MTS AVCHD Editing / IVTCing
Hey, I downloaded a .mts clip from some site supposedly it’s a sample of raw AVCHD footage, anyway I dropped it in Vegas and selected 23.976 IVTC and it IVTC’d the 60i footage for me, I’m wondering if this is all I have to do to get pure 24p to edit with and stuff. Before I heard I needed cineform to IVTC my footage, but I didn’t know vegas could do it for me, anyway here’s a screenshot of before and after does this look like proper IVTCing? Does Cineform give better results then the below? (I think it looks perfect)

Also, I have a
AMD phenom II 720 3core processor at 2.8ghz, and I can do simple cuts and stuff on the 1920x1080p footage but if I add an effect such as glow it slows down considerably, and I have to lower it to preview-quarter for me to play it back normally again (I do still consider this pretty fast) but if I were to overclock my processors to about 3.4ghz, would I notice a big improvement?Also, if I do get cineform does it use YUV/YUY color space? The .mts file I downloaded is YUY2 and I don’t want to convert to YUY/RGB/YUY etc., Also is cineforms format lossless?
and I had another question that’s unrelated but:
If I get a AVCHD camera that shoots 1920x1080i would I be able to resize that somehow to standard definition, if I were sending the stuff out for SD broadcasting? Would it just be as simple as cropping it in Vegas a bit?

Hi John.
Cineform is practically lossless. Without Cineform my processor works pretty hard (Intel CoreDuo Quad at 3.0 GHz, running at 95%+ on all four cores). With Cineform it runs at about 57%. And I am no expert, but the colorspace is supposed to be a lot better.
And Cineform is really nice guys.

I don’t know this for sure, but I think all AVCHD cameras probably shoot a progressive picture, so if you record at 24p (why?) then outputting to 24p should be a snap. Again I am not the expert, but I think to output to SD you would just choose the appropriate settings under ‘Render As’.
I sure hope that helps.
