  <body>OK, this is a sidebar to the two main threads on pricing and software: I am working in iMovie.  Music and voiceover narration are nicely synched, sequence of images is just right -- but the images on the screen all look rather pixelated along all the diagonal edges.  So how does one optimize the JPG for the multimedia story?  I am using low res files -- 100 dpi -- sized roughly at 8 by 10 or larger.  I tried a smaller file, roughly 6 by 4, and that looked terrible.  The bigger files definitely look better.  But I have played with  high res, low res, different parameters, and they all have the same jagged edges and even though I gave them some sharpening in PS, they still look a little soft.  So what does one do to get nice sharp looking images on these things without jagged edges?  Or does all that work itself out once you export to Quicktime or Flash or any of the other options?  I know that when you export the files are fitted into the standard video frame, but is there a step I am missing?</body>
