  Total amature needing assistance please!

  I recently shot an interview on a Canon 7D. The settings used were:
  PAL
  1280×720
  50fps

  I pulled the footage into Vegas 7.0, seperated the usable parts, did a slight color correction, My client says the final format needs to be Apple DV PAL. When I try to render it to any format, the software either shuts down, or locks up. Is there any way to do this in Vegas 7?

  Thanks

  The Canon HDSLRs, and many modern camcorders, use some form of AVC video compression. This is not well supported in older versions of Vegas, or for that matter, older versions of any NLE.

  If they’re saying “Apple PAL DV”, that means rendering to a Quicktime wrapper using the Apple DV CODEC. That’s pretty easy to do, but I suspect the problem is the fairly ancient Vegas 7’s dealings with the AVC format.

  You can download a functional demo of Vegas 10, which does AVC just dandy, and that can be installed in parallel with Vegas 7. That’s the thing to try today.
