

Other tips on stills?

Thanks,

- Mike -

Psd of course. Jpeg is lossy
Very easy to re-edit from the timeline in PS even with layers.

Thanks, I agree on quality and editing easy.

Question: doesn't loading a project up with lots of psd files cause concerns with performance of Premiere (because of their large size, compared to jpg's)?

In books and manuals for Premiere, the issue of still image mgmt is rarely discussed...other than to remind users to avoid pixel dimensions that greatly exceed the frame dimensions of their specific project.
