All 'custom image sizes' wont work ??

-160x120 is one of the choices for is one of the defaults in V4.
-That's a 4:3 ratio so I scaled it to 100x75... but Vegas rejected the 75.
-Then I tried 120x90 but Vegas rejected the 90.

-In both cases it would put a single digit in for the 2nd number.
-I experimented and found that 120x96 would work.
-I concluded that there are certain 'standard' sizes Vegas want's to render to...

Where can I find a list of these 'standard' sizes so I can avoid all the experimentation??

Thanks - Will

Depending on the file type you're rendering to, frame sizes may be limited to whole multiples of 8 or sometimes 16. 90 isn't a mulitple of 8, but 96 is. Vegas is adjusting up to the next higher multiple of 8. 120 is already a whole multiple of 8 so it isn't changed.

This usually applies to compressed formats such as MPEG because the compression algorithm looks at blocks of pixels rather than individual pixels. Uncompressed AVI formats usually don't have this limitation.

Ah Ha!

8 bits per byte... why didn't I think of that...

Thank's Chineworks
