I’m still dealing with Sony to try and fix the 24f problem. Be assured, you are not alone.

Mr. Wise is absolutely right in getting the facts agreed on up front. I just finished a long-term project for a large union and when it came time to pay, this huge union seemed to dry up fund-wise as well as all of a sudden didn’t understand or comprehend what “rights” to a video were. It turned out that their regular videographer was jealous and actually wanted to cut up my project and put it in his work. I have since learned but my biggest advice is to absolutely understand between each other what rights they are buying or what you’re willing to give them. Are you “work for hire” in which they own it all or are they buying a completed work with certain display rights only? Get that in writing. The prices are different also. Believe me, I’ve learned.

John,
After you choose the .mov format, click on the “custom” button on the right and make the further choices from there. Once you choose the ones I mentioned earlier you can name the template yourself as “You tube” and save it. The next time you go in those custom settings will be available as a template. Hope this helped.

Thanks for the compliment John. I used .mov at 640×480 at “good” setting. My sound was at mono and the video was set to MPEG-4. If you go to “My account” you can click on a help area and they have the suggested settings for uploads. They use to be at 320 x 240 but for some reason changed to the 640 x 480. I think if I had size problems that is the first setting I would change. I was too large using the “best” setting but going to “good” fixed the problem. Hope that helps.

I did voice overs just fine with the mic in but I used Audacity for better control and inserted into timeline. Worked for me.

Hi Daylight,

Hi John, Thanks for the response. I’ve already tried that with Sony along with a handful of other things they suggested but they didn’t work. Marc from Sony’s response was that it indeed didn’t work and he passed it along to the people further upstream. The problem is that the people upstream apparently didn’t think it important enough to work on because “they can’t afford the XH-A1 to try it out on”. With that reply, I would sell Sony stock if I held any. They must be getting very low on funds. They are supposedly still working on the problem.

I just uploaded to You Tube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7jJ95QbPaHE) video shot with XH-A1 at HD combined with DV. Compiled using Vegas 8 – 640 x 480 (as per new You Tube specs) – .mov – using “Good” setting – mono (as per You Tube specs). It was a little over 5 minutes and came in at 93Mb (must be under 10 minutes and 100Mb per You Tube). You can look at my footage and judge by that if it is acceptable. Hope this helps.

I am experiencing the same problem. I have a support claim into sony but they tell me they don’t have enough money to purchase an XH-A1 to try the problem out. That should give you an idea of the kind of help I’ve gotten from them. I asked Donald Berube from this forum and his reply was that it is in the preferences. I have heard from Sony and Canon that the Version 8 will not accept the 24f but Version 7 did. I am like you in that I get an individual clip for every frame. HDV Split is a free program that will supposedly allow you to capture the video but it crashes on my system due to Muvee software. I also didn’t pay this much money for Vegas – a supposedly all inclusive program – only to go outside my software to a free ware program which crashes on me. I keep reminding Sony but nothing helps. Could someone PLEASE answer our question. How do you get Canon 24f into Vegas version 8?
