Vegas Option for ProRes 422 (HD)

[Steve Hancock]

Would it be easier if we uploaded a small rendered MXF file here or would dropbox be better for you?
And any thoughts on the template we’re using? I uploaded a picture.
Thanks again for all of your help.

If I buy the Samsung NX1, that shoots in H265, what would be the best codec to use to edit it in Vegas?
Obviously not Prores.
Should I convert the footage into DNxHD or something else?
Thanks

Okay, I think we finally got it figured out. It seems like it’s just a matter of us figuring out the Mac layout more than anything else.
It turns out there is a little blue icon at the top right of the compressor that we have to select to bring up the audio options. We had no idea as the blue icon is very small and not labeled, so we had to do some searching to figure out that was what we needed to select.
Once that is selected the audio options open up and the first thing that has to be done is to de-select the option to automatically render the audio settings from the original file. Once that is unchecked, the stereo options become available and can be selected.

I looks like it’s all set now. Finally! Thanks a lot for you help. Hopefully this thread will be helpful to someone else down the road as well. I’ll check back if any other issues occur.

Thanks again!

Sorry I never got back to you. I got really busy on a project and wasn’t keeping up with the forums or email. I’m glad you got it all sorted out. I don’t know why Compressor’s default view is to close the two side windows because that’s the first thing I open up and keep open all the time. Without the settings panel open you really don’t know what you’re getting so I’m surprised you can even hide it but, I guess that was your problem,

That Vegas Pro template you posted was fine so I was thinking it must be something on the Mac side. Glad you figure it out.

UGH. I bought the compressor. I rendered my Vegas 12 file out to the previously described codec (MXF HS 422 60i 50 Mbps) and when I open Compressor to pull the file in (which is 1.16 GB, BTW) it’s greyed out and shows a EXEC in green in the upper left corner. HELP!!! I’m desperate.

Can you post a screen shot? It’s difficult to understand without seeing what you’re seeing.
