  Canon VIXIA media (.MTS) & Vegas Movie Studio HD Plat.

  Posted by John Mccann on June 2, 2011 at 10:10 pm

  Just wanted to share my experience in working with SONY Vegas Movie Studio HD Platinum rel. 10. I shoot video with a Canon VIXIA HF S100 at 1920×1080, Canon quality setting: ‘MXP’ (24 Mbps), Frame Rate: Canon PF24 (progressive 24fps). The camera generates AVCHD files with a file extension of .MTS. I process the media with Cineform’s NeoScene rel. 5.5.1 which creates .AVI files that I place on the Vegas Movie Studio timeline. I edit and then render files for upload to You Tube using the Sony AVC codec at full 1920×1080, 25fps. To my eye, the 25fps appears less ‘stuttery’ when played over You Tube (as opposed to 30fps).

  For loading onto the Apple iPod Touch, I render Sony AVC files at a resolution of 640×480 *BUT* I’ve found that the framerate needs to be 30fps.

  For upload to Facebook, I render Sony AVC files at a resolution of 640×360 at 30fps.

  Hi,

  Thank you for posting this. I too have a Canon VIXIA (the HF M40)and though I am very happy with the camera itself (probably the most practical in its price range), I have had quite bit of trouble working with MTS files as they are quite choppy in Vegas’ preview window. Unfortunately, I do not have Cineform’s Neoscene and it’s quite expensive for something that i will only use to convert files for editing (I didn’t have to do that at all with my old camera which produced AVI’s off the bat, nor when i borrow my friend’s camera which records in M2T).

  I have tried Apecsoft’s free converter but Vegas doesn’t recognise the AVI files it produces (video track appears as “Media Offline” in trimmer while adio track is not there at all, and cannot be dragged into the timeline). Do you know of another free converter that you could recommend? I would greatly appreciate working around this little problem.

  Thanks in advance,
  Lazar

  @Lazar– I don’t know of any free converters, but, I’m not really a techie. I was glad to pick up on the mentions of NeoScene on the COWS forums and I’ve stuck with it.

  Thanks for replying John. I’ll post my query in a new thread and hopefully someone will know what I can do. If not, I might have to consider getting Neoscene.
