Version 453 is the last version from Magix and does not contain dolby AC Pro. If you are currently using the last version from Sony then carefully copy out the dolby pro plugin folder & copy it in to the newer V13.
More info is available on the magix vegas forum. Search missing ‘dolby pro’

Maybe W10 updates have change your firewire driver. I know that to capture HDV the ‘legacy driver’ is required & every major W10 update requires that I reinstall the driver. Google firewire legacy driver. Also try a standalone dv capture programme ‘sceneanalyser’

Best of luck G

Why not do a custom install of QT. Just install the ‘Essentials’.

[Geoff Candy]

Could you not use the BlackMagicIntensity Pro 4K card. It has HDMI input and can be used as a capture device. Have used it to capture within Edius but not used it as an input device with Vegas. It works as a preview output device with Vegas so may well work as an input device.

B&H may be able to advise

[Geoff Candy]

Works perfectly. No worries.

If you can render the whole timeline in sections then maybe the processor is simply over heating after rendering 22% of your timeline.

Have you tried monitoring the processor core temperature?

•Go to Device Manager and click on IEEE 1394 Bus host controllers

•Click on the device listed underneath this heading. In my case it was NEC 1394 OHCI Compliant Host Controller

•Right click this device and select ‘update driver software’ from the shortcut menu

•Then select the option ‘browse my computer for driver software’

•Then select the option ‘let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer’

•This then gave me three drivers to pick from (make sure the’show compatible hardware’ checkbox is ticked

•Select the driver named ‘1394 OHCI Compliant Host Controller (Legacy)’

•Install driver.

This applies to Windows 7. Google legacy drivers for W8 & W10

Ron,

These scripts were published someyears back but works well.
Cut and paste the code block into notepad and save as TrimFront+Back.cs
Copy this file to

C:\program files/Sony/Vegas Pro 11.0/script menu.

Method 2

Cut and paste the code block into notepad and save as TrimCapturedClips.cs
Copy this file to C:\program files/Sony/Vegas Pro 11.0/script menu.

/*

This script will remove the first two and the last three frames of each selected event.
Note that associated audio events also needs to be selected.
@If multiple events are selected on the same track, they will be shifted to the left in order
to not get any gaps between the events.

This script has been verified using Sony HDR-HC3 (NTSC version), HDVSlit v0.75 (https://strony.aster.pl/paviko/hdvsplit.htm)
and Vegas version 7.0b.

Your camera and capture program might require a different number of frames to be removed.
In that case, make changes in the code below (the clipStartTrim and clipEndTrim variables).

The script has been verified using the project templates “HDV 1080-60i (1440×1080, 29.970 fps)” and “HDV 1080-50i (1440×1080, 25.000 fps)”.
Other templates with either 29.970 fps or 25.000 fps should also work.

However, there is no quarantee that it works. Use it at your own risk.

Place this file in the following folder C:\Program Files\Sony\Vegas 7.0\Script Menu
In Vegas, execute Tools->Scripting->Rescan Script Menu Folder
This script will then be available at Tools->Scripting.

History:
v1.0 2006-10-15 Verfified that v0.9 also works for 25.000 fps (PAL).
v0.9 2006-10-14 First version. Supports 29.970 fps (NTSC).

These scripts were published on the Vegas Forum. My preference was for script 2 as the trim length can be set by the user.

Video recorded at 1920×1080 25fps. It matters not whether i or P as the bluray standard is ‘i’.
However; set your timeline to match your ‘footage’.

So why render render render at 60i?

Simply use the standard Mainconcept (AVC or MPEG2) 1920×1080 50i video stream templates.

Don’t forget to render .ac3 audio using Pro not studio.

[Geoff Candy]

Roger, To go back from 765 to 726 involves uninstalling 765 & clean installing 726 + you lose a life on your licence.

Reading this thread and a similar one on sony-vegas forums you would be well advised to stay with 726. However the choice is yours.
