Ed,

Thanks for the response.

How large are the pieces that you are talking about from a time standpoint?

I wish that I would have had your autosave script the week before last when my problems occured. Sony just sold another copy of vegas 8 because of you.

Thanks,

Brad

Is there any way to do this in Vegas 7?

I am rendering the footage from the file menu to the standard MPEG-2 format used for DVD Architect. I haven’t even watched it using Architect yet.

When I play the rendered file in windows media player, regarless of whether it is on my laptop screen or on an external monitor, it lacks the same sharpness that it has in the vegas preview window when I play it from the timeline.

I can see no reason for this and can’t imagine that compression would result in an image that hurts your eyes due to your being unable to focus on anything.

Do I need to render it another way? I keep hearing people say things about “rendering directly from the timeline”. Would that make a difference and how would you do it? Am I not rendering from the timeline already by selecting File > Render > MPEG-2?
