Why are my 1080 30p files importing as interlaced in Vegas Pro 9?
I shoot with a Sony NXCAM, and I import AVCHD files to my computer via the Content Management Utility program. When I drop the files into the Project Media bin in Sony Vegas Pro 9, I noticed when I right click on the file, click on Properties, then the General Tab, under ‘stream’ it says my files are 29.970 fps interlaced, 1920x1080x12, AVC. Shouldn’t it say my files are progressive if I shot 1080 30p?

If I drop a 1080p file on the timeline or in my project media tab, click on it, it says 1080p at the bottom if the project media window. Try this free utility which will tell you most everything about a video clip. It’s called Gspot. here’s the link to download it. It will tell you if your clips are 1080p or not.

Danny, thanks for the GSpont link, I’m about to try it out. I have another question maybe you can help me with. I’ve never used my camera for anything but web videos. I’m about to accept a gig for a guy who wants me to shoot an interview for him. He’s not very familiar with AVCHD, as am I since I just bought my NXCAM. So, what would make it easier for him; for me to hand him the SDHC card I shot the video on, or to dump the files to his external hard drive. I’m not sure what editing software he uses, but it’s video for a documentary intended for television. Giving him the card would be easier for me, but if I have to dump the files, I would simply import them to my computer’s hardrive via the Content Management Utility, then copy past the files to his hard drive, right?
