Vegas and video render size

fogga · #1 (**permalink**) 10-03-2006, 04:01 PM

I've just finished a video tutorial that was done in full screen and I am trying to figure what the best type of file is to save it as because I want it to still be readable and look ok but I don't want it to big in size, any suggestions?

Whats your out put, DVD, streaming, Web. Diffrent formats use diffrent files. Are you posting it on the web site? WMV is the most common for web. mpeg-2 for dvd ec... More info would help get a better answer.

Yeah sorry it will be for streaming on the web.

WMV or QT, either will work. Depending on length 256, 512 or even 3mb the higher the bitrate the better the quilty.

I encoded it at 512 and 3MB but the quality is really bad, you cannot see any of the text on screen.

Have a look at this, this is what I want http://e107tutorials.com/e107_plugin...p?view.15.0.10

I think you need to render at a higher res. The bit rate is less important as the presentaion is not fast moving video.

Assuming the project looked fine in preview render it at a higher res, bit rate of 1 mbit/sec should be fine.

Do remember tho that dropping the res of text will tend to make it unreadable.
