Thank you for the quick reply Mr Rofrano! Wow.

So did I make a mistake by importing Lagarith encoded files directly into Vegas to start editing?

I have the total project finished and I just rendered the project (composed of lagarith encoded files) out as a lossless x264vfw .avi file, but If you can believe it It’s still not the quality Im looking for (on youtube). The rendered video is astonishingly beautiful but then I upload to Youtube and the overall quality looks the same as my previous x264vfw but at a much much much lower bitrate. (a 150kBps looks the same as a 50kBps. Same encoded files).

I feel like a conversion should have been made at some point along the line…

(Sorry if this sounds confusing I can take screen captures if that will help, or show you the videos directly from my accnt).

Appreciate any response from you

Edit: This is the video I would like to replicate

And this is my video (2nd), im trying to replicate the above videos quality.This is my video

My rendered, pre-uploaded video looks just as nice as his youtube video so Im certain its a codec thing.

The only possible explanation is that this guy recorded at 4k 60fps and downscaled to 1080…. but the machine needed to do that is just… I doubt thats what’s happening here.
