The difference of the preview window framerate with a duo core and a quad core is un-noticable to me but the render times are much faster with the quad. If render times, “long movies” is a concern then spring for the quad. The machine you have now “Vaio” will run it just fine but will be a lilttle sluggish with the preview window set to best. Hope this helps. Danny Hays

Just a thought here. With so many people having newer computers and LCD HDTVs, doesn’t anybody else connect their HDTV to a second VGA output on their computer, Encode as High def WMV or MPEG and watch it in HD? You could probably by a fast enough computer to play a 1080p 8mbps WMV file for less than a Blue ray DVD player and do alot more with it than you can with a Blue Ray DVD player. Just a thought.

Yea, I thought that might be a problem. The reason I ask is we’re adding a FCP system to our work studio as one of the new and upcoming rides will be using FCP for all the video systems and we’ll be having to change the queue line video sometimes and I would like to be able to go between Vegas and FCP when thaat happens. Any articles or forums you see on this, please foward then to me if you would I would greatly appreciate it. danhays2004@yahoo.com Thanks

Hi Douglas,
I was very happy to see your post here as this is the first post I’ve where someone is successful exporting from Vegas to FCP. I am having the same problem whare FCP doesn’t let me import them. I exported as Sony MXF NTSC IMX 50. I have an old ver 4 of FCP. What am I missing? Thanks in advance. Danny Hays -
There is a point where faster computers have no effect on the speed of the preview framerate. We just upgraded from an older duo core to a new fast quad core and the preview has no noticable change. The render speed is dramaticlly faster though. One thing that will help with this and AVCHD and HDV is to convert them to Cineform interemediate format AVi which is more efficient in Vegas. This format can handle multiple renders without quality loss, and it comes with Vegas 7 and newer. Also I think it keys better as the color space is converted to 4.2.2 from 4.2.0 in HDV, I think…..

What resolution is the source footage? Do you mean export as .mov or use .mov files in Vegas? Vegas supports fully customisable H.264 .mp4 files which open in Quicktime. You can change the extention to .mov and play with Quictime. With a 10 by 10 screen, the video won’t fill the screen without changing the output aspect ratio to 1 by 1. Danny

The m2t file is what HDV cameras output. You should be able to set the camera to output DV but you’ll lose the hi def resolution. There’s a program from Cineform that will capture and convert to lossless Cineform avi on the fly.

This was originally made for slow computers that had a hard time with m2t files, but newer computers work fine with them now. Why do they have to be avi out of curiosity?

I just saw a post the other day on this. Look in your project properties and look for “Make media off line when not highlighted program” or something like that and uncheck it. Hope this helps. Danny Hays

Try this, Download Gspot from here.
https://www.headbands.com/gspot/download.html
It’s not an install program, just launch gspot and drag one of the WMV files that look great but are 20 meg per minute. This program will tell you everything about the file.
Then you can try Windows media encoder. It’s free here.

You can possibly customize Vegas render parameters to match what gspot says about the smaller files or see if Windows media encoder will do the trick. Hope this helps. Danny Hays
