    Has anyone had problems with this in V8? I never experienced this with my version 6. I am doing a wedding video, and when I pan the camera, you can see pixelation, or stuttering in the background (not the subject). Does the quality degrade everytime you render? This I was wondering also. I took the rendered file, and opened it up in Adobe Soundbooth to clean-up the audio. I burnt it to a dvd, played it, and several times within a 5 minute period, there were flashes of red on the video, as if there had been something like a .5 sec red clip on the timeline or something. I do not see the first problem or this one when it is played back on the computer, from the hd.

    one thing at a time. Although i don’t use 8 I did use the trial and never saw any differnce in quality between 8 or 6 which is what I use every day. Second, rendering from AVI to MPEG and back will degrade the quality. How much will vary depending on the bitrate used in the mpeg compression.
    Rendering AVI to AVI would be a very minor amount of degradtion at least from what I’ve seen over the years doing it. As for the pixelation and red flashes I have to say that the only time I see any pixelation is on a really fast pan-I called it the NYPD Blue swish pan-real fast and real ugly (especially in a wedding video) so I really can’y think of a reason that you should be seeing that unless the codec you used for the DVD caused it.????
    Sorry I can’t help more.

    On this question, what I was attemping to do was:
    I took an AVI and put in Vegas. I rendered it to Mpeg2, when I was done, then I copied that Mpeg2 file into Adobe Soundbooth, so I could clean up the audio, then saved it to another name (which I am sure rendered again to Mpeg2. That is why I was asking if you re-rendered an Mpeg, would it degrade the quality?

    yes it will. Don’t render to mpeg to bring into soundbooth-render audio only to WAV bring into soundbooth, clean and bring it back to vegas to finish edit. No reason to render video for audio work-it’ll just muck it up.
