Try Streamclip to convert them to something Vegas can work with. It’s free here.

AVI is just a container. They could be XVID or VIDX which Vegas doesn’t like. Streamclip can convert them for you and should not have any sync problems. It’s free here.

If your track is on top, you need to mask the part of your hand to dissapear, not the ostrich.

Set your project settings to progressive and field order to blend and render to progressive as well you will see no interlace lines.

If your rendering as 1280 x 720 (16 x 9) and get black pillar bars on the sides, your camera isn’t shooting HD. If it’s a SD camera,
(4 x 3) rendering to a HD format won’t increase the quality and you will get the pillar bars. What make and model and speed is the computer your working with? -
I believe the two main differences in 9 and 10 are 10 works with AVCHD better and 10 also has a built in stabilizer that works remarkably well. Just make sure you save all your 9 projects in 9 and then make copies to open in 10. If you save a ver 9 project in 10, you won’t be able to open it in 9 anymore.

All three of those camers your looking at are AVCHD, which is fine if you have a fast computer, quad core or an i7 would be ideal. I have a Sony HVR-a1 HDV but recently bought a HDV-TM700 and I doubt I’ll ever use the Sony again. The Panasonic TM700 is a small camera but shoots the best video I have ever seen. It shoots several different bitrate 1080i formats and 18m still pics, but the best feature it shoots 1080 60p. Yes 60p. The downfall of it is 1080 60p isn’t ine the Bluray spec although some BR players will play them.
Once you see video shot in 60p you will be shocked on the quality.
There is a small fan in this camera and some people say they can hear it in the recording but I have yet to. Maybe if you capture in a totally quiet room, you may hear it a little but no more than hearing the tape mechanics of a tape based camera.
It has several scene presets and a complete manual mode as well.
The camera is small as I said and doesn’t look as pro as the ones your looking at, but I put a larger lens hood and a shotgun mic on it and it looks great. Shooting in 1080 60p and played back on a i7 computer to a large HDTV or monitor is absolutly stunning, and being progressive 60p, any fast moving objects show no interlacing. You can edit and render to 720 60p and never work with interlaced footage again. This camera cost me $750 though, you could buy 6 of these and have money left over than what you will spend on the Sony your looking at.
It also has 3 cmos chips and captures great in low light situations. It has the ability to capture 5.1 surround sound as well as stereo. It has been said it’s the camera of the year in 2009 and 2010. Before you buy any cameras, youtube the tm700 and see where people are comparing it to very highend ones.
If your computer is not a quad or i7, you will dissapointed on how sluggish editing any footage from any AVCHD camera so 1080i from a HDV camera may suit your needs. Vimeo also show alot of info on this camera.https://camcorder-reviews.net/panasonic/panasonic-hdc-tm700-review/
Look at the forum threads on the tm700 here.

Yes, Click the track motion icon on each track and resize and position each to ket the desired split screen look desired, and save the preset in eack tracks track motion window as left, right, top or botton, how ever your doing it. Now these presets will able to be used in future projects.

sounds like your only rendering a small part of the video. At the top of the timeline there are two yellow arrows. Drag them to line up with the section of the project you wand the renderd video to have.
Then in your render as window, check render looped region box. -
“RUN” dxdiag and it will tell you almost everything about your computer, like display cards, sound devices ect.
If your running Windows 7, RUN doesnt show ip in the start menu anymore. Just type in the box after hitting the start button. Hope this helps, Danny Hays
