I certainly don’t invite snark lightly. I’ve tried a number of the solutions provided by this forum with no apparent affect and probably got the best answer for future renders on the OBS site (convert to another format before importing to Vegas). I hail-Mary’d a few other codecs and found that just using the Sony AVC/MVC codec instead of the Main Concept worked to salvage the work I’d already done. It wasn’t as clean as the preview in Vegas but it didn’t look like a tile wall anymore which is good enough for now.
Thanks for your help though.
