  How do I get my video into Vegas

  Posted by Jacob Filek on May 1, 2008 at 12:51 am

  How can I get my video into Vegas to edit?
  I have shot the footage on my Sony HDR-SR12.
  Connected to my computer via the supplied USB 2.0 cable.
  My computer specs are:( WinXP SP2.0 Pentium D 3.2 GHz 2GB ram).
  Import the video via the supplied Sony software “PMB”. (Picture Motion Browser) The files are AVCHD 1080i Format with a m2ts extension.

  Vegas 8.0b does not reconize the m2ts format.
  The PMB will convert to WMV but this reduces quality.

  What am I missing?

  my Sony HDR-SR12 camcorder only has USB.
  Is there any other way?

  Does Vegas support USB?

  move the files to your hd!

  Sony Vegas 8.0, Ulead Video Studio 11, and Pinnacle Studio 11 support AVCHD. Mac users have support for AVCHD out of the box as the new iMovie ‘08 supports the format and Apple has also added AVCHD support to Final Cut Express 4. The Sony HDR-SR12 ships with Picture Motion Browser 2.0, a very simple video editor that won’t get you very far. Before you purchase software, be sure to research that it will accommodate the camcorder brand. Though AVCHD is shared between Sony, Panasonic, Canon, and others, each tweaks the codec just enough to ensure incompatibility with something you own.
