Rendering to h264 QT

[Daniel Hughes]

Yes, choose Sony AVC/MVC. You’ll find Entropy Coding options are CAVLC and CABAC, which are used for H.264.

My favourite rendering format!

No. Sony Vegas will not encode QuickTime h.264 files.

I have a client who insisted that the only delivery format they would accept was h.264 in a MOV file. (My client is an idiot).

You use the Sony AVC “render as” preset and select the highest resolution with the = in front (this means that the preset matches your project parameters). Then use Apple Quick Time Pro (it’s not free, but reasonably cheap) to make the QT file.
