Making an image for Video Editing, what resolution fills a normal television's screen?

[erikiksaz]

...a normal tv, nothing special. I'm just using Paintshop to create and image and need to know the resolution before i start making something. Thanks

 

[snik]

352x240

 

[erikiksaz]

And it asks for the resolution. THAT part has always confused me, what should i put?

snik already told you its 352x240

 

[erikiksaz]

nono, it asks for the Width, Height, AND the resolution (pixels per inch, which i guess is DPI)

erikiksaz,

Let's clear it Were you being sarcastic because I said something obvious or did you really thank me?

Good, good :Q As for the "other" resolution leave it a 72 dpi/pixels per inch

Assuming a 4:3 NTSC TV 720*480 w/72dpi will be fine, but it might like a little distorted unless you adjust for the whole square pixel/non-square pixel problem.

640x480 is the stand resolution for TV. 72 dpi should be fine.

 

[erikiksaz]

3 conflicting POVs, strange indeed! I think i'll make a pic for each size and i'll get back to all of you

 

[yobarman]

well it's definately 640x480 because it's a 4:3 ratio on the TV. I know 720 x 480 is also doable but I can't remember what it's for. I should really know this stuff seeing how i'm majoring in it

720*xxx is 4:3 NTSC Standard Def. I have the xxx because different formats have slightly different values, but you can't go wrong w/720*480.

erikiksaz, I would post how to adjust for the square/non-square pixels problem but PS has pampered w/it's presets so I can't remember how to do it manually. Have no fear though the distortion isn't too bad. I take that back, if you make the graphic 720*534 it shouldn't look distorted when viewed on your TV.
