Hi,

I have a bunch of pictures for which I have to make a video like we can do in iMovie and Fotomagico using the Ken Burns Effect etc. But I need to do it in HD.

I tried iMovie but during transitions the quality blocky and horrible. Also it seems to output interlaced HD movies and not progressive. Like the borders of the photos are too jagged when viewed in HD on a HD LCD TV.

Fotomagica Beta 1.4 supports HD but that too is not very stable and has wuality issues.

I tried FCP HD and the result was excellent. The video was not blocky and not jagged. But the process is too tiresome as I have to do everything manually.

Is there some other app that can handle HD and do what I need?

Thanks
