  • Rendering Question – Slideshow inc VASST

    Hi All,

    I’ve made a slideshow with a mix of techniques. Project is 720p25 as it’s for PAL countries. Vegas Pro 12. Rendering to MP4.

    Mix of VAAST tool use including a lot of Ultimate S Motofoto (that seems to render fine and look good), but also have a nested project with six rings of Scattershot 3Ds forming a cyclinder that is then turned as a whole using composite track motion. (eg. viewer is inside a video tower rising up seeings the rings of photos spin turn slowly around them)

    When I first rendered (Apple iPad 720p), it came up crisp but the motion looks stuttery. Even on a monitor set to 50 refresh rate. You can see something like ghosts.

    I’ve tried doing reduce interlace flicker and using blending for deinterlace and it now looks too blurry to even see the pictures in an Internet HD 720p render.

    Can someone suggest the best combo of:

    Resampling
    Flicker Reduction on/off
    Deinterlacing method
    Adjust source media for project

    Or any other tools/solutions to get the video looking right?

    Thanks so much!

    S

    [Seb Mackintosh] “When I first rendered (Apple iPad 720p), it came up crisp but the motion looks stuttery. Even on a monitor set to 50 refresh rate. You can see something like ghosts.”

    By default, the Apple iPad 720p setting is 29.970 (NTSC) fps which would explain why your PAL 25 fps video had ghosting. Try changing the frame rate to 25.000.

    Thanks John. That seems to help but not entirely.

    Would you recommend any of forced resampling, flicker reduction or ‘Adjust source media to project settings’

    And do I need a de-interlacing method or not?

    Thanks!

    [Seb Mackintosh] “Would you recommend any of forced resampling, flicker reduction or ‘Adjust source media to project settings’ “

    That should have fixed it assuming it was a frame rate mismatch. Not sure why it didn’t.

    [Seb Mackintosh] “And do I need a de-interlacing method or not?”

    If you are dealing with interlaced video then it must be set to something other than none. If your footage is progressive and your project is progressive and your target render is progressive, then you don’t.
