  • Pro 9 – Getting Video Off Camera???

    Posted by Ray Jender on June 9, 2009 at 12:22 am

    I’m trying to learn the ins and outs of Sony Vegas.

    I have a Sony SR11. There is a .MTS clip on it.

    How do I import or read it into Vegas?

    Each time I try something it says cannot open it?

    It does this with .MTS files I have on the computer already!

    Any ideas?

    Oh, one more thing. I have Cyberlink PowerDirector and
    I can drag and drop .MTS files right into it with no porblems.

    Ok, figured it out.

    For cryin out loud…Sony Vegas wants a Sony .m2ts format file and
    not .MTS!!!

    I have to use Sony Picture Motion Browser to pull it off the Sony camera.
    It does some magic and creates a Sony .m2ts!!!

    Like I said before, the cheapo Cyberlink will let me drag and drop
    the Sony .MTS files!!!

    Notice everything is Sony’s!!!! 🙂

    Takes a bit more time but alls well….

    Ray, forget about the software that came with the camera (it’s junk). Just plug your SR11 into your computer and in Sony Vegas Pro 9.0 use View | Device Explorer and you should have no problems getting you video from your camera.

    But what about .MTS clips I already have on the computer?
    They need to be .m2ts

    Vegas Pro 9.0 should be able to read your .mts files. I have Sony HDR-CX12 and it reads mine just fine. If your Vegas can’t read .mts files perhaps the installation is corrupt and you should re-install? It is also possible that the Cyberlink software is conflicting with Vegas. This should just work.
