What you describe is what I’ve been doing. I’ve been rendering an uncompressed avi from Vegas then in QT7 I export it to H264. Its worked ok for me so far but then again I have not had experience using any other product for making such conversion. I’d prefer to do the encoing directly from Vegas so that I don’t have to go through two steps.
Any products you know of that do a better H264 encoding? And are they usable within Vegas or do I use them as an external encoder?
How about upgrading PI to work in 3D. And then carry it one step further by allowing 3D scene information import and export between PI and Shake, Max, Maya?
