Kashif: I followed your advice to download the free Cineform Studio and install it. But if it comes with the Cineform codec, as you stated, it is not available to Vegas Pro 12. I even restarted my computer but Vegas gives me an error “codec not found” when I try to render in avi/cineform. However, when I install the trial version of Neoscene, the codec is available and allows Vegas to render. Any comments?

Question: are there several versions of this codec with different qualities?. I believe reading in one of our forums, that Vegas Pro included that codec in vs 7 (not from vs 8 on) and it was of medium quality. So are there several quality leves on this codec, and if so, what is the quality of this free codec that comes with Cineform Studio.?

You are right. I will try do do sections and then assemble them as nested. Might be easier to manage than trying to do it all at once. Thank you all. Learned a lot in this exchange.

Right. I meant damaging my work, since the original files remain intact.

Would that still work if I include 200-300 pictures res 1920×1280?
Another reason for avoiding long single projects is that as a novice in editing, more often than not, someting terrible happens by my mistake, like lack of synchronization of sound, or some of my pictures moving unexpectedly when I try to insert a video. This despite saving frequently which I learned to do. So if I ever get so mired that I need to start that section again, I am limiting my damage (and learning in the process) No doubt when my skills are up to par, your suggestion is the way to go. Thanks for all your help!!! -
I have a Handycam cx560 and I am recording at highest quality FX , 60i frame rate, so I guess that answers my question. Thanks.

Thank you all for your responses. Question: how do you select “uncompressed” from the output format drop menu? Under which category would it be? Yes I have a Handycam, not a professional Sony Camera, I like photography, but when I travel is nice to bring your pictures together in a kind of slide show. That led me to add some footage from a little camera that does film too (unsatisfactory) and eventually I bought a decent Handycam. I eventually end up with 300 to 500 pictures to which I add video footage. Using Premiere in the past with a very fast computer (mandatory) with 2 raid arrays, it would hang up after several hours of rendering, so I switched to Sony Vegas Pro which I never had problems with. However, I decided not to render all at once based on my previous experience (which might never happen with Vega, but I have never tried to do so far.
As I learned more, I added some effects and filters which will make rendering more challenging, so I am sticking with rendering shorter segments and then assembling them for a final Blue Ray burn. I should try to import a project into another if I do several segments, I am afraid that rendering complex files will give me rendering problems which so far I never experienced with Vegas.
If I end up using Sony MFX 422 at 50, which variation shall I use for Blue Ray final output? There is 60i, 50i and 24p. What wold be the difference. Again thank you all for steering me in the right direction. -
Thanks for your response. I might dabble on Sony YUV just to get some experience,this is for a Blue Ray disk to be watched in a wide screen TV, and even the best of them don’t have such a great resolution. I keep learning from the best!!!!
