Vasst question... at DVinfo.net

Not sure if this is the right thread. If its not, feel free to move it. I have purchased the GrafPak7 from Vasst for lower third graphics. When I import a graphic into an HD timeline in Sony Vegas 7, it gets stretched and the resolution is terrible. I think the plugin was intended for SD, but I couldnt find out for sure on the VASST site. Does anyone know a way to use these graphics on an HD timeline without losing resolution? Thanks!

Brandon,
The Grafpaks that contain actual images vs generated media do indeed suffer when imported to an HD timeline. By and large, the majority of the Paks don't use graphics.
Either way, open them up in an HD timeline, check the "Match Aspect Ratio" box, and you'll be set with regard to the generated media-type lower thirds.

Thanks Douglas for the quick response. I may not be able to use the plugin the way I originally intended, but by analyzing how it works, I was able to emulate it and come up with my own solution. So, it was worth the money anyway! Thanks VASST!
