Images not keeping aspect ratio when rendering
Hi,
Happy Friday! I have perhaps a very silly question but would truly appreciate and advice and guidence.
I’m currently working on a marketing piece for my office that involves HD video, filmed originally in an mpeg format 1080p. The piece includes interview footage, b-roll, and still images. When I bring the stills into Sony Vegas Pro 10 I’ve opened the pan/crop window, right clicked, and matched the output aspect ratio. When I’m previewing the video in Sony it looks as though the image is matching the aspect ratio of the video.
Then when I go to render the final product I see a thin bar of video on the top and bottom of the image. I’m unsure why that occurs though? Any ideas on how to have the image cover the screen would be great! 🙂 I need to render the file so that it will can be uploaded to a vimeo site. (It did work in mpeg 2 but the audio disapears)
Thanks so much for any advice you can provide. I’m certainly nstill a newbie at using vegas and although passionate about video editing I have quite a bit to learn 🙂
Have a great weekend!
Kira

Well… now it’s Happy Sunday (sorry for not seeing this earlier, had a busy day yesterday)

This usually happens because your render aspect doesn’t match your project aspect. What are the dimensions and pixel aspect ratio of your project and render template? Make sure they are the same aspect.

Some of the MPEG2 templates intentionally have the audio turned off because they are meant to have the audio rendered separately. You can always modify the template and turn the audio on. If your target is Vimeo, you should be using Sony AVC with one of the “Internet …” render temnplates.

Passion is the key ingredient to success. You go for it! 😉

Hi John,
Thanks so much for getting back to me and I do apologize for not answering sooner! I really appreciate your help and advice. 🙂 I took a look at the aspect ratio and the template with which I was rendering and changed it to default and that seemed to take care of the issue. I’ll be sure to remember to double check my render and project aspects in the future.
Thank you too for the advice about what format to render in for Vimeo! It was so helpful 🙂
Have a great weekend and thanks again!
Kira
