My apologies for not replying sooner, have been very busy lately. Here is what I am referring to:

Sometimes they lock together as the project plays back, and other times the black line remains in the same spot during playback, and is movable by clicking around the timeline. I appreciate your patience, please let me know if you know why this is!

[Graham Bernard] “Locate WHERE the VST (Program) resides? It could still be a VST, but you aren’t rescanning the correct folder.”

I actually hadn’t done this, but copied the files to a seperate VST folder. Tried setting it to C:\Program Files(x86)\iZotope, C:\Program Files(x86)\iZotope\SonyVocalEraser, C:\Program Files(x86)\iZotope\SonyVocalEraser\win32 and no dice.

[Bob Peterson] “Is it a 32 bit plug-in? If so, it probably won’t work in SVP 13 which is a 64 bit application.”

Taking a look at the names of the folders it installs itself to, this is probably true.

[John Rofrano] “The other possibility is that iZotope has restricted it’s use to just Movie Studio.”

Yeah, that’s probably also true. I guess for the time being I’ll just install PE 11 for when I have to use this plugin. Thank you all!

[Sean Mcnally]

It must not be, tried it and it didn’t work.

[Sean Mcnally]

Thanks for the clarification! So does the graphics card make any difference at all then? For example, would I see a difference in performance with a more expensive laptop that has both an i7 processor and dedicated graphics?

Try playing it in VLC media player, or just dragging it into Google Chrome to play it. I’ve sometimes had this issue with Windows Media Player and certain formats.

Alright, thanks. One last thing, if I’m rendering at 24p, is there any benefit to shooting at 60fps, or should I set the camera to 24 or 30 fps next time?

[mark thompson] “on your project properties you have a de-interlace mode set for progressive footage. I don’t think you need that and it may be doing some harm, i.e. contributing to the jagged lines. Set it to where it should be for progressive footage, i.e. none.”

Tried this, did not fix the issue.

[John Rofrano] “Was that image taken from DVD Player software of just Windows Media Player because WMP might not be smart enough to deinterlace the footage.”

It was taken from VLC media player. I could manually turn on the de-interlace feature during playback in VLC, but that makes motion blurry, which is not what I want for this project. The reason the de-interlace lines look so big is because I cropped the screen-grab to emphasize what you should be looking at.

[John Rofrano] “Right-click on one of the clips on the timeline and select Properties and go to the Media tab and post a screen shot of the media properties. I’d like to see how Vegas Pro is interpreting your footage.”

Here you are:

[mark thompson] “If you want to post a short clip somewhere it will be easier for others to help resolve the problem.”

If I render it out normally it will look fine, it’s only when it renders in DVD format that it looks this way.

[Sean Mcnally]

Disabling resample and loweriing the project framerate didn’t solve the problem. The only choices for rendering to DVD at 720×480 16:9 are 60i or 24p. Rendering at 24p gets rid of the interlacing, but it’s 24fps, which negates the whole point of shooting at 60fps.

Edit: If it helps, here’s a picture of what I’m seeing in the finished product at 60i

[Sean Mcnally]

Here’s the picture. BTW, I wasn’t ragging on Vegas in my OP, its been my NLE of choice for years, I just can’t figure out why it’s putting out the footage this way.

Thanks, the renaming method worked. As for Aleskey’s method, I’ve heard of that before. Is the quality really that big of a difference? Also, when you mention command line, are you referring to a mac/linux’s terminal, or a Windows command prompt? I’m using a windows machine. Since this is a project that will be used for broadcasting, I might want to look into the ffmpeg option…
