    Disable resampling on all your Video events and you will be ok.

    Hi,
    this is just my guess, as I don’t know the details what really happened to you.
    You may see the interpolation, which Vegas does by default, if your source framerate is not the target framerate.
    I saw this effect too: I do my recordings in 1920*1080@50p.
    If I want to render this to -say- 25p, the ghosting is there.
    If I don’t want it, I disable resample (right click/poperties).
    Sometimes -lets say people are dancing on a stage- I don’t want to resample. Sometimes -say I need a slowmotion- I do want resample.

    So, check the framerate of your source material and the target you want render to.
    If the framerates are aliquot, you can disable resampling. Otherwise I’d expect a worse result.

    Regards

    Hi,

    It seems that your project framerate is 59.951 (where does this come from?), and you render to a 59.94 (double NTSC) framerate file.
    So there’s a difference, and still there’s no information about the source framerate (the media you are using in your project).

    Kind regards

    i render to 59.94 for doing video at 60 fps.
    How can i get infos on source video?

    Hi,
    Therare more ways to get this info.
    1. Right click the media on your timeline, and select properties. On the “general” tab you’ll find the info.
    2. In the poroject media select the file, then status bar will change to show the info about the file.

    I would set up the project to match the source (or the majority of sources if there are different ones) framerate, and would render to a file with the same framerate.
    If you do this, there’s no need to resample.

    Regards

    Yes, exactly.
    I see, your project framerate matches the source.
    Try to create a render template with a matching framerate.
    And then do the render with that.
    That will eliminate the ghosting effect.

    Ok thx i will try.
    If i remember correctly, i’ve already tried to render at the same values, but it change automatically in render templates.

    Sorry for my bad english

    You need to save your render template, if you want to reuse it later 😉
