Cropping and Loss of resolution
It stands to reason that cropping a video clip to improve composition, remove edge clutter, and zoom in on a subject would also result in a loss of resolution. That is the way it appears. Are there any image adjustments techniques that would improve the picture. I suppose brightness and contrast or color values, color curves, or filters such as in photoshop that improve sharpness would help? Any comments. Anyone?

It would be great if such software existed but I doubt it. Video clips are at a relatively low resolution and any zoom above 25% will appear very fuzzy. Normally 10% is about the most to be unnoticeable. You can, of course, zoom in a lot more on photos and even make them appear to move with Pan and Crop or motion tracking. I only answered this because no-one else appeared to do so!

Thanks for the reply. I would hope there are more that a handful of readers of this forum. Perhaps Vegas is so easy that no one feels the need to visit. I was talking to another Vegas user today who thought Vegas was every bit as good as Final Cut Pro.

There are two forums on the Cow for Vegas. This one, and the other one:

I’ve wondered about this, too. I was trying to figure out how to zoom in without losing quality. I had pretty much given up on the idea, but I’ve seen videos on YouTube where the pan was obviously more than 10 or 20% and the quality of the video remained the same. So there has to be a way to do it.
I just haven’t figured it out, yet.
