MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
Right, I've got a number of clips loaded into Vegas (v10) from my GoPro (all clips running at 50fps). I've rendered them using the following:
Audio: 128 Kbps, 44,100 Hz, 16 Bit, Stereo, AAC
Video: 50 fps, 1280x720 Progressive, YUV, 14 Mbps
Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1.000
What rendering settings are the best to get the best quality? I'm finding mine take an age to render and the quality breaks down once rendered.
I see other peoples vids and they look great and wonder where I could improve.
For HD on youtube I Deinterlace 16x9 25 FPS H264 2000kbps
Could it be you are making a massive file and your computer is playing back a preview version? My GF's laptop does this. After upload to youtube the HD is perfect.
I have to say I have been dabbling in editing programmes recently and today downloaded Vegas movie studio HD and think that its brilliant. I know I have only just scratched the surface but its so much easier to use than anything else.
For normal playback on a computer/youtube/tv 50fps is overkill, 25 would be absolutely fine (so long as it doesn't then start playing back at half the speed). This would also halve the resulting file size. I shoot my GoPro at 50fps but then just use the extra frames during the edit if I want to slow things down, I'll always render out at 25.
YUV is also overkill in terms of quality/size as well I think, ideally you want to aim for a good delivery codec. H.264 like cbike uses is a very popular choice.
Cheers, I'll give those ideas a try and see what happens.
Vimeo recommends.
H.264
24-30 fps
2000kbps for SD
5000kbps for HD
I usually go for H.264/25fps/6000kbps for HD footage.
