mario,

Hard Drive has nothing to do with speeding up the software.
As long as you have a hard drive with 7200 RPM or above you should be fine.
The speed is dependent to Ram and CPU Power.

Render your clips to SD Resolution, Edit them > close Vegas.
Take the folder where you rendered the SD clip and deleted it or move it somewhere else.
Open Vegas ( It will ask you the files are missing search for a new location ) when searching find the folder where you have your Original AVCHD. Now your time line has the edited version in AVCHD.
Note: you must name the SD clips the same exact way as the AVCHD Original or else it wont find it AND IT WILL CONFUSE YOU.
They will drop rite in the Edit.

Importing thru the Device Explorer in Vegas usually works for these files and most cameras.
Connect your Camera to USB > Device Explorer > choose the files and import.
It will go into your Sony imported media folder but then you can move it where you wish.

Zevie,

Use the same footage you tracked in pf track and in C4D Create a new material then choose that same video in your color tab.
Then create a background Object and drag the material you just made with the video and drag it to the background object and Boom !
Your a Pro.

Also – The small Plane you said will most likely not match up in C4D or it would be too small for any Object to stay on the plain therefore you might get drifts

Happy tracking !
