Nothing, hey?

After editing my first project here on the new Vegas 12 P2 workflow, I’ve also noticed some bugs with audio dropping out randomly or coming completely out of sync, even on footage that I imported using the suggested Device Manger workflow. I’d have to close and re-open the program multiple times, with each time exhibiting a completely different and random result until the audio would work. If I ever went out of the program and back into it, the audio would usually mess up also. I’m on a new i7 laptop and neither the RAM or the processor were demonstrating anything close to peak levels, so it has to be some bugs with the new program. After experiencing bugs on the last few Vegas upgrades, I think I’m through being an early adopter for Sony, even with the discount incentive.

I am having some P2 problems as well. If I try and drag and drop P2 files (as I’ve always done in the past with Raylight) it will recognize the video and two streams of audio, but the audio will be blank. There is audio there, and if I use the Device Manager import it generally works, but the problem with Device Manager is that during the import it creates a huge convoluted folder structure for every single clip, rather than keeping them all in the same VIDEO folder that they are in while on the P2 card. I’m hoping this is just a bug and they either get the drag and drop fixed or let us import without having to essentially duplicate my MXF file into a convoluted folder hierarchy. Oh, and recognizing 24PA pulldown would be nice, too…

No matter how I bring this footage in, I can’t seem to play it back without it being interlaced. I know for a fact that it is progressive, since the HVX captures everything progressive from the CCD, but somehow it’s always interlacing on playback and output if I don’t have the “Blend Fields” options checked (but I shouldn’t have to since it is progressive).

Hey John, thanks for the response. Normally, when I shoot 24PA, the workflow you described is exactly what I do. But using that setting with my 24P (that is, 720×480 29.97 with 2:3 pulldown) footage causes my playback within the timeline to still be full of added ghosting frames, interlacing jags and all things unholy. I just don’t get it.
I’ve taken a screenshot when I look at the properties of the clip, and it won’t even let me change the footage to 23.976:
So if it is indeed 29.97 with 2:3 pulldown, then shouldn’t Vegas just execute the pulldown if I brought it into its stock 24P timeline setting?
One other thing I’d like to ask – how does my timeline setting impact my render settings? For example, if I have 29.97 interlaced footage and I bring that into a 29.97 progressive timeline and then output to 29.97 interlaced, does the output file differ compared to if I brought the 29.97 interlaced footage into a 29.97 interlaced timeline and output to 29.97 interlaced?
Thanks in advance.

I have been registered for years now, but I must not have checked a “receive promotional emails” link or something. Thanks for letting me know the sale still was on, I had already given up on finding that. I’m registering it now.
For those who’ve yet to get in on the deal and would like the link, I was able to find it here (hopefully this isn’t breaking any rules):

I have been registered for years now, but I must not have checked a “receive promotional emails” link or something. Is there a link I can go to to obtain this discount? There are only a couple days left in May…I’m worried I’m going to miss out! Thanks for the response.
EDIT: I’ve seen this thread where you posted a link:

but that doesn’t seem to work anymore and I saw on another site that the deadline was May 14th. Do you know for sure it goes until the end of the month? Any help would be appreciated!
