Can someone please help me? I am so frustrated trying to get this to work. My camera records in 16:9. When I edit in Vegas, the preview shows in 16:9. But I can not for the life of me figure out how to render the video so that it remains 16:9. Every option either squishes the video or puts two big black bars on the top and bottom or both sides. Can you please tell me what settings I need to make it render correctly so I can upload my video to YouTube? I have Vegas Movie Studio 9.

Here is a picture. As you can see the aspect ratio of the preview is correct: http://i50.tinypic.com/ivicxv.jpg I just need to know what settings to render it correctly. Please help! I have spent hours trying to figure this out and being given the run around by support and I'm exhausted.

Try using these render settings. With these render settings, you will also get the pixel options: 240p, 360p, 480p, 720p, 1080p, and original; preview of pixel options on this video.

Thank you for your response. I don't have Vegas Pro, I am just running the regular version of Vegas Movie Studio, and I don't see all of those options. Is it possible to render video in 16:9 with the non-pro version of Vegas Movie Studio?

Edit: Never mind, I was looking in the wrong place. When I select any of the settings that would give it the right aspect ratio, I get an error message that reads "The custom template you selected is not valid with the current project settings. It has been removed from the template list."

I rendered something in 1920x1080 last night and it "worked", but not really.  The file would play, but Media Player couldn't tell any information about it (frame size, etc) and YouTube puked when I tried to upload it.

I'll play around with these settings to see if I can't get the elusive 1080 working for me!  Thanks a lot!

Is it compressed at all? I know that sometimes uncompressed footage will not work with most media players, because of the file size.When I upgraded to Sony Vegas 9 pro, it wasn't detecting my divx codecs, I have to get different ones to support anything of good quality. It would just render uncompressed.

Might be something worth checking.

Here is how - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SN5qQ8k_dnE

And if you want to save in 1080p watch this next http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EcqL067lCkc&annotation_id=annotation_947148&feature=iv

DOES NOT NEED PRO WILL WORK IN ANY VERSION

Thank you but I already know how to get it to show up right in Vegas Movie Studio. My problem is that whenever I render it the video looks stretched.

Are you rendering media on a 4:3 ratio in 16:9?

Are you rendering media on a 4:3 ratio in 16:9?

I'm afraid I don't understand your question. My camera records in 16:9, but I cannot seem to render a video that is 16:9. The only setting I found that worked contained no sound.

If anyone happens to be looking at this thread in the future who has the same problem, here's what I've been doing:

Render the video as NTSC DV Widescreen. Open the stretched video in AVI Demux (free), and go to Video > Filters. Select "Resize" and uncheck "Maintain Aspect Ratio." Change the "height" to 406. Then save the video. You will lose some of the quality this way but at least the picture won't be stretched anymore. It's still annoying that there's apparently no way to render it correctly directly from Vegas Movie Studio though, even though they advertise that they support 16:9.
