photo quality is horrible when I import pictures?

[Guest]

I am using MM to create a "photo story" for the year to send out to family as
a christmas card. I have a Cannon XTI 10 MP digital camera that takes
amazing shots but as soon as I import them into movie maker, then quality
dissipates and I can't find any options to change that. Can anyone help?
Are there ways to change that or is there another program that one can refer
me too?

===================================
If you are dragging the pictures to the timeline
and then viewing them full screen...the lower
resolution is to be expected...it does not affect
the completed movie file.

BTW...PhotoStory 3 is a better app for still pictures:
