I have been working with editing/rendering my 1440X1080i m2t captures from a Canon XH-A1 using Vegas 7.
In order to add titles, transitions, additional audio and stitch the scene captures together, I have to render the raw 1440X1080i m2t captures back to a 1440X1080i m2t file from the timeline.
I have the quality slider set to 31, as high as it will go (which I have to reset every render, frustrating), but I am still getting a little degradation of the video. On scenes with titles, pixelation is obvious around the title text, on scenes that had nothing done to them, they are very good but do appear to have a little degradation and desaturation.
My question; would I be a good candidate to upgrade to Vegas 8 and does smart render in V8 leave unedited video untouched?
Any suggestions are welcome.
FYI, the 1440X1080i m2t files are the end product I am looking for. They are converted to a PS (m2p) file in another program for burning to HD media.
