Quality of photo's in iMovie iOS

I have started to use iMovie for the ipad 2. When I import photo's into the movie I have noticed a considerable loss in quality. When I look at the same image in the photos app, the quality is perfect. Why is this?

The photos has to be shrunk to fit the 1280 x 720 frame size of video in iMovie.


Also it may be not totally rendered in the timeline.

It should look better in the final output.


But photos will always look better at full resolution then when they are shrunk and compressed as video.


There is no fix to this.

You want high quality photos, then use photos. You want video, then photos will be resized.
