I tried the latest go-pro studio without luck, looks like re-encoding will do.
I trying to render the project now in computer rgb levels (I would have used sRGB but some effects I’m using are glitching during render at sRGB and not cRGB even with GPU acceleration turned off on both vegas and the effect itself) with the Cineform codec but I can’t seem to configure that in Vegas, I heard that an older version of the codec has the levels setting available in Vegas.

I’ve tried uninstalling the Panasonic DV codec and it seems to have no effect on the issue, I use this codec in Virtualdub for encoding, I’ll try the Cineform codec in the latest GoPro Studio and see how that goes, thanks for the tip John,

John, nice to know one version of the Cineform codec that works with DV, Neoscene HD doesn’t seem to be around anymore, do you know if there is a place to download your particular version? Thanks,

I guess conversion is probably the more realistic solution, but I’ll try the updated codec to see if it works. Initially I thought it was the Panasonic DV codec causing the problem but it wasn’t, anyway thanks Steve,

Hi John, Steve,
if either DV or Cineform footage are on the timeline, they play full speed on Best(Full), cineform version is 2.0.1.319, if both formats are on the timeline, even if the events are muted, Vegas would hang during playback.

John,
I understand that for interlaced sources I shouldn’t have the project’s deinterlace method
set to None, I was only trying to describe what I saw in the preview (at Best|Full)
with a 50p timeline:

Deinterlace method None: both fields in same frame (has interlaced lines artifacts)

Deinterlace method Interpolate Fields:
Smart resample: fields separated into individual frames with frame sequence A,B,C,D,E,F,G…
Disable resample: same as above(i.e. no interlaced line artifacts) but with frame sequence
A,A,C,C,E,E,G,G,…

If Deinterlace and Resample don’t affect each other, I assume that by setting the
deinterlace method to Interpolate Fields, the interlaced source should be
deinterlaced where each field has its own frame (i.e. from AB,AB,CD,CD,EF,EF,…
to A,B,C,D,E,F,… assuming it is in a 50p timeline), but maybe I’m just picky
this time…

Hi John,
Thanks for replying, I understand that 50i is 25 frames/50 fields per second and will deinterlace to 25p, I know that interpolating fields from the 50i source to a 50p timeline produces no unwanted blending usually, but I’m not sure if the resample switch has correlation to the behaviour of discarding frames made after field interpolation/doubling.

For example, if I set Deinterlace method to None in a 50p timeline, the 50i source would show up interlaced regardless of resample switch(i.e. unseparated fields in the preview), when I set to Interpolate Fields and Disable Resample on the event, the preview is deinterlaced correctly to fields (i.e. no interlaced lines) but it reverts to 25p (i.e. only 25 of the 50 frames per second made from field interpolation remain), I think this is part of Resample’s nature if there’s no other explanation for it.

Hi Dave, I found the Quicktime Animation codec in lossless mode @ 1080@50p seems to play much more smoothly in Vegas compared to Lagarith (30fps compared to 5fps), using Cineform at the moment, is Sony’s Huffman lossless codec included in Vegas already or is it separate?

[Rick Anvican]

Hi Norman,
I have the Cineform codec working, perhaps I’ll have a go at that one,
the final render would be output 16:9 with letterboxing anyway, so I’ll
see how that goes with other codecs that don’t support custom resoultions,
Lagarith’s a bit slow to preview in Vegas at higher resolutions.
Thanks.

Thanks for the tip, Andreas, I’ll have a go at it.
