When I transferred some HD video, AVCHD to be specifically, to my PC for editing in Vegas 8 Pro I get a "format not supported" error. I just couldn't believe it! If Sony Vegas Pro 8 can not handle 1920*1080 AVCHD videos whey B&amp;H sell the two as a bundle in the first place? <br />I'm all new to video stuff and editing as well, I just need a simple solution to help me import SR12 AVCHD files to Vegas Pro 8 successfully. I've tried Picture Motion Browser PMB for my editing purpose as someone suggested on some forum, but the software crash so often that I can barely get it to work. From some threads on creativecow, I tried out a program called <strong><a href="http://www.aunsoft.com/final-mate/">Aunsoft Final Mate</a></strong>, which is exclusively designed assistant software for HD camcorder users proclaimed by its developer Aunsoft Studio. Honestly speaking, I'm very happy with the result. As far as I can tell, <a href="http://www.aunsoft.com/convert_sony_hdr_sr12_avchd_videos_export_wmv_to_sony_vegas_pro_8/">converted videos from Sony SR12 AVCHD 1920*1080 M2TS videos to Sony Vegas</a> WMV(VC-1) format work smoothly on Sony Vegas Pro 8 and there is no degradation of picture quality from naked eyes. <br /><img src="http://www.aunsoft.com/img/guide/guide-20110413/convert-avchd-to-sony-vegas.jpg" /> <br />Besides that, Aunsoft Final Mate also allows me to <strong><br /><a href="http://www.aunsoft.com/final-mate/manage_the_movies_in_the_program.html">merge all my AVCHD video clips into one single file</a></strong> on a timeline basis, which have saved lots of time for me. <br /><img src="http://www.aunsoft.com/img/online-help/final-mate/create-a-movie-by-adding-to-timeline.jpg" /> <br />I recommend this product for people who have similar problems with me about AVCHD importing to Sony Vegas Pro 8. At the same time, try not buy the Sony SR12 and Vegas Pro 8 bundle. Trust me. It's not a happy experience.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/avchd-mts-to-standard-dvd-in-sony-vegas-and-dvd-architect#post-66762 Mon, 28 Mar 2011 19:20:01 +0000 XTR-91 66762@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>render:</p> <p>8.5mbps</p> <p>MPEG-2</p> <p>720x480</p> <p>60i</p> <p> </p> <p>then import to dvd architect</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/avchd-mts-to-standard-dvd-in-sony-vegas-and-dvd-architect#post-66760 Mon, 28 Mar 2011 19:18:49 +0000 six2735 66760@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> I am using Vegas Pro 8.0 with DVD Architect 4.5, if you go to VASST web site and order their training DVD's you will get the information you need.

I do that so that I can run previews always at full/best.  Make sure you are running at least i7 Quadcore processor at minimum 2.8 Ghz.  Make sure you have at least 6GB of at least 1033 or 1333 mhz RAM.  I recommend 8+ gigs. </p> <p>Vegas likes processor power and RAM, not so much video card power. Unfortunately for the latter as I bought a $450 AMD Radeon 5870 when it came out hoping it would add mad power to Vegas, but it didn't.  Vegas likes processor and RAM power. </p> <p>Also, make sure you use three hard drives.  One for Windows, one for project media, and one for renders.  This will speed things up considerably.  If you can afford Solid State...get it.  </p> <p>I advise against RAID and favor SSD instead...I heard that for video editing, RAID can actually slow things down as contradictory as that seems...</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/avchd-mts-to-standard-dvd-in-sony-vegas-and-dvd-architect#post-63501 Sun, 14 Nov 2010 21:49:18 +0000 mailber350 63501@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> You will get something useful in the following post:</p> <p><a href="http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/avchd-help"><strong><a href="http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/avchd-help" rel="nofollow">http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/avchd-help</a></strong></a></p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/recommended-hardware-for-running-vegas-platinum#post-61698 Mon, 23 Aug 2010 14:09:29 +0000 birdcat 61698@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I have given this advice for many years.</p> <p>1) Chip &amp; Motherboard &amp; Chipset - The fastest, biggest, most advanced you can possibly get.  Look for 1394, eSATA, SATA &amp; lots of USB headers on the MB.</p> <p>2) RAM - Enough to use, you can always add more (if you get #1)</p> <p>3) Hard Drive - Enough to use, you can always add more (if you get #1)</p> <p>4) Video &amp; Sound cards - Enough to use, you can always get better ones (if you get #1)</p> <p>5) Case - Big - with lots of expansion space.</p> <p>6) Power supply - Big enough - You can always get a bigger one if need be.</p> <p>7) OS - Whatever you'd like to use for the life of the machine (upgrading OS is a royal pain - last time I did so without problems was NT 3.51 to NT 4 and even then there were bumps).</p> <p>Bottom line - figure out your budget and then spend 60% of it on #1 (assuming you already have a decent monitor), leaving 40% for all the rest.</p> <p>That's why I still have a usable six year old Pentium IV machine today that runs Vegas Pro 8 without problems.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/recommended-hardware-for-running-vegas-platinum#post-61687 Sun, 22 Aug 2010 12:25:20 +0000 aaroninbna 61687@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>My recommendation would be, build what you can afford. If I was going to build you a workstation, I would start with a Quad core unit, Windows 7 64bit, a minimum of three hard drives (c:\OS and programs only, d:\RAW footage, e:\project data) and a minimum of 4 gigs of RAM.

I think that mts files are system hogs. When I edit, I set the preview settings to auto, I disable my internet connection and disable any running functions of norton anti-virus to free up cpu resources. this usually makes editing more bearable. I am running a AMD dual core @ 3.2 ghz on windows xp at 32 bits. So you should see a bigger difference than I do. this should help you.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/avchd-mts-to-standard-dvd-in-sony-vegas-and-dvd-architect#post-59054 Wed, 26 May 2010 10:54:16 +0000 wyz3rd 59054@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>When adding my m2ts files to Sony Vegas Platinum 9, it appears to stutter during timeline playback and is very slow to render any sort of output file.  Have you had similar results?

I simply shot in HD<br /> because I wanted the option in the future to burn to Blu-ray, but won't<br /> be doing that as of yet. </p> <p>I don't want to use Sony Vegas Platinum though....I want more<br /> advanced options and more options later for BluRay, etc etc etc and thus<br /> need to edit, render, send the edited/rendered files to DVD architect<br /> pro 5.0, and then burn to DVD using Sony Vegas Pro, not Platinum. </p> <p>Sony Vegas Pro does not have this streamlined "make DVD" option like<br /> the nice consumer version does.<br /> After editing in Vegas Pro, I have to manually render my project using<br /> the plethora<br /> of options available, which honestly, I don't know much about. I've<br /> tried rendering using NTSC widescreen for DVD architect (MPEG-2), I've<br /> tried HDV with high settings, etc etc etc and when I drop these rendered<br /> files into DVD Architect, they don't turn out well quality-wise like<br /> they did in Sony Vegas Platinum using the automatic make DVD settings. <br /> I<br /> simply want to render these edited .mts files to a format that DVD<br /> architect will like and then burn in high quality so my DVDs look good<br /> on any DVD player with a standard monitor or HD monitor.  Vegas<br /> Platinum<br /> does a great job, but it's unknown to me what it is doing behind the<br /> scenes to render my files before it sends them off to DVD architect.<br /> Obviously it works great given my test with Vegas Platinum and native<br /> .mts files, but I have no idea what Vegas Platinum is doing to convert<br /> or render these editing .mts files to make them still high quality and<br /> smooth for DVD architect.  I just need to know how to replicate this<br /> process manually in Vegas Pro and I'm set. </p> <p>So to recap, and in a nutshell, I need to know what render settings<br /> to choose in Vegas Pro after editing my .mts files natively so I can<br /> then send them over to DVD architect pro 5.0 and burn my project to a<br /> DVD without loss of visual quality. </p> <p>Any help greatly appreciated. </p> <p> </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/preferred-order-of-editing-vegascinescore#post-36581 Fri, 16 May 2008 19:05:16 +0000 FallingStarFilms 36581@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I just got Cinescore and I'm also using VMS plat.  I don't even have to open Cinescore to use it.  Just right click on the Music channel of the time line in Vegas and click insert generated music.  Ceniscore opens and runs in Vegas.  I've only  been playing with this for a couple of hours but it is incredibly easy and fun!</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/recommended-hardware-for-running-vegas-platinum#post-35010 Sat, 09 Feb 2008 06:26:20 +0000 andyedits 35010@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Ditto the earlier comment about Vegas running well on just about any computer.  I run Vegas Studio Platinum on a Dell E520 running two gigs of ram and it works great.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/recommended-hardware-for-running-vegas-platinum#post-34933 Mon, 04 Feb 2008 17:53:01 +0000 aaeuser 34933@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I use vegas 8.0 with 2gb of ram and it works perfectly.  I am also on a vista.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/recommended-hardware-for-running-vegas-platinum#post-34932 Mon, 04 Feb 2008 16:38:48 +0000 Johnboy 34932@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Vegas runs well on any computer, it all depends on what you are doing as to how much horsepower you will need.</p> <p>John</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/recommended-hardware-for-running-vegas-platinum#post-34906 Sat, 02 Feb 2008 10:11:56 +0000 DaveArthur 34906@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I run a Final Cut-based studio.

I just purchased Cinescore.</p> <p>Is there a preferred order to editing? Should I do all my video stuff first, then add the music via Cinescore? I'm guessing this is the correct way to do it since if I mess with the video after making music, I'll be busting up the nice music or the timing of the video. If I want to make changes in the video after doing the music in Cinescore, is it a big hassle to correct the music?</p> <p>So, maybe I should ask this: After completing the video editing, I add the music and get it just right. Then, I save the project, but import it into Sony DVD Architect (using Movie Studio Platinum), right. And there is no quality downgrade by using this process?</p> <p>Or, what would be the right process/order to use Sony Movie Studio Platinum and Cinescore?</p> <p>Additionally, I have Cakewalk Music Creator. Are there any good free tutorials on how to make music using loops. I can't quite put my brain around the instructions that came with it.</p> <p>Sorry if this is a dumb question, but thanks for any help/opinions.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/novice-need-help#post-34779 Fri, 25 Jan 2008 14:17:26 +0000 Johnboy 34779@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>curious as to why you didn't hook up through firewire....., that's the best and most stable way to capture to your computer</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/novice-need-help#post-34766 Thu, 24 Jan 2008 17:19:38 +0000 fatome 34766@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;I got the Camcorder - Panasonic mini-DV320.<br /> &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Nice.<br /> &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Bought Vegas Platinum 8.  Connected USB cable, captured my first video but didn't get the sound.<br /> &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Did I have to connect RCA cables?<br /> &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Please help. </p>
