[H.T Baldwin] ” Render the footage twice?
Would this be necessary? I’ve gone 30-24fps with this documentary (burned to DVD) before and the 90 minute video played perfectly. I’d appreciate a little more information if you have the time.”I don’t know if it’s necessary since I’ve never tried the workflow you’re doing, but I would try it as one step of the problem solving process to see if it works. I would open your project, and while that’s open, open a new Vegas project. Then copy the 29.97 fps footage from your current project to the blank one, and render that out to 23.97 to closely match the original video as far as resolution, bit rate, and codec. Now, ordinarily I wouldn’t think that’s necessary, but if I were having this problem then I might try it.
Like John said, you could de-select “disable resample” as well. I might disagree on him there, if only because for the last five months I’ve rendered out 24 fps footage from 30 fps by using “disable resample” before rendering, and the footage looked fine. I’ve even done it with footage that went from 30 fps to 24 fps and had to be rendered in mov for a Mac editor to use for online video and didn’t have any problems there. So that’s just my experience.
But if you’re having different results, you may want to change things like that as a method of isolating what the problem is. You can render the project out a few different ways, only changing one thing each time, in your further tests.

I just noticed your project settings as well-you may want to put all the 30 fps footage in another Vegas project, render it out to 24 fps (while again disabling the resample on all the video), then putting that into your 24 fps project.
-
Did you disable resample on all the video events that aren’t 24 fps already? That’s the first thing I’d do, and you would do that in the project. If you don’t, Vegas will try to blend together the extra frames to make the video 24 fps, which will give you a bunch of artifacts. Perhaps that’s what’s causing your problem.

What are the media properties of the footage you’ve made in Photoshop that you’re putting in your Vegas project? I’ve never worked with Photoshop, but that would be the first thing I’d check. If it’s been changed from 24 fps, then Photoshop did something to it.

Not that I’m aware of. Vegas can indeed render to 422, though, both with an Avid plugin (that’s free to download) or in one of the profiles for mpeg2 rendering.

Vegas can’t control this unless you’re making a DVD, in which case, you would avoid putting any chapter stops.

Steve gave the answer. It’s very simple, I’ve done it, and it works.

That’s pretty simple to do. Shooting that video takes a lot more preparation and proper equipment than editing it in Vegas and getting it to look how your link does. If you’re shooting on a DSLR, as it appears that the wedding video you linked to was shot on, at least if it’s a Canon, then I set my picture setting to “Neutral” which helps decrease dynamic range while shooting, giving the video more flexibility when you color grade it afterwards. Otherwise, you’re more locked into how you shot it with one of the other picture profiles, and the colors tend to break down with even a little adjusting.
And if you have the software for a Canon DSLR you’re shooting on, I’ve read about videographers who will use it to reduce the dynamic range further in the camera while shooting so that everything’s sort of flatter and grayer while shooting, but the benefit of that is the highlights don’t blow out as easily and you don’t crush blacks as much while shooting. This lets you adjust all of that more easily while editing.

Not that I’m aware of. What are your render settings for mp4? Sony AVC or Mainconcept have worked well for me for YouTube.

I shot on an HV30 and used Vegas 8 for a while and never had a problem like this. I did, however, encounter a problem just like this when dealing with Cineform AVI files on Vegas 11. It would change the PAR on all footage from 1.33 to 1.
Though Vegas 8 was by far the most stable build of Vegas I’ve ever used, with 9 being a close second, I suppose I’d recommend upgrading.
