I recorded a video with fraps, which was originally a good few gigs. I rendered 10 seconds of it and the quality was somewhat poor and it was around 57MB. I used this and it IMPROVED the quality and brought it down to around 3MB. Thank you very much.
Haha, thanks for this, AVI is ridiculously big, I rendered a video that was 4 minutes long and it turned out to be over 27Gb! Youtube said it would take 48 hours to upload >.<
@Luchtanker If editing HD videos for YouTube, use the settings I show in my YouTube video 'Sony Vegas Movie Studio Settings for HD wide screen at YouTube'
@jetblueilikeful As mentioned in the video, I created the template, so you won't have it on your Sony Vegas. But you can use the settings I show, and then click the disk icon by the template name to save your own. These settings are for standard definition, non wide screen videos for YouTube.
i recorded 5 hours of footage, but it had black bars. i wanted to optimize it, but the answer was not in this video. though, you showed me where to look!! thanks so much!
Hi Bill. I have been using these settings for quite a while now...but uploads have 2 black bars down the side on the youtube player. Are there new settings for Sony Vegas to save for widescreen viewing on Youtube?
@brynmag Youtube's video player is now widescreen. If your video is not widescreen, it will show the black bars down the side. If your video is widescreen, use the settings I show in 'Sony Vegas Movie Studio Settings for HD wide screen at YouTube'
@brynmag You can use pan & zoom to zoom into the clips to make them fit widescreen players. See my YouTube video, 'Convert video to wide format for YouTube - Sony Movie Studio'
@guerillabill Ah I see. Is the version of Vegas Movie Studio HD Platinum 11 the same other than that? There is only about $10 difference in price on Amazon. (plus I can get the Bill Myers 101 Tips & Tricks for Sony Movie Studio as well)
@link9326 Render speed is directly related to the format of the source video, how closely they match the render settings, the speed of your computer, the number of cpu cores, the amount of ram, the length of the video, and the number of effects.
If rendering mov/mp4 divx or xvid video, expect render times to be tripled. For fast renders, use a computer with multicore cpu, lots of RAM, and fast hard drive with plenty of free space.
This is not making sense. If you render the video correctly, it still does not change the fact that it is still a .vf file in Vegas and I still do not know how to get a Vegas movie onto youtube since it will not accept .vf files.
@brettwinstead When you render the video, it creates a new video file with the filetype you choose (ie wmv). That would be the file you upload to YouTube, the one you just rendered.
The .vf file is a vegas project file, not a video file. You don't upload the .vf file to YouTUb.e
@TheXcinerator Sony Movie Studio is the 'home' version of Sony Vegas Pro. Movie Studio 10 Platinum has the same layout, the same look, operates the same, and has about 95% of the features of Vegas Pro.
Big difference in price. Movie Studio Platinum 10 is under $50 at Amazon, while Vegas Pro is over $450.
@TheXcinerator You can edit and render in Sony Movie Studio the same as in Sony Vegas Pro. The quality of the rendered video will be dependent on the quality of the original source video.
@TheXcinerator You may have problems with the Hauppauge HD PVR video codec. Some people do report problems with that codec. Might have to convert the files to wmv or avi, depending on the version of Movie Studio you have.
i need to split a video into 3 parts and export them as 3 clips.
i split them into 3 but i dont know how to export them into 3 clips, when i try to export them. It will export as 1 clip and some black space between the clip.
@robin2531610 To export selected parts of a video, highlight the part you wish to export, choose 'render as', make sure 'render loop region only' is checked, enter a file name, and render.
Didnt workt for my, it made it much worse acutally :S. Maybe is something with the startup settings, can you telle me more about what to choose? You have so many screen options when slecting "NEW"
@4everkilla You may to look at the newer video I recently posted covering this. Find it with a YouTube search "Sony Vegas Movie Studio Settings for HD wide screen at YouTube"
Thank you so much for the video, I was having problems with the lengh of video verses youtube time requirement. I went back and check animation and it made all the difference in the world. Thanks so much.
how do i record my movie and upload it on youtube ? ps now i now thx to u i now which file i need to do but when i upload a video on youtube my video is just 1sec and its done .
Thank you man! One question... I have a 2 hour clip whick i wanted to speed it up to 3 minutes. So i dragged it and made it 5 minutes and now i render it but it says it needs 12 hours! Is that right?
@foadysfah Render time will depend on the speed of your computer, amount of RAM, type of file being rendered to.
Faster renders will be to wmv. Slowest renders will be to mov/mp4 and avi.
Rendering HD on a fast computer usually requires 2 minute of render time for 1 minute of video. On a slow computer, render time for HD could be 10 minutes of render for each minute of hd video.
Thank you so much! BECAUSE of THIS VIDEO, I can now convert videos from Sony Vegas Movie Studio to YouTube! You're a genius!! Thanks for the assistance!! :)
excuse me but when i click on an effect i want it doesnt make it a window like it ment to, now it just adds it next to the video and its all squashed how do i make it a window again? please help
@guerillabill when i rendered my vid and watch it in windows player it is in a box, as in it is surrounded by black, the original vid wasnt like that, how do i make it so it can be viewed full screen with no widescreen lines and stuff
@13Machao Set the project properties to match your desired render settings. That will allow the preview window to show what the final video will look like and whether it will be letter boxed or not.
If your source material is not wide screen, but your render settings are wide screen, it will be letter boxed, unless you adjust the source video. See my YouTube video, 'Convert video to wide format for YouTube - Sony Movie Studio' for more details.
Yeesh! I got a nasty result with this tutorial. It took 90 minutes to convert a 7 minute AVI file and it ended up being 53MB big. Are you sure this tutorial applies for all formats?
@Glitcher2000 If it took 90 minutes to convert a 7 minute avi file, it usually means your avi file was really a divx or xvid video in a avi wrapper.
Divx and xvid are highly compressed video codecs, and rendering them to full frame avi can take hours, because so much information has been compressed out of the video.
divx and xvid videos are common with digital photo cameras, some video games, some analog video converters. Not really suitable for editing.
@guerillabill Yes, it is an xvid video. I didn't know that Vegas needs to decompress the video from one format in order to compress into another. I tried recording as an uncompressed video, but the file size is 500MB for every minute of video! My computer isn't great and I'm short on disk space as it is. Instead, I tried converting the xvid into a 320 x 240 mp4 at 15fps. Conversion is three times faster and the file size is tiny. I'll manage with this.
@JunkJunk60000 Render times are determined by the number of effects in the video, the length of the video, the chosen render format, the amount of RAM in your computer, and the amount of free disk space.
For faster render times, upgrade to Windows 7 64 bit, have at least 8 Gig of Ram, and at least 50 gig free hard drive space on the render drive.
@PaRanormalZz Make sure you haven't selected 'loop region' in the render settings. If you are working with mov or mp4 files, you may need to apply a patch that Sony provides.
Not changing the image size to 320x240 would probably explain why all the vids I upload have small black bars on the top and bottom. Is there a way to change the image size for authoring a DVD on DVD Architect? If so what should the image size be? All the DVD's I burned with my generic burner seem to have part of the picture cut off around the edges.
@JDBCreations For DVD, the source video should be shot at 720 X 480 for standard definition or 1920 X 1080 for HD. Shooting at lower sizes than that will produce low quality pixelated videos that don't fill the screen.
thanks mucho grande :D now i can upload and it doesn't say anything about the converting thing but now i try to upload and it cuts all of my video except a little part but i'll try to figure that out=]
Hi, I have SV Movie Studio Platinum 9.0. I cannot get video on my rendered clips only audio. I deselect the loop only region before rendering and still audio only. Please tell me what can i do to possible resolve this issue. Do i need to re-install the program? I know others who use the default setting for rendering and have no problem with the video portion.
@reid9950 Sounds like you are using 'mov' or 'mp4' clips. These require a codec adjustment in Sony Movie Studio. See my YouTube video 'fix mp4 problems sony movie studio'
@reid9950 When the screen is black with a video clip, it usually means the codec needed to edit that clip is not on your computer. This is common with clips from video games, flip cameras, some cell phones, and analog video capture devices. Especially true with clips using divx or xvid codec.
Try a clip from a better video source, and you'll see that it works.
Hey. I have a question. I have sony vegas pro.9 so when I render the Save as type is Windows Media Video 11 (*.wmv). Just wanted to know if I should keep it like that since I dont have the same save as type as you
hi mate, im having dramas with my preview screen, it seems to be lagging behind the timeline and doesnt keep up with the frame rate, im transfering gopro HD footage and HDV footage from my video camera, can you please help me
@bocareado Gopro HD footage is in .mov format, and requires a lot of CPU power and RAM to edit and preview in real time. If you don't have WIndows 7 64 bit, and at least 8 gig of RAM when editing HD mov files, you can expect to see the preview lag.
@guerillabill ok i thought i must have had the files messed up, when rendering for vimeo do you have a tutorial to get the best results from my gopro footage, im currently rendering as a m2t. thanks for your comment
I'm trying to get rid of the black lines on th sides of the video... i'm recording some video game footage but untill i make the game clip 16:9 and cut more than half the vid i can't cover the lines. is there any other way to do it ?
@jimbolooo You can either zoom into 16:9 or stretch the video. See details in my youtube video 'Convert video to wide format for YouTube - Sony Movie Studio '
@cupcakemintsss That is usually an issue when your preview windows settings are too high, and your computer CPU isn't able to keep up with the real time preview.
When you render the project, the video should be perfect.
@cupcakemintsss If the video skips when you render it, is means something is wrong with the original source video. This usually is the case when you use an analog device to capture video from TV or convert from other format, and the frame rate is low.
Lately I've been having trouble with uploading video's to YouTube because they are too big. I uploaded one recently that was over 26MB, but after trying this out, the video was rendered at only 4MB!
@iRlazyGoat Lowering the bit rate always affects quality, but it may not be apparent depending on what you do with the video - YouTube, web site, DVD .. .
For HD settings for YouTube see my video 'Sony Vegas Movie Studio HD widescreen settings for YouTube '
@mattsarg To get widescreen on YouTube, you'll either need to start with wide screen video, and render to widescreen format. Or use pan & crop to make standard video widescreen. See my YouTube video 'Convert video to wide format for YouTube - Sony Movie Studio '
I have Vogas Movie Studio Platinum 9. My Custom settings don't look like tese and i dunno what to do. I don't even have Birtrate menu. The Audio menu is way more complicated and i can't see any :"CBR". What should I do?
@guerillabill Oh never mind, i have found out what to do. Thanks for fat replying. But with those settings it took me 2 hours for a 10 minutes video to render. Wasn't it supposed to be faster?
@danutz1996 Render speed will be dependent on the length of the video, the amount of effects used, the amount of RAM in your computer, the amount of hard drive space, the speed of your CPU, and the file format chosen.
If the source video is mov, mpeg4, or compressed with divx or xvid, render times could be tripled.
For fast renders for youtube, start with true avi or mts video, and render to .wmv
@CarbyForever If your video widescreen, don't use the above settings. Use the ones I show in 'widescreen video for youtube sony movie studio'.
If your video is not widescreen, you can convert to widescreen using the settings I show in 'Convert video to wide format for YouTube - Sony Movie Studio'
hi i have Sony Vegas Movie Studio 9.0 and i want to know what the settings for HD video is as i have a HD camera. yes it comes up as widescreen but it has HQ instead of HD. can you help?
@leonshayne If you have Sony Movie Studio platinum, you can render to HD. See settings in my YouTube video 'Sony Vegas Movie Studio HD widescreen settings for YouTube '
I have this set up on my Sony Vegas and it used to work great, but now for some reasons I get dropped frames when I render. The original avi is fine. Is it my camera or something I need to change in Sony? You can see my latest video how choppy and bad it looks.
@destroyahdes Generally dropped frames during rendering means the source video wasn't full frame rate. That happens with video from still camera, video games, flip cameras and highly compressed mp4 or mov videos
I recorded a video with fraps, which was originally a good few gigs. I rendered 10 seconds of it and the quality was somewhat poor and it was around 57MB. I used this and it IMPROVED the quality and brought it down to around 3MB. Thank you very much.

@PaRanormalZz Make sure you haven't selected 'loop region' in the render settings. If you are working with mov or mp4 files, you may need to apply a patch that Sony provides.

Not changing the image size to 320x240 would probably explain why all the vids I upload have small black bars on the top and bottom. Is there a way to change the image size for authoring a DVD on DVD Architect? If so what should the image size be? All the DVD's I burned with my generic burner seem to have part of the picture cut off around the edges.
JDBCreations 1 year ago
@JDBCreations For DVD, the source video should be shot at 720 X 480 for standard definition or 1920 X 1080 for HD. Shooting at lower sizes than that will produce low quality pixelated videos that don't fill the screen.

Hi, I have SV Movie Studio Platinum 9.0. I cannot get video on my rendered clips only audio. I deselect the loop only region before rendering and still audio only. Please tell me what can i do to possible resolve this issue. Do i need to re-install the program? I know others who use the default setting for rendering and have no problem with the video portion.
reid9950 1 year ago
@reid9950 Sounds like you are using 'mov' or 'mp4' clips. These require a codec adjustment in Sony Movie Studio. See my YouTube video 'fix mp4 problems sony movie studio'
guerillabill 1 year ago
@guerillabill
Thank you for responding. I am not using either one of these formats or file types. I will look at your video.
I have tried so many format/file types
1) Default: Audio: 64 Kbps, 44,100 Hz, 16 Bit, Stereo.
Video: 29.970 fps, 480x360, Quality VBR 90, WMV V11 Compression.
2) 512 Kbps Video;Audio: 64 Kbps, 44,100 Hz, 16 Bit, Stereo.
Video: 30 fps, 320x240, WMV V9 Compression.
Use this setting for high-quality video and near-CD-quality audio delivered over LAN or cable modem.
reid9950 1 year ago
@reid9950 When the screen is black with a video clip, it usually means the codec needed to edit that clip is not on your computer. This is common with clips from video games, flip cameras, some cell phones, and analog video capture devices. Especially true with clips using divx or xvid codec.
Try a clip from a better video source, and you'll see that it works.

hi mate, im having dramas with my preview screen, it seems to be lagging behind the timeline and doesnt keep up with the frame rate, im transfering gopro HD footage and HDV footage from my video camera, can you please help me
bocareado 1 year ago
@bocareado Gopro HD footage is in .mov format, and requires a lot of CPU power and RAM to edit and preview in real time. If you don't have WIndows 7 64 bit, and at least 8 gig of RAM when editing HD mov files, you can expect to see the preview lag.
guerillabill 1 year ago
@guerillabill ok i thought i must have had the files messed up, when rendering for vimeo do you have a tutorial to get the best results from my gopro footage, im currently rendering as a m2t. thanks for your comment

I'm trying to get rid of the black lines on th sides of the video... i'm recording some video game footage but untill i make the game clip 16:9 and cut more than half the vid i can't cover the lines. is there any other way to do it ?
jimbolooo 1 year ago
@jimbolooo You can either zoom into 16:9 or stretch the video. See details in my youtube video 'Convert video to wide format for YouTube - Sony Movie Studio '

cupcakemintsss 1 year ago
@cupcakemintsss That is usually an issue when your preview windows settings are too high, and your computer CPU isn't able to keep up with the real time preview.
When you render the project, the video should be perfect.
guerillabill 1 year ago
@guerillabill no even if I render it :(
cupcakemintsss 1 year ago
@cupcakemintsss If the video skips when you render it, is means something is wrong with the original source video. This usually is the case when you use an analog device to capture video from TV or convert from other format, and the frame rate is low.

@guerillabill i have hd720p videos if i were to change the bitrate to 1mb in the custom settings would it affect the hd of my video?
sorry i dont have vegas yet so i cant test it out myself
iRlazyGoat 1 year ago
@iRlazyGoat Lowering the bit rate always affects quality, but it may not be apparent depending on what you do with the video - YouTube, web site, DVD .. .
For HD settings for YouTube see my video 'Sony Vegas Movie Studio HD widescreen settings for YouTube '
guerillabill 1 year ago
On sony vegas how do you make it so that the video fills the entire screen on youtube?
mattsarg 1 year ago
@mattsarg To get widescreen on YouTube, you'll either need to start with wide screen video, and render to widescreen format. Or use pan & crop to make standard video widescreen. See my YouTube video 'Convert video to wide format for YouTube - Sony Movie Studio '
guerillabill 1 year ago
I have Vogas Movie Studio Platinum 9. My Custom settings don't look like tese and i dunno what to do. I don't even have Birtrate menu. The Audio menu is way more complicated and i can't see any :"CBR". What should I do?
danutz1996 1 year ago
@danutz1996 As shown in the video above, set the audio to CBR first, then the video settings will appear as shown in the video
guerillabill 1 year ago
@guerillabill Oh never mind, i have found out what to do. Thanks for fat replying. But with those settings it took me 2 hours for a 10 minutes video to render. Wasn't it supposed to be faster?
danutz1996 1 year ago
@danutz1996 Render speed will be dependent on the length of the video, the amount of effects used, the amount of RAM in your computer, the amount of hard drive space, the speed of your CPU, and the file format chosen.
If the source video is mov, mpeg4, or compressed with divx or xvid, render times could be tripled.
For fast renders for youtube, start with true avi or mts video, and render to .wmv

what is the difference between the pro and movie studio version?
bibcute 1 year ago
@bibcute The Pro and Movie Studio versions have the same screen layout, same workflow, most of the same features.
The Pro version has unlimited video and audio track, while Movie Studio has a limit of 4 video, 4 audio tracks.
The pro version has masking and other effects not found in Movie Studio.
The pro version has a retail price of over $500. Movie Studio Platinum is around $90.

@CarbyForever If your video widescreen, don't use the above settings. Use the ones I show in 'widescreen video for youtube sony movie studio'.
If your video is not widescreen, you can convert to widescreen using the settings I show in 'Convert video to wide format for YouTube - Sony Movie Studio'

I have this set up on my Sony Vegas and it used to work great, but now for some reasons I get dropped frames when I render. The original avi is fine. Is it my camera or something I need to change in Sony? You can see my latest video how choppy and bad it looks.
destroyahdes 1 year ago
@destroyahdes Generally dropped frames during rendering means the source video wasn't full frame rate. That happens with video from still camera, video games, flip cameras and highly compressed mp4 or mov videos
guerillabill 1 year ago
@guerillabill Oh that's annoying. It is a cheap still camera. That's too bad. Then I need to find a better camera. Thanks.
