Fantastic. Just watched. Thank you for that suggestion. Very helpful.

[Andy Winn]

Thank you! I will go forward then, but would you recommend a post, or a video, to help me better understand the idea of “progressive scan”, what to do when the FPS is different than 29.97, etc. I know these attributes must be important…I just don’t fully understand why.

Again, thank you for assisting me. This has been helpful.

[Andy Winn]

Again, you have been extremely helpful. I will try to limit my questions to two more emails (this one and one additional), but I wanted to ask if you would help me understand the properties that make up most of the media for this project.

Attached are four photos that display the range of properties in the video clips for the project. It did seem that the footage is 29.97 (that seems to be the standard…correct?), but it had additional information that I am uncertain of its importance nor what exactly to do with the information. Do you mind scanning the properties of the clips to let me know the best way to drop these in the timeline (and if i should pay attention to any of the details other than the fps).

Thanks so much.

Andy

Wow. This was so helpful. Thank you for taking the time to respond.

Though I am a bit embarrassed to say this, I am not sure how to identify what frame rate the footage was captured but I am convinced your explanation described my issue. I have created videos with Vegas Pro for two decades, however, it is on the side, so I am still learning the technicalities of editing. If you wouldn’t mind letting me know how to determine what FPS the source is shot and how to decide what to frame rate my project should be would be very helpful. I often create graduation or wedding videos for those that I know well, so the source media may be in a variety of various formats. I would be interested to know how to adjust a project when there is a variety of footage in the project.

Thanks again for helping me know how to get the best qualify for the finished projects.

Just to circle back. I was able to install it. Thank you so much for your support.

[Andy Winn]

Okay…it is still missng. Uggghhhhhh. I intended to purchase the “ultimate” package. Again, Continuim is installed on my computer…just not in Vegas. Let me do some additional checking around in my license that we just upgraded…

[Andy Winn]

Wow. Thank you so much. I have used Vegas for years (though this is not my main job so I am still a novice when it comes to all features). I realized the BCC is not installed into my Vegas Pro 2026 though it is installed on my computer. I will try to figure a way to incorporate it into my Vegas Pro 2026. Thank you so much for even letting me know the need to install it. I guess I thought when I downloaded the updated 2026, it would come installed with the Vegas Pro 2026 package.

Sorry to email you directly, but I thought you may be able to assist me with my last question for this project. I have rendered the project (though I am not going to try and correct the red-eye using your suggestions), but as it is played back in .mp4, there seems to have a redish/blue “hue” around some of the footage. It is slight, but it is not as crisp as the actual footage (both stills and videos) shows in the timeline. It is almost a slight (very slight) 3D type effect on the video around the objects of the video, but it makes it look somewhat “off”. Should I render it differently? I used the standard Magix AVC/AAC MP4 format Internet HD 1080p 29.97 fps. It may simply be that it is lagging in the playback.

Suggestions?

[Andy Winn]

That is a great suggestion. Thank you and I will try that now. Grateful.

[Andy Winn]

Okay, I know I will sound like a “newbie” (and…to be honest…though I have worked with Vegas for years, I only do so when I do a project for fun every 5ish years), is the setting you’re one of the drop-down preset Video tab template option that looks like:

Template: HD 1080-30p (1920×1080, 29.70 fps).

Field Order: None (progressive scan)

Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1.000 (square)

HDR Mode: Off

Frame Rate: 29.970 (NTSC)

Pixel format: 8 bit (full range)

I have never really changed this suggested option, so I would love to know if this is best.

Thank you so much.

Andy
