I dont really understand it sorry. It goes try to keep the settings the same, but I never had any settings to start with. Im in Sony Vegas, do I go render as? And then it gives me a list of all sorts of formats in the 'Save as Type' drop down such as avi/mpg1/mp2 etc etc.

Hell Ill just do screen shot:

On the link it you told me to go to, it said try and encode it to lagarith/huffyuv, but I dont see the option to....

Any help greatly appreciated

I've never used Vegas, but I'd suggest the first choice (uncompressed). It will be huge, but you can compress it in Vdub/Vdubmod....

Or, at least, I think that's how you PC folk do it...

Yes you did, you must have had some kind of project or sequence or timeline settings (at least resolution and frame rate). I don't know exactly where, because I've never used Sony Vegas.
You may have gotten the option to set them when you first created the project file.

Let's keep it simple for now: select "Default template (uncompressed)". This will generate a HUGE file (expect something like 2 GB/minute for a 720x480 29.97fps video, if I've done my math correctly), but it should cause Vegas no problems exporting and will be easy to work with afterwards.

If you wanted to select anything not in the list of templates, you'd probably have to hit "Custom...", after which you would only see HuffYUV and Lagarith show up on the list of available video codecs if you had installed those codecs. (If you've installed the AMVapp, then you probably have them.)

I just Started Vegas without choosing a project, so maybe it was just the default one oops...

Ive just done wat u said, its come out alright I guess, but its slightly too small.

I think I know what the problem is. im using 1280x720 footage, but my project is set as 720x480 woops

So Ill just copy everything and paste it into a new project right? Ok let me try

Wait, can someone tell me what good settings to use? Heres another scrnshot:

Thanks!

EDIT: Ok, So I opened 2 sony vegas' then copied and it worked Yes. BUT, now all the flashes and effects is messed up S***. Also for some reason the background is white. Ill try and fix stuff up after someone replies. Thanks

As long as your footage is actually 30fps then I think those settings are good. Might wanna wait for someone else's answer, though.

Ok, first make sure that all your project settings match the properties of your footage (size, fps, etc.). If not your video will come out messed up. When your video is ready, hilight it and go to file- render as and select avi. Go to 'custom template' and select the video properties... in the second tab there should be a drop- down list of codecs to compress to, and select 'lagarith'. When you're done setting the other properties, you're ready to render your video.

So i choose the HDV 720-30p (1280x720, 29.970 fps) one?

When I click that, it changes the field order to 'None(Progressive Scan)' and Pixel Aspect Ratio to '1.000(Square)'. Let me show you:

And, how do I tell if my footage is 30fps? Btw, Im using Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood footage (MKV) from Eclipse Fansubs.

Thanks again
