was messing around w/ different video effects with some of my photographs and came up w/ some pretty cool stuff. the prob is that when I go to save it, the jpeg is so small that it hardly makes it worth it. is there any way to increase the size of the picture and improve the quality of the picture?

Make sure the preview window is at full size and set on best then save. That will be as good as it gets.

Also, make sure your project properties has the desired size. If you have a small image file to begin with, and your project size is larger than that, review the full/best preview setting to see if it is resizing it as desired.

You could also use a program like ”Shortcut Photo Zoom Pro” to resize your original pictures.

If you're using a large photo, make the project properties as large as possible -- one of the HD settings, most likely.

Then, make your preview window as large as possible. Move it, undock it, resize it, whatever you need to do.

The JPEG export will export exactly what's in the preview window, at the quality level and apparent size you see on the screen.

So, you want that window to be as large and as high-quality as possible.

The preview window doesn't have to show the entire frame. You can leave it postage-stamp size on the screen. Just make sure the preview is set to Good/Full or Best/Full and the entire frame will be saved even if it isn't visible.

Vegas will allow frame sizes up to 2048x2048.

That's a good point -- but the disadvantage is that you may get something you don't expect. I suggest making the window full-size so that your JPEG does match what you see. No surprises.
