Selfmade HD video

Today I shot a couple of sequences of wakeboarders on the central lake in Almere and though, that I should be able to create a short high definition video from those images, since the original resolution of the Nikon D200 is 3872×2592 pixel.

I used a Photoshop action to crop and resize the images to 1280×720 pixel, which is the 720p resolution, a common HD format. With Quicktime Pro I imported all 69 images and created a movie with 6 frames per second (the D200 probably shot +/- 5 frames per second), resulting in a clip of 11 seconds. The Wide Time effect of Apple’s Motion software was used to create transitions between the individual frames.
