HI Charlie,
I thought of doing that but wouldn’t that be a really big file for a 54 minute program? And take several hours to render? I guess I’ll give that a shot.

Thanks

Now I understand what you’re saying. Don’t think I can do that here. The QT ref file is indeed referencing other qt files. But these files are the clips captured in Avid. And it isn’t possible to reference just the parts of those clips I need.

The QT reference file I’m trying to bring into Vegas is a reference file of an edited timeline that has about 700 edits which of course is referencing much larger video clips. And the problem I’m experiencing is kind of strange. The complete audio from the reference file is played back just fine in Vegas. But only about 3% of the video referenced in the QT ref file is actually playing back in Vegas. However, if I pull the same qt ref file into After Effects, I can see all the video on a timeline. But that doesn’t help me here.

I really like the way Vegas renders mpeg2 files. I’m having trouble with sorenson squeeze which is usually what I use when creating DVDs from Avid projects.

Looks like the answer might be to print to tape and digitize into Vegas.

Hmmm…not sure how I would do that. How would I have Vegas read all the pieces from an Avid timeline?
