Sony Vegas Aliasing Control on Pan & Scan

[Jeff Mottle]

I'm just putting the final touches on the awards DVD for the event next Friday in Boston, but am having some problems with aliasing on some still images I am panning and scanning. Is there any way to reduce this? The only thing I can think is the same way as in animations which is to apply some blur to the original image. I've got to burn the final to DVD by tomorrow afternoon, so if anyone has any suggestions, please let me know asap.

 

Thanks!

 

Cheers,

Jeff

Was able to resolve the issue by applying a bit of Gaussian Blur to the images.

...am having some problems with aliasing on some still images I am panning and scanning.

 

I've been fighting this issue for a long time. I've never found a good solution other than the blur, but it doesn't fix the really bad spots. There has got to be a way to do this. I have even seen this on TV sometimes when they will pan and zoom on a still image. You get that jitter/shaking/aliasing look in the small details or on vertical or horizontal lines.

 

I've thought that maybe it was a interlace/de-interlace/lower fields/upper fields...blah...blah...blah. I don't know what that stuff really is so that is why I thought it might be the problem.

 

Vegas does have a "reduce interlace flicker" switch that you can set on each clip, but it doesn't really seem to fix it.

 

Anyone else have any advice?????

 

Good luck with the DVC event Jeff...wish I could go but I'm already out of town on a project.
