  • XDCAM EX 1920×1080 30p Make Movie template?

    Posted by George Strother on June 1, 2012 at 5:13 am

    I’m a Vegas user for almost a week now.
    Vegas Studio HD Platinum 11 on a Win 7 i7 laptop.
    Imported XDCAM EX 1920×1080 30p footage to Vegas and edited 1.5 hour show on timeline.
    Would like to output XDCAM EX 1920×1080 30p file, but I only see 24p, 25p, 50i and 60i templates.
    Am I missing some EX templates or should I modify 24p to a 30p custom template?
    What settings would need to be changed?

    You are not missing anything. Those are the most popular delivery formats. You can simply take the 60i template and change the Filed Order to “Progressive” and get the 30p you’re after.

    Customizing the EX 60i template and changing the Field Order to “Progressive” lets Vegas render to about 17% of the the 1h 24m movie.

    Then the progress bar stops, approximate time left counts down to zero and the elapsed time keeps counting.

    Clicking cancel has no effect, clicking the red X close gadget brings up a screen with “A background process is currently in progress”. Clicking Yes does not end the process.

    I have to go to Task Master and use End Task. I can’t stop the render or close Vegas any other way.

    Several non-EX templates, modified to equally large file size, work on the same project.

    Ideas?

    (btw – I’ve been using Final Cut Pro since v1.0, so I’m all thumbs with Vegas so far)
