Andy,

I have a Popcorn Hour (PCH-A210) and I use the following.

For Vegas:
Main Concept AVC/MP4
Main
Progressive

I prefer to use Handbrake:
Level 3.0
AAC for audio or AC-3 pass-thru

OK Russ, thanks.

So, you’re saying that the project properties is what sets the resolution and then when you add an effect that is done after the resolution change ?

And just to make sure I’m right on this. If you used Project Properties to “Match” the value(s) of your source video and then applied effects the only time a resolution change would happen…..is if you changed it in the render custom settings.

Right ?

Thank you both for your replies.

re. Grazie

I’m very aware that garbage in = garbage out. But, you have to work with what you have. That’s why I need to increase the resolution and then (to some degree) clean it up for presentation.

Either I’m incredibly dense, or you both evaded my question. It’s my fault for the initial “long winded-ness”. Here’s the short versions of the same question I had:

1) Does Vegas apply the plugin video effect before or after a resolution change ? (Russ you probably answered this…I think)

2) How would you change resolution and then sharpen (or for that matter use any video effect) ?

Thanks again,

Mike
