Vegas 4.0 rendering blurry versus Vegas 3.0.

DwSw wrote on 7/7/2003, 10:13 PM
All swiches and settings kept equal (btw V3.0 and V4.0):

When I render the same project using the same template under Vegas 3.0 versus Vegas 4.0, the resulting video from Vegas 4.0 is blurry when compared to Vegas 3.0.

I have turned on bypass motion blur -- should be moot since I never selected/inserted an envelope.

Is there a switch that I accidentally set (or was default in V4.0 but not in V3.0) that would affect video clarity.

Thanks for your help.

DwSw.

Vegas 4, by default, has auto-resample turned on. You may not have had resample turned on in V3. This could be one difference.

How do you turn it off, by default ?

I hadn't checked the "auto resample" thing that jetdv mentioned but I'll agree that the Vegas 3 templates did not seem to work properly in V4 when I upgraded. I just modified the V4 templates instead. I even called them "V4 whatever etc" so that I would know not to use the V3 ones. The effect is rather like rendering at 360 x 240 instead of 720 x 480.

I forgot to mention in my first post that I tried that too. And I have simplified and am only rendering a text window to save time and reduce variables.

I compare all video variations (switch combinations) in the 4.0 project editor -- line them up and turn one off versus the other and look at the video in the video preview window.

One would expect the resulting files to be identical if all of the switches are the same. However, the relative difference between VV3.0 and VV4.0 rendered files is noticable: 3.0 clear, 4.0 blurry.

My projects span the upgrade. I don't want to start from scratch.

Would you recommend that I continue to edit the video and render in VV3.0 or create a new, empty project in VV4.0 and cut and paste the contents of VV3.0 to VV4.0?

Is the problem encountered when a VV3.0 project is opened in VV4.0? Maybe something is lost in the translation. The project is modified by VV4.0 and unreadable by VV3.0.

FWIW & all...

Only time i've noticed a real difference is where vegas creates or calculates new frames, whether as tweeners or composites etc., and then it acts as if it might use the same engine as supersampling which tries to average things out a bit.

Interesting. It does appear that it is averaging the sequence. "Averaging" is more descriptive than blurry.

However, resampling is off. Is it possible the V4.0 is forcing a resample when the project is converted from 3.0 to 4.0?
