Hi Ryan,

Convert the EPS to an appropriately-sized bitmap graphic format before sending it to the video editor.

Cheers,

I've been asked to create music examples that will appear in a DVD. Video editors measure in pixels; Finale users measure in EVPUS, spaces, inches, points, picas, or centimeters.

Is there an accurate conversion between pixels and any of the measurement units used by Finale?

I realize it has to do with my screen resolution and size (24" iMac currently at 1920x1200 resolution).

I'm supplying the video editor with EPS files. I could arbitrarily choose the dimensions and the staff reduction size. But, when the video editor takes the EPS file and adjusts the dimensions to fit the available space, he or she may only adjust the horizontal dimensions, altering the aspect ratio of the EPS image, thereby making the music look like it's being viewed through a fun-house mirror!

Any idea what I would need to do to supply a good looking music example when the video editor says i have X-by-Y amount of pixels to fit music into?

Thanks

P.S. Finale Tech Support didn't have an answer for me.
