I am on a budget, but I can afford about $600 on the camcorder. I was wondering if anyone had any opinions on this camera for the type of work, interviews and such, as I will require a mic for it. I'll probably be running Sony Vegas for the Editing software. rs170a on "How to successfully import a DVD" http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/how-to-successfully-import-a-dvd#post-73191 Tue, 06 Dec 2011 09:32:42 +0000 rs170a 73191@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ If you're like me, you periodically have to import a DVD. The problem has always been the short gap in the audio and video at the VOB break points.There are a variety of ways to work around this but now, thanks to Gary James on the Sony Vegas forum, there's a MUCH better and easier way.I'll quote his post verbatim. Vegas allows you to open up a DVD .IFO file. This imports the entire .VOB chain for both video and audio tracks. Click File / Open, then navigate to your VIDEO_TS sub directory and enter *.IFO in the File name input field. For a regular DVD you will see a VIDEO_TS.IFO, and a VTS_01_0.IFO. Select the VTS_01_0.IFO file and click on Open. Don't try this on a DVD disk because Vegas will try to build an .sfk file containing audio peaks in the VIDEO_TS directory.

All I want is to burn my edited (simple title, transition) AVCHD files to a regular DVD disc and keep the 1920x1080 resolution. I've been pulling my hair tying to figure this out. DVD Architect doesn't seem to support HD resolution, as it always wants to resample my video to DVD resolution. The closest thing I came to a solution is to click "make movie" >"Burn it to a DVD, Blu-ray disc, or CD. > "Blu-ray disc". I tried both video format, and the program was able to burn without errors. While I can play the DVD on my PC (stutter and all), my PS3 doesn't seem to see it as a "movie" disc, but instead a DATA disc. That said, it wont play the disc automatically. I can go through the folder, and into to the "Stream" folder. I can click the file there, and it will play, but that doesn't seem right. Oh, and there are only two choice for burn speed (1.0x, and 2.0x) instead of the actual 24.0x speed. Anyway, please advise. I was using pinnacle studio 12 prior to Vegas, and I believe Pinnacle can burn full HD content on a regular DVD without a problem. If only Pinnacle can handle AVCHD files without begging for mercy (even on my Quad system). I'm really liking Vegas, and will probably switch, but I'm getting frustrated about this particular issue. I'm pretty sure there's a away (short of getting the PRO version, which I really don't need), someone just need to point me in the right direction. Thank you in advance.

I just did some speed tests of renders - Results are posted below, but I will not waste time fully upgrading to Pro 11. The advertised speed upgrades from Pro 9 to Pro 10 were fairly minimal in practice, but they definitely found out how to harness GPU power in Pro 11. <ol> <li>First I took a fully edited and color corrected (short) wedding ceremony I did earlier this month. My source files were about 75% HDV (as 25Mb/s .m2t files from my Z5U) and about 25% AVCHD (as 17Mb/s .MTS files from my NEX5). My destination file was a 16Mb/s .m2ts (AVCHD) file I use to compile blu-ray discs with.</li> </ol> <ul> <li>Using Vegas Pro 10:</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Project Length: 0:21:32 Time to Render from mixed AVCHD and HDV sources: 1:32:27</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Using Vegas Pro 11:</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Project length: 0:21:32 Time to render from mixed HDV and AVCHD sources: 0:43:31</li> </ul> <ul> <li>I would guess that if I had straight cuts and not dissolves this would be a MUCH faster render as it stutters a bit with every dissolve transition. In any case it was still over 2x faster to render with Vegas Pro 11.</li> </ul> 2. Second I did a render from one minute unedited clips. <ul> <li>Source file for clip 1 - AVCHD (as 17Mb/s .MTS file from my NEX5) and destination file was a 16Mb/s .m2ts file (AVCHD)</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Using Vegas Pro 10:</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Project Length: 0:01:00 Time to Render from AVCHD to AVCHD: 00:03:01</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Using Vegas Pro 11:</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Project Length: 0:01:00 Time to Render from AVCHD to AVCHD: 00:01:19</li> </ul> 3. Lastly I did another render from one minute clips: <ul> <li>Source file for clip 2 - HDV (as 25Mb/s .M2T file from my Z5U) and destination file was a 16Mb/s .m2ts file (AVCHD)</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Using Vegas Pro 10:</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Project Length: 0:01:00 Time to Render from HDV to AVCHD: 00:02:55</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Using Vegas Pro 11:</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Project Length: 0:01:00 Time to Render from HDV to AVCHD: 00:01:17</li> </ul> This is starting to be almost rendering at triple speed in Vegas Pro 11 compared to Pro 10 - in fact it seems that AVCHD is well on the way to be able to be rendered in close to real time. If I had the newest graphics cards out there, it just might happen. It was not long ago that rendering DVD .mepg files took far longer than real time to render, and do not worry about those in Vegas Pro 11. Vegas Pro 11 will create your 720x480 MPEGs at 3x-4x real time! For reference, my graphics card is a nVidia 1GB GTX285 - a dinosaur compared to the newest nVidia cards!

I am assuming that the template is supposed to match my media. In other words, if I shot in HD, I should make sure my template matches those HD settings. If I shot in SD, I should make sure the template matches that such as NTSC DV 720x480. I am also assuming that you just render to whatever media you want your final project on. So, in my case, I have footage shot in HD. I want to edit it in Vegas, yet I want to have the option to output it to both HD Bluray and SD DVD. Is it as simple as me just setting up the template in HD, then choosing to render as either HD for BluRay or SD for DVD? Setting up the template in HD for editing but then rendering to SD will not cause issues will it?! Many thanks. navyspecwarfare on "AVCHD .mts to Standard DVD in Sony Vegas and DVD Architect?!" http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/avchd-mts-to-standard-dvd-in-sony-vegas-and-dvd-architect#post-58856 Fri, 21 May 2010 23:28:02 +0000 navyspecwarfare 58856@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ When I drop my AVCHD .mts clips from my Canon HF10 camera into Sony Vegas Platinum (consumer version), and then use the make DVD wizard, it renders and then sends my media files to DVD architect 4.5 and then burns my DVD to look spectacular.Â This is fantastic because my project I'm working on is going on 4.7GB DVDs for commercial DVD players or computers. I simply shot in HD because I wanted the option in the future to burn to Blu-ray, but won't be doing that as of yet. I don't want to use Sony Vegas Platinum though....I want more advanced options and more options later for BluRay, etc etc etc and thus need to edit, render, send the edited/rendered files to DVD architect pro 5.0, and then burn to DVD using Sony Vegas Pro, not Platinum. Sony Vegas Pro does not have this streamlined "make DVD" option like the nice consumer version does. After editing in Vegas Pro, I have to manually render my project using the plethora of options available, which honestly, I don't know much about. I've tried rendering using NTSC widescreen for DVD architect (MPEG-2), I've tried HDV with high settings, etc etc etc and when I drop these rendered files into DVD Architect, they don't turn out well quality-wise like they did in Sony Vegas Platinum using the automatic make DVD settings.Â I simply want to render these edited .mts files to a format that DVD architect will like and then burn in high quality so my DVDs look good on any DVD player with a standard monitor or HD monitor.Â Vegas Platinum does a great job, but it's unknown to me what it is doing behind the scenes to render my files before it sends them off to DVD architect. Obviously it works great given my test with Vegas Platinum and native .mts files, but I have no idea what Vegas Platinum is doing to convert or render these editing .mts files to make them still high quality and smooth for DVD architect.Â I just need to know how to replicate this process manually in Vegas Pro and I'm set. So to recap, and in a nutshell, I need to know what render settings to choose in Vegas Pro after editing my .mts files natively so I can then send them over to DVD architect pro 5.0 and burn my project to a DVD without loss of visual quality. Any help greatly appreciated. navyspecwarfare on "How to edit MTS files?!?!" http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/how-to-edit-mts-files#post-57600 Mon, 19 Apr 2010 15:39:09 +0000 navyspecwarfare 57600@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ I have 20 DVDs worth of unedited .MTS files from a Canon Vixia HD prosumer camera. I need to edit these using Sony Vegas, which supposedly supports .mts. Within Vegas however, when I preview my clips on the timeline, the quality is terrible. I get a single frame in the window every 2 or 3 seconds making editing impossible. Apparently this is a common problem with .mts. How do I go about being able to edit .mts in Vegas? If that's not possible, how do I go about converting the .mts to a file that Vegas will support for smooth editing? I have an Acer Aspire laptop running 4GBs of DDR3, a Duo 2.26 Ghz processor, 1066 Mhz FSB, 3 MB L2, 320GB harddrive, and my project files are on external 500GB hard drive. I have the 512 MB NVIDEO GeForce 9600M GT in the laptop. These must be for professional DVD output, so if I convert, I can't lose any visual quality for when I put them on DVD.

I also bought Cineforms NeoScene and Magic Bullets Mojo. Let’s say that I have a 3 minute video with about 50 clips…..do I import all my clips onto the timeline together and edit, apply the effects etc or, should I just import one clip at the time, edit it, add effects etc and then export it for use later on? If I import one clip at the time….in what format should I render it for later use in the making of the 3 minute video? Thank you all very much in advance for your time and help. Best wishes.

Been using Vegas Platinum 8.0, and I love it. I've learned to really make it sing. Now - I have definite plans to upgrade something around the first of 2011. My options are: go to Vegas Pro (unltd tracks might be nice) or upgrade the cam. I love recording to the SD card. I could go up to an HD cam, or I could even go to 3CCD, but that would mean recording to tape. I'm in the exploratory stage right now. I would appreciate your suggestions. peggig on "Unlinking audio track from video track in Vegas 10" http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/unlinking-audie-track-from-video-track-in-vegas-10#post-60039 Sat, 03 Jul 2010 18:04:22 +0000 peggig 60039@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ Is it possible to unlink the audio from the video forÂ a specific clip? I understand you can unlink all the audio tracks from all the video tracks for the entire project, but there seems to be no way to unlink the audio from the video for a single clip. Sometimes I need to speed up part of a clip, but I don't want to speed up the audio. In Adobe Premiered Elements, this is easy to do. I just split the clip before and after the part I want to speed up, unlink the audio from the video in just that subclip, speed up the video track, and crop the audio track to match the new length. Then I group them so they stay linked if I move the clip later. And all the other video and audio in the project is unaffected. I actually do this quite frequently, for example, to speed up a slow pan. And sometimes I want to edit out an abrupt incongruous noise in the audio track, but not interrupt the continuity of the video track. It seems strange that there is no way to do this in Vegas without unlinking all the audio and video tracks in the entire project. ophelia on "Capture for all software" http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/capture-for-all-software#post-59857 Thu, 24 Jun 2010 08:25:25 +0000 ophelia 59857@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ Hopefully this is posted in the correct place: Is it possible to capture video with one type of software (ie: Sony Vegas) and edit the same footage with another (ie: Premiere Pro)? 2ten on "multiple videos" http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/multiple-videos#post-55012 Wed, 10 Feb 2010 05:53:01 +0000 2ten 55012@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ I will try and explain this briefly. I have videos on multiple tracks with composite mode set to 3D Source Alpha. I have "pushed back" the tracks, using Track Motion, so I have a checkerboard of 9 tracks playing. I want to, in turn, bring forward each track such that it plays full screen then push it back and bring another track forward, and so on. I have all 9 tracks playing in their respective spot but if I bring, for instance, the second track playing forward the video on the track above, of course, plays on top of it. Can this somehow be done by changing the "camera" by using the parent/child relationship? If so, I don't know how to maniplulate multiple track motions at once. Help!

This particular video is supposed to be a book review of our intro study. I normally render using the Sony AVC codec (H.264) and the Internet Widescreen 16:9 30p preset, and then I upload to Vimeo and YouTube.  However, with this particular video I also need to upload it to Amazon.com in 4:3, 99MB or less, and specifically .flv. (as Amazon.com won't take H.264 for a review). But before I can render it to FLV there is a rendering issue. Because of the current Vegas 9.0a Media Generators bug, I am using Photoshop to make titles. I also made a translucent yellow box for a 'highlighter' of sorts, which I resize over the area of text that I need highlighted with Track Motion. Because each 'highliter' needs different placement, this ends up giving me a lot of separate tracks (36). Everything came out nice (and properly aligned) with Sony AVC, 16:9 Widescreen HD 30p preset. However, when I rendered as Sony AVC, Internet SD 4:3 preset, the 'hiliter' and some of the secondary titling came out misaligned. This is most apparent starting at about 6:26 (6 minutes and 26 seconds). <CENTER><EMBED height=344 type=application/x-shockwave-flash width=425 src=http://www.youtube.com/v/-hDZWqWyoKk&hl=en&fs=1 allowfullscreen="true"></EMBED></CENTER> But why would everything render just fine in 16:9 Widescreen, and then be misaligned in 4:3 SD?  I would think that if there was to be a shift in the Track Motion, that it would end up being applied uniformly. Why did the alignment get thrown off?

Inexpensive Consumer Video Editing programs like <a href="http://www.videoguys.com/Brand/Pinnacle+%28by+Avid%29.aspx">Pinnacle Studio</a>, Adobe Premiere Elements, <a href="http://www.videoguys.com/Search/Search.aspx?Query=vegas+movie+studio">Sony Vegas Movie Studio</a>, Apple iMovie, Windows MovieMaker are easy and fun to use. In fact, I think they are pretty amazing. While these products can be purchased for less then one hundred dollars they deliver a level of performance and features that would have cost 10 times as much just 5 years ago! While these products allow you to edit your video, create slideshows, author DVDs and export them to the web, the actual features are limited and if you want to do some serious vide editing, you will find you can outgrow them pretty quickly. Consumer video editing products have trouble with long format productions. One of the biggest complaints we hear from consumer video editing software is that after 15 or 30 minutes the video editing become sluggish and the software can become erratic. Go even longer and more issues come up - the audio starts to become out of sync; the playback jitters; or worst of all the video and then the app just freezes up. <img title="Advanced NLE's" alt="Advanced NLE's" src="http://www.videoguys.com/Images/Blog/BlogEntryImages/collage.jpg" /> Advanced NLEs will all deliver perfect playback, regardless of the length and complexity of your production. If you are editing HD footage some formats and settings may require rendering before they will playback in full speed, but you will be able to adjust your playback settings in order to achieve a level of real-time that meets your needs.Ã?Â Most importantly they are extremely stable and reliable. If you are running into any playback issues with an advanced NLE it is probably caused by data throughput bottlenecks in your computer. We have several articles on our website which can help you tweak and optimize your computer for NLE. If you take the time to optimize your computer for editing, you will find that you can edit for hours and hours without any crashes or performance issues. Why do I want to invest in a "real" NLE for Video Editing? Buying an advanced NLE like <a href="http://www.videoguys.com/Item/Adobe+Premiere+Pro+CS4+for+PC/1333930323035363.aspx">Adobe Premiere Pro</a>, <a href="http://www.videoguys.com/Item/Apple+Final+Cut+Studio+2/23353464.aspx">Apple Final Cut Pro</a>, <a href="http://www.videoguys.com/Brand/Sony+Creative+Software.aspx">Sony Vegas</a>, <a href="http://www.videoguys.com/Item/Grass+Valley+EDIUS+v5+Editing+for+the+Digital+Generation+/630333634363.aspx">Grass Valley Edius</a>, or <a href="http://www.videoguys.com/Item/Avid+Media+Composer+35+-+1%2c995+extended+thru+7-15/1303D20303030323D203035373.aspx">Avid Media Composer</a> will not give you better video quality or make editing easier; what they will give you is a far more powerful set of tools that will allow you to be more creative and produce video content that is better and more entertaining to watch. The reason to buy one of these more expensive advanced editing programs is simple: to be able to tell your story better. That's what the heart of video editing is, taking a collection of media, video clips, audio, images and graphics - then putting them together to tell a story. The longer the story you want to tell, the more important it is to use more sophisticated tools to keep your audiences attention. Once you decide to graduate from point and shoot productions and simple slide shows into storytelling you will want the right tools for the job. In this article we will go into some of the most important tools found in our advanced NLEs and their superior workflow. <a href="http://www.videoguys.com/Guide/E/What+is+the+Difference+Between+Consumer+Video+Editing+Software+and+Real+NLEs+Non+Linear+Editing/0x5ba89e5673caa709967ac4699dbd7dc7.aspx">Read the full guide here </a> Gary Cville on "DVD Cam Editing" http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/dvd-cam-editing#post-49336 Tue, 21 Jul 2009 05:55:01 +0000 Cville 49336@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ I took on a project for a friend to do a little editing on her vacation videos shot with a Canon mini dvd camera model 320.
