For a lengthy project it makes sense to work on segments saved with appropriate file names (xxxxx.veg) and then put these segments into the proper sequence for the finished full video, and then render it all.
My understanding is that these *.veg files contain simply information and instructions about the original video clips (name and location) as well as all of the editing information performed.
When you import such files there are only 2 options:
Files / Import >> Media
Files / Import >> Media from Project Files
When I am ready to build a finished sequence of these "chapters" the program stops to render them, I was thinking that perhaps the render is simply for the playback on the computer and would have no effect on the quality of the final render to create the finished video file which I would either upload or burn to optical media.
However, for video that consisted of credits with text created using the Rolling Display etc. the smaller text (12 to 14 points) resulting final video was horribly degraded, fuzzy, and difficult to read with either 720p or 1080p HD internet rendering.
I assume all video is degraded but one can best see the degradation with smaller text.
To get around this I had to fully re-create the credits, rather than import prior segments created and saved as xxxx.veg files. Hence my speculation that the poor final rendered quality was because the final render was made from a prior render rather than from the saved *.veg files.
Am I doing something wrong? Or is this how it was designed to work? I find it almost inconceivable that it was designed this way. It's like having a word processor that you use to write separate chapters, saving each, but when you paste these saved chapters into a long sequence that makes up an entire book, the text is degraded when you print (render) them. The only way to avoid this is to write all of the chapters in single file.
Thanks for clarifying this matter.
