Talking about 3D models into Sony Vegas Pro. So what would be the difference between rendering a png sequence and rendering a .avi file with alpha channel?

I am currently trying out Hitfilm 4 since they have 3D model support and works with Vegas and Catalyst. Upon initial use, it seems really good. Good lighting effects on the 3D models is so easy, and previewing is super fast. I’m familiar with After Effects and the Element 3D plug-in which is amazing. I’m not sure of the professional reputation of Hitfilm, but it seams to be well regarded and on the rise.
BCC is the other option for 3D model support. I haven’t been able to try it out yet because I cant get the trial to work properly. I am working with Boris support on it.
I’m definitely eager to get something purchased now and into my workflow, I just want to make sure I’m getting the best option for the future.

I have just discovered Hitfilm, which works along side Vegas, that allows importing and animating of 3D models. Checking it out, will post results.

That sounds doable, and thanks for the replay. Will I be able to manipulate the object in true three dimensions like in After Effects, or will it be pseudo 3D using 3D Source Alpha? I basically need to be able to turn the 3D object in full 360 spins.

That could be for many reasons. What file type and settings are you rendering?

I agree. I like the idea of using the bins but my projects really dont require that much organization. I think a third monitor will help exponentially. Thanks everyone for your input.

Great info! I guess I just assumed sv never had that feature. That will come in very handy with alot of clips.

Thanks Steve. I’ve still never tried quicktime png. I’ll give it a try. And thanks for your input Rick, I think I’ll stick with mp4 for all my renders if that’s what the professionals recommend. Uncompressed avi is a bit of a headache. I prefer 720 for my renders because of the render/upload times, and because of the video usually plays smoother for the end user. However, I use alot of screenshots and they are taken on 1080, so I like to keep it consistent.
