interlacing flicker in vegas pro

Wow – that doesn’t speak highly of Vegas Pro. But I do appreciate your practical solution. Thanks.

You’re likely to strike the same problem with other editors. It’s the sharpening that probably causes the issue. Some video editors put dotted white lines along the top left edge. You can even see them on TV broadcasts if your TV gives you the option of seeing the full image without cropping (overscan).

Fair enough. Tried with a Photoshop file – horizontal bar, then feathered in Vegas. Does the trick – but now new problem. My preview window in Vegas (I do not have an exterior monitor) does NOT match the aspect ration of the output settings (NTSC Widescreen, 720 x 480. Which means I have NO VISUAL WAY OF KNOWING WHAT I AM DOING. The trial and error mountain is too much. Why can’t the preview window simply match the output settings???????????
