Render Interlace or progressive ?
Hi, Using Vegas Trial version 12pro, video from Sony consumer SD-MPEG2 and some AVC HD cams (no 60p videos) which I think are all 29.97 upper fields first. I want to burn a 720/480 29.97 DVD; preferably progressive (and post to YouTube).
When I scrub in low quality no problem hearing audio scrub as well as watching video scrub.
In project settings I select BEST for Render and Upper Field Order. In DVD Arch I select Progressive in the video properties.Problem, even the AVC videos look somewhat blurry as if one field is totally removed. BLEND the two fields ? Raw videos looks sharp, especially the Raw AVC HD videos.
Am I right that Preview Quality Settings have no effect on the final Renders ?
Is it better to Render out via Vegas in BLEND or INTERPOLATE or NONE (do the progressive convert elsewhere ?).
Thanks,
Patrick -

That is true. And after selecting the templates you desire,
there is no need to fidget any further with the settings.Steve Rhoden

I think it would be easier to just save it as a file on your computer than to have the rendered content output to be a .vob file burned on a DVD, when your end goal is to upload to YouTube, since muxing and demuxing and converting from .vob to MPEG-2 can be a pain.
Maybe it looks messed up because maybe your DVD hardware player only is designed to play interlaced video to be compatible for analog television.
Does your field order look messed up on a DVD hardware player or when your play the DVD on your computer?

Steve & Dieter,
Thanks for your tips.
What is confusing me is why the preview is saying I am in (P)rogressive as far as Preview is concerned but (i)nterlaced re raw video source. So I mistakenly thought it best to Render as Progressive as far as the Project Settings are concerned.
The resultant videos look much softer than raw P2 videos; although I see minimal artifacts from interlacing. Thus, it is the resultant drop in frequency response in the videos that bothers me; I tried the FX Light/Sharpen Effect and that helps improve the freq response.
Bottom line I am mixing P2 ENG DVCpro50(p29.97) 720/460-16:9 as primary video on the timeline with multiple B-rolls from HD-MPEG & SD mini cams.
I need to make a YouTube & SD DVD of the final timeline. I have been using SorSquezz render the H264 YouTube files and MPEGs for DVD Arch.
Just bought VegasPro12pro Upgrade from SONY’s webpage at $99 ! It was a One Day Special via email for 12-12-2012 (much cheaper than the reg price of $149upgrade).
I was previously using Vegas11 with the P2 plugIn and was interested in the newer 12 version for direct P2 support.
Resultant videos are here: VideoByPatrick.com and YouTube.com/user/VideoByPatrick.com
The B-roll videos look way too soft versus the native 16:9 29.97p P2 video.
