Hi Walter,

Yes there is a warp stabiliser and a fast colour correction effect applied. With the fast colour correction turned off the clip exports fine but this is as expected because without the correction the sky is underexposed and this problem only happens to things that are bright (100% white).

I’ve tried exporting with and without MPE but this does not make a difference. Same with maximum depth, on or off does not make a difference.

We did end up exporting DPX to Smoke but I still don’t understand why an uncompressed quicktime should be so hard to make.

Thanks for your reply by the way

I am having that exact same problem. Ever find a workaround?

[Joel Taylor]

Seems like the problem is the fluro lights. It seems to be ok in direct sunlight.

Thanks guys

I know its late but i just had the same problem. You need to format the cards in the camera first. That will work

Hey Guys,

Thanks for the responses. The camera is a Sony HDR SR12 1920 x 1080i 50i PAL 25fps.

I am copying the raw m2ts files from the camera to my hard drive via USB. Then I open Vegas 9 and make the project 1920 x 1080i 50i 25fps (or sometimes I just click the button that says something like “Match Video Setting”) Then when I have finished editing I render as AVCHD 1920×1080-50i.

Then depending on the project I sometimes import into DVDA and burn a 720 x 576 PAL 25fps DVD. What I find strange is that if I copy the raw file onto the PS3 via USB and play it off the PS3 hard drive it looks jumpy but when played through component looks perfect.

I should add I am not burning to bluray yet as I don’t have a blu ray burner but I have tried burning the data file which the PS3 recognises but cant play without the ghosting. Someone on another thread said they had this problem but they changed the project to 50fps and rendered out at 50fps. I tried this but the computer just kept crashing. Frankly I dont see how you can get frames where there are no frames.

I am burning a holiday video at the moment which (fingers crossed) seems to be working… i turned resampling off on all clips and from what i have watched looks like it may have been fixed.

Thanks guys

Hey, how did you export at 50fps? I have the exact same problem but when I go to export it says an error has occured in the render the cause of the problem can not be determined

[Joel Taylor]

I have the same camera and Ive found if you go Tools / Burn Disc / Burn Blu Ray Disc and create a disc image only then burn that image to a DVD using whatever burning program you have works well. If you end up doing it this way I’d be very interested to know whether you get a slight strobing effect during pans as I’m trying to work out whether it is my camera or my export settings

Hi Rob,

I’ve been editing HD footage lately and managed to do 3 hours of 1080i footage without crashing. I am running 32bit XP too but I dont think this is a bad thing. It seems to run really well in XP. I have a quad core 2ghz CPU, 2 Gig RAM, Nvidea 8600GT Graphics Card and 500GB hard drive so as you can see it’s an ok computer but nothing special and Vegas seems to work. I’m thinking it may be a bug in the program but it’s really hard to tell without seeing it.

Hope this helps

I guess it is just a matter of time until Avid get up to speed with new codecs but until then Vegas seems to work fine. Also because it is consumer software there are stacks of tutorials online to help you. Can I just ask you how you export movies (settings etc)? I haven’t found a good quailty format yet that is a good resolution apart from burning a blu ray file.

I am in Australia using PAL so I have put it at 50i. should i change it to 60i?
