Vegas Pro Bagas31

Consideringthat my output render template is at 50 fps and the source footage is also 50 fps, do I need to change the project setting to 50 fps before rendering or will Vegas just figure it out and render correctly? This is something I might forget to do, so it would be handy to just leave it at 25 fps.

The reason for setting the project frame rate is so you can accurately preview the edits that you make. If your machine can't keep up, then the preview won't be accurate, anyway. Since your output frame rate is equal to your input, I'd change the project frame rate back to 50 FPS before the final render. Obviously there are benefits gained from lowering the project frame rate while editing. If there are sections where your 25 fps project frame rate may not be giving you an accurate depiction of the final output, you could change the project frame rate to 50 fps and use dynamic ram preview.

Project frame rate does not influence rendering. You could set your project frame rate to even 0.5 fps, while your media files and your render settings are 50p, your final output will be fine and clear 50p.

Same is for project frame size, field order and pixel aspect ratio which all is for setting the preview.

One can see frame blending when resample is set to "Smart Resample". With "Disable Resample" and the project frame rate set to half the media frame rate, every other frame is selectable when single stepping through the timeline.Hope someone finds this as entertaining as I do. I'm easily entertained...

@John D, To demonstrate the answer to John M's question, it would be useful if you left the project frame rate at 25p with that media set to "Smart Resample", render to 50p, bring back the rendered file to a 50p timeline, and see if it steps cleanly frame-by-frame through the numbers. Could even throw and extreme resize in there for fun too.

@john-mollaghan It would be worth you looking through this post for tips on improving timeline preview. Something in there may make enough difference that you can leave your project at 50p. -how-can-i-make-my-video-preview-play-smoothly-in-vegas-pro--104624/

That is not what I am overserving. First, don't use an image sequence. Render John's image sequence to a 50p file, insert it into a 25p project, set smart resample to on and render it to 50p; let me know what you see.

The image sequence is created at the project properties at the time it is created and its properties don't change when the project properties change. An image sequence created after the project properties change will adapt the changed project properties.

At a first glance I did hesitate, too, because of the use of an image sequence instead of using a regular video file. But I tested it with an own image sequence. It's what john_dennis said, project properties will set the image sequence's frame rate at the moment you generate the sequence. Once done it will keep the frame rate and there no difference between using a video clip.

Ok, I know what went wrong on my side. I had "Allow source to adjust frame rate" enabled in the render template, the rendered file was 30p and not 60p. However, if you render the 60p project with a 60p source to 30p with smart resample enabled Vegas will do a frame blend/interpolation of sorts.
