    Sony Vegas 8 wrong image size

    I have tried to figure out a problem I'm having, hope someone can help. When I upload a movie to Vegas, and take a snapshot the image is alway's a different size then the actual movie, even though I have set to full (best). I have gone into preferences, etc....

    How do I capture an image, the same size as actual video resolution ??
    Thanks

    It captures to project size. What are your project settings? What is the source size?

    setting the preview to best - full works ok here to capture the size listed under the display.... what are you pasting the clipboard image into?

    Both are 1280 x 720. Project setting 1:1/16:9,. Saving image to desktop, it worked before, let me experiment with project settings some more.

    interesting - i always capture to the clipboard and paste into a picture program and it give the exact pixels listed in the preview. saving it as a file gave me the output size in square pixels instead of the project size. it was HDV 1440x1080 in the clipboard and 1920x1080 as a file.

    I'm back at my Vegas 8c machine now

    It seems to follow preview window size to some extent

    Case 1: 1280x720 file 1280x720 project 1280x720 preview window (square pixel)

    "Save Snapshot to File" result = 1280x720
    "Copy Snapshot to Clipboard" result = 1290x720

    Case 2: 1280x720 file 1280x720 project 640x360 preview window

    "Save Snapshot to File" result = 640x360
    "Copy Snapshot to Clipboard" result = 640x360

    I'll try to repeat for a 1440x1080 project later.

    Thanks everyone, figured it out. I didn't make proper selection in project settings.
