  • How do I get rid of these artifacts?

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygT8QWrd-qo If anyone is wondering about the text that pops up during the video, they are each different recording formats on my camera, all hd. I thought that one of them was the culprit of the artifacts, but they aren’t. You can see them when I shake the camera around. How do I get rid of these? Different Sony Vegas rendering settings? Preferably HD.

    You are referring to the tearing/blinking, right? It’s in the source footage or does it only show up on render? If it’s in the source, there’s no hope of fixing it. The artifacts are showing up between the main I frames, so if the render is causing it, changing the way you export will help: Try using MainConcept AVC to MP4 out of Vegas with a pretty high data rate (10-20Mbps). You could also experiment and render to a giant lossless format too (QuickTime MOV with the Animation codec or AVI Uncompressed), just as a test.

    Yes, that’s what I’m talking about. It isn’t in the source footage, nor the render footage. It only shows up on youtube. I’ll try some of those though and post back with the results.

    Also, do you think you could give me the EXACT settings for vegas that might get rid of these? Because I just rendered it as an avc mp4, and I’m guessing there’s some settings that were missing or something. I think it’s youtube that’s causing it to show, but I’ve seen people with the same exact camera that don’t have the problem, I even asked him for some different rendering settings, but it still happened.

    I don’t think the AVI will work and it’ll be too big for non-test stuff anyhow.

    If it’s not in the source and it’s not in the rendered MP4 file played back on your computer and it’s YouTube, then I’m not sure what we can do except make sure you match YouTube’s exact specs for uploaded files so that it does as little conversion as possible. I haven’t checked in a few months to see if YouTube has made any new changes, but these two formats work for me:

    * 1920×1080, @24 or @30 fps, progressive scan for the interlacing (25fps probably also works fine)

    * 1280×720, @24/25/30fps, progressive scan
