Great advice. Thank you very much.

When would one use square vs. non square pixels? Maybe I need to go back to my original intent. My end game is to play my rendered file on a mac and view on an attached projector in a 4:3 format. I’ve found our macs handle the mp4 formats very well, mpgs not so much so I tend to always render out to mp4s. We also burn these files to a DVD for playing through that medium.
What is a good initial project template and what would be a good render template? If you could provide some suggestions I would be greatly appreciative. -
That worked perfectly! I played around with the Boris cartoon effect but could not get what I wanted. This one had a preset that nailed it.
Thanks! -
Actually I’m looking more at how to change my dancers into saturated color cartoons. A good pic is at

Check out the picture on the right where the girl is very saturated with color.
A good video with some moving examples is at

There are a couple of good examples right at the 50 second mark.
BTW.. It is obvious that you do not have any girls between the age of 6 and 15 in your house!

Figured it was probably not a good idea.
Thanks

Thanks John. Yea… I knew I was talking about publication to a 4:3 device but I sure didn’t say that. Lesson learned. Now that my frame of reference is corrected, everything makes sense. Again, thanks.

Your description sounds like what I would have expected if I pushed my 16:9 video into the widescreen template. I would have thought the render would insure that the aspect was correctly accompanied by adding the bars at the top and bottom. Unfortunately, now I’m really confused.
if I play my 16:9 video on a 4:3 set, how does the widescreen vs. normal templates look different?
Unfortunately I don’t have any 4:3 sets at my disposal any more but I know my project will be playing on a 4:3 projector so I really want to get this right.
Thanks for the help by the way!

So if I have a 16:9 project and try to use the regular (non widescreen) template, my aspect will be off? Basically all my talent would look tall and skinny using the normal template?

Thanks for the great information. Just what I needed to get to the next issue…

After a little more thought, I figured out why I was losing the effects that were applied to video in the project window. When my PC was rebuilt, the drives my video were stored on were remapped to different drive letters. When the project was first opened, vegas prompted me to locate the new files. After I selected the new location, the effects disappeared. This behavior can be reproduced by just relinking any video in the project window to a new location. Definitely a bug that I will report to Sony.
