Way back there used to be a “user” emitter library. It would be nice to see what emitters some of us have created and would like to offer as a monthly library to take the pressure off PI guys.

These codecs have to be downloaded and are free. Once you have downloaded them simple right click on the file and select install. Windows will then install them to the correct location. The next time you want to render you will see them there.

I hope this helps.

Try “Into Snow Area’. Just fiddle around with the properties to get the right effect. I can’t tell you which library it’s in because I’ve sorted mine into categories. Use ParticleView.

Nah! What he was saying is that he went TO Vegas, then he beata the machine there. While he was dithering about he was playing around with a 2 bit virgin, 64 of them all the time in realtime which got him all excited which caused him to have an upcoming release with his buds.

These were some of own words.

Lee,

I too am trying to do the same thing without much success. Below are links discussing what you need to do to get transparent backgrounds in PI3.

My confusion is when to select “remove black from backgrounds”. One of the above tutorials say DO NOT select “remove black from backgrounds” and the other say select it.

I suppose it depends if you are outputting to AVI or sequnced TARGA or PNG.

As AVCHD is a tight codec to work with, you will need a powerful PC with at least 2GB of RAM and a fast graphics card. You will also need to install the software that comes with the HF100 because the codec will also be installed.

I am using SV pro 8b and am able to edit M2T files and render as I please.

Hi Shad,

Don’t give up just yet. I bought the HF10 which is the same cam as HF100. I too have Sony Vegas Pro 8. First, what is your final output going to be? Standard Definition DVD, HD movie, cell phone movie or YouTube?

I am also new to this new AVCHD codec which requires a powerful rig which you now have (Quad core, 4GB memory and I hope a GeForce GT8800 graphics card or equivalent)

A lot of AVCHD users are not getting the desired result because they not sure of the correct settings to use from SV 8. What I did was to get a RW DVD disc and then make a 1 min clip and try different configurations.

After downloading my footage to the PC I start a new project 1920×1080 even if I am going to make PAL DVD. Once you’re done editing, “render as”, and in your “Render as window” select “save as type “MainConcept MPEG-2 (*.mpeg……ect). Use template “Blu-ray 1920×1080 -24p……….)

Then open DVDA 4.5 and call in this M2V file that you’ve just rendered. Now burn it to your DVD RW as a test.

Let me know if you’re happy with the results or let me know if you have another method that works for you. As I said before, I’m also new at this and would like to try new things.

Thanks Wondertouch

The reason I asked is I bought the Canon HF10 which also captures in AVCHD which is great but you cannot put AVCHD straight onto a DVD because 95% of DVD players can only read MPEG2 encoded movies. Which means whatever you render will finaly end up being encoded MPEG2.

I experimented a bit using Sony Vegas 8 Pro and got really crap DVD movies. I was doing it wrong. The correct method in SV8 is to start new project with settings that you captured in, eg. 1920×1080. Import your clips into the project as normal and edit as normal. Then render your movie as AVCHD with audio so will will have 1 AVCHD which will have a file MT2S extention. Be warned this file will be huge. Then open DVDA 4.5 and import your MT2S file into your project. Select Burn DVD. You now will have the high def in DVD format which has been been rendered in MPEG2 but beautifully.

Try it and let me know.

Hi Paul,

I see it’s been more than a month since you posted. Did you come right or are you still looking for a solution?
