Grass Pixelation in video

Hello,

I have always struggled with this, so decided to ask the experts. Why do I get pixilation in that grass in my video?

Here are my settings: The video rendering quality is also set at BEST Even with the GPU Acceleration on NVIDIA I still get it.

Thank you!

Use Voukoder for Vegas to get high quality renders.

Hi Kimberly!

The variable bitrate mode in MainConcept AVC doesn't allow a minimum bitrate setting, so it can dip too low when there is little action. Pixelation in the darker areas is a telltale sign of low bitrate.

You can use a different AVC encoder, I like x264 in Voukoder, --or--

you can set both the peak bitrate and the average bitrate to the same number, which will have the effect of raising the minimum bitrate. For your 1080 p60 source, I would experiment at around 40Mbps (40,000,000) or maybe higher for both peak and average bitrates.

For further help, I can test your original source clip if you'll upload it to Drive or Dropbox, not to this forum or to Youtube.

The Voukoder render format and templates appear in Vegas Pro's 'Render As ...' options:
