Vegas to Film
Hypothetically speaking. . .
Let’s just SAY I was producing a feature on Sony Vegas. . .4k/2k. . .that kind of thing.
Let’s just SAY I had TWO projects I was working on: One that was all ready to go–needed no more post, etc.–and wanted to print straight to film; the second had some more post work to be done. . .simple stuff like color-grading and such.
How would I export the final product(s) to send to a film lab, etc.? -

You would contact the lab and ask them what formats they can ingest. You will need to render out of Sony Vegas as 24p (23.976 fps progressive) but as to what format, that is for the film lab to dictate and for you to comply. 😉 Most likely they would want uncompressed footage which will be quite large.

Thanks John. . .by ‘uncompressed’, do you mean something like an AVI? That almost sounds TOO easy. I was thinking about, perhaps, motion JPEG, or even exporting one at a time as TIFFs. . .
Like I said, this is just hypothetical. . .tentative at best (planning, in theory). Put it up, here, because I don’t want to bother around with those HIFI transfer labs who got more important clients to deal with.

AVI is just a container so yes, uncompressed could be in an AVI, but they could just as easily want uncompressed in a QuickTime MOV file.
