some editing issues in vegas movie studio

[VTSwordfish2002]

Okay I have been playing around with the DV avi renders that was recommended, but I keep getting a weird 'shimmy' in the output videos. The pics I used are of a high resolution, so I thought that might cause the weird look to them whenever I put them into my project, but I am not sure. Are there any formats that would give me a good enough format for projection, but rid me of this compression issue?

What software are you using? How are you presenting the result to the projector? Downsizing requires low pass filtering to avoid harmonics.

I'm just using Vegas Movie Studio, the render is NTSC DV avi format at its standard settings. I will be passing it to the projector via s-video

In Vegas there is a render setting called Quality. Setting it to Best can help avoid some of these issues when resizing stills. Movie Studio may have the same setting. If the images have sharp horizontal edges or thin horizontal lines then you can get interlace flicker along the edges. Applying a very small gaussian blur, or a vertical directional blur can also help in these cases.
