Hi,
This may have been addressed before but I can't find reference to it.
I have various bitmap editors and graphic programs at my disposal to create
backgrounds.
My question is what size should I create the backgound for a HD high quality image
used for background without getting pixelation?

This is easy.

Maximum size for HD video is 1920 x 1080 pixels. So you make your backgrounds that size.

Unless you are doing standard definition only. then the size is 720 x 480 pixels for NTSC. Pal size is a little different. 720 x 576 pixels. Carl312: Windows 10 64-bit 8 GB RAM,AMD Phenom II X4 965 3.4 GHz,ATI Radeon HD 5770 1GB,240GB SSD,two 1TB HDs.

Thank you.
I created some at 1920x 720 getting my relationships mixed I guess. They came out not quite as clear as I would have liked.
I guess also that if you create the 'production' and preview on a 24" computer monitor the display won't be the same as actually viewing them on a regular HD TV using a DVd player?

P.S. Thanks again
