i am going to be scanning some photos for a friend of mine who shot a music video. this video will be on MTV, BET, Etc., so it will be set up for broadcast. ive done some stuff in the past, but it was a long time ago. here is what i remeber:
72 dpi 640x480 PICT file.
anything else i need to know? if he is planning on zooming in, does the image need to be larger? also, is there any TV safe cropping i need to keep in mind?
thanks!

images can start out 640 by 480 or 720 by 540 either way stretch you final image to 720 by 486 since television pixels are rectangular not square, in photoshop your image will seem pulled from the sides, but when your looking @ it in Avid it will be perfect. action safe is 90% of your image and title safe is 80%

thanks. i visit here everyday, but rarely post. i thought this was a forum to help each other out, entertain, and just hang, not to insult or try to be funny when someone ask for a little help. thanks to all who helped.

I have done images at 720x540 at 72 dpi before with no zooming.
i have also done them at 300dpi if i wanted to zoom in on them. i just use them at a smaller size them enlarge to 100% or whatever your zoom factor is.
