Hello most excellent sony users

I am putting together a video in sony vegas 6 and am having lots of fun in the process which is excellent. However i have a small problem when the video renders.
When the video renders and plays back - i notice lots of weird horizontal lines in the new video - when the original clips were perfect (see image attached)

I was wondering what may cause this and also is there a setting I need to use to make sure this doesn't happen?


cheers and regards

One word - interlacing.
Much more than one word to explain though. Basically it's to do with pictures being made up of two sets of lines. Do a search on interlacing for much more detail than I can explain.

Long and the short - IF your output is destined to be interlaced (ie it's PAL or NTSC TV) AND you are not zooming on any of the clips using track motion or pan/crop, then don't worry. It's by design and will not appear as such in the output. Bear in mind what you see in the preview window is being displayed on a computer and not on a PAL or NTSC monitor.

Otherwise, in your project properties, set the De-interlace method to Blend or Interpolate (experiment for most pleasing results)
