Why is Smart Resample default in Sony Vegas Pro?

Yup, Like you I’m still shooting with my Sony Z1U and A1U and the HDV MPEG2 footage edits like DV use to in Vegas Pro 12.0. lol

“Because way back in the days of DV, Smart Resample use to almost always do the “right thing”. Today, with all of the different non-standard HD camera formats, it doesn’t always get it right. ”

I’m sorry if I misread you. I thought you said that it did work once, but different video formats …as sources… (“non-standard HD camera formats”) made it less than ideal. I was saying that no matter what format I used as a _source_, smart resample was still giving a lousy result.

It also does not seem to matter what frame rate or codec I use, it will cause blurriness.

Please tell me what I am doing “wrong”. You say that you leave Smart Resample set to On for all your projects? Well AFAICS it at the VERY BEST slows down render speed by a significant amount. If it works for the better for you, then that may be a price worth paying. If it makes no difference then it’s a waste of time. IME it makes whatever I render look worse.
