Hey Everyone! So, I am trying to help a guy who just bought Vegas Movie Studio Platinum 17. When he renders a video, it renders at a much smaller view size (like if you were to shrink a 1920x1080 video to a 960x540 or something) when he plays it back. So, I figured it was a matter of matching the video to the project settings and making sure the render settings matched the project settings. We got on a call and I went through all of them, line by line, to make sure his settings matched mine (I use Vegas Pro 17). We used the exact same media, exact same settings, and rendered together. His still came out smaller. The only difference between mine and his is that my Preview Window shows as 1920x1080x128, while his shows as 1920x1090x32. Not sure if that is related or not. Here is what settings he used:
He grabbed a "Large Tiles" option from Media Generators and dragged it to the timeline....

Everything is unchecked except “Stretch video to fill output frame size (do not letterbox)”. He also has tried it by unchecking this box and it doesn’t matter.
