Help Event Pan Crop Distortion

4gospeltruth wrote on 2/26/2010, 7:25 PM
I am using Sony Vegas Pro 8, and when I try to zoom in on an image or pan an image (photos usually), I get extreme distortion in the form of moving wavy lines in the image as it zooms or pans. This causes the entire zoom/pan effect to look unprofessional to say the least. The problem is especially noticeable on horizontal surfaces or lines. The worst is when trying to zoom in on a map or a photo that includes text. The distortion is unbelievably irritating and distracting from the focus of the photo. But, even on regular photos, paintings or pictures, you cannot zoom or pan without distortion. Please can anyone help me? I have tried changing the keyframe setting to smooth and have tried to adjust every other setting available, but it makes virtually no difference. Keyframe interpolation set to 100 helps only slightly. Am I doing something wrong, or is Sony Vegas a dud in this area?

Do your wavy lines show up in the render?
Set your default rendering quality to "Best."
You can do this in the Project Properties, or in the top page of your Render Properties.

Note: You must always use Best rendering quality when event pan/crop, track motion, resizing, or certain other effects are used in Vegas.

Ditto the same questions as above plus these?
What's the size (pixel resolution) of your project? 1920 x 1080? .. 720 x 480?
What's the size (pixel resolution) of your images?
What settings is your preview screen on? Draft/? Preview/? Good?

I had the same problem and found a solution. I think it is to do with using interlaced source content or rendering to an interlaced format (or both) . To solve the problem I went into project properties ( File / project properties) and set the full resolution rendering quality to "best" and (more importantly) set the deinterlace method to "interpolate fields". This fixed the problem for me. I also did some tests and found that even with this setting vegas only de interlaced and re interlaced when absolutely necessary, i.e. during effects like zooming etc, so this wouldn't reduce image quality by de and re interlacing except when it needed to.
