Using Movie Edit Pro 16 my "movie" of digital photos looks terrible after exporting.

In MEP 13, I used to add digital photos to the movie by just dropping them in and adding music to create a slide show. I could export this to a movie file and create DVDs by loading these movie files into a project and then burn DVDs. Now that I'm on MEP 16, when I do this the exported movie looks awful. The picture resolution is terrible, the pixels are huge. I have tried exporting to mpeg and mpeg-4. I also tried Quicktime with a high resolution selection in the export options, but I got an error that that selection doesn't match the movie. I don't understand what all the options in the exporting function are for, so I was just using the default selections. Any ideas?

To me it sounds as if you are exporting the photos at a higher resolution than the original file; this will reduce quality bu pixiation.

This is also true if you try to take a 4:3 ration to 16:9 or SD (Standard Definition) to HD (High Definition) the image quality for SD is lower, therefore will have reduced quality in HD.

It is about the image size. if your images are 640 x 480 and you try exporting them out at 1024 x 768 then you will have pixilation that will render the exported file as bad quality. You cannot increase the export size without pixilation.
