  • Capturing HD Clips in Sony Vegas 6.0

    Posted by Tim Cicciarelli on April 30, 2007 at 5:25 pm

    I filmed a wedding this past Saturday with my Sony HDR-FX1 in the HDV1080i format. I am having problems capturing the files is my Sony Vegas 6.0. I have changed the properties in the software to 1080-60i. Them I clicked the capture in HD box which opened the internal HD capture field. I picked the appropriate folder to place the files, connected the device (camera). The sotware recognized it. The problem begins when I hit the red/record/capture button. The camera begins the playback but the software freezes evertime. I have a fairly heafty system with 2 gigs of RAM and 500gig harddrive. Any ideas on what I may be doing wrong? Do I need a better video card?
    I look forward to an appreciate your help!

    Seems you have run into a software problem. It may be caused by anything, very difficult to know what. It doesn’t have anything to do with your graphics card, since this is not involved in this process (or most other video editing processes). Make sure you have the latest versions of all your drivers installed. Upgrading to the latest version of Vegas, which has significantly improved HD editing may also be a good idea.
