Sony Vegas pro 10 rendering problems

[John Rofrano]

[Jake Butson] “Every time, I render something (whether it is interlaced or not, the footage comes out looking like this: “

What do you feel is wrong with the clip? Other than you needing a steader hand and learning to pan slower, I don’t see any interlace problems.

You are right, I do need to get better at using a tripod in general but the footage comes out looking strange to me. Do you think I should get a other editing software because it is always interlaced and it looks stupid. By the way, I did check the original footage and it’s sony vegas’s fault.

Vegas can render progressive video, or not. It rendered what you asked it to. Did you check the rendered video to see if it is progressive?

[Jake Butson]

I checked and nope it’s not enabled. You mind if you can give me a breif summary of progressive scan?

[John Rofrano]

If you are trying to render for the internet, you should be using Sony AVC with one of the “Internet…” templates. They are all progressive. From the looks of your video, I’m guessing the Internet 1280×720-30p is the one you want to use.

I do render in those settings. Is progressive video causing the problem?

I’m sorry but I don’t see the problem. There is no interlace problem in the footage you posted. As far as I can tell, it’s progressive. Why do you think there is a problem?

Hi, I think I can see the problem. It is easier to spot on the HD setting (youtube) and using full screen. You can often see one frame and then the next is superimposed albeit semi-transaparent. When he pans past thin vertical lines they seem to split in two.

What is the original footage? Did you create the project by using the button to match settings to media? What does vegas think it is?

It is more difficult for the low end cameras to keep up with a pan and very diffcult when you are moving in all directions (e.g. walking thru the woods).
Footage is usally interlaced (e.g. f you have a 50 line system it wll scan half the lines on one scan and the other half on the other) More recently cameras can scan the whole frame in one (aka progressive). If your footage is interlaced I think you can render as progressive in Vegas and it must interpolate the missing lines. However if the camera is moved it becomes difficult to do this and you get two images superimposed.

The footage is orgianally 720p 30fps and Vegas thinks it’s that. The footage was not altered in any way by me but, the Program altered it in the render settings. Whethere it was interlaced or not, I still got interlaced footage

What are your project settings? Maybe it is set to be interlaced there?
