For best results, you need to set Preview quality to Best/Full, Deinterlace method to Interpolate, Field Order to Progressive, Rendering Quality to Best. Then save your snapshot. (if you use Vegasaur’s Snapshots tool, you do not need to complete these steps, just click the button)

Vegas supports only JPEG and PNG.
You can set JPEG quality in Internal settings (by default 95%)

VideoWall tool from Vegasaur allows you to do it with a single click (not free)

FYI, Cinec is just another GUI for FFmpeg & FFmbc (I think that ALL video converters for Windows, which claim that they can convert to ProRes – are wrappers for FFmpeg, nothing more).

to convert a video file to Apple ProRes 422 HQ with ffmpeg use the following command (avi is just for example):

ffmpeg.exe -i "input-video-file.avi" -c:v prores -profile:v 3 -c:a copy "output-filename.mov"

Probably the fastest way is to use Mainconcept AVC renderer with Internet HD 1080p template
(or use free Video4YouTube extension)

Take a screenshot of a webpage, add it to a separate video track and use Pan/Crop tool to resize the image and create Picture-in-Picture effect.
