Lost quality

[OliverBelman]

Hi guys,

I've just installed Sony Vegas 7, did some editing and after that made rendering as .avi (uncompressed).
But result not really that I was expected.. I lost quality of my video.. Now I can see some horizontal lines when object is moving.. I have no idea what is going on.. What am I doing wrong?

Original video has mp4 format..

Please advice,

Thank's so much

Interlacing!
Sounds like you've zoomed in (pan and crop) on interlaced footage. Or mixed your fields. You need to de-interlace anything you are going to zoom in on if the source is interlaced.
What is your source? And exactly what parameters are you using to export.

Ohh thank's for getting me back
No, I did not zoom anything, (or zoom somehow and do not know this)
I've just went outside... record some video.. and use Sony Vegas for editing..
settings was 1280x720 60fps HR.. and I editing thise video..

For editing I was using only colors.. that's it

render: .AVI
Audio: 44,100 Hz, 16 Bit, Stereo
Video: 29.970 fps, 720x480x32

Make sure when you render that the field order is lower field first or deinterlace the video and select progressive. You have gone from HD footage to SD .avi file which is a change in field order. HD footage is Upper field first.

Hope this helps.

When you click on "Render As", the render box appears. in this box you choose the format you want and select a template. You will see a "CUSTOM" button. click on it and you get further options. Look for the field order option and if you are rendering to SD select lower filed first or None Progressive.

This is Standard definition:
render: .AVI
Audio: 44,100 Hz, 16 Bit, Stereo
Video: 29.970 fps, 720x480x32

Ohh, thank's so much, I will try and post my results..

You should also ensure your Project Settings match your source.
Go to File | Properties.
On the video tab click the "Match Media Settings" Icon (far right of the "Template" entry and navigate to any of your source files. That way you'll keep the same settings throughout.

Ohh thank's guys a lot for your participation,

So what I did:
My rendering settings had been as "lower filed first" and this is not really helped after that I changed to None Progressive and this setting do work.. no horizontal line any more..
So my custom settings were:
Frame size: NTSC DV (720x480)
Frame rate: 29.970
Field Order: None (Progressive scan)
Pixel aspect ratio: 0.9091 (not sure what is this)
Uncompressed
Ohh also I selected video quality - Best..


After that I did like TimStannard says
I've matched file quality - and it settings were totally different from original one.. result - I do like, no lines.. but this settings do need a little bit different color configuration..

If you have more advice please tell me,

Thank's guys one more time,
