Im back again

Just a question about rendering. Ive been rendering a project a lot to check it out in WMM program because I can see details of the vid better in that program. I was just wondering if constantly rendering the project affects quality. Im not talking about rendering over rendered video just whether the project on the timeline is affected by lots of rendering...if that makes sense

donna, do you mean does the quality diminish of a video of you open the project, render it then perhaps edit, and render again a few times? If so, then no

During the making of all my vids I render about ten times and it doesn't effect the quality of the final outcome on my final render

but as you said; if you render a video, import it and render it again, etc, then yes it does lower the quality

supbuttercup, I don't recognise the blur on that vid, sorry

The only one I know is the one in transitions.

i dont think its a transition; I think it's just the blurred effect at different strengths. you can lengthen the amount of blur you want and make it get stronger and weaker at different points but dragging the little diamond across the timeline. Here, screencaps should help :p

Go into Video FX and select Radial Blur. Then drag the first option Reset to None onto the clip/s you want the effect on. You'll get a screen like this:

Spoiler:

Then drag the little diamond along until you reach the point where you want the blur to start. Move the diamond to where you want it BEFORE you fiddle with the blur strength otherwise it tends to get trickier.

Spoiler:

Then you can fiddle with the strength of the blur. If you want the blur to gradually get stronger, move the diamond along at different points. For example, start the blur here:

Spoiler:

And then, don't drag the first diamond, but move the pointer to the END of the timeline.

Spoiler:

Then strengthen the blur. Another diamond will appear at the END of the timeline signaling a new effect has been added.

Spoiler:

Hope that helps!!

Does anyone know how to get the timeline on the Video FX window thing? (like in Kat's screen caps)

I have one on the pan/crop bit, but not on the video fx...I dunno if I've accidently clicked something to get rid of it or something, but I mooched around and couldn't find anything

Hmm, it should automatically be there once you have added an effect as far as I know

You could try resetting the settings to default ;/ Sometimes things do switch around on Vegas has a mind of it's own sometimes lol
