Wrong Framerate Exporting from Sony Vegas to After Effects
Hey,
Have a wrong framerate issue when exporting from SV 12 Pro Latest Build to After Effects CS6.Workflow is: Export from Sony Vegas as Premiere Pro/After Effects file then Import into After Effects CS6.
I use After Effects to add motion tracked text etc. in which cannot be done as well in SV, so only using Vegas is not an option. This text is then rendered with alpha and moved back into the Sony Vegas file as more work has to be done afterwards in Sony Vegas. This Workflow cannot be rearranged, has to go from SV-AE-SV without rendering out the whole thing in AE just the extra created bitsWorkflow is fine and fast, project loads in After Effects exactly the same as in Sony Vegas. Only issue is am working at 30fps in SV (in project properties) and it imports at 29.97fps in After Effects (non-dropped frame) composition settings.
Weirdly, the times match perfectly i.e. clip starts ends etc. and all is fine. Only issue is, I need to then import audio into After Effects by rendering it out in Sony Vegas as the default .avi audio codec used in the original imported clips is not supported by After Effects (i.e. after importing the project AE only plays the Video, whereas with those same clips SV plays both audio and video). Because the framerate in AE is not at 30fps the audio rendered out in SV does not match up. If I change the framerate in AE to 30fps then the video clips are not at the same timepoint anymore in AE as in SV so motion tracking will be off once rendered out.
Do you know what is causing this? or how it can be fixed?
Is there a way to get AE to recognise Lagarith Lossless Codec’s audio so it plays back both Audio/Video? -

Could someone also help me with the following:
Which render settings are best to export a clip from sony vegas for editing in after effects. Quality does not have to be insane as will be editing , but I want a codec/container which After Effects can ram preview/scrub through easily for ease of editing in there.Found out the issue with the Audio btw above. Premiere Pro and AE both don’t knwo how to interpret files with multiple audio tracks it seems. Anyone know a fix for this?

I would expect this is a good question for the Adobe forum.
I cannot answer you multichannel audio question.
I am NOT an AE user. BUT
I do export video’s for use in protools. When working in Pro Tools on a film project I want a good quality video, but I also want low cpu usage because I want as much possible for the audio processing.
Recently I started using Motion Jpeg A, 720P (I believe this is under quicktime)
This name sounds very unglamorous but I was surprised at how good it looked, combined with low cpu usage. The only down side is it’s file size a good deal bigger then an .mp4.
Hope this helps, I have no idea what adobe thinks of this file, but it looks sharp and Quicktime, Vegas, and Protools all seen to handle with ease.
