Maintaining framerate in a final cut

Setu_Firestorm · Post by **Setu_Firestorm** » Wed Apr 21, 2010 10:20 pm

I have Anime Studio Pro 5, and I intended to do make my scenes within ASP and render them out so that I can bring them into Sony Vegas (Movie Studio 9 platinum) and do the final cut. My process approach was to have individual AS projects for each scene, render them into an uncompressed AVI, and then piece them together in Vegas.

The problem I run into is an inconsistency in the visual flow.

What I want to do is have the final cut come out in 24 frames per second, and move crisply along those lines. I've tried a number of different things like:

- Rendering out the ASP scene at 24fps and then rendering out the final video from Vegas at 24fps, but it comes up muddy.

- Rendering out ASP scenes at 30/60fps then rendering out the final in Vegas at 24fps, but it gets muddier.

Is there a way to maintain a good, crisp 24fps in the final cut and I just can't figure it out, or is there possibly a problem in my overall process?

Or are there good Vegas plugins to render out film-quality-output video?

Just curious. Thanks.

I don't know Vegas, but I have a similar problem in Final Cut where I have to set a certain project fps right from the start, no matter which material I import and with which fps I render.

In general I think it must be possible since I know at least one animator using Vegas who is very satisfied with it.

I am really new to this stuff and I've been having the same problem. I just realized that Vegas defaults the "deinterlace" option to "blend fields." My understanding is that AS has no interlacing so I just tried setting "deinterlace" to "none." It looks a lot better. Could that be the problem you're encountering?

Someone please correct me if this is the wrong setting to use.

I contacted my very reliable source and he pointed me to this Vegas forum:

You should be able to get all answers to your problem there, I'm sure.

Thank you much, guys. I'll have a look at that site and probably post my question there.

I'll also give a shot at what you said, Iwax. It sounds like that could be connected to my problem.

Thank you again. I appreciate the help. =)

Setu-- Wow, I just listened to some of your compositions. They're beautiful. Those are actually available for people to use in noncommercial work as long as they credit you?

Oh, yes they are.

Sorry, I don't visit these boards too often, so I apologize for the delayed response.

You are free to use them noncommercially as you wish. I'd be interested in seeing what you do with them, though. Some people use my music for some very intriguing productions.
