I only ask to get up to date , as vegas 11 just came out and who knows what conversion software is being using right now etc. I fully realize that this subject has been beaten to death, but things have been changing so fast, that year old posts just might not be valid

thanks for your help, the show has won some small festivals and is going to a big one on New York, so would like to fix the color for my friend as i am a experienced telecine colorist

here is a bigger file render Canon 5d mk 11 Rendered in the trial version of vegas 9. canon is so lowlight that i was able to add a pola indoors and it removed the window reflections! shot at a 60th at 640ASA with a Zeiss 100mm prime lens

no color correction, just a tiny bit of contrast added

set your youtube playback to 720p HD , I don’t have an HD moniter, so i don’t know how it really looks?

Made this little video using the gearshift workflow in sony vegas 8

proxy dv widescreen for editing, then shift back to the camera orignial and render. worked perfectly and smoothly. this is a dvd quality render so most people can play it canon 5d mk11 camera

John,

I removed quiktime 7.6.6 and downloaded and installed Quicktime version 7.6.4.

Now clips load and convert using Gearshift and play exactly the same as in the trial version of Vegas 9 on my computer.

What threw me, was before I posted this thread, I removed quicktime and installed quicktime version 6.?.? (don’t remember the exact version) with no luck

so quicktime version 7.6.4 restored Vegas 8 to work with canon 5d mk 11 files and Gearshift

You saved my butt on this, amazing!

so impressed how Gearshift conforms back to the orignial hd files with just a click, no time to do it, works instantly

wonderful

thanks so much!

Update,

This is interesting:

the test clip I converted using gearshift in the trial version of vegas 9

Loads and plays great in vegas 8, shifts back to hd uncompresed and plays.

don’t know what is going on here,

Times are too hard to buy all new software and computers

[Greg Lewolt]

Bought Gearshift. works fantastic in the vegas 9 trial, but no video displays in vegas 8,

when I convert the canon 5d files to windows media they will show up in the timeline and play in Vegas 8.

as clips play in vegas 9 with the same old computer, its not a hardware issue

should I remove and re-install sony 8, or remove quicktime 7 and replace it with an older virsion? I belive I read one of your posts where you said the new quicktime did not work in vegas 8, but what old version should I download?

[Greg Lewolt]

Thanks,

I have been through so many conversion programs, It’s amazing.

some do not have the right frame size, some are way too slow,

found that I have to convert to a small wmv file to get smooth playback in auto preview mode or draft, but have to reduce the frame size to 960×540

I have never conformed back to an orignial file.
what are the settings and steps?

and what are the render settings for youtube hd?
so most people can play the file…

thanks for your help

I just talked to the post house and they said my disc is fine. As it is duel layer the ddp 2.00 render contained two folders and they are used to one. they said to label it as containing multible folders next time.
I asked If they want two discs for duel layers, she said no, but that makes sense to me to avoid problems

You would think that they do this everyday right?

Thanks, I’ll give it a try and let everyone know

I read that one company needs one dvd with layer 1 and a second dvd with layer 2 ddp 2.0 for dvd9 duel layer mastering?

anyone delivering 2 1/2 hour long programs to replicators that can help me with the mastering settings etc?
