    I have an AE intro (DJ template) that I rendered as .avi lossless (1920x1080p) and brought into vegas (1280x720p timeline). Both vegas preview and WMP play the file fine (it is a photo album with a camera movement between photos and some text adjacent to photos). However, after rendering vegas project to .mp4 or m2t file (I tried both MainConcept and SonyAVC) or MPEG-2 for DVD, the movement of the AE camera is much more blurry and stuttering. I’ve disabled resample and checked “interpolate” for MPEG-2 file ut it didn’t help.

    Why didn’t you render to 720p if that’s your timeline. You are causing Vegas to resize the video which is probably making it softer. Just render the correct size from AE to begin with. I would also use the QuickTime Animation codec for rendering out of AE.

    Sorry, my mistake – I did actually rendered it to 720p. Following your advice I am now rendering it to QuickTime but why should it be better then losless avi?
    There maybe some softness but my main concern is “stutter” in AE camera movement. Actually, it is not as much as stuttering but really extreme motion blur. Whereas in the original AE project and avi render from AE there is a minimal motion blur that makes the camera movement more realistic, when I render vegas timeline to mp4 or mpeg2 the motion blur becomes very exaggerated splitting the text as the camera moves by making it very unpleasant to watch.

    After replacing avi render with Quicktime it seems that results with regards to motion blur are only slightly better but not much.

    I recommend QuickTime Animation because the file would be smaller than uncompressed just in case the large file size was causing the stutter.
