corrupt rendering

Hi again,

I had a situation where when I would render a project some of the video would get all wavy during the rendering. It didn't matter what format I tried to render it in - DV, MPEG2, etc. It wouldn't always happen in the same section of video.

I could move the current trouble section to another area of the timeline and it would render fine there. I kept double checking the underlying .avi clip by running it in external players and it would be just fine. I even redumped the video a few times and got the same results.

All the dynamic ram previews that I did of the trouble sections would always work flawlessly. I tried everything from starting new projects
to rendering small pieces to a DV avi and importing them into a different
project. I kept having the same problem with seemingly random sections of video. I couldn't find a pattern.

I'm running VV 3.0c build 138.

Has anyone else seen this kinda of behavior???

Thanks in advance for any insight on this.

Pat

Describe "wavy" a little more please.

The "wavy" that I refer to is like watching the end of a flag wave in the wind. I could actually watch the video get distorted as it was being rendered.

This may seem like a stupid question, but are you sure you didn't have a wave FX applied to the track?

"It didn't matter what format"
"I could move the current trouble section to another area of the timeline and it would render fine there"
"like watching the end of a flag wave in the wind"

That's what this suggests... and it was off for all the track, except at one particular location.

I quadruple checked and turned off all FX.

Also, when I would do a dynamic preview of it, then all was fine. Only when I would do a full render did the issue show up.

Just to make sure I started new projects from scratch and still had the same issue.

I have done several other projects since this has happened and the problem has not reappeared. I'm sure it was just one of those things but it cost me a day and a half of time in trying to work around it.

Do you see this problem on a TV monitor, just the computer monitor, or both?

The problem is seen on both computer monitors and tv's. It becomes part of the actual video.

try rendering the .avi as "Best" quality if you haven't done so already.

They were rendered as best. I even tried knocking the quality back just to see what would happen - same.
