Vegas Prerender Q
Hi,
Here I go again. Question asked and answered a hundred times, yet can’t find it in the search – sorry!
Am editing a relative’s video of a trip to Russia. Vegas 7. Want to edit and pre-render about half of it, then do the other half, then combine the two in one “movie” before making a DVD.
Obviously want to keep the highest quality I can.
A. To what filetype should the prerender be made? (MPEG2? AVI? What?) to retain the ultimate best quality.
B. Can these prerendered files be placed on a new Vegas timeline, one after the other, and would they then have to be rerendered to MPEG2, in order to be made ultimately a DVD? Can a step be skipped?
Thank you! -

render as AVI

As suggested you can render each segment to AVI then put both on a timeline, put a marker at the beginning of the second for a chapter.
Or edit each movie in a separate project (.veg). Then import each .veg file into a new project (nesting) and render to mpg2 as with the AVIs.

If the project was HDV 1080i, is AVI better than rendering to HDV 1080i?

For what purpose? Output to DVD? Output to BD? Archiving? Printing to tape?

Specifically for prerenders or for segments that will be placed together in a completed project before the final render.
