Is 4k 16:9 available in Vegas Pro 23?

I'm currently using the trial version of Vegas Pro 23.0. And it looks like my available export options are somewhat limited. The only two 4k options I see are 9:16 (portrait mode.) This is very surprising and almost alarming. I would almost never use those settings myself. I am looking specifically for 4k 16:9. Is the reason why I'm not seeing 4k 16:9 is because I'm using the trial version of the software? It would also be good if I had a choice between 24, 25 and 29.97fps with 4k 16:9.

I'm currently watching a youtube video on export settings of Vegas Pro 21 and with the selection of settings on display, I can only see 4k 9:16 which seems crazy to me.

Hi SilverFloor
My apologies once again, for not replying until today!
I am replying to many different messages all at the same time, after taking some personal time off, due to personal/family reasons.

4K 16:9 is most definitely available in VEGAS Pro 23 !!!

I wrote an extensive review for VEGAS Pro 23 here:
www.moviestudiozen.com/free-tutorials/vegas-pro/vegas-pro-23-review

If you skip to this section of my review, I show how to reveal ALL render (output) options in VEGAS Pro 23:

I also show the exact same thing in my video review.
If you watch this video directly on YouTube, you will find the TIME STAMP that will take you directly to the part that answers your question.
CLICK ON VIDEO TITLE inside of YT player, at top of video box, and it will open in YouTube. Chapters are in video desciption.


Regards
Derek

Hi SilverFloorI upgraded directly to VP23, so not sure what is available in the trial but I have seen discussions suggesting that the render template options in the VP23 trial are very limited, and more so than previous versions.However, as Derek advised, there is a comprehensive range of encoder and template options available in the paid version of VP23 (once you check the Show All Formats box as shown in Derek’s video).Cheers, Robbie
