how did you put the videos like that in the end plz respond

[TechniTuts]

@bugsuly Sony vegas pan and crop works well.

[TheTrojan665]

It looks great and works well except for the brightness. I copied the exact settings for my MW2 video and it comes out really dark. Why is that?

[TechniTuts]

Because this was made before MW2, so the setting wont be perfect for MW2.

The boosted video looks like it has a blue tint to it...I don't like that very much, do you know why that effect is there?

Also, where can I modify the video bitrate? I dont see it and cannot find it anywhere. Surely a proper rendering program like Vegas should have it.... My output file is about 1/3 the size of the original. My common sense tells me that if you cut out 2/3 of data, you're cutting out 2/3 the quality.

Question: Is there a way to force render 59FPS at 1920x1080? In the project properties if I have 1920x1080 selected and then select 59FPS on the next drop down below, the resolution drop down automatically reverts back to 1280x720. The highest frame rate I could select at 1920X1080 was 29. The original raw video in VLC player's codec statistics shows to be playing at 59FPS. I would like to keep that frame rate but still improve the picture quality as you suggested in the video.

[Bradbssargdons]

cool. the result is a huge difference.

What did you Render it as?
