I am very new to NLE and obviously do not understand file formats well enough at this stage.
I have a project (edited with Sony Vegas Pro 12) that uses video from a range of different sources, including low end ‘domestic’ video cameras and mobile phones. A real mixed bag. Some media was shot in the square format and some widescreen. For footage in the square format I used pan/crop to set at 16:9 and adjusted framing accordingly (especially if it looked as though I may lose head room).
Now I would like to render in a widescreen format.
I tried setting the Project Properties to the Internet 360-30p 16:9 (640x360 29.970 fps) template format, the Pixel aspect ratio is always 1.0000 (Square). Then I tried setting the Pixel aspect ratio to 1.3333 (HDV 1080) and was assigned the Custom (640x360) 29.970 fps) Template.
However, when I attempt to render, the ‘Render As’ dialogue box does not give me an active ’Render’ icon with either of the above.
What am I doing wrong? What settings would be best for this project?
