Vegas – Renders Interlaced (LFF) + How to Convert 25p to 30p
Hello all,
2 questions.
1. I captured HDV 1080i into Adobe Premiere, (using Sony Fx7) (NTSC), exported M2V and WAV, muxed it, and edited it in Sony Vegas 8.0.
I tried to Render 1440×1080 (1080i).
I tried LFF and UFF and Progressive Scan. But some of the clips come out COMPLETELY interlaced (ugly). There are dozens of clips in the timeline.
What setting should I use? It is eventually for DVD and TV Broadcast, but for now I need to show the client on an LCD monitor.2. I have an animation in the beginning of this movie (originally alpha .mov), which I downloaded and edited (rendered into .mpg in vegas) which is 25p. I put it on the timeline.
It is coming out all Interlaced. If I Render as “Progressive Scan = No Interlacing” the Animation is fine but the rest of the Video is interlaced. But if I render LFF/UFF, the Animation is Interlaced, and the video is mostly fine but the animation is horrendously interlaced.
Any help would be kindly appreciated 🙂

Why didn’t you output HDV from Premiere? This is what you should have done if the source as HDV. Either that or use CineForm as a digital intermediary.

In Vegas, you should set your project to match the output format that you will deliver in. Then right-click each video event and select Properties | Media and make sure that the Field order is set correctly, where “correctly” means that it reflects the medias true field order. If it’s not, then change it to the correct field order. Then render to the format you are going to deliver in and Vegas will take care of any field order changes.
If the procedure above does not work, then your media is messed up. It is probably reporting the wrong field order. This was probably caused by Premiere or the muxing. This is why I would keep the footage HDV which is always Upper Field First (UFF)

Why did you render this to MPEG2 in Vegas? Keep the original MOV file in your project and follow the procedure above to make sure the field order is reported correctly. If it’s not correct (i.e., the filed order reports UFF when you know the animation is progressive) then change the event’s field order to be progressive.
