New to the Video side of Vegas, shooting with sony mini-DV and making/posting to web, 3-5 minute music video clips. I am having trouble getting the look that I want.
I have video here

if you want to see what I've been getting so far. Clip 1 is good looking. clip 10 is not. Other are in between.
Problem is, I try lots of wmv templates and custom variations, but always wind up with either way too big a file, or too crappy video. Hard to find in between.
I would like to reduce the Screen Size of my video, so they can be sharper/smaller, but can't seem to do it. When played back in Win Media Player, they are always full size when I've tried to render at lower, say 320x240 size. They stay big and grainy instead of smaller and sharper.
I like to keep music about 160 - 192...good quality.
Any suggestions on getting smaller clearer picture and reduce file size?
thanks much.
