Importing Vegas Video Wall Project Into Main AMV- Quality?

Chaobunny12 · Post by **Chaobunny12** » Sat Nov 08, 2008 8:18 pm

I don't have that kind of money. In general I'm not buying software over $200.

I'm using a free plugin, Davitools Videowall, to help me format the video wall, which saves me a little bit of time. It saves me from having to do all the formatting and cropping, at least, although I do need to input which channel the video sources are coming from.

I just made this thread to see if anyone has pulled this off with Vegas before. I'm testing the limits of the program xD

I just noticed in the pic of the bad clips that the preview resolution is set to Half. Did you try setting that to full?

Good question... I wish I knew the answer to it.

If 999.99 is out of your price range... Would you consider 649.59? If you're not making the video wall move other than you manual cropping it... You could build a wall in Photoshop and then import a .png.

Get GIMP instead, it's free, and it's so close to being as good as photoshop it's not even funny.

AE student pricing is about $350, if you want to save for that in the future.

Anyway, I was going to say the same thing Krisqo said; the preview isn't set to full quality in the second pic. See if it looks any better if you change that. And outside of that, shouldn't the video wall project's resolution be cranked way up beyond 720x480? (3600x2400, or as close as you can get to it.) Because the first pic says it's still 720x480.

The first pic was before I made it bigger. I've got it up to 2016x1344, but I can't get it higher than that and keep the same aspect ratio. The biggest dimension Vegas will take is 2048. Now the quality is good enough to zoom on a 3x3 grid, just not individual clips. I wish I could get it to 3600x2400.

I'll try downloading GIMP.

Sorry, I did and forgot to respond.

I have it set to full now but it doesn't make a huge difference in the video for pan/crop, just the preview. I still can't zoom in all the way and have it keep the same quality.
