I never had issue with 7d files crashing vegas 6. Vegas 9? don’t get me started. Since Vegas is windows based, you’ll just have to test it. Nothing ever seems repeatable in Windows, Windows is kind of like snowflakes in that no two versions are ever quite the same.
But from my use, provided you rendered out to Cineform immediately and let those files become your working files, the workflow was totally viable. Your Mileage May F’ing Vary.

You will LOVE the improvements in Vegas 10 and the upgrade typically is quite affordable. You can work with AVCHD natively. Make the pain go away. Do the upgrade.

Which footage says “cannont be imported”? the native 7d footage or the footage you’ve transcoded to AVI intermediary? Btw, another caveat, the intermediary format supported in Vegas 6 is 720p.

You can make it work. Render the timeline to AVI Intermiediate, re import the finished file to the timeline and edit away. I have done it many times with 7d and Vegas 6.

Are you telling Vegas which drive to look for the files?
I’m not, I just tell Vegas look everywhere. Usually it crashes before it finds it, sometimes it finds it, then I try and load it and then it crashes. But I’ll give your suggestion a go. Thanks.

“DVD Architect can create a Blu-ray formatted DVD, which will play in virtually no Blu-ray players. “
Whoah, back up a sec, so my new blu ray burner makes discs with DVDA that don’t work? So I need a new authoring burnings software?

No Kyle, you import the native files, ie the files directly from your camera into the timeline. Then, as John says, render it out as AVI intermediary. The resulting file is cineform (CF).

I’ve edited 7d footage with Vegas 6. It’s clunky and cumbersome but it works…at least with my iteration of Dell Vista, and that btw, from my experience as a tech moron, it’s major qualifier. Windows for me, especially Dell Windows, has always been quirky as sin. But yes, once you’ve got a Cineform file on the Vegas 6 timeline, on my machine it plays smoothly and is stable. I actually recreated an entire project initiated in Vegas 9 in Vegas 6 because 9.0 was unstable.
The upgrade from Vegas 6 to 10 is or at least was quite reasonable, and boy is it ever liberating when it comes to AVCHD and other issues as well. Version 9.0 not so much. Your Mileage WILL vary…

thanks! But my paradigm has suddenly shifted since I fell in love last night with this TMPGenc encoder. It’s doing my resizing now and I supposed that means I’ll be bound by its audio capabilities.
Huge improvement in the visual quality compared to Vegas’s encoder. -
Vegas 6 will work! And you don’t need to buy Cineform, know why? you already got it! Yep, hit “Render” go down to templates, I think it says “Intermediate codec” it doesn’t quite say “Cineform” unless you dig a little in the menus, but you already have that codec, Vegas 6 was the last version to have Cineform.
The AVC264 stuff is the codec, or lets say file type that the 7d recorded in natively, you need to “transcode” or convert it to a different file type ie Cineform. So put you native AVC footage on the Vegas timeline and render it out to intermediary codec, it will be a huge file and slow render, but once done, you’re ready to rock and roll. It’ll play nice and smooth on your timeline. Just put that rendered Cineform file onto your timeline.
