[Wayne Waag] shooting 30P is a moot point since my camcorders only shoot 60i, 60P or 24P.

I don’t understand why cameras that shoot in 60p, don’t have a setting for 30p. I would shoot in that format as well sometimes but as I stated in my earlier post, none of mine shoot in 30p either. for that reason, I always shoot in 60p, and zoom out a little in case it needs stabilizing that could crop out important subjects near the edge of the shot.

At first, playing it back to the masses was a big problem, but that has changed now. As well as YouTube supporting it now, some Bluray players do too. Check out this post, and it’s even from a few years ago.

” 60p video is nice, but only that shot in 1280×720 resolution can be shared via Blu-ray at this point in time. Claims that such-and-such a machine will play 1080p discs usually mean 24p or involve some sort of typo, omission, or misconception. Most extant software to make 1080 60p video compatible with disc involves some sort of conversion. If anyone knows of a 1080p60 BD player, please indicate the make and model number. ”

You are not keeping up, as everything you said is no longer true:

1. A new firmware upgrade to all Sony Sx80 bluray players allows them to play 108060p blu ray videos. This is the new AVCHD 2.0 standard.

2. A new upgrade to Picture Motion Browser software, that comes free with all Sony cameras and camcorders, permits the writing of 108060p AVCHD 2.0-compliant blurays without conversion if the source is 108060p. These blurays play in 108060p on the above Sony bluray players, and it is said on new Panasonic bluray players.

Sonic Foundry! Wow, I haven’t heard that name in a long time.

{John Rofrono} using 60p where it’s not needed is still a waste, IMHO.

I agree with you one this. Especially when both videos had no fast moving parts. I didn’t shoot those. I downloaded them to see what they looked like and how they worked in Vegas before I bought the TM700s.
I have only had about four video cameras other than a gopro, and none had the ability to shoot 30p. All but three of my seven computers are I7s and can edit 1080 60p with ease. And as far as wasting hard drive space, I have a few USB 3 WD passports that are two terabytes and each costed under one hundred dollars. So I don’t see why HD space or cpu usage is a problem anymore. But if I want buttery smooth video, or the ability to slow it down to half speed and still see 30 fPS, 1080 60p is the way to go.
When I watch sports on a big TV, I can definetly see space between each frame, like a golf swing, gymnastics, ect. If I capture video like that at 60 fps, The difference is like night and day from 30p. Maybe it because I’m used to seeing 60p video.
Although I don’t work at Universal Orlando Resort anymore, Other than the que line video, all the video in Harry Potters Forbidin Journey, Diagon Ally Transformers and some in several other venues are 60p. Most are even 4K 60p, 3D. So you may not see a need for it but many high end video editors use it alot. Even consumer video people want it, for example the latest gopro hero4 black says it shoots at 1080p 120 fps but it’s really 720p 120 fps. Gopro forums show that feature is the reason why most people bought the camera. Maybe Gopro will get it right with a new firmware update soon. By the way, YouTube will play 1080 60p now.
I checked out your website and youTube channel. Very impressive. But at least one of your video tutorials has interlacing. The Chromakey and Matte using Boris effects tutorial shows it in the Soccer ball section and you even commented on it. Still your video tutorials are fantastic. You’re very good at describing how and why you do what your doing in them. I have watched alot of your tutorials in the past and still do, since I found your YouTube Channel. It seems we have playing music in the past in common. Check out “All I wanted was you, Love of yesterday”, both from over thirty years ago and “The Hayz” 11 years ago, on my channel.

Here’s a great Panasonic TM700 made clip to experiment on with the stabilize feature. I just tried it in Vegas 10 with all the settings maxed since the video is so shaky. it worked fantastic.
https://vimeo.com/132495116
Here’s another clip to see the quality of the Panasonic TM700 camera.
https://vimeo.com/132493884
Both of the clips are 1080p 60 fps .mts files so let Vegas match the Project properties match the media.

Also these are on Vimeo. To be able to download the original file, you have to be logged on to Vimeo. If you aren’t a member, it only takes a minute to sign up. Once you’re logged in, the download button lets us download the original file I uploaded. And if you have a free Vimeo account like me, the original only stays available for a week, so if you try to download this more than a week from this post, you can’t get the original. Only 720 30 fps.
Alot of people don’t see a need for 1080p 60 fps video. I for one can’t stand interlaced video. These videos give me 60 perfect pictures per second to save as pics, which I use Vegas for alot. Once you have one in Vegas with matched project properties, zoom in on the event timeline until the left and right keys will increment a frame at a time. Make sure your preview is set to best full. Notice the quality of each frame. Then try the same thing with a 1080i 29.97 file and see the difference.
Neither of these videos have a fast enough movement to really show how good slowing down the video to half speed and see the buttery smooth look with the 60 fps clips. Opinions are definitely welcome. Danny Hays

Nice! I see what you mean by the phone part. The zoom part on my rig is still the zoom rocker switch on the camera. LOL I’ve seen glide cams with a large zoom rocker switch. I never looked to see how that remote switch connected to the camera. none of my cameras are expensive enough to have a remote connection on them.

Can you remove the bluray player from the chain? The reason I ask is, I ripped a Harry Potter bluray disk to put on an Alcorn McBride Binloop for Universal Orlando’s Forbidden Journey attraction. At the last minute they decided not to use a serial controlled bluray player and use an unused channel on the binloop to play in the baby swap room video in the attraction. When I put the rip into sony Vegas Pro video editor to render to the correct format for the binloop, I had the same exact same sync issue you described. Every two minutes or so, I would have to find a quiet spot in the audio and delete a few frames of audio and slide the remaining audio back over to meet where I cut it. It took several hours but it’s still playing there now.

Wow, that Vimeo vid looks great. I bet I could get the same or very close results with my small home made mount, especially if I add a one pound weight between the camera and the mount, and use the Stabilizer in Vegas 10, since it doesn’t work in 12. Imagine holding a baton in the middle. You could start and stop twirling it very easy as well as shaking it. Then imagine adding a pound weight at each end. The result would be drastically different.

[Danny Hays]

They both work the same with Chrome. Can see 720p as an option in both. Hope this helps.

There’s a way around this problem. I have used “Virtual audio cable” in the past for similar problems. It will allow you the use a virtual audio cable, connect it to the output of your QuickTime player to the input in Sony Vegas. Start recording audio in vegas, then play the QuickTime player.
