Image File Resize Parameters

Input Image

Determines whether a single frame is converted (Single Frame), or an entire animation is converted (Sequence). If Input Image is Sequence, then the From, To, and By parameters become available. The default setting is Single Frame.

Input Image Type

The format of the source image file: Mask, Image, or Image and Mask. The default setting is Image.

Output Image Size

The size of the output image file. You can specify the Output Image Size using either Standard Sizes or a custom size (Size - X, Y).

Standard Sizes

Lets you specify the size of the output image file by selecting one of eight predefined formats: NTSC, Pal, 4:2:2, Slide, Academy, Full Cine, Abekas NTSC, or Abekas Pal. The default setting is NTSC.

Size - X, Y

Lets you specify the size of the output image file by entering X and Y values (see Predefined Resolutions on page 416 for a list of common image resolutions). The slider range is 1 to 100. The default value is 645 for X and 486 for Y (NTSC resolution).

From Frame, To Frame, By Frame

The first frame (From Frame), last frame (To Frame), and frame increment (By Frame) of the animation to be converted. The frame number is appended to each file name. These parameters are only available if Input Image is Sequence. For example, if the From Frame value is 1, the To Frame value is 20, the By Frame value is 1, and the output file name is pixfile, then the actual output file names will be pixfile.1, pixfile.2, ..., pixfile.20. The slider range is 0 to 100 for From Frame, and 1 to 100 for To Frame and By Frame. The default value is 1.
