  HD in Vegas

  Posted by Blaksheep on February 21, 2007 at 6:08 pm

  Okay, I hope I explain this correctly:

  I shoot (usually) in HD, then capture the footage into Vegas 6. It captures as m2t files. I’m working with a 2.4ghz PC, so I have to convert the m2t file with Cineform – which converts the file to avi.

  Now to my question. I want to edit the footage and then transfer my finished product back to HD (HD to DV tape). I’m not understanding the process for some reason. How can I transfer a file from m2t to avi, then go back to m2t on DV tape? I’m getting into cable commercial work, and I want the best visual quality to send to video production studios to transfer to BETA SP.

  My second question would be, should I just get a faster computer and avoid the HD to DV tape. If so, what’s the least amount of speed I need to effectively edit HD?

  I’d aprreciate any help that’s available.

  The first suggestion would be to upgrade to Vegas 7. It is MUCH better at working with m2t files, making an intermediate unnesesary.

  As I understand, the Cineform avi is a wrapper around the m2t which is especially good for editing but I’m not sure the footage ever quits being m2t. Someone else might supply more info here.
