Graphics guidelines for HD projects
Creating graphics and still images for high-definition (HD) video projects follows the same
process as for standard-definition video. Full-raster high-definition video formats use square
pixels. You don’t have to worry about adjusting high-definition image dimensions before
importing your graphics into Motion. To determine the image dimensions for your sequence,
follow the guidelines below.
Sequence preset Still image dimensions
1080i 1920 horizontal x 1080 vertical
720p 1280 horizontal x 720 vertical
Graphics guidelines for 2K and 4K projects
Graphics and animations intended for digital cinema or film distribution are often created at 2K
or 4K resolution, depending on how a project is mastered. Both 2K and 4K resolutions are square-
pixel, progressive-frame formats, typically with a frame rate of 24 fps. To determine the image
dimensions for your sequence, follow the guidelines below.
Sequence preset Still image dimensions
4K 4096 horizontal x 2160 vertical
2K 2048 horizontal x 1080 vertical
