  • Recording(Frapsing) in 1920×1200, rendering settings?

    Posted by Sebastian Löfgren on October 25, 2011 at 9:39 am

    As title.
    I fraps some of my gaming footage and use Vegas movie studio hd platinum 10.0 for editing and rendering.

    But I cant figure out a good way to render the aspect dosnt seem to work correctly and the quality isn’t top. I get black bars on top and botom and the image looks “squashed”.

    Example:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xcpY69ptQOI&feature=channel_video_title

    Fast forward to around 0:40

    What I want:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZDMkACLnak&feature=channel_video_title

    So what am I doing wrong?
    I improved my quality by using ripbot so thats alright I guess but if its possible to achiv really good quality and with no black bars in vegas only would be super!

    Thanks!

    Implying that your making a youtube video, you want it to be 16:9 and fit the whole shape of the player. Correct?

    As your using fraps, I think that your recording gameplay and therefore most likely gameplay in 720p. First thing you should not do is panic. You should be recording properly. I’m a gaming director myself (just starting out) so I’ve been through the same problems.

    —————————————————-
    First, go to project settings. You do that by clicking the mouse icon near the preview section. (Top-Left of it). I have it set to “HDV 720-30p (1280×720, 29.970fps)”. Now change the “Pixel Aspect Ratio” to “NTSC DV Widescreen”. Now down to Pixel and I keep it at 8-bit because I don’t know what it does and Full-Resolution rendering quality is Best. I also checked the box under deinterlace. Audio should be 48KHz.

    —————————————————-
    When rendering, save as type: MainConcept AVC/AAC (*.mp4).
    Now to “Custom…”

    Video
    “Custom Frame Size” – 1280 by 720
    (Tick box for Letterboxed Project)**
    Baseline
    29.970000
    Untick box
    **If first box was unticked, change pixel aspect to 1.0000
    reference frames = 2 (use deblocking filter)
    constant bitrate at 10mill.

    Project
    Video rendering quality = Best
    —————————————————-
    Right so they are my settings and they should hopefully sort your problem. If anyone wishes to correct me, feel free to do so.

    Hope it helps!

    Edit
    If it records in any other dimension, see below to change the numbers to…. (You can render in it just to check draft versions on Youtube)

    360p = 640 x 360
    480p = 854 x 480
    720p = 1280 x 720
    1080p = 1440 x 1080
    2K = 2048 x 1152
    4K = 4096 x 2304
