motion blur and preview settings
When capturing stills from my footage (progressive DV, and 720p) i’ve noticed, as I run through the footage looking for good frames to capture, that if I have the preview quality as ‘Best, (Full)’ there is a lot of motion blur, whereas if i change it to ‘Preview, (Full) the motion blur is greatly reduced allowing me far more usable frames for capturing as stills. I would imagine that stills captures at ‘Best’ quality would be better quality than ones at ‘Preview’ so i should ideally be capturing them at ‘Best’.
So why the motion blur at ‘best’ but not ‘preview’? And how can i get rid of it at ‘best’?

Did you set your project Properties to match your source footage (i.e. progressive)?

Mmmm – i think so. I always shoot Progressive, i always have the project properties as Progressive, and the footage properties also show Progressive. Yet i’ve just changed the properties to upper field, then lower field, and both seem to yield better results than Progressive. That’s just weird.

Also check that the frame rate of your project matches the frame rate of your footage. Otherwise Vegas will blend frames to change the rate and that will cause blur.

ah ha, my HMC footage is shot in 50p and i’ve been having the properties as 25p (PAL land, obviously). ‘Preview’ must economise by just having 25 fps, as well as lower res etc, as it’s fine at 50p.
Thanks for that.
Not too sure why it would happen with the DVX footage as that’s 25p though.
