mixing HDV with DV?

[Gary Kleiner]

What setting is your preview window? What does the footage look like straight from the deck or camera?

preview window tried on all settings / sizes

can’t check the footage in camera, as camera has been returned to hire facility.

the static shots look fine, of course

🙁

oh, and the footage is fine in the project that is pure Z1 footage.

the jaggies only happen when imported into the DV project

both are interlaced PAL.

Fuddam,

[Fuddam] “the jaggies only happen when imported into the DV project”

I’m curious about this. Have you tried rendering a portion of the timeline of this DV project including both SD and HD material to DV and/or HDV to determine if it’s only a preview problem? Perhaps when it’s a mixed timeline there’s too much manipulation happening for Vegas to do a very good job with RT preview. On a pure HDV project there’s no scaling involved.

turns out the render to SD AVI is fine, so no worries then 🙂

you’re probably right re the mixed timeline – I have no real idea. Is a fast machine, by the way.

Fuddam,

[Fuddam] “turns out the render to SD AVI is fine, so no worries then :)”

Excellent!

[Fuddam] “Is a fast machine, by the way.”

If it’s the machine in your profile, it’s a pretty modest ‘puter by todays standards with lower than average memory. Scaling is pretty processor intensive and I don’t think that it’s unusual that this processor couldn’t handle it better in RT. I’m wondering if dual proc systems do a considerably better job, and would more system memory help appreciably?

lol
thanks for reminding me to update my profile 🙂

is now an E6600 with 2GB, so quite a difference from the old beast.

Fuddam,

[Fuddam] “is now an E6600 with 2GB, so quite a difference from the old beast.”

Hmmm! It’s a little disconcerting that the E6700 w/2GB that I’m putting together for Vegas won’t work appreciably better in this situation than your machine. Probably Vegas won’t use both cores well until the 64 bit version. We’ll see.

Thanks for the update.

There is no reason that a 64 bit version of Vegas would use your cores better than a 32 bit version. These things are not related in any way. Since Vegas runs very well on multi-core systems in other situations, this is not related to cores…

Terje,

[Terje A. Bergesen] “There is no reason that a 64 bit version of Vegas would use your cores better than a 32 bit version.”

OK, thanks! Would a 64 bit system be more efficient in processing real-time effects and compositing, and without the 64 bit system would a quad core processor perform appreciably faster with Vegas than a dual core, than on the same MOBO with comparable clock speeds?
