If you don’t want to create your own, feel free to download the 72 dpi action I created at the bottom of this post and follow along here to learn how to install it.

Your computer will thank you for using less pixels anyway.īefore prepping the slideshow’s images, be sure to set a Photoshop Action that resamples the image to 72 dpi. I’ll admit the frame size is conservative, but if I’m not delivering a 4k/6K/8K slideshow and don’t plan on punching into an image, then there’s no need for the jumbo size. I generally try to keep any still images I use in an edit to these specs: The better way is to do a little bit of upfront work on your images to avoid popping painkillers. I’m not saying it can’t be done, I’m just saying it’s a leading cause in headaches in editors.

It doesn’t matter if you’re working in Adobe Premiere, Avid, Final Cut Pro, DaVinici Resolve, or something else, most images straight out of a digital camera will cause your computer’s processor to go bananas if you try to edit with them because their dimensions and DPI (dots per inch) are gigantic.
