I'm using Vegas 5, I have a 720x480 AVI, and I'd like to simply rotate it 90 degrees to render a 480x720 AVI. I've been fiddling with crop/pan/rotate, and I read the previous thread on this subject, but I'm still lost - it seems like everything I adjust (such as the width and height of the cropping selection) produces strange side effects, and reversing whatever change I made doesn't always reverse the side effects. The basics:
1) A previous poster mentioned "local aspect ratio", but I don't find that anywhere - is that from a previous version of Vegas or something?
2) I assume the project needs to be 480x720 if I want to render my output as 480x720 - correct?
3) But if I want to bring in my source as 720x480, so that it can rotate cleanly into 480x720 without interpolation, then I need the project to be 720 wide? I'm just guessing here, because when I bring in the source in a 480x720 project, the source appears as 480x320, letterboxed within that giant 480x720 project. Or is there some other way to get the source in there at its full 720x480 resolution?
4) Ignoring the above, when I rotate the 480x320 source by -90 degrees, the left and right (the parts that appear outside of the selection box after the rotation) get cropped. So I increase the selection area such that nothing is cropped, but that just shrinks the size of the source image relative to the selection, which also seems to shrink the size of the source image relative to the final render - how do I work around this?
Many thanks in advance for whatever help you can provide,
Z
