Smart Resample/ Resample and other s**t

AveSatanas wrote on 12/31/2019, 6:30 PM

Ive watched alot of videos on youtube about vegas pro being a beginner video creator and they always say "Disable resample". In these videos i see it takes alot of the "slower motion" or as i would call it "motion blur" away from the scene.

I disable the "motion blur" setting in game so i wont need to worry about it and i hate it anyway but i do have a few questions...

1. If motion blur in my games setting is turned off, do i need to disable resample?

2. what is resample? and what can it be effectively used for? (i mean it wouldnt exist for nothing right?)

- all my knowledge comes from youtube tutorials and i like to talk about this stuff to actual creators/ not Youtubers, as all the videos are the same and they all say the same thing so. Is it true what they say? Should i disable resample?

You should start reading instead of just viewing.

Hint, if you’re not changing frame rates or de-interlacing, it matters less.

thanks @john_dennis im at a steady 60 so im guessing it wouldnt matter :)

Normally you always leave smart resample active, because it only will be automatically used when it's needed, that's why it's called "smart". Some people do not like the result of smart resampling, which is smoothening the picture when the project frame differs from the footage framerate, this by generating extra frames. The result is some ghosting or motion blur. This normally only happens when a you're combining footage with different framerates or when you change the speed of a clip (fast or slow motion). When you deactivate smart resampling, no extra frames are generated in above cases, which can result in a choppy picture. You have to experiment which result you like more.

combining footage with different framerates are common so there is always ghost.

The footage of my cameras have all the same fixed framerate (50fps) so I don't see a reason to deactivate resampling or believe that combining different framerates is common.

In some cases when I used different framerates, like my former actioncam which recorded in 48fps, I rather like to speedup the 48fps to 50fps instead of resampling. Also in that case there is no need to disable smart resampling.
