importing bloggie 3d video - audio mismatch
just noticed something....this only happens when i first move clips from the browser/explorer window (within the Vegas software) to the project media list. When I put media list items on the project timeline by dragging from the media list window, the audio ends up getting cut short. when I add clips directly to the timeline from the browser/explorer window, the audio/video clips match up....what the heck? ------------------------------- okay now that isn't true....i just went back to the software and tried working from the Vegas browser window only and now those clips are not matching up either!

do NOT buy Vegas pro 10 !
For what it's worth, I have a Win 7 64 bit running my full version and I don't have problems with the software crashing. It's generally reliable and full of awesome features...I am finally using the 3D feature, which is better than I expected.

field order
i think deinterlacing always reduces resolution...at least the way Vegas does it (interpolation or blending)

field order
If you mix upper & lower field first footage it will look really really bad for one of them. " Are you sure about his because I'm pretty certain I've done this more than once and nothing has blown up. I've always assumed Vegas just sorts it all out with no drama at all. -------------- there is a setting in the project properties...something about adjusting timeline video to best match project properties...the help file indicates that checking that option will adjust interlacing and other clip properties to match the project properties.

Uncompressed Template Help
Is it possible you are rendering the video to a higher resolution or higher bitrate than your source video?

Upgrade Discount?
yep, no current promotion is running...will hold out as long as I can...I still have my DVD architect pro 4.0 that works fine on my XP machine...will keep using that for now. Hopefully, a promotion will come along eventually :)

How to get good looking 23.98 fps from 29.97?
Is the source video progressive or interlaced? If it's progressive, I've used DVD2AVI, using the FORCE FILM option, but the video has to be greater than 95% progressive content for it to work well. If it's interlaced, that's probably best handled by avisynth scripting...Vegas' internal deinterlacing choices (blend or interpolate fields) compromise quality significantly.

Sweet! Thanks! I need this now more than ever to eliminate the gaps I am getting between clips due to frame rate issues.

Upgrade Discount?
i am a registered user and have received no upgrade notice :( I want to upgrade from Movie Studio to Vegas Pro 10 but I am holding out for a promotion ($489 is pricey for me at the moment--any savings are appreciated!). The upgrade in June I believe was for versions that were about to be superceded by the new versions just launched.

Improving render times
somewhat of a departure, but I found that there were some malware programs running on my PC and once I cleaned those up, projects that were taking 7 hours now came back to about 5 or 5 1/2 hours...my Norton didn't detect these programs (I knew something was up because my google search results kept redirecting my browser results), so I ended up using a common popular freeware program called malwarebytes to scan/clean my PC...great stuff!

frame rate
Ugh...well, it still inserts frames about every other clip, but at least now I can bring them together--before if I tried to bring them together, they'd either overlap slightly or have a space between them...but this does help! thanks again!

frame rate
THANKS! I think that's it, although I had to clean the 'project media' to get it to stop adding the frames between clips. Amazing how many things there are to learn about editing...been doing some very in-depth editing for several years with this software and this is news to me!

"selected file not the required type"
I don't think DVD Architect (or movie studio) work well (or at all) with avi files encoded with the XVID codec...i know i can add xvid-encoded videos into Movie Studio timelines, for instance, but it drops frames and exhibits other odd problems, although i can encode TO xvid in movie studio (why I don't know!). So i would assume dvd architect won't handle raw xvid-encoded .avi files either.

Vegas Movie Studio inserting blank spaces
Well, thanks to the thought shared here, I did figure out how to replicate the issue and perhaps discovered what I am doing wrong, although I am not convinced it's not a glitch. When I import 24 fps video (actually 23.9476 fps) to the timeline and the project propery is set to that frame rate, no spaces appear between the clips. If the project properties are set to 29.97 fps (NTSC/DVD/TV frame rate), and I import the 24 fps video, the clips will be spaced apart by one frame. Strange thing is, if I import the 24 fps video to a project with properties set to 24 fps and THEN I change the Project Property to 29.97, the spaces don't appear between clips--I would have expected that they would. In any event, I now know I have to make sure the project properties have to be set to the same parameters of the clips I am importing or problems will occur. Sony still should consider adding some sort of alert that would let you know when gaps have been introduced between your clips (I believe Final Cut Pro does this). Thanks to everyone for your help!

MPEG-2 Render question
I am using platinum. I am interested in 1440 x 480 because I am trying to render two side-by-side streams at 720 x 480...thus the need for 1440 x 480...I don't want the black bars at the top/bottom of the final render, which I think is what I'd end up with if I used the full HD render size you are suggesting (thanks for your help, by the way). I can do it in AVI format, but not mpeg-2...guess I'll have to find a conversion program to do it for me...Nero did it (about the only useful thing that horrid software does) but I recently lost my XP-machine (and thus the Nerovision program) so I have to find another solution.

Audio sync problem
just curious...do the video and audio streams appear to be the same length in Vegas before rendering? plekkie: Vegas renders mpeg-2 files in lower field first only, as far as I can tell

Render Setting Question
first, render the video in Vegas Movie Studio to Mpeg-2 file format. Choose the template for DVD Architect Video Stream (either widescreen or standard screen, depending on your source and desired output). This will render an mpeg-2 file that should fit easily on your hard drive and that works well with the DVD Architect Program. THEN, however, you have to render the audio separately, as the above procedure only renders an audio stream. Select render again, but this time render the same section of your timeline as an audio-only file (use the AC3 format). Now, go to DVD Architect and import the video and then the audio track. Do your authoring (menus, backgrounds, etc.) and select Make DVD. You will then get a serious of pop up screens...at some point you will come across an Optimize button that will allow you to adjust the video quality to just fit on your disk (or you can select the 'fit to disk' option).

NTSC DVD Architect Video Stream template
anyone??? I don't get this because i thought dvd architect help files tell you to select upper field first if the DVD is to be played on a TV, but you can't seem to get there if the movie studio template for mpeg-2 forces bottom field first...

NTSC Widescreen video not very good.
what settings are you using to render your video in Movie Studio? And no, you don't need to upgrade to get good video out of the program--i think you must have rendered it with a poor quality setting, or you introduced compression elsewhere during your editing.
