    Another Question,

    When I play a burned DVD some of the(not all)still pictures that I pan across don’t seem very smooth. The pan motion seems to move in wavey chunks. Is this the way it’s supposed to look or is there a solution to have a higher quality pan? thank you for your time, Geoffrey

    Where are you seeing this? On a TV? On a computer monitor?

    If you build the DVD for TV, you can see some of this on a computer because TV’s are interlaced where a computer screen is progressive.

    On the computer The pan looks fine, yet on the TV I get the quality loss.

    I’m not sure if this helps, but try the Smoothness setting in Event Pan/Crop. Putting it at 0 has the program do exactly what you ask in a linear fashion, while a full “1” Smoothness makes the camera do “S-curve” wavy movements as it does its business. It can be subtle, so you might not notice until you see it on a full screen TV.

    I haven’t authored any DVDs with Vegas yet so I can’t help if it’s an authoring issue. I’m crossing my fingers Architect is better than Encore (ick).

    What preset did you use to render this to MPEG2?

    Could still be an interlace issue. Have you tried adding “Reduce Interlace Flicker”?

    I used NTSC DVD and interlace was used.

    One thing you might try also is to render the video using “best” quality. I render ALL photo montages using the “best” setting. It DOES make a difference from my experience.
