Thanks for both of your replies guys,

John, thanks that did the trick!

Phil, My problem wasn’t so much that the still images didn’t fit the aspect ratio and needed cropping, it was that they were already fitted to my project for HD setting (blu-ray) but when rendering to SD 16:9 there appeared tiny black margins on the left and right edges. The video was fine…but not the stills. It would seem the video adjusts automatically but the stills required un-ticking’ the ‘maintain aspect ratio’. When this was done they fitted perfectly.

Hi Steve,
My project is in 2:39 cinematic widescreen.
When I render a project out of Vegas I can customize the aspect ratio to this with the templates need for either Architect Pro, or simply internet streaming use. But I don’t want to use these formats to render to a new track otherwise I will lose some quality in compressing it?

I’m presuming the Sony MXF format doesn’t lose quality as it is not for playing on media players, but for use within a project in Vegas….but I can’t get the right settings to suit my aspect ratio??

Bob, here you will find an interesting article explaining the shutter speeds, depending on what look you are after. The interesting point being about wanting to achieve slow motion.

Yeah settings are matched with the footage. I’ve tried different combinations. I’ll try and upload a screen shot later today.

thanks

Also, If i put the same footage into another program such as Magix Video Pro X4 it plays fine and smooth with clear resolution?

Does anyone have any solutions within Vegas Pro please?

[Martin Stanesby]

No it’s not what the Canon manual says Bob.
You can push slightly either way, but I have found using a faster shutter speed will give a more jittery motion, if you like this Gladiator gritty effect during the fight scenes then fine, but it’s not for every shot. Any slower than what I stated, yes too blurry.
So these guidelines seem to work as a happy medium. Unless you can show me some footage shot at really high shutter speed ??

And just for info…no I’m not shooting handheld, but don’t rule this technique out.

Thanks for the reply Graham.
But I do not see this on other media players? The footage is clean and free from any kind of interference.
The footage I’m viewing was shot on my Canon 6D, HD and 50fps. It’s lovely quality so why this is showing up I have no idea. The thing is, with other projects using the same camera there does not seem to be this?

It interferes with editing so I need it gone.

Thanks Guys, It’s a case of getting as slow as I can before updating hardware I guess.

Also, the shutter speed is 100, this is the best speed for 50 fps, 25fps using a shutter speed of 50.

Hi Bob,
Sorry, that wasn’t necessarily correct what I said. The 6D has an option to shoot in IPB or ALL-I, IPB being the better compression method for video editing and higher quality. IPB is what is use, both for 25 and 50fps. So there is no issue regarding the footage file when it comes to editing. So my question still remains why I can’t seem to get BCC optical flow to look any good.
I tried rendering a short clip, it almost looked as though the footage was bending/warping, I suppose this was BCC adding the frames which didn’t quite sit right.
Any clues?
