I’ve had really good results with the Quicktime Animation codec (since it is designed for this kind of work) but a sequence of targas is equally as good. Just make sure you get the Pixel Aspect Ratio correct. If 3D Studio max is rendering square pixels and your Vegas project is using non-square pixels you’ll have to alter the 3D render settings to compensate.

Also, there are two MPEG4 encoders, Sony AVC and MainConcept AVC, do both of these have no templates? If it’s just the MainConcept AVC and MainConcepot MPEG-2 that are missing templates, then it might be that some other software on your system has corrupted (or uninstalled) the MainConcept codecs? (just a shot in the dark)

Have you changed you default Windows font size or screen DPI to something other than the default? If so, that could be your problem. Change it back and see if it helps.

Also some codecs require the resolution to be evenly divisible by 8 and 900 doesn’t divide evenly by 8 so it must pad the picture with black pixels to make an even 8 pixels for the encode.
Try using 1/2 the normal resolution 960×600 and see if that encodes better. That’s still a good size for web delivery.

> Core2 Quad, 9650/ 3.0GHz
You should be very happy trading up from a 2.13Ghz DualCore to a 3.0Ghz QuadCore. That’s a LOT more power. 4GB of memory is minimal but OK. You might want more than 160GB of extra storage depending on how big your projects are. Overall, not a bad trade.

It could be from a mismatched frame rate. What is the frame rate of the camera and what is the frame rate of the project and final render? If they are not the same, this could cause ghosting. The low quality may be from a low bitrate. Flowing water is one of the hardest things to represent at a low bitrate so that is definitely working against you. Try matching the frame rate and increasing the bitrate of the render.

I don’t know what Boris’ plans are. I cannot get Boris RED to work in Vista 64 at all let alone Vegas Pro 9.0 and Boris said they don’t support Vista 64 so they have not been much help. I’m very disappointing with their support (or lack of it) 🙁

Vegas does not handle the mp4 format from YouTube videos. You need to encode them into some other format first that Vegas can edit. Otherwise you will never get rid of the green blocks. Use a tool like Super(c) to re-encode them into Huffyuv, Lagarith, MJPEG, DV, or any other codec other than MP4.

It is currently not possible to add your own Lower Thirds but if you think that would be a useful function we can certainly take it as a feature request. 😉

Did you draw the mask that you want with the mask tools? Also you can reverse the mask by changing the mode from positive to negative.
