Sunday, October 28, 2012 As part of the 'And More' of this blog, I would like to present a Tip that will help everyone asking about and experiencing the 'blurry/ghost-y' effect that appears when rendering a video that they have created in the Sony Vegas line of products. An example of this blurring or ghosting is shown in this short video: The first 10seconds is the 'Smart Resample' setting that is on By Default in Sony's Vegas product line (Movie Studio, Movie Studio Platinum, Vegas Pro). The second portion is the same recording but with the 'Disable Resample' setting. Even with some quality loss from YouTube, the difference between the first "blurry" output that many have experienced and the second crisp, clear version without it is easily seen. So then, how to fix it? The simplest way is to right click on the video event (video clip) and open the Properties of the event, as shown here: Then, simply click on the radio button choice that indicates "Disable Resample", as shown here: That's it! Now, with any further work you do with the video, you won't have to worry about the 'ghosting' effect happening to you in the end render output. I suggest doing this at the beginning of your project and as you add new video clips, that way it is done for the entire clip, even if you split it up into parts. While the above steps solve the problem, I would like to go into more detail
