  RE: How to Improve Video Export Quality in VEGAS Pro?
  MagixAVC with Mainconcept is fine with enough bitrate. I'm less impressed with QSV. For final renders I often use x264 through Voukoder with a CQ of 19 or so. Using too low CQ settings, can/may result in very/too high peak bitrates in scenes with

  RE: XAVC S HD
  It's not a trivial question to answer. Start with the Magix AVC presets that match your resolution and framerate. If you see compression artifacts where there are areas of high detail or motion increase the maximum. MagixHEVC presets are on the

  RE: Audio drag delay
  Okay, but did it start (the issue) in build 403? Or was it already there in 370 (the previous build). When you drag, is the 'event' following your cursor (at a distance, like slow motion) or not moving at all?In my case (and others) knobs and

  RE: Vegas from Sony to now
  Recording at 200fps just to downsample to 60fps doesn't work, as 60 doesn't divide into 200. You are losing frames unevenly, which actually creates judder, and reduces the quality of the final render because a conversion is having to take place.

  RE: How do I resize and position an image?
  Pan Crop is far better than track motion for resizing despite its limitations, because it treats the image at its native resolution. Which is why you use it to CROP an crop (i.e. zoom in on the clip). To then resize it (smaller) and position it,
