5D Footage choppy?? What am I doing wrong???

There should be no need to disable resample if you set your project up properly to match your media as I suggested.

John, I agree, there SHOULD be no need. I know it was never needed when I used to edit in dv-avi and HDV. But with the Canon footage (5D & 7D), it is definitely needed to unselect sampling when slowing down events. Awful ghosting occurs otherwise. Maybe it’s because of the Canon compression.

do i need to turn of resampling before or after I add clips to the timeline?

You can only changed this setting for each event (clip) when it is on the timeline. Right-click and either set it with the “Switches” or go into the “Properties”.

Yes, when slowing down events I agree. But you only need it for the events you slow down. Not for everything.

Ok so I’ve spent the past 2 days trying out everything that was suggested and NOTHING has cured the issue… has anyone tried doing what was suggested or is it just in theory? I need something that works, and nothing is working. turning resampling off did nothing, adjusting the settings as was suggested did nothing. I guess I’ll have to go over to my brother’s and try editing on his Mac and see if that cures the issue… I read somewhere that 5D shoot in a format that Vegas has yet to be compatible with… and to edit using FCP or Adobe.
Well if you guys have anymore suggestions please let me know, I’d rather edit using Vegas but I have to do what I have to do.:\

What you read was extremely old and out of date. Vegas Pro has full support for Canon 5D/7D footage as of version 10.0. If fact, it was a specific advertised feature of Vegas Pro 10.0.

Unless your brother has Twixtor or an equivalent plug-in it’s not going to work on this Mac either.
What you are trying to do is PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE!!! This is why it requires a specialized plug-in as some have suggested to make it “digitally” possible. Here’s why:
You shot at a very slow frame rate (24p) and now you want to make slow motion from it. That’s never a good idea. It means the new frames must be synthesized from existing frames to create the information that doesn’t exist. If you turn off resample, you will get a jerky slide show as each frame is simply held longer. If you enable resample you get ghosting because existing frames MUST be blended to make new frames that don’t exist and any motion will produce a ghost.
What you need is to either shoot your footage at a faster frame rate if you know that you need slow motion, or you need a “smart” slo-mo plug-in like Twixtor or BorisFX BCC Optical Flow that will examine the motion within each frame and try to guess where it is going in order to produce the missing frames without the ghosting.
This has nothing to do with a Mac, Vegas, or the 5D. It has everything to do with the frame rate that you shot your footage with.
