I hope someone can help. I am still using Vegas 4. I can't afford to upgrade so I need the help with 4.

I created a project that is primarily graphics (many logos sliding and flying back over backgrounds).

This project had 5 segments, each around 5 to 10 seconds. The client needed QT uncompressed because the finish is being done in his Avid.

I built each segment and render to QT Uncompressed Lower Field First.

I then assembled the segments using the QT files with transitions between. Vegas kept telling me that the files were Upper Field First. So I told it to ignore that. I then rendered this project to another QT Uncompressed Lower Field first. I also rendered an Upper Field First version just in case.

When I import this into the AVID (with lower field first option), it imports with fields reversed. Very staccato jumpy graphics and video. If I import using Upper Field First option, it looks fuzzy.

Okay, no problem I will use the Upper Field version. Same problems except this time Upper Field is staccato and lower field import is fuzzy.

So I import the original edited segments before they were assembled. Set Avid to Lower Field First and the import is fine.

So for some reason when using these QT Lower Field files on the Vegas timeline, it gets confused about field order and will not render correctly.

Any ideas?
