Vegas: Screwy renders

[CrackTheSky]

This is driving me up the wall.

For some reason, Vegas has decided that whenever I want to render a loop (haven't tried not looping anything, though I imagine it wouldn't make a difference), the video comes out looking like this:


This looks TERRIBLE when the video is in motion. I cannot for the life of me figure out why this is happening. This actually happens quite a bit, but there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it.

My export settings are the same as I've always used, and those are the same as the settings spelled out in EADFAG. I've tried every possible combination of lossless codecs, frame rates, etc. and I STILL get that stupid ghosting effect. I've tried disabling motion blur on each of my video tracks. Nothing seems to work.

I've tried rendering that crap out and the attempting to fix it with AviSynth. That hasn't turned out so well.

I'm at a complete loss. The codec of the source clip doesn't make any difference - I've tried it uncompressed and with Lagarith, and I assume HuffYUV won't change anything either.

My project settings match up with my export settings, and both of those match up with my clip properties. I've tried changing everything just to see if maybe it'd make a difference, but to no avail.

Does ANYONE have any idea how this could be rectified?

For what it's worth, the clip in question was rendered out from AE, but it's not exclusive to this clip so I don't imagine that makes a difference either...

since you already checked the individual clip properties, I'm not sure but try to disable the resample option in the properties of each clip.
That used to give me unwanted ghosting in whatever clip I put in vegas, even without altering it with velocity etc.
hope that helps crackerz

x2, otherwise it might be an issue arising from the framerate of the source (or even the animation of the source as well) and the respective framerate or any changes you used in After Effects or Vegas

Oh my God, that did the trick. Thank you SO MUCH GfN, I am in your debt

I'm glad this question was asked! I recently noticed very slight blurring or extra motion when there is a lot of movement in my clips. -Good for Nothing- and Kristyrat, do you think "loop" and "resampling" should always be unchecked? I'm actually not quite sure what they mean or when/if I should ever use them. I'm so oblivious about this subject. (Lol) Thank you!

(I also noticed a "reduce interlace flicker" option. That might come in handy if I ever have to use interlaced footage. Yay!)

I'd advise strongly against deinterlacing in nle's and the like. do that via virtualdubmod. as for the resample, unless you're using velocity I don't see any reasons why you should activate it, as it really produces ghosting as if there's no tomorrow and if your footage has been prepared properly, there shouldn't be any trouble...

I'll keep this in mind for the project after the next O.o

I appreciate the suggestion, Jannis! Thank you! I don't think I ever will have to use interlaced footage because of how helpful the guide is. I think from now on I will also click the "Bypass motion blur" button on each track I'm going to be using. I am still having loads of trouble trying to figure out how to get the frame rate changed in Avisynth while still having the video lined up with my effects and music (like it says in the guide) instead of just changing the frame rate in Vegas. I will hopefully figure it out soon. Again, thank you very much for answering my questions!

Frame rate stuff.

Try changing the frame rate of your clips BEFORE you start editing. De-interlacing automatically converts the video (assuming you're using NTSC) to 23.97 fps.
