How To Render With No Quality Loss

Posted by Joao Souza on February 4, 2013 at 8:24 pm

Let’s assume I want to render a video with several tracks then import it and apply effects, what format has no quality loss?
Should I use that “render to new track” tool or just render then import it?

You could save your project (with several tracks), then put that saved ‘.veg’ file into another (2nd) .veg project (nesting). Your multi-track original project will show up as a single event on one track. If you right-click on the event, you can open a 2nd instance of Vegas to go back and tweak the editing on the first project in its multi-track incarnation and save it. The 2nd project will automatically refresh the nested original .veg file, then you can apply your affects. When done, render the 2nd .veg project and there will be no quality loss.

Does this work with Vegas HD Platinum? Or is it just Vegas Pro?

According to the Sony Creative Software product comparison site at https://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/vegaspro/compare, it doesn’t appear to be an option for you. Sorry. Perhaps one of the more experienced guys have another way to come at it for you.

Thanks Andrew but I just want to know which format has no quality loss or at least, less quality loss 😉

What’s the format of your source footage?

Any codec which is lossless has no quality loss 🙂
You can try AVI Uncompressed or AVI Sony YUV or MOV PNG (HUGE files!), you can install good lossless codecs such as Lagarith or HuffYUV or… choose yourself

I’ve been under the impression that the Sony MXF file is best. That’s what we use to render our HD programs that go to PBS.

Based on results or experience? Sorry to challenge, but so often rumour will win

Sony MXF is good, but OP wanted a “format with no quality loss”

Isn’t that simply uncompressed? (Huge file sizes: if it was you that said that already then sorry.)
