Also, it appears that a slight degradation is added to the underlying layer when a sharpen filter is used on the layer above the blurred background!

Whats going on? Cant I get a full rez render that looks smooth- as it does prior to rendering?

Heres My Render to Track Settings:

AVI
BEST
Format= NTSC DV
Interleave 0.250
Feild Order None progressive (all progressive footage)

Filters preceeding blur in chain

Levels
Color Corrector
Color Curves
Gaussian Blur

Never had artifacts before when using blur. Tried on seveal clips and noticed same blocky artifacts to greater or lesser degree depending on footage

Any tips at all?

I jsut noticed something else. I have yellow text psd titles -which are all placed ABOVE all other tracks.

Render to track and the yellow text is washed out slightly compared to pre render.

This and previosly mentioned issues are making my video look quite different than it looks in the timeline and Im not sure what to do about it.

Which build/version of Vegas are you using?

I posted some stills

VV 6b build115

Sony? Anyone? Am I going to have to export all my backgrounds just to throw a blur on them??

What codec are you rendering to?
Looks like compression artifacts to me. Maybe you are rendering to a DV codec that's not the Vegas one.

You can bypass things by rendering to uncompressed (this would be correct for internet distribution) or to a lossless codec (not sure which work with Vegas).

If you like what you see in the video preview window at "Preview/Full" better than what you see in the video preview window at "Good/Full" or "Best/Full", set the video rendering quality to "Preview".

NTSC DV is definitely not "lossless". It is about a 5-1 compression.

I kind of get your point but what I see in preview looks rougly the same weather at preview good or best.

the marked differenece is in the render.


typically, I set up my FX but keep CPU hog FX bypassed while I edit. As I near complition, I enable and test with FX by rendering to track. Then I can work on the audio without my machine bogging down. Usually what I see in the render to track is what I see in preview. I can understand artifacts if I were rendering to disk in a delivery format but thats not the intention here.

Are you delivering on DV tape? If so, you can get 100% WYSIWYG previews by looping video from Vegas, into your DV camera, to your TV monitor.

No this is a multimedia project. It will only be viewd on computer. Its going out to DVD from Vegas
