Just played back the m2t files directly in media player classic. You are right, it all looks great in there. No problems with the field lines. Now how do I get it to look that good in DV? 🙁

Thanks. I was hoping to get away from the timecode burn style, but that does work. We actually ended up filming a timer counting down for the video. 🙂

Thanks for all the advice. So far nothing really has worked. It may just be that HDV couldn’t handle the lines on the field or the way the camera was setup that day.
I tried that mikecrash deinterlacer but it fails to run on both Vegas 7 and Vegas 8.
Personally I’ll be glad to get rid of the HDV camera as we move to the P2 platform. Although I’m not a fan of their workflow or the mess of files they create, but the footage is topnotch.

Hi Jeff,
I did try making an HDV project, bringing my HDV footage in there and rendering out as DV and bringing that render into my main project, same bad interlacing results.
I have not tried changing the main project to HDV and rendering everything out to DVD from there. I’ll try that in the morning.
I know on Final Cut Pro you need to run a plugin or filter that shifts all the lines +1 for HDV footage mixed with DV. Maybe there is something for Vegas that does the same thing?

No two monitors or display devices ever look the same, even the same model. They each need to be calibrated individually to make sure the image you are sending it is exactly what you are getting out of it. It sounds like your new monitor is set on ‘torchmode’ which is how most LCD’s are sent from the manufacturer. High contrast, high brightness, not exactly the right image.
Run bars to both monitors and calibrate them. They should start looking like each other, and don’t just copy the settings from one to the other, do the full process with each one seperately.

The QX6700 Extreme works incredible with Vegas. When rendering, all 4 cores are at 100%.
For benchmarks, checkout http://www.hardocp.com as Vegas 7 is now in their suite of benchmark tests.

In our shop we have two editors, one on Vegas, one on FCP. Anything that he can do on FCP, I can do on Vegas. Doesn’t sound limited to me. I do like their integration with Live Type though, along with Motion.
I’m really loving editing HDV with Vegas though.

Thanks for the info, it looks like Scenalizer is what I need, especially since I haven’t captured yet.
Thanks everyone else for the quick replies!

I don’t think it will work. I’ve taken the captured quicktime files (captured with FCP) from my associates mac before into vegas and while you see the files, they look like crap. Worse than video on Youtube. I’m running the full professional version of quicktime as well. I don’t know the inner working of FCP, but I believe it does something different to the quicktime files that is specific to FCP. It’s own codec perhaps. Whenever we share projects, I always have to have him render out to a new quicktime that I can read correctly, or he just prints to tape.

Yes, all you do is set the end action of your menu to activate a button which could be chapter 1. You can set a ‘timeout’ as well for any amount of time. So if say you have a 30 second animation for your menu, but you want it to play through twice before automatically starting the movie, set the timeout to 1 minute.
