Hey guys,

I'm putting together a short video using pixel animation. Here's my current process:

Scram something up in Sprite Something on the iPad
Rip the sheet apart in Graphics Gale to make individual images
Import images into Sony Vegas
Render
Cry

The crying comes from the fact that a 128x128 pixel image gets stretched to 1280x720 or 1920x1080 and Vegas Anti-aliases the crap out of it.
Now, apart from up-converting my pixel sheets by hand to 1280x720 or higher is there a way I can get a clean up-conversion from 128x128 to 1280x720 or 1920x1080 without losing quality?

Note: I've tried exporting from Gale to AVI then importing/exporting, but the image is still 128x128 and gets stretched all to smelts.

Thanks in advance,

Excellent!

With a bit of poking about I found ImageMagick.org which has a windows DLL command line thingy that works perfectly for what I need.

Hope this helps anyone else in the same bundle!
