Importing footage from Vegas
Hi all,
We’ve been using Sony’s new TD-10 3D camcorder to shoot some amazing stuff. Unfortunately Vegas Pro 10 is the only program out there than can take the TD10’s muxed files and break them into separate left and right video files.
In Vegas we are exporting to quicktime using the batch export with photo-jpeg compression. However when these files are brought into FCP they look heavily interlaced (the TD10 shoots in 29.97) even in a 29.97 timeline. De-interlace filter sometimes works, sometimes does not seem to work.
Any thoughts?
Best,
Rob

One possible solution, but it is really time-intensive:
Exporting from Vegas via .MXF then into compressor to convert to 422HQ seems to work with slightly better color definition.
HOWEVER, the MXF export from Vegas takes about twice as long, and being a two step process adds a great deal of time.
Thoughts?

Would Adobe Media Encoder work? Crazy faster than Compressor.
Of course, I don’t know if ME supports the file types you need, which is why I’m more asking than suggesting….

Media encoder was pretty fast with an AVI conversion from the mts. But we’re still having interlacing issues in Final Cut Pro. I think I prefer Media Encoder’s workflow to Mpegstreamclip to make the quicktime 422HQ. But we’re still seeing better color depth from the Vegas mxf export, it’s just waaaay slower.

I should also point out Adobe Media Encoder has no way to un-mux the 3D files if you import the MTS directly into ME. Hence the AVI intermediary from Vegas or this tool called MTS-AVI converter.

Hi Rob,
I have the same camera and wish to convert S3D to FCP friendly format, and have been unsuccessful exporting anything quicktime from the TD10 in vegas. Do you know if it has to do with quicktime version 10 being on our system and if so, do you know a workaround? I still have QT 7 on system, but vegas does not appear to be using it.
