Hi Rick,

I’m trying to duplicate your results and not having a good time with it. Everything I do comes out good. The photo and download link you provided works, but the when the photos are downloaded they are 720 HD, that is 1280×720 pixels, not the 5312×2988 pixels that you posted about previously. But even using them and upscaling the photos in PaintShopPro, or allowing Vegas Pro to upscaling them, they come out the bad pixelating in your Youtube examples.

Something else is going on here that I have yet to pin point. If I can duplicate your issue, I can work on it, but right now I have failed to get my arms around it. So, can you post some more information? Can you post a screen shot of:

– Project Properties
– Render format template and any custom settings
– A text view (using the free Mediainfo) of your drone source media
– Vegas Pro version and build number
– Type, model of your GPU

Here is the sample I uploaded using the stills I downloaded from your photo library. Keep in mind, they are 720 HD upscaled to 2160, so they are probably not as sharp as you would like, but they do not have the pixelating.

BTW: Every time I view your Youtube video that tune gets stuck in my head for hours! That’s not a bad thing, as it is a nice piece, what is the title?

Best Regards…….George

Hi Rick,

I uploaded a sample 4K video to Youtube to review, but it hasn’t posted to 4K as yet, rather 1080. When it is available in 4K I will post the link back here for you to examine.

Best Regards…..George

Hi Rick,

I need to ask a question that may help me understand better what is going on, because I may have missed this and working in the wrong direction for a solution.

Question: In the rendered file that you last posted to Youtube, were the stills pixelated on your monitor, or just when viewing on YouTube? I was going in the direction there was something happening to your video when you uploaded it to Youtube, as Youtube converts all media uploaded and sometimes does strange things to it. But after re-reading your opening post, I think this may be a rendering issue in Vegas Pro. Just want to make sure we are both working in the same direction.

When I view you video online (Youtube), I get the same results as when I view it on my system after I downloaded it. Although I only downloaded the 720 HD version, the pixelating is still there, but not in every frame, just like when I view it online. For example if you go to the 2:58:19 mark (frame number 4,287,000), the 57 Chevy 2-tone Bel-Air Nomad station wagon. From the first full frame at the end of your lead in transition, the still image looks good for 9 frames, then goes pixelated for the rest until going through the next transition, the rat rod pickup. Soon as the transition is completed on the rat rod, the image looks good for 11 frames!

Other examples I viewed, some images started out pixelated, others went 17 frames good before being pixelated, and I think there is at least one that is good through all the frames.

Now, I’m looking at a 720 HD version downloaded from Youtube and I would be extremely suspicious of this download, but I see similar result when I view your online 4K video, although I can not step through it frame at a time to be sure it is exactly the same. And of course the download is much lower resolution than your 4K original, but I am seeing the same pixelating issue comparison.

Can you upload 2 still images, and provide me with the link, so I can download them and add it to a 4K project for testing? I have 4K video footage I can use to simulate your drone footage. 2 or 3 photos should be plenty.

Thank You, and did you try turning off the GPU acceleration of video processing (Options+Preferences+Video)?

Best Regards…….George

OK, I have almost what you are describing. To be exact, put all you source media (motion and stills) in a zip file and post them so I can download. I will feed them into my project, render and post to Youtube. After you confirm it is correct, I will put the project veg file up so you can download and use it to modify to your specific needs.

Best Regards…..George

Rafal, before I send the project file, please explain about transitioning from one video to the other? I have a still as the background, is this correct or are you wanting to use a motion event instead? Does the graphic animation represent what you want? I used the still graphics you presented in your earlier post. Depending on your reply, I will make up another version when I return later this afternoon.

Best Regards…..George

Hi Elliot,

I know you have re-installed, but have you done an application reset?

Hold down Shift+Ctrl keys and double click on you Vegas desktop shortcut. A window appears asking if you want to reset all Vegas Pro preferences to default? Before you select ‘Yes’, check the box to ‘Delete all cached application data’.

This reset will set your installed version back to default installation values and delete any cached data that may be confusing Vegas.

Just a thought, this will often cure strange things!

Best Regards……George

Rafal,

Are you following my workflow, or would you like the project file to feed your own source media to try it?

Best Regards…..George

Hi Rafal,

I used Vegas Pro 15 (build 361) 1920×1080 29.970 and rendered using the Sony AVC/MVC format 720 HD.

I used the graphics you put up on Imgur. I placed them on the top track (layer 1) using the Vegas Chroma Keyer FX to pass through the black on the first 32 stills and pass through the green on the rest, so at first you see the green graphics animated, then the black graphic animated. The bottom track (layer 2), is a photo from one of my previous video projects.

So two tracks, one render. I posted it on Youtube here: https://youtu.be/ot1tL6mWEIg

Is this an example of what you are going for?

Best Regards…….George

I understand, as there is about 14 hours difference in our time zones. While you are sleeping I’ll make a sample for you to view in the morning.

Rafal,

First, I’m not impatient and I’m not a noodle, but that was funny, Thank You. The reference “No=Now” wasn’t to your reply “Well, they way you said it, seems like you haven’t quite understood what I’m going for, so give me a sec.“, rather it was to my previous post which in part I said “No insert a composite envelop on~~~“. As I can’t edit the previous post I was correcting the word “No” at the beginning of the sentence, to what it should have been “Now”, so therefore the reference No = Now. Sorry if you thought I was being impatient, which is farthest from the truth.

OK, back to the sample you provided in the zip file. As you have it in your previously posted still graphic files, if you want to animate something like that just put them on a green background, or blue or any color that will not conflict with the color of your graphics. Insert them into the top track, and run them at the speed you wish, that’s it, again 1 render is all that is necessary.

BTW, what application did you use for the example you provided? Seems to me if that example is what you want, you already have the results! Apparently you want to do this in Vegas Pro, and the graphics of your example are just that an example, not what you actually want to use in your project.

This is pretty simple animation and I do not see the need for multiple renders. Is there something else I have missed?

Best Regards…..George
