OK, well… Sony has a problem with their nomenclature, if you ask me. The “Pro Pack” is just Platinum bundled with some other programs.
And it turns out that only the TRUE Vegas Pro (the $550 version) has the ability to customize the settings for MainConcept.
It’s exasperating that the ONE feature that will keep my video from looking crappy on YouTube would cost an additional $335!
Can someone help me out here? Is there a way to render high-quality output from Vegas Platinum that YouTube won’t compress into chunks? My project is set for 1440x1080x32, 29.970i, best rendering, no interlace. I have tried many rendering settings, all of which produce decent-quality video until YouTube gets a hold of it.
