Rendering Templates
Hello,
I just got an AVCHD Camera and downloaded the Vegas 10 demo. I’m a complete newbie and having trouble understanding the rendering templates.
My Camera records at 1440x1080i but I need the final video to be progressive scan.
There is a template for 1440x1080i AVCHD but not one for 1440x1080p AVCHD. There is one for HD 1920x1080p but it is not 1440 or AVCHD.
Also my camera records at 13mbps but the closest templates are either 10 or 15 mbps.
I have seen tutorials on youtube where the template list has a bunch that my version doesn’t have. For example on one of the tutorials he chooses a YouTube template.
Is there someplace to download more templates or how can I make a custom one that matches my camera specs?
Thanks

You can change the templates and save them to any name you want which is probably what you saw on YouTube. So if you want to change the AVCHD 60i template to be 30p you can.
BTW, if you are looking for YouTube templates, they are under Sony AVC and all start with Internet…

I don’t know how to change them.
I have 6 Memory Stick templates, 4 AVCHD, 8 Blueray, 10 that say internet, 2 that say HD. None that say YouTube.
My video is 1440x1080i AVCHD but I need one that is 1440x1080p not i. Or do I deinterlace before I import into Vegas?
There is a HD 1920x1080p template but it is not AVCHD or 1440.
Can I use an HD template for AVCHD? What about 1440 in a 1920 Template?
Doesn’t the Template have to match all the specs of your video?
Also my video is 13mbps there is no setting for 13mbps only 10 or 15mbps.

I just realized that there is no project properties template for AVCHD. The closest one is HDV 1080-60i (1440×1080, 29.970 fps)
I think HDV uses a different compression algorithm than AVCHD.
Why is their no project properties template for AVCHD?

When I click the match media setting button it opens the HDV 1080-60i (1440×1080, 29.970 fps) template. Can I use a HDV template for a AVCHD project?

The project properties have nothing to do with compression. It is just matching the dimensions of your footage to the dimensions of the project.

Yes. Your AVCHD camera must be set to 1440×1080 and that’s what it’s matching on. Most AVCHD cameras will shoot full HD 1920×1080 in which case you would use the HD setting.
Vegas does not clutter the project properties with redundant settings like most NLE’s. I know other NLE’s have settings for AVCHD, DVCPROHD, Canon, XDCAM, etc., which makes it easy to see your format and select it but in reality, all of those templates have exactly the same settings. There are only two HD formats, 1920 and 1440. No need for a dozen redundant templates.

John,
Thanks for the replies.
Doesn’t Vegas need to know what kind of video it is working with?
If there is no template for AVCHD how does Vegas know it is AVCHD and not HDV?
AVCHD and HDV have different compression algorithms? I would think that Vegas would process them differently.

The type of compression is encoded into the header of the file. This is why you can mix HDV, AVCHD, DV, CineForm, etc. in the same project. Each file carries it’s own format information so that Vegas knows how to encode it.
