When I scan an image to use in Premiere, what format should it be in?
JPG?
GIF?
BMP
TIF?

Seems if I scan a batch of images, place them in the timeline, select
"Maintain Aspect Ratio", do my transitions, etc, some will flicker,
while others do not.

After scanning, do i have to proccess them any further, like
interlace, de-interlace, fields, etc?
Thanks.

JPG is probably the best format to use, in terms of space efficiency, as
long as you are not going to edit the photos. The flicker is probably
due to interlacing-- de-interlace all photos used in the video.

If you are going to edit or alter the photos in any way, use the .tif
format, or .png. (Or, if you have Photoshop or Elements, save it in
native .psd format).

Premiere can be a little erratic in the way it uses still images.

Since the photos are scanned, they should not be interlaced. However, if there
is fine detail, especially almost horizontal lines in the photo, the video
interlace could show up as flicker. But rather than a heavey handed method like
deinterlace, a slight vertical blur might be sufficient.

The only proper format to use when scanning imageery for video is an
uncompressed format like BMP. There is no reason for compression since you
are going to video.
