when i transfer footage to vegas 5 there are thin white lines that appear when there is movement. it seems like a motion problem. it has never happened to me before. whenever the camera moves a lot or the object moves it has some kind of blur effect but it is thin white lines. anyone know what the deal is?
thanks

It would suggest that you are watching interlaced footage on a computer monitor. Do you see these lines on an external monitor?
Can you post a screen shot of what you're seeing?

The key is "displayed where?"
On a television? Or on a computer monitor? If it's footage shot from a DV camera, it's interlaced, most likely. Viewing interlaced footage on a computer monitor will usually display horizontal lines in detail and high action. Once you view this on a normal television, this all goes away.
To capture a screen shot, click the small floppy disk icon in the preview window with the screen settings at Best/Full. Then post it to a website, and put the link here on the forum in a post.

Could the fields be reversed? Try changing the field from lower to upper (or vice versa) for a couple of events, render, and view, and see if the problem is still there.
