Converting Frame Rates in Vegas Pro 12
Hello all,
I am shooting a music film documentary and due to the nature of the film, I’m having to collect and use various footage that was shot at different frame rates from the past (but still in digital format: meaning not VHS, etc…).
The footage I have personally doing since day on of the project is 1080 HD at 23.976 fps, which are where my Vegas Pro 12 project settings are at.
My question is how can I convert the past footage I have been given to use in my film to match my project settings. Ultimately this music documentary will be showing in a digital movie theatre and so I will eventually have to convert it to DCP in the final stage, but of course would first need to make sure that all my footage beforehand is at the same frame rate.
Is there any way to achieve this in Sony Vegas Pro 12. If not, please let me know if there are any other methods or ways to go about doing it. Thanks.

Hey Daniel,
Unless I’m missing something, Vegas will do all that for you. That’s one of the bafflingly cool things about Vegas that still impresses me after all this time.
Just lay the clips (OOOOPS, sorry, “events”) onto your timeline and render it and you’ll see what I mean.

One of the great things about Vegas is the ability to handle just about any format you feed it without having to do any pre-conversion.
For a video shoot I work on in the past I had to take video in the MXF format, MOV format and AVCHD format and put it all together. It was just a matter of dragging and dropping the footage to the timeline. Vegas took care of all the rendering to my output format without any issues.
