It may be fixed by the 3.02 update, but I can’t say for sure. I was having some issues with my ATI card and pI 3, mainly that HQ motion blur was disabled, but it’s been fixed in the newest release. Haven’t had any HD issues.

pI only supports square pixels, you’d have to stretch it out to 1920×1080 before importing into pI to get things to look right.

Sounds to me like perhaps it’s an OpenGL or video card issue. Go into View>Preferences then click the OpenGL tab and uncheck Use Hardware Acceleration, and then close and reopen the program. Do you still have the problem?

Just Google the word Lagarith and it should come up as the first result, installation instructions should be on that stage.
If you want to save some hard disk space, you can render out PNGs rather than TGA. They’re lossless and generally much smaller.

Do you have the same problems with standard definition uncompressed clips or is it only with HD? I’d suggest using either the Lagarith or HuffyUV codecs and seeing if you get the same results. Both are lossless, so they’re fine to use for production.

There is an overlap in what the two can do, but they are very different programs. You can edit in After Effects, but it’s not ideal for it. You can composite in Vegas, but it’s not great at it. Ideally, you’d have both. I had Vegas for a long time and it was never enough to do visual effects compositing, or good titles. I’ve edited things in AE, but it’s timeline isn’t that simple to view and navigate as one that’s part of an NLE.
Vegas 6 is a good solid editor. I’m still using it as there hasn’t been that much in the last two versions that I felt I absolutely needed. If you do get the HV20, I guess you’d need the latest version to edit HDV footage.
You have to ask yourself what you want to do. If it’s effects, compositing, and motion graphics, AE is the clear winner. If you want to edit videos with the occassional effect, go with Vegas.

There’s a workaround discussed in this tutorial. Version 3.02 will take care of this without the extra step the tutorial mentions.

You just need to swap out the particle shape. Have a look at this tutorial to find out how.

Don’t think of frameserving as a traditional render. The creation of the signpost AVI should be almost instant. You save it out of Vegas, open it immediately as your background in pI, and then as you scrub the timeline, the percentage in your Vegas will change to reflect where you are according to Vegas’ timeline.

Just move the anchor point of the Blocker, it’s the one that appears between all your points when you finish putting them down.
