Help with rendering in Sony Vegas 8
I have been making music videos using video game cinematics for about five years now. It’s become somewhat of a cathartic passion of mine. I consider myself to be pretty good, especially for someone who practically taught himself how to do it. But being self-taught has its fair share of disadvantages.
I’ve noticed that even when going through a rendered preview of my videos, the quality is lacking. I want to be able to render my videos to full HD, but I haven’t the slightest clue what I’m doing. What’s the best way to get the best possible quality renderings of my videos?
Lamens terms, please. I’m a noob!

It all starts with the quality of your original source video. Where are you acquiring your footage, and with what tool(s)? Keep in perspective that professionals that create music videos (and get paid for their work) use professional gear (ie- $$$$$), so their original footage is very, very good quality (50 mb/s, for example). Any work they do in post production (color grading, effects, etc.) keeps that footage looking good, where if I were to use my personal camera, with it’s ‘far-from-perfect’ compression codec, the footage would fall apart after grading. It would not look professional no matter what I would do in post.
