Mike:

I think that was the problem. The intensity must have been to high causeing the flux. I’ts looking better now with no noticable blooming effect. Thank you for your assistance

Best regards

Thank you for responding. I went back and checked that but no, nothing is keyed except the very first keyframe. I did notice though while playing around that this problem seems to be mostly when brighting up colors, or adding contrast to a clip and it’s only on the background lighting. I used the color correcor with the wheels and I didn’t notice it, at least on first look. When I got the best picture using filters,(A little brighter and more contrast) that’s when I noticed it more. It’s like a fade out and in of the background only, not the face. I did also notice that if I panned in I could get different backgound lighting (After adding a filter) just by moving the pan. Move it to the right, the scene (Background)became just slightly darker, move up and it went slightly lighter. Really weird!
Thanks again

Thank you. I did download the Demo, and it looks like it is what you need to get a true 24P at least from the HV20/30 I undertsand that the HV40 handles a true 24P. Wish they would come out with a firmware fix, but they (Canon) stand by thier stance that it should be the NLE companies since they just did a workaround with the HV20 HV30 to make 24P available. Oh well, it is what it is.
Again, Thanks for the advice.
Have a good day

Thank you for your help and advice. I’m gonna try to play aound with the Media Shout Program and see what looks the best, but like you and John stated, Just making it into 4:3 may be the best option.
Thanks

Thank you again. I have a call into the owner of Media Shout, just waiting for his response. One of the guys that runs the program mentioned that Media Shout likes AVI files, but he was not sure about the PAR stuff. I’ll wait till the other gentleman calls back.
Thank you for the help.
Best Regards

Mr.Rofrano
Thank you. I just saved enough to buy another Mic, or at least a downpayment on another mic.
Thank you again

Thank you for your help, maybe my head will stop hurting now. I think using the 4:3 template will be the best way to handle it. I don’t have it in front of me, but I assume there is a 4:3 templte in this version of Vegas. If I understand you correctly, then using the
HD 1280x720p templete and 1.000 pixils will show as letterbox on the screen correct. Or is it the 1.333 (See I am still a little confused) Thank you so much for the help and advice. It is appriciated.

Thank you all for the help and suggestions. Like I stated it gets confusing reading the manual (Which is not all that great anyway) and then going through all the posts online, but the great thing is like everything else we do, we learn from our mistakes, and from others that are more experianced and as we gain that, we can later share our experiance. These forums are great, and again thank you.
I did experiment with different render settings and used your ideas and thoughts, and the end result was stunning on the computer and even the DVD came out really nice this time. It looks like it was all in the settings as you all suggested. It would appear that I used the DV settings instead of the HDV settings. Thanks again and sorry to bother you all with these questions, but you have made my project turn out great.

Thank you for your time. Being new at this I get confused and sometimes the more you read the more lost you get.
So If I have this right, I just render to a 1280x720p, that would play back nicely on a computer, but to make a DVD I have to go down to a NTSC Widescreen to get the best picture right? I went back and printed the answer John R gave me a few weeks ago. But if you use the menu sytem in DVD-A and click “Make a DVD, you may not get the best quality correct? So I guess what I have is the best it will get outside of blueray.

Thanks for your assistance
