An image's resolution is a tough thing to correct for. Low resolution in an original image - most of the time can not be made into a high resolution image. Image Programs (I use GIMP - I'm sure PhotoShop too probably) have some features that can help 'sharpen' a blurred picture - such as trying to expand a 4x6 to a larger size ... then applying some sort of 'sharpness' filter, etc...
But I've found you can only do so much with these things.
The source/original picture has to have high resolution if you want it to be THAT good.
You have to experiment for yourself and determine how much enlargement and application of a 'sharpness' filter is satisfactory for you own preferences.

I did some 'voice-over' on a project last Summer - voice over music in the background. I found that I had to tweak the audio levels to get them just right - at least to the way that I wanted.
I am not aware of any automatic settings or features that will do this as your personal choice, as far as how much louder than the background music you want your narration to be, is just that - your personal preference. Could and most likely is different for almost everyone.
It's not hard to adjust though. Does take a little more work but... I didn't think it was that big a deal. Large project... well then it becomes more work.

You'll find that the more patience you have for such things should yield better results.
Just saying....

Always pretty nice to have discovered one's own issue and resolve it... isn't it nice? 
If you could go back to your initial post and edit the subject line and add something like 'SOLVED - PD14 ' added to your original subject text.... that would be great!

William - this thread is really old with the exception of your last post and the previous one from last November.
Best to start another thread and describe your problem in detail ... k?

Are you sure you INSERTED a background image IN TO the Title Designer to actually have one there?
I notice in the second attachment that the 'delete background' is NOT lit up or selectable. This makes me think you do not have a background inserted - and the main timeline clip or image is showing through when you view in the main editing room.
So make sure you inserted one and save it before exiting.

Can you provide a screen shot so we could see what you are talking about?
Are you in the Title Room... creating a 'Title Page' ... or.. some text when you say you do not see your background?

So have you gotten into (after selecting the clip) and used the 'Crop Video' in Power Tools - is THAT what you are saying and this does NOT do what you want it to do - is this correct?
Elaborate - what you mean when you say 'an overlayed video' please.

Not sure what you mean by 'combine scenes in the library' but.... have you right clicked on a clip in the timeline and tried Content Aware Editing?
Does this address your issue?

You no doubt know that you can create a custom profile in the Produce section of PD - but not the Disc Creation section. But I am guessing this is NOT what you are talking about?
I'm trying to understand why we are not given the ability to create a custom profile in the Disc Creation section. What fundamental bit of information am I not realizing?

I second that Longedge... I have 'seen' an old Pinnacle file on here for a while.. just deleted it recently and everything 'seems' to be fine in PD. ( I thought it was a 'shared' file between the two editors)

What is it that you want the Title Designer - the text .. what do you want it to do? or not do?
If you want the starting text 'effect' to be immediately followed by the ending 'effect' (it's actually call a motion here in Title Designer) - then drag the starting effect slider and ending slider toward each other. If the overall image or clip length is to long then... go into that clip/image and shorten it's duration (out in the timeline back in the editing room).
(if this paragraph is ANYTHING like what you want - great - but maybe you could share with us a bit more as far as what you are trying to achieve)

If you are satisfied with your result....... Go back to your first post and edit the subject line - add 'Solved - PD14 - ' (or something like this) to the subject line and that will alert everyone this is resolved.

Glad you worked it out.
Could you go back to your first post in this thread and edit the subject line - maybe add something like 'PD - (and whatever version you are using 12 - 13- 14) - and then SOLVED' ... that would be great!
Thanks

Like Longedge says, isn't the background oin a title page already transparent? If it is not, don't we have to 'put something there' (like a color board or something) for it to NOT be transparent?

On 'first read through' I thought you, 'Zepher' wanted a little more on the 'how to' change out a clip/image. Thus my info. Dafydd and Tony have responded though - I think more to what you are looking for perhaps.
Good luck and let us know if this helped.

10.. . in this last one Barry... shessssh....... sighs.. I don't know if I'll see Barry for a few days after that 'PD8' usage........sighs.. Neil... can you STOP saying PD8 please...... you're going to kill Barry with alcohol poisoning...

Neil.. I don't think I've ever had 'PD8'.... (THAT's for YOU Barry.. lmao). I've got PD12 and pd13 on this computer so I can not relate to whatever PD8 does or may do Neil.
But this thread has to do with "picking file format for production".... so...

Either do what Dafydd says or.... consider this -
When you go to change an image or clip - note the image or clip length of time it takes up in the timeline. I think if you go into clip attributes (set duration) you would see the time-duration of the clip/image. Also note the transition duration(after selecting the transition and going into the transition settings window) - on both ends of the image/clip.
Delete the image/clip and pull a new one down into the same spot - obviously the new image/clip has to be the same duration as the one you just deleted. 'Re-introduce' the transitions at the beginning and end of the clip/image making sure the duration of the transitions are the same as those that you just removed when you deleted the targeted image/clip.
Is this what you are asking about? I don't know of any easier way to do this to multiple clips at the same time - just one at a time.
