How do I prepare images for video?

To prepare your images for video, follow these helpful hints.

  1. Set the size of the graphic to the correct dimensions (720X480).
  2. Image content (text, pictures, etc.) should stay within the video safe area of the background which is 640X400.
  3. Avoid the use of fine lines, as they may be lost or will display a distorted image when played through a television monitor.
  4. Make sure to keep all text at least 21 pts or larger.
  5. Avoid the following colours: bright reds, yellows and whites.
  6. Use NTSC (Broadcast) Safe Colors.
  7. Save the file as a Targa file (.tga) at 24 bits of resolution.
