  • Rendering Quality Problem!

    Posted by Stanly Dcosta on February 6, 2012 at 5:23 pm

    So I’ve just worked on this project for about a month now. Now that it’s finished; I’ve rendered it in HD and the video still comes out a little choppy and very little pixelated though in the preview when I’m editing I put the preview to Best and It’s CRISP clear, only when I render it the quality just goes down Hill!
    This film/project that I’m working on was shot in HD 720p.
    I tried rendering in 720P 1080P and still quality is bad!

    Also last summer I’ve been working on a project too but everything went fine, it was shot with the same camera that I’m using and I rendered it and it came out crispy clear. This time it’s not rendering it crispy clear… please help my deadline for this project is coming up!

    If you shot in 720p you should not be rendering 1080p, you should only render as 720p.

    What are your project settings?

    What are your render settings?

    The more you can tell us about what’s settings you’re using, the better chance someone will see what the problem might be.

    On Sony Vegas Preview the video looks HD Clear but after rendering the quality gets ruined.
    I’m not sure if it’s my settings or what.
    Because my last project came out really clear and i was very pleased with the results.
    I think i’m messing up somewhere…

    Do you have a need to use Windows Mucked-up Video format? You’ll get much better results if you use one of:
    a. MainConcept MPEG-2
    b. QuickTime 7
    c. Sony AVC/MVC

    If you haven’t already tried it, then render your project using the Sony AVC format and the “Internet 720p” presets (25p if that’s definitely the source frame rate). That should give an MP4 file with pretty good quality for 720p or HD source.

    The general opinion here seems to be to avoid WMV unless you specifically need to use that format.

    I agree that Sony AVC will give you a good encode. Your problem may just be your bitrate. If your camera shot 16Mbps HD and your rendering 5Mbps WMV that’s 1/3 the information. Sony AVC with 16Mbps should produce the same quality as your source. Even at 8Mbps it should still be pretty good.
