Deinterlace – AVCHD Canon – HFS10
I am trying to capture fast moving subject (drums).
Sony Vegas 8.0 can import Canon HFS10 mts files with no problem.
However, I am unable to edit effectivly because the preview window is running at 1 fps.If you prerender a small section, upon playback you can see the preview window change from 1 fps to 30fps when it rolls over the prerendered section and the video preview looks flawless for that brief moment in time, then returns to 1 fps.
It would be impossible to prerender all of my edits as I have an edit every 4 – 10 seconds of footage.
Should I convert mts files to a more friendly format prior to editing? If so, what format/specs and recommended program to do this with.
Does the video card have much to do with the preview? Keep in mind the preview plays back perfect when it rolls over the pre-rendered section. I have nVidia GeForce4 MX 4000
Thank You in advance

Your video card has nothing to do with it. You could edit with DV proxies using a tool like VASST GearShift. You could also convert them to intermediaries with a tool like Cineform Neo Scene, or you convert them to HDV with a tool like AVCHD UpShift.
Of course, you could manually render to DV Widescreen, do all of your edits, then manually swap the DV media for the real HD media in the media pool but this gets tedious if you have a lot of files. This is essentially what GearShift automates for you.

No, the video card has very little to do with performance in Vegas. It can reduce performance if it steals main memory, but it cannot boost performance. A slow fps simply means that your computer is underpowered. Things that produce this are slow processors (cpu), inadequate memory, and insufficient hard drive performance.

Thank you Bob – as this gives me an idea. Being that we are editing large files, I had bought a USB 2 terabyte drive and prior to this I used to edit on the internal Hard Drives. I will try an relocate my project and files on an internal Hard drive and see if that helps and just use the other for storage.

Better speed will be produced if the video is not located on the same drive as the OS and the programs (i.e. the primary hard drive). Personally, I do not favor an external hard drive. I prefer a second internal hard drive. It should be large, fast, defragmented, and have lots of free space.
