avi to tape

anything wrong with rendering to avi and then importing the avi into a new veg and printing that to tape, as oppossed to printing to tape from the original veg? the ptt seems to work much faster from a single avi file.

I would think that the quality would be exactly the same since unaltered footage would be an exact copy of the original AVI footage and just the changed scenes would be re-rendered. This is actually a good strategy if you have a lot of composite work since Vegas 3 doesn’t take advantage of the pre-rendered video clips when its prints to tape. It does a full re-render every time. I think that Vegas 4 does uses the pre-rendered clips (if you make them) so you shouldn’t have to do this with Vegas 4.

No, there is nothing wrong with that. Usually, I'll create a project in sections and fully render each section. Then, I'll make a final project from those sections to PTT. This is essentially the same thing except I will have a few transitions to render where the sections meet.
