Best Workflow for Mixing Video Sources in VEGAS Pro 22

Galerna wrote on 7/11/2025, 7:07 AM

Hello.

I recently started editing with Vegas again, and a question came up regarding how to work with different types of video sources.

If I have several videos with different resolutions and formats/extensions, is it advisable to convert them to a single format to work with them?

If so, which program would you recommend, and what would be the most suitable conversion format to use with Vegas Pro 22?

How would you recommend working in order to achieve the best possible results in terms of Quality and Format?

Regards.

@Galerna To get the best answers please give us details of your video sources - image size, framerates.

Also what is your intended destination - YouTube/Vimeo etc, TV, disc.

Also, what would be helpful is if you could add to your forum profile under 'My Signature' a rundown on your computer and camera(s) details - as an example, click on the blue Signature link at the bottom of this comment.

In general I'd just use them as is unless you have problems. Footage that can be problematic include screen recordings with variable framerates or in containers like MKV; highly variable framerate phone footage; difficult to decode formats like 10-bit 422, etc.

For troublesome footage I like ShutterEncoder to re-encode or remux files. https://www.shutterencoder.com/

Mixing different resolutions is no problem, mixing different framerates could be a problem.

Well, you need to standardize on something. I'd suggest the framerate of your most used media and a resolution no lower than your output resolution (HD?) In the future try to at least match framerates and aspect ratio or if it's archival footage just accept it won't look quite right when upscaled/ framerate changed to match current footage.

I would set project and render settings to 1080p59 and experiment with resampling mode set to frame blend.
