  • Sony Vegas Pro 8 And Canon 7D Footage Settings

    Posted by Norman Pogson on October 28, 2009 at 3:09 pm

    I’m having trouble with my new Canon 7D and Sony Vegas, I’m shooting 1920×1080 30 (29.97) and the footage is progressive. I am directly importing the camera .mov file into Vegas.

    In Sony Vegas Pro 8 I can’t see a setting for the above, only HDV1920x1080 60i (1440×1080, 29.970 fps), The only progressive settings are for 24p. Sony is “seeing” my clips as 1920x1080x24

    In the clip properties, I have changed the settings to field order: None (progressive), what should the pixel aspect ratio be: 1.000 or 1.3333?

    Also in the render dialogue box are these setting correct for a HD clip at 29.97fps in progressive as a quicktime .mov file without sound:

    The Description box: Audio: 44,100hz, 16bit, stereo
    Video: 29.970fps, 1440x1080x32, Uncompressed

    Frame Size: High Definition (1920×1080)
    Frame Rate: 29.970 (NTSC)
    Field Order:None (progressive scan)
    Pixel aspect ratio: 1.333
    Video format: Photo-jpeg
    Compressed depth: 24bpp

    Thanks for any help

    Use the Match Media setting in the Project Properties and then save that as a new project preset for Canon 7D:

    1920×1080 is PAR 1.000

    No, the Pixel Aspect should be 1.0000 for a 1920×1080 render as well. 1.3333 is only used for HDV 1440×1080 to bring it to 1920×1080. You want to use an HD template, not an HDV template.
