Render Settings, What is best?
Greetings,
I have been using Vegas for a few years and have been comfortable with the render settings for the projects i was working on. Now I have a 3ccd Panasonic MiniDV camera that produces amazing footage for the wedding videos being filmed.
My problem is that now that I demand higher quality for my finished product, the standard NTSC Widescreen DV render settings are subpar. My videos are being rendered with what looks like very subtle lines running horizontally through the finished video. Instead of the smooth footage I originally started with, the output video looks rigid. Once the rendered files are burned on to a DVD using Architect, the quality seems to increase, but no where near what I had before.
Any suggestions? Or does it seem like I am just too lazy to figure it out on my own? 🙂

If you’re using the pro version of Vegas (i.e. not Movie Studio), it’s time to get into customizing your render settings instead of using the defaults.
If your videos are under 70 min., use a CBR of 8,000,000.
If they’re over this length, you’ll need to use a bitrate calculator.
Check the Rendering Problems thread as I discuss this subject and give links to two other threads that should be of some help.
I guarantee that the quality of your finished videos will improve. -
The horizontal lines may be visable interlacing. Try setting the project settings to progressive, blend fields. Also try rendering as progressive and see if that helps. Hope this helps.
