Disable resample vs Use Vegas Project resample mode on video clips

marcinzm wrote on 2/20/2021, 1:44 AM

Hello,

I always used Project resample mode as a default for my Vegas projects.

When I wanted to to add video clips which differs from the my goal output file fps, then I modify these videoclips settings and set Disable resample.

But I see that better solution in my case would be to have Disable resample settings set as a default.

1) Can you agree with me?
Then, I wouldn`t have to change sample rate for most of my video clips.
2) What settings do you prefer the most and what settings you have as a default for sample rate?

3) Is it possible to change sample rate to the Disable sample rate and set it as a default for Project or globally for all projects in Vegas?

4) Does Dsiable resample keep the higher video quality for output files than when I would used a Project sample mode? Does Disable resample have impact on quality by the way?

Thank you for your comments

Regards

Marcin

In recent versions of Vegas you can change resample mode at the project level to "disable resample." If you check "start all projects with these settings" it will become the default so you don't have to set it every time.

Personally I try to avoid mixing frame rates. I shoot most things at 24p and if I have clips I want to do slow motion with shoot them at 30p or 60p and then "add at project frame rate" for slow motion. Sometimes I'm given 30p clips so I have to choose to do a 30p project or just deal with them on a 24p timeline which can be choppy. Vegas resampling makes it blurry though with the interpolated frames so it's still not a great solution for me

Some more info here.

Yes, I know. I always as a European citizen record 25p or 50p mostly,, but my commor frame rate is 25p but sometimes I put giphy.com videos to my output video and such videos have different frame rate.
But I have a question. If you have i.e. only 30p video footage, do you set "disable resample" or "use project resample" settings for these content?

@marcinzm
The needed setting can also be made on event level through rightclick:

If all your footage is the same frame rate (or a mix of 25p and 50p) I'd stick with the project-level setting of disable resample.

I prefer to leave smart resampling enabled, because it becomes only active when framerates differ from projectframerate. When slowing or speeding a clip by stretching, I prefer resampling. For other framerate mixing situations I prefer like @RogerS to add them at projectprojectframerate which also doesn't activate smart resampling when enabled.
