Wavy lines on MTS files.

[Nigel O’neill]

It was hard to see the wavy lines on the small still images, but from what you described you could be experiencing an interlacing issue in your output/rendering process.

im not really sure what to do with the bottom half of your message.

So you think its to do with the render settings i have selected? or the conversion of mts to avi?

Its very hard getting the best out if videos taken with 3 different camera, 3 different resolutions and 3 different frame rates. Do i need to resample the videos or do i just set the render settings as the maximum frame rate and resolution of any videos in project?

[Matt Crowley]

It looks like blending (due to bad deinterlacing, possibly in your MTS>AVI conversion) or resampling (due to different frame rates).

What formats are the source videos, and what format is the project/output?

You can try disabling resampling on the video clips that are not at the project frame rate. This will reduce any ghosting caused by Vegas synthesizing frames to match framerates, but you may get a bit of juddering on smooth/fast motion.

Set your project to the highest resolution and framerate of the cameras and select Blend or Interpolate as the project deinterlace method (experiment to see which works best).

thanks matt very helpful

[Matt Crowley] “looks like blending (due to bad deinterlacing, possibly in your MTS>AVI conversion) “

Yes i think your right there, could you possibly explain to me what deinterlacing is and how i can use/alter it

[Matt Crowley] “What formats are the source videos, and what format is the project/output?”

the file types are:

mov –> avi which converted fine I think
MPEG 4 , works fine in vegas
and MTS to avi (MJPEG)

and ive tried rendering in avi, wmv and AVC, all with some negative quality effects.

Thank you, very helpful

The bottom half of my message relates to my system profile. I wish other posters would use it as it helps us diagnose problems caused by underpowered machines or older/different Vegas products.
