Batch Convert AVCHD to MXF
I have AVCHD footage in the form of numerous individual takes. I’d like to batch convert them to MXF or other suitable near lossless format for easier editing in SVP 12. Is there a way I can do that but keep the takes as separate files? If I try to use the script in Vegas 12 it converts them into one big seamless file. It would also be helpful to keep the original time code with each clip.
Can anyone help with this?

Hi Jim, if you place a region over each event in the timeline, then select batch render, your desired codec and the render regions button at the bottom of the batch render template; the batch render will render out separate files for each of the events with a region overlay.
If you have edited your video in AVCHD, and you have a lot events to put regions on by hand, you can use a plugin like the “VASST MarkerMaker” (about $10) to quickly apply regions to all clips and subclips simultaneously is a real time safer.

I have Vegasaur. Tried it and it worked like a champ. One more issue though. When I convert the files they lose the original date time stamp. Is there any way to preserve that info for each clip?

I have a similar question.
Personally; I was editing regularly with Premiere CS4 a few years ago. To speed up my editing time, I would convert all my video to AVI (Huge files) just to avoid the extra codec times added to rendering.
Would love to have as close as possible to ‘real-time’ rendering/editing. Any suggestions?
My source files are in AVCHD, would love some ideas.
Thanks!
