Hi, I was hoping someone could give me some advice on how to get the best possible results from Sony Vegas Pro 10 using the H.264 codec. In the past I have only rendered in WMV format but wanted to start using H.264. I dont care about the size of the rendered file but I want to get the very best loo...

Hi again! I was hoping someone might be able to answer another question I have. Ive been playing around with the New Blue FX Cartoon plugin with the aim of starting a clip off looking 'cartoony' and then gradually fading it out so that the same clip ends in its original look. The cartoon effect has ...

Thats excellent. You have answered all of my questions very well.....for now at least!!

Thank you again for taking the time to explain things for me.

Thanks again.

When rendering in WMV format there are 3 different options for VBR. They are 'Bit rate VBR (peak), 'Quality VBR' and 'Bit rate VBR'.

Is there much difference between them?

Thank you. You really have explained things very well.

May I also ask whether I should use a constant bitrate (CBR) or variable (VBR)? Under the video tab there are a few different options.

Many thanks.

Would I see ...

Thanks for the advice and the attachments. They've been a great help!

Hi, I have been using Sony Vegas 9 Pro but there are a few things that im puzzled by. It would be great if someone could clear a few things up for me. Firstly I was hoping someone could explain the 'override compression buffer' setting during rendering. What does this do? Does it need to be checked ...

Hi, Thanks for the advice. As I mentioned before I am new to all of this so Im sure the more I read about the subject the more I will become aware of where and when I should be using it. The main aim of using color correction at the moment was to try and make the colours in my video 'pop' a bit more...

Hi, I am new to the world of camcorders and video editing. Having bought my first ever camcorder in November I've managed to put together 2 family videos so far using Sony Vegas 9 Pro. Now (as I'm sure you are all familiar with) I am striving for better looking video. I have read that color correcti...
