Sony Vegas and Media Studio Yep, I know they're not related, but they both fall in the Premiere Alternative bracket in my humble opinion! Post here for Ulead Media Studio or Vegas video problems or pointers...

Default PSD imports render grainy...?

Hey there,

So every time I render a video that has a psd import or image overlay it comes out a little grainy. I don't really know what I'm doing wrong. My psd files are usually fairly high res, (at 300 or more) so im figuring that it must be soemthing to do with my compression settings. I usually render my video NTSC at the highest possible settings... but if anyone has any idea why im getting grainy images in my video and how to correct this problem it would be much appreciated.

Sincerely,
Josh

Please post a screen grab sample. I use PNGs or JPGs and have no issues.

Hi Josh. Your right... lower the res of your stills to maybe a third of that and all should be well. It is odd, but Vegas doesn't seem to handle hi res stills all that well.

Q1] What is 300? 300 what?

Q2] What compression settings?

I am guessing 300 dpi - I havent noticed this happwning to me. The only prob i get is the interale thing on stills sometimes.

I'm assuming 300dpi.... I do get some problems with some super hi res images.

dpi is a print media term and does not belong in a video context. What is the pixel dimension of the media?
