LadySaraK's video: Editing Tutorial The Motion Blur Problem

Two words: Disable Resample. Sooo... This is my first editing tutorial :D Believe it or not I made this over a year ago and never got around to uploading it until now, because I didn't really know if it would be useful. For all I knew, this tip could be something that everyone else just knew, right? :D Anyway, please let me know what you think. Did you know about this? Is this tutorial clear enough? Is it too fast? So about this tutorial: I didn't know about this when I started editing, and I first started using the "disable resample" option when I wanted to change the speed of the clip (because otherwise it would turn out completely black). I noticed that some people recommended using this setting when masking with Sony Vegas, but I realized it's not just useful for masking. If fixes the motion blur thing that's been driving me nuts for AGES. And I've noticed it in several videos, so I thought maybe I wasn't the only one who didn't know about this! IMPORTANT TIP: If you want you can apply it to all your clips at once, just use CTRL + A to select all clips, deselect any audio clips and then right click and disable resample :) ---------------------------------- Warning: Technical gibberish ahead XD So what is this setting, anyway? - Well, every video is rendered at a certain rate (fps or frames per second), and the original footage has it's own "frame rate", so this can cause the motion blur effect to appear. - For example, say the original clip has 4 frames per second (that's ridiculously low, but it's just an example :P), and your render settings say the video will have 3 frames per second. What does Vegas do? It can omit one of the 4 frames OR it can "blur" every two frames together; like using frame 1 and 2 to create the new frame 1, then frame 2 and 3 to create the second frame and finally frame 3 and 4 to create the last one! Although this means that you probably won't miss anything, because there's still a trace of the 4 frames in the new three, you'll get this blur effect. Disable Resample simply disables it (and instead maybe it omits a frame....well, depending on how it's programmed). END of technical rant XD ------------------------------------------- Well, I hope you enjoy this and benefit from it! Let me know what you think please :) There's another one coming up, maybe today or tomorrow, so see you later! :D
