I guess you see “interlace flickering”.
Try to slightly blur your images.

Sounds like you messed up field order.

Are you using interlaced source?
Field order in project settings, your source media files (footages)
and in the resulting mpeg should be consistent.

Most likely lower field first.

Some uncommon capture devices produce upper field first videos,
if you treat these as lower field, you get exactly the problem
you described.

Look around about field orders, and play with them.

I guess Ed means that little disk…

So you can save the video profile.
I never used that so far.

I still have to learn vegas 🙂
Thanks Ed!

How do you inport image sequences?

The way I do:
-File/import media
-look for the image with the first frame (eg. img0001.tif)
-select it, when selected there’s a checkbox below: “open still image seqence”
check this, whne necessary set the range, but this always defaults for me correct
-open
-I choose the alpha (straight-unmatted: images from PI seem to have such alpha channel, that depends on your source)
Also, here you can change the pixel aspect ratio, I usually don’ care for this,
but:
After I got it in the media pool, drag to timeline;
then in the event pan/crop I set maintain aspect ratio to “NO” and stretch to “YES”.

So the image completely fills my projects frame.

Was this helpful to you?

I hope… 😉

[DV Memories Video] “You may need an RCA splitter so you can see the game on your TV too as you play it.”

I’d recommend against this.
Video signals have to be transferred through 75Ohm cables to avoid reflections.
That means also 75ohm terminations on both ends of the cable.
If you split a video signal this way, you get a distorted video
signal with a decreased level.
You can try it.

There are so few new motherboards with agp on the market available,
so you don’t have a real choice…

Hi,

In vegas you can put almost anything on the timeline.
Be it animation, graphics, or video at the same time.
You don’t have to (you can’t) swicth to uncompressed,
as this could be a render option (at rendering you choose
the format to render to).

So, you could have your video in DV avi, your animations
in uncompressed avi/ or image sequences (tif,tga format).
your graphics could be in psd for e.g.

Put all you need to timeline, do your edit…

I would render the animations and graphics progressive
(as I do with PI).
Then when you import it into vegas, and render out to mpg
it gets interlaced as needed.

Hope I could help.

Hi,

With DVDA1,2,3 you won’t produce a DVD that has a region code,
so don’t worry about that.
I don’t know DVDA4 yet.

If you plan to send a DVD to England/Europe or other PAL
countries, it is better to make the DVD as PAL.

All desktopplayers I know can play NTSC DVDs
on PAL TV, but in this case, there are some frame rate
issues (players don’t convert frame rate in so much sofisticated way
as vegas does ;)).
Cause of this, it is a bit uncomfortable to view such a disc.

Not if a TV which is used to whatch, supports NTSC (many but not all of them does), if this is the case, playing the NTSC disc is absolutely no problem.

If you plan to send that disc to a specific person, ask him if he can play NTSC.
If you plan it to be more generally used, make it as PAL. (IMHO)

Hope I could help.
