light rays not rendering like preview
Hi there
I have Sony Vegas Studio HD Platinum 10. I’m keen on the Sony light rays FX (as supplied with software) in part of a video I’m doing. In the preview window it looks great but in the final render the rays are 50% or more down of what they were in the preview. I’ve tried rendering to mpeg2, mp4 and avi but with the same result. Can anyone explan why this might be happening?
kind regards

Can you explain what you mean by down? Darker or actually lower on the screen?

That’s probably happening because of the way your effects are lined up.
Try putting the light effect at the beginning of your chain of effects.Roger Bansemer – PaintingAndTravel.com

Hi and thanks for reply:
First Pat – sorry I didn’t explain it well, it’s about the generation of the ray ..see pic below
second Roger – the ray is the only effect in that particular clip
Preview window – note extent of rays
Rendered mpeg2 (1920×1080) there are rays there but they are much shorter and don’t have the same impact.
Can anyone explain?

I learned a long time ago to make sure to set my Preview window to Best/Full for accurate preview of any FX I apply.

Preview shows how video will be rendered, it’s the last thing before rendering so if the order of effects is causing that problem, preview window should show it, if not it’d mean preview is before effects so we shouldn’t see effects in preview.
Sometimes when I have that kind of effect problem, I just duplicate that track and delete the original one, God knows why the copy always worked perfectly.
Sometimes I just add a new video track(if I’m using only a few effects) and drop media from bad track there.
But I always was able to see those problems in preview so I have no clue why it’s rendering differently than preview.We have so much time and so little to do! / Willy Wonka

Thank you Joao for comments, I’ll certainly give that a go …especially as nothing else has been suggested!
Thanks

Sorry, confused by your point? The preview is on best, the problem I’ve got is the preview is handling the ray generation better than the render is. It makes life difficult as you spend ages getting it as you want it using the preview to find it hasn’t worked out in the render.

[Joao Souza] “His preview is on BEST(according to his pic).”
His preview is set to Best/Auto, not Best/Full. There is a difference.

Here’s an example of the difference between Best/Auto and Best/Full.
I think you’ll agree that the difference is quite substantial.
