I just thought to let anyone know who might look at this post, that I thnk that my problem is solved (happy days)! After spending what seems like hours over the last day or so looking for solutions, I downloaded a video converter (Handbrake), converted the Mpeg-2 file to an MP4, and ‘voila’, I have been able to import both tracks, video & audio, into Sony Vegas Pro.

Whatever caused the issue in the first place, whether it got screwed up in the path from the camera/HD-PVR I don’t know, but I am now able to edit the file as normal.

I hope that this solution may help someone else that might have a similar issue to that which I outlined in my first post in this thread.

Sorry to jump into your conversation Gabriel, but I downloaded the evaluation file of the plugin you mentioned, and it’s fabulous. This one plugin seems to do the job of several other ‘effects’. Very many thanks for your suggestion.

I should perhaps have mentioned that the size of the original unedited footage was 6.38 GB. As mentioned before, I have no issues with importing videos that are about half this size, or less.

I really need to be able to edit and then render this file, does anyone know what I might be able to do to make that happen?

Many thanks John for the time spent trying to help me resolve the issue. I have looked at some of the other videos on the site to which we upload our videos, and a couple were absolutely pin sharp, others exhibited various issues which may be attributed to project or render settings etc…, who can tell.

Just one more question, is it ever likely that the graphics card in a computer/laptop could show something on that machine but not on another which may have a more powerful graphics card installed? By the way, my card is an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470. I just wondered.

Whatever answer you give to the above, thank you again for trying to help, I truly appreciate it. Maybe I just need a new pair of spectacles! 🙂

Hi John,

Thanks again for your response. You may well be right, and it is not motion blur, but I didn’t know how else to describe the issue. That being said, here is a short clip where said speaker ‘sways’ off one foot onto the other as much as he stands still 🙂

I don’t think I see the ‘problem’ just because I’m looking for it, but to my eye from time-to-time there is a definate, maybe small, ghosting/blur effect around the upper body/face of this particular person.

There may well have been other examples where the ghosting/blur is more pronounced, but hopefully this example will suffice.

The other thing just to say is that the only ‘Effect’ I used in the editing was ‘Color Corrector’, with small tweaks using the High wheel, Saturation and Gain. Apart from that the settings were as per the Project & Render images I posted earlier.

I will be most interested in your thoughts.

Regards,

Alan

Hi John,

We use a Panasonic AG-HMC41 Camera to shoot the footage, and the 720-50p is the current PAL source setting. I have tried to change the setting to 720-25p which the Record Menu in the camera does allow, but when I bring it into Sony Vegas Pro v12 to edit, it still shows it as being 720-50p, I don’t know why. I have raised this with Panasonic here in the UK, but so far have not had a reply.

I have therefore gone back to a source setting of 720-50p, so that in that respect Project and Render settings are the same.

Many thanks,

Alan
