Image brought into Video template jagged edges

Hello,

I have a scanned image at 300dpi that looks good when I open its .psd. I create a new NTSC D1 video preset... I've tried it both at 72 dpi and 300dpi. Anytime I bring the image into my video comp, the edges are a bit jagged... it's like it loses its anti-aliasing or something (this particular image is an oval). If I create the same sized comp in a normal print at 300dpi, the jagged edges are not there. Is there something I'm missing? I've been creating images for video with square pixels and resampling for the video aspect ratio I use, and it would be nice to use Photoshop's PAR interpretation feature, but I can't figure out why the image degrades slightly. Is there a field interpretation feature in Photoshop's video settings I'm unaware of? Any thoughts?

Thank you!
 
Hey Milksac,

Yep. Same thing. I got a reply in a different form that said I should use file>place. I guess that is different than copy/paste or dragging the image into the comp?

Thanks for the reply...

Just tested that and seems to be the same... I was recommended a book called Photoshop for Video, so I guess I'll just need to go through that since I'm fairly new at using Photoshop for video purposes.
