Item Description
Deinterlace method Choose a setting from this drop-down list to determine the method
used to render effects and deinterlace the two fields that make up a
frame.
n None: Performs no deinterlacing.
n Blend fields: Uses contents from both fields and works well
for high-detail, low-motion video.
n Interpolate: Uses a single field at a time and works well for
high-motion, low-detail video.
No deinterlacing occurs in the Draft and Preview video preview
modes. The Good and Best modes apply the selected
deinterlacing method.
Adjust source media to
better match project or
render settings
Select this check box if you want Vegas Pro to scale images or adjust
interlacing to allow media files to work better with your project.
This setting will correct for the following types of inconsistencies:
n DV media will be cropped for 320x240 Internet renders to
prevent letterboxing.
n DV widescreen media will be cropped in HD projects.
n HD media will be cropped in DV widescreen projects.
n 486-line media will be cropped in 480-line projects.
n 480-line media will be padded in 486-line projects.
When the check box is cleared, source media files are processed with
their native settings.
Prerendered files folder Prerendered video files are saved to this folder so that you don't need
to rerender the project every time you view it. For more information,
see "Selectively Prerender Video" on page 478.
If you want to change the location of the folder, click the Browse
button and choose a location. Ideally, this location should be on a
different hard drive than the one where your operating system is
installed.
Prerendered files can consume significant drive space. Select a
folder on an a/v-capable drive with ample free space: DV
requires approximately 228 MB per minute.
