Spec’s don’t show support for 1080p60, for that player at least. Vegas pro 9 will render as .WMV double ntsc 59.94 at 1080p, and using a HDTV as a secondary monitor, you can play it with Windows Media Player full screen on it. At least with Windows 7 64 bit. I don’t have a 1080p60 camera, so I downloaded a 1080p60 sample in .mts format, rendered as ‘wmv 11, customised video, Image size to 1920 x 1080, pixel aspect ratio, square, Frame rate 59.94 double ntsc, Project video rendering quality, (Use Project Settings). Also I set the bit rate to 25m. I did have to add a brightness and contrast pluggin to get my blacks back, Typicle with .wmv IMHO. But a fast computer can play these back via VGA, DVI and HDMI to an HDTV.
My i7 930 couldn’t play the file back smoothly in the .mts format but the .wmv plays smoothly. Consumer 1080p60 is still new and the NLE software developers will support it better, soon I hope. -
So your saying it makes no difference white balancing with a grey card? At some point it wont work for white balancing. Try doing it with a black card.

.WMV format is very common and has good quality with a small file size.

Some people use different color temperature lights to get like possibly a warmer look in the skin tone for like keying someone in an late afternoon out door scene, or a cooler look to key someone in a winter scene. I would think a variety set of white balance cards cards could be used in the same way. Checkout this link on white balancing.

There is a project setting preset, 1080, set to progressive, double ntsc, 59.94. But there is no Render preset for 1080 59.94p, at least in the mpeg format. I had to make 720 59.94p since I needed it to be 60p. I compared a 1080 29.94p to the 720 59.94 rendered files and the fast moving parts were unaccecptable with the 1080 29.97p, where the 720 59.97 looked much smoother. My final video was not going to be put on Blu Ray, but was going on a video server.

Are you recording the new audio track with the same sample rate that the video has? DV and HDV have 48k sample rate audio.

What format and settings are you rendering too? What are you project settings as well as your source videos? In your project settings, set to progressive and deinterlacing method set to blend, it will blur a little as it’s blending fields. This will make it smoother while sacrificing clarity. Interpolate will keep it clear but it may look choppy or jumpy. Let us know all that info and we’ll be able to help better. Danny Hays

I would do the exact same as you Theo. Your right though, John may be able to write a script for that. Danny Hays

Have you made sure all off line video events are deleted as well? I can’t think of anything else that would cause that. Maybe try deleting all missing files from project media tab as you did before and in the timeline, (Video offline) events, and save as, then check the copy source files, to a different drive, and then open it from that location? Let us know as that’s an interesting problem. Danny Hays

I have the Shuttle. It doesn’t give me the option to capture as MJPEG in Vegas, but I just use Media Magic that came with it. The best feature is it will capture straight from the imager without a tape and the 4.1.1 DV color space and without the mpeg compression 4.2.0. with HDV. This give me a better quality video as Motion JPEG that I can just import into Vegas. Checkout the Blackmagic forum here at the Cow. Search for Danny Hays and see all my posts on it. Other than being USB 3 and a couple capture setting that don’t work until the USB bandwidth gets bigger, their the same, same software. I really like it. It does let me preview full screen as a second monitor via HDMI from Vegas Pro 9.
Hope this helps, Danny Hays
