Hi Douglas.
I really don’t anderstand your answer. Maybe this was intended for another e-mail or I may have misunderstood something.

The issue here is that when you use video event fx there seems to be now way of rendering to a new file with an acceptable result. The rendered video is much softer and less detailed. Its not codec and file type dependent, the redered result is always softer.

If you do the exact same process but uses Media fx the rendered result is visually identical to what you see on the timeline.
You don’t have to do an uncompressed rendering (to a huge file). I’m using neoscene codec and the result is very good indeed.

I haven’t found any description of this problem so there is possible something Im doing wrong here?.

The 4k thing in your answer is a mystery to me I I’m talking 550,D H.264 as described in the mail and of course I’m looking at a 1920 x 108 monitor.

Hello video gurus!
Let me answer my own post. I may have misunderstood something fundamental but ther is a huge diferense between video event fx and media fx.
Firstly the same setting docent give the same result but more important Is that it’s HUGE differs in quality when redering with the effects.
If I’m right here its no way to rendering a video event to a new file with the quality of the video event as it is displayed on the timeline. Rendering a video event vill always produce a result that Is significantly softer.

When using media fx things work as expected and the effects looks like they do when played from the timeline.

What’s even better is that I can use the cineForm codec wich produces excellent results fast and with reasonable fill size.

Strange that I haven’t found this information on the net, and in the Vegas manual. Is this common knowledge to you all? I’m pretty new to Vegas.
