Vegas Video Editor and AA (Antialiasing)

[Cunhambebe]

Hi there! Nice to be here again. this time I do have a doubt that's killing me. It's about Sony's Vegas Video Editor and Antialiasing (AA)...I've noticed that Vegas doesn't have an antialiasing filter. Some time ago I've downloaded a Veggie file (at sundance......if I'm not mistaken) and this one was all about flying screens comming out from the center of the screen and flying away. I've authored my DVD includding this file but this effect particularly is a bit troubling since anyone can notice that the edges of each screen do need an antialiasing filter. I've tried to reduce interlace flicker and other tricks, but since nothing seemed to work, I was thinking about Photoshop. It has a good antialiasing filter....So here are my doubts...
1. Can I load the animation file in Photoshop or I have to render the whole thing first as, for instance, a Targa sequence.
2. Is this way the best solution for the problem or Vegas itself can fix the problem?
Thanks in advance..........

When you render, do you change the render quality in the template. I believe the AA is part of the quality settings, and better or best should fix the problem you describe.

When I render with Vegas, I always do as DVDA NTSC Video Stream, choosing the best settings. No, I don't think this is the problem...It must be something else. Anyone, please????

are you rendering out with the correct field order set?

playing around with the convoltion filter or a tiny tiny gaus. blur will help .. and also rendering just this part as progressive ....

so will another trick of rendering it at a higher resolution at 1:1 PAR and then using v-dub to resize it ...

what are you rendering to ?

LOL - Oh my, you really you make me laugh fella, so the spider came here too? LOLL Thanks a lot because I really have fun here.
OK, let's get to the subject. First, Thanks so much for responding. I'm rendering in Vegas as DVDA NTSC Videostream, Double Pass, VBR. (Hope you remember that this file comes from a Veggie file that shows small screens comming out of the center and flying aways toward the edges).

convoltion filter or a tiny tiny gaus. blur will help .. and also rendering just this part as progressive ....

- You mean, rendering this part as progressive when it is intended for NTSC TV? You've got me - I was really wondering how I canstop the render process and render just one part as progressive. Is that possible??

it at a higher resolution at 1:1 PAR and then using v-dub to resize it ...

-Could you please give us more details on how to do that? Thanks...

-Yes, sir. According to our Master, the correct field order doesn't matter anything for NTSC, just for PAL (if I'm not mistaken PAL hass to be Upper Field Firs - Guys, please correct me if I'm wrong.
Thanks in advance to all and very special thanks to BJ_M as well as to his pet LOLLL

ive been out of the country --

to render 1 part as progressive - just break the project down into sections to render ..

to render at a higher resolution - do exactly that , say 1024 x 768 huffyuv , and use virtualdub to resize with the LanczosResize in 2 steps downwards..

Thanks so much for taking time to respond.

to render 1 part as progressive - just break the project down into sections to render ..

- I still don't understand how I could do this....Since you start rendering a project, I don't see a way to stop the process and do what you've just said.

to render at a higher resolution - do exactly that , say 1024 x 768 huffyuv , and use virtualdub to resize with the LanczosResize in 2 steps downwards..

- Sincerely this part seems to be easier (using virtualdub)...but what about LanczosResize....never heard of....

Could you please tell me how to break the project down into sections and how to use that Lanczosblob?
What about Photoshop's AA?????? Wouldn't it be much easier?

Anyone? Please?
