What are the best Properties & Rendering settings – Sony Vegas Pro 10.0

[Sean Tujaka]

I would like the best video & audio quality that Sony Vegas can offer.

[John Rofrano]

I would render as Sony AVC with the Internet 1280×720-30p template.

Of course this assumes that your video is HD. If it is not, then you need to give us more information about what you are doing.

What resolution are the movie clips? (i.e., width?, height?, pixel aspect ratio?)

Frame Width: 640
Frame Height: 360
Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1.0000 (Square

[John Rofrano]

[Sean Tujaka] “Frame Width: 640
Frame Height: 360
Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1.0000 (Square”

In that case use the “Internet 640×360-30p” template.

Nothing really. It’s all set up for YouTube from Sony.

One thing for youtubes is that the AVC renderer does 29.970fps. I sometimes get material with real 30fps. In that case the Sony AVC codec is not usable as it crashes for me when I try to match the frame rate. The MainConcept codec does allow to do that.

Why does it make a difference ? If you have real 30fps source material and convert that to 29.970fps then either you start interpolating frames, or if you disable that, you get some stuttering (barely visible, but still). I found this especially unpleasant if the source material contained considerable movement …

You can slow down 30 fps clip to 29.97 fps (set playback rate to 0.999)
