Big Problem, need a fix, Sony vegas choppy video from canon 7d, FCP
Hi guys, i have a dilemma here, here is what’s going on:
We shot a video with a canon 7D, and three clips with a canon 60d,
Sat down with an editor yesterday, who didnt pro-res the files for final cut pro, and just rendered the raw h264 files, now we have a deadline and I’m left to do audio, he rendered the copy of the video and gave it to me my hope was that: I would be able to open it up in sony vegas pro 11, and edit it, however the video is very choppy and the audio is laggy, I’m not sure what to do here? Im trying to convert the master copy to a .avi now via a converter I found.
essentially: I need the playback in vegas to be smooth so I can edit properly, I have a master copy in .mov, but the files were edited in FCP 7 as raw h264s, never pro-rezzed.
Thanks guys!

Thats because its a huge uncompressed file and your computer
is probably not powerful enough to handle it smoothly.
You could take your time and gradually edit in sections using
the dynamic ram preview.
Tell me, how long is this file?Steve Rhoden

Hi steve, it’s a 2 gig file.
I’ve been trying to convert it using mpeg stream clip to AVI and i lose my video, and only retain audio, I just get a white screen.
I was trying to convert it because I heard Sony Vegas dosen’t work well with h264s’

Render the file in Vegas Pro to Avid DNxHD. That’s a free digital intermediary format that would be the equivalent of ProRes 422 on a Mac.
