HD rendering for dummies
I have been using Sony Vegas Pro 9 for some time now and know the editing side quite well (on a dual core windows 7 32 bit sys).
I recently purchased a new Sony HDR-CX150 HD handycam due to my old JVC miniDV cam was getting old. I also purchased this new camera to get better quality videos in HD.
First here is an example of what I primarly use it for.

Starting next month I will be using Vimeo instead of youtube.
I have been shooting in FX AVCHD 24m. Now onto the part I don’t fully understand and thats what template and render settings should I start with for the best quality? From some reading I understand this can get quite technical.
I did try HDV 1080-60i(1440×1080, 29.970fps) template and rendered it mainconcept MPEG-2 (using same template) and I thought the quality was very nice but the file size was rather large.
Any input would be greatly apreciated

I’m not sure what you’ve read but it’s very easy. Just use the Sony AVC render type with the Internet 16:9 HD 30p template and upload to YouTube or Vimeo or whatever video site you want.

Hi, I render an AVCHD (m2ts) film 2 hours length on Sony Vegas pro 9d, 4GB memory, Core I5 processor on Windows 7 32 bits (everybody tells 64 bits is better for AVCHD!!), film that has color correction, brightness & contrast, saturation adjustment added on each clip that makes the whole film. Rendering time looks now up to 27 hours, rendering output is XDCAM EX* (MP4), Project properties: HD 1080….etc.
Do you guys think it is a normal rendering time? Doesn’t sound way too much to you, please? How to speed up rendering time?

Thanks for the reply john. I either don’t understand enough about this part of doing videos or I don’t have what you refer to.
Here are the templates I can use

And here is what I can use to render when I use MPEG-2

Rendering times vary greatly based on the content and hardware specs. If you have a few effects on the clips, the rendering time will be longer than if you were rendering a clip that had no effects on it. I recently did a simple project that was 1 minute long that took 10 minutes to render. It was just a couple of video tracks (1 protype titles, 1 had bmp logo background that had gaussian blur, secondary color correction and pan/crop) and two audio tracks (music bed and narration) 10:1 ratio, but I suspect that if I didn’t use protype and the color correction and blur, it would have rendered much faster, but I had a look I wanted to achieve. As they say, your mileage will vary.
