Wonderful. Thanks for the info.
BTW, do you still use the 32-bit version because there are some elements still missing from the 64-bit version? I used to the 32-bit version for 9 when I first got it, but now it seems as if the 64-bit version has all the same rendering templates. Do I still need the 32-bit version?

So I can’t create a veggie file in Vegas 9 and then work with it in 10? Yikes. So is the only workaround that if I want to use Cineform I need to stay in 9. Not a great solution at all. Seems like I’m going to have either pull away from Cineform or Vegas 10 for awhile. Since I took advantage of the cheap upgrade to 10, I guess I won’t go past the trial on Cineform. Unless there’s a better idea out there — if so I’d love to hear it.

Awesome. Thanks!

Excellent advice, as always. Thanks a ton. One last question/observation: even though I’ve shot in true 24P, it seems like converting to cineform neoscene files is worthwhile because it is so much easier to edit than with AVCHD. Is that your impression? Is there any downside I’m missing other than larger files after converting. Thanks.

Okay, pretty close. Most of the footage looks good; there is still some bluriness and ghosts on a few of the pans, but that may just be a case of too much the camera. In any case I have enough cuts to get by without it. But that does bring up one last question: considering the problems I had with true 24p on the vixia, would I be better off remaining with their version of 30P?
And thank you for your patience and wonderful help.

I did everything you suggested, but the rendered version using MainConcept MP4 was not as sharp as the Sony MP4 version. So now I’m going to try cineform on the files. Maybe that will help?

Vegas shows the event to be 23.976 (IVTC Film). And according to the Canon manual,
“24F – 24 frames per second, progressive. Using this frame rate will achieve the same cinematic look as PF24, the difference being that video is recorded as true 24p.”
The manual then says that I would need to use supplied software ImageMixer 3 to convert movies recorded with this frame rate to standard definition. I didn’t think that would affect me since I have no need for standard definition. But is it worth trying to see if it produces better results in Vegas?
Thanks for you help.

I have only tried to render to MP4 because I’ve gotten best results with it in the past. I have tried rendering to both 24p and 29.970. Also, when I play the raw AVCHD/.MTS files with windows media player, it actually looks sharper and I don’t see the blurriness.
