These lines could be interlacing. AVCHD is meant to be displayed on an HD TV which understands interlacing. If you are playing them back on your computer (which does not understand interlacing) then you have to render as progressive. This is probably why Sony support told you to use WMV because it renders progressive by default.

Perhaps you can post a screen shot of the problem you are encountering so we can actually see what is it?

As you have seen, Vegas maxes out at 4x original speed. Then you could add a 300% Velocity curve but that’s still only 12x. The easiest way to accomplish this would be by using a script that can export images of the timeline at regular intervals. You would need to export every 90th frame to get the speed you want. Then import those frames back in as an image sequence. A commercial script tool like Ultimate S Pro or Excalibur can do this for you. There may also be free scripts available that can do this.

May 4, 2009 at 1:49 pm in reply to: WMV – missing template

Do you have the correct Windows Media Player 9 installed? I see that part of your Vegas interface is not in English (is it German?) yet other parts are English. Are you are using a non-English version of Vegas? Do you have the same language version of Windows Media Player? Is your OS in the same language? (I think not because your Windows menu bar is in English) It may be a combination of English and non-English software on your computer that is causing the templates to not be found. (just a guess)

May 4, 2009 at 1:47 pm in reply to: How can I have Dual VGA and 1 Composite or HDMI Monitors?

There are two ways to view program material from Vegas:

(1) For SD you must use an Digital-to-Analog firewire converter such as the Canopus ADVC-110, ADVC-300, ADS Tech A/V Link, etc. Vegas doesn’t support any other way of viewing SD except via firewire. Even an old camcorder with passthru will do.

(2) For HD you can use your Windows Secondary Monitor to display on your second LCD or even to an HD TV using a DVI-to-HDMI cable. You can also use an AJA Xena LH, LHe, LS, or LSe card. Those are pretty much your two HD options for preview.

Of course you can send HD out the firewire but it will be downsampled to SD.

> Why are there no options in the render drop down for BD 1920 x 1080?

Vegas Pro 8.0c has 1920×1080 AVCHD templates for Blu-ray. I’m not at my 64-bit workstation right now to look, but if Vegas Pro 8.1 doesn’t have them, you have to understand that 8.1 is based on 8.0b which is OLDER than 8.0c and has less functionality.

If you’re serious about 64-bit, you want to get Vegas Pro 9.0 when it comes out on May 11th.

Unfortunately no… each is an individual event that must be edited separately.

I assume there is no motion blur in the original video? If there is, there is no way to remove it.

Did you change the frame rate of the render from that of the source video files? If so, you can switch on Disable Resample on all of the events to stop Vegas from interpolating the frame rate difference.

> Though I forgot to mention I am editing AVCCAM files directly, could that be the issue?

Yea, Panasonic and Sony don’t get along too well so it is quite possible that this could be contributing to the problem. I don’t use AVCCAM so I can’t say. Maybe someone else can comment from experience.

May 3, 2009 at 5:17 pm in reply to: WMV & MOV videos looks the same on DVD?

It depends on how much higher the quality of the MOV files are and if that quality is easily perceptible before encoding for DVD. Your DVD files will always be standard definition MPEG-2 format. Once both files are reduced to this format, the difference might not be that noticeable.

> I don’t use Ultimate S so, if there’s a finishing step that I’m not aware of, someone else will have to chime in here.

Nothing special. Vegas always sees the higher tracks first. Adding a title above the master track should work fine as long as the media you add has an alpha channel.

If you have Ultimate S3 or 4 you could also use the Lower Thirds tab to also add a background behind the name.
