I just got Infinite and have a scene setup but when creating the animation it looks all blurry and not in 3d. I dont know what I should be selecting for the render options but I want it to be sharp and not look crappy. My stills that I create all come out nicely so I am obviously not setting something right for animation. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try rendering as a series of still images... that option is available to you in your render options dialogue. I use Quicktime to pull them all together into a movie, though many other options exist.
This workflow has many advantages, and now I use it for all movie renders.

What exactly are your settings, and which codec are you using? As cspear says, the best way to get clean output is setting Vue for 'Full Frames Uncompressed' in format, and saving the output as bitmap, tga, tiff. Blurriness and lack of depth can be caused by a lot of combinations of settings...

I tried the method of rendering out to BMP files and then put them together in Vegas but it was like a slide show. What am I missing? I set the frames to 29fps in vegas.
I am using the quicktime codec and rendering at 30fps using the final output but Im sure i need to tweak some settings as motion blur is distorting the pics.

mykey, if you use vegas you cant use frag and drop, click on import (from the file menu), click the first image in the sequence, then tick the show options at the bottom of the import dialogue box, set your frame rate when asked. Then drag your created sequence (you will see a single, rather rectable frame created) and view it.
I also had the same issues as you when using vegas and it took me hours to work out!

Mykey - I haven't been happy with rendering to AVI but I love how it turns out when you render as a Quicktime movie - not still frames, but the actual movie - using the Sorenson3 codec and setting the quality to either next to best, or best (of the Sorenson codec - while keeping the Vue render quality to just Broadcast, believe it or not). You can drop this file directly into Vegas for editing or compositing.
I'm wondering if you ticked Depth of Field and didn't realize it (just throwing out ideas - hard to tell what you're asking without seeing it), and now it's "blurry"? Could you post a still frame of the middle of the animiation you're unhappy with (play the animation, pause in the middle and do a screen grab)?
