Will Vegas render an uncompressed AVI
I’m working on a broadcast TV spot, and the station says they can accept an uncompressed QuickTime (MOV) file of the commercial.
In Vegas’s drop down menu of QuickTime render options, there is no “uncompressed” option. The highest quality option for QuickTime is “3 Mbps”.
So I rendered the project as a 3Mbps MOV file, and again as an uncompressed AVI, and the file sizes between the MOV and the uncompressed AVI were nearly identical.
This leads me to think that maybe a 3Mbps MOV file could be considered uncompressed. The 3Mbps Quicktime file was of very high video quality.
Anybody know if a 3Mbps MOV file is uncompressed?
Thanks!

If you don’t select and bit rate and just leave it in the default, you will encode Quicktime uncompressed for you project size. Also you can go in to the video format window and choose component and you’ll get the highest possible quicktime output and the largest file size.
You will not be able to play the component file back, but you can pull it back into the time line and render just about any other type of file from it. Also, this type of file is a great way to get 1920 x 1080 out of Vegas 5. You can render it to your firewire drive and then take the Drive to your local online house with finalcut pro HD and have them print it to HDCam or DVC-Pro HD.
