Okay thanks for that, I’ll give those changes a try and post an update in a while. And you are correct in that the origional footage remains crystal clear throughout.
Another thing I might point out is that the file I uploaded to YouTube is wmv. It is still pretty clear offline and looks very good quality aside from the colouring issue however, after uploading to YouTube it is becoming blurred. Can only imagine that YouTube doesn’t like my file format which is why I’m trying to find an alternate rendering format for YouTube.
They recommend avc h264 which I’m not sure how to get in Sony Vegas.
