Mike Dean at O’Reilly shows how to create an engaging video for the large TV screen using your digital photographs and music files.
Suggestion 1: Use NTSC Safe for Television – “NTSC safe” is a slightly reduced color range (a.k.a. “color set” or “color space”) that looks good on TV sets. Non-NTSC-safe video looks really blown out and crunchy on TV. Suggestion 2: TV screens will stretch still images in video a little from what you see on your computer screen. If you want to compensate for this, crop your images to 720 x 540, and then uncheck the “constrain proportions” box in Photoshop’s resizing dialog (Image > Image Size) and squish to 720 x 480. Then it will look perfect on a TV. Suggestion 3: Using relatively large images — around 2,000 x 1,000 pixels — is good. Even though the video editing program resizes all NTSC-DV images to 720 x 480 pixels on output, you will probably want to do some cropping first to get more creative looks, and close cropping can look awesome, especially if you do a series of several closer crops on the same image. Throwing in a small image, like 300 x 200 pixels, can be a nice effect. It’s grainy in a computer-destroyed way that looks cool for an occasional accent. Link.
