A couple of questions about Sony Vegas Pro 12

Hi all,

I recently got Sony Vegas Pro 12 and just have a couple of questions...

Firstly, does Sony Vegas automatically de-interlace when rendering interlaced videos? I've edited and rendered 2 videos successfully so far, but both of them were already progressive videos. The next file I'll be working with will be interlaced, and I want to know if Sony Vegas will de-interlace it for me when I render it, because I can't see any options that allow me to choose de-interlacing or not, and I don't want to spend the time editing a video, only to find out that Sony Vegas can't de-interlace or at least not very well.

My second question is: Does anyone know how to add a slight "glossy" look to my videos? I think "glossy" is the right word to use, but I've posted 2 images below of what I mean...

Below is a screenshot of a video that has been edited by someone who makes very good compilations of a certain football player (Cristiano Ronaldo). He always makes his videos look like this, and I quite like the look of it and I'd like to know how he does it. I know you're wondering why I don't just ask him, but I already did a while ago, but he hasn't replied to me. I guess he just doesn't want to reveal his secret...

This is what his videos look like after editing:




This is a snapshot of the same match which has just been encoded with normal encoding software




You can see there is a difference in colour. His video has a nice glossy look. I wouldn't want to encode a full match like this, but I think it looks good for video compilations.

Thanks in advance to anyone willing to help :)
