Yes, That the only time I ‘ve seen the red problem is with MPG files. If you still have Connect HD, you can convert them to Cineform AVI format with it. Vegas will have no problems with that type of file. In fact it will edit them smoother, more effecient than with m2t or mpg as they’rehighly compressed and Vegas has to work alot harder with them than AVI. That’s what Cineform was originally designed for, when computers were slower and couldn’t handle the compressed files yet. Danny Hays

Does Windows movie maker see it? This will tell if it’s a Vegas problem. Danny Hays

Thats Cineforms old HDV capture program. What kind of file is it? Connect HD will capture and convert to Cineform AVI if you directed it to. Cineform AVI is very Vegas friendly. Download Gspot, a free utility that will tell you the file type of almost any video. If you can re-capture it, that is probably your best bet though. The red frames in the time line tells me it’s probably mpg instead of m2t. Let us know what file type the videos are with Gspot. Danny Hays

Yes, MPG and AAC renderes need DVDA or the patches to rendering these formats. Danny Hays

I have had this problem with MPG HDV files captured with Premier Pro or OnLocation which both can capture as mpg instead of m2t. What fromat and capture application are you using? Danny Hays

Uncompressed in avi or mov won’t play with media player and quicktime without stuttering or stopping on any computer I’ve used. These formats are importing into an NLE without loss of quality. There are other quicktime formats you can render to that should play on your computer fine. Experiment with some if the mid grade quality settings and work from there. Dany Hays

Hello, We use a quad core at work and compaired to our old P4 3.6 gz dual, it’s render time are way faster but the preview frame rate is still slow with alot of track and or effects. I really dont see much of a difference there. I drag my preview on to my 32 HDTV and when filling most of the screen it’s slower than when I shrink it down. But compaired to non hardware based Avid or Finalcut systems, where you have to render alot of things before you can preview it at all, Vegas is the best by far for functionality and ease of use in my opinion.

Hello, After effects and PPRO are both Adobe and are easy to go between but Vegas is better with audio in my opinion. Vegas supports DX pluggins for audio effects and there’s a ton of them out there. Vegas will even do surroound sound. Vegas was audio only for versions one and two if I remember right. Vegas 8 now has a console but it’s limited, Their nothing compaired to Protools, Nuendo and Sonar for audio though. Sonar even comes with some very good pluggins right out of the box. Vegas has no midi capabilities except for chacing or generating midi time code. But if you don’t use midi, Vegas does Video and audio very good all in one program. Hope this helps, Danny Hays

Thanks Douglas. I knew you would know that. Danny Hays

I have not had much luck with longer videos especially with alot of effects without it having errors and stopping the render. I would make several shorter ones as uncompressed and piece them together in Premier Pro. A 45 min video with 3d would take a very long time to render and could error right before it’s done.
