Hello there,

Simple question really I have had Vegas Movie studio Platinum 0.8 for a while now, anyway I made a movie , when I rendered it it came out with poor quality, ecspecially in motion (moving the cam-corder around ect)

Details:

Capturade Video format: WMV
Render settings: Left the same, "Windows Media video v9"

Befor I editied the video, as in just captured it via windows capture the quality was fine, but one I had rendered it (which took 6 hours on a 41 min video, not sure if this is normal) It came out with poor quality.

Please somone help me, as Sony Vegas is a greta program and I would really love to learn how to use the basics of it.

Thanks for any help!

-Chris

P.S I'm not computer wiz and have only a basic knowledge.

Let's start with the basics....

What camcorder do you have? Make/Model

How was the camcorder connected to the computer? USB or Firewire

What program did you use to capture the video?

What program are you using to watch your rendered video?

Don't capture video to WMV, or in Movie Maker, for that matter.

What is your intended use for the edited, rendered video? DVD, Youtube, PS3, what?
The rendering templates and settings you will use depend greatly on how you intend to use the video.

Ahh right What do you think I should capture in?

I was intending to use watch the video on my PC in Windows media player, and also upload to multiple video hosting sites.

My Cam-corder is a "Panasonic mini DV NV DS27" And I'm capturing via a firewire, the program I use to capture is "windows capture" or somthing.

Thanks

Use Sony VideoCapture. It captures DV-AVI (Video for Windows) files.

"C:\Program Files\Sony\Vegas Movie Studio Platinum 8.0\vidcap60.exe"

1.) Render to MPEG-2.
If you are using DVD-Architect to burn, choose one of its templates, for ex: "DVD Architect NTSC Widescreen video stream".
2.) then render the audio to 'AC-3' with the same name to to same folder.
