I rendered directly from storyboard using Sony AVC using the Blu-ray 1920×1080-60i, 16 Mbps video stream template. Then I imported into Architect. John suggested I use the 60i frame rate:

[John Rofrano] “Why are you setting your Blu-ray project to 24p when the rest of your video is 60i? Use the 60i setting instead.”

Unfortunately,I’m not getting 60i as a choice.

Perhaps I did something wrong along the line?

Also, is the default bit-rate of 18 Mbps sufficient?

Thanks, John, I can’t wait to give all your suggestions a try. I really appreciate your taking the time to read my lengthy post and offer up some tweaks!

To be fair, I can use the Main Concept Internet template and it works almost as well. There are some artifacts in the MC render that are not present in the .mts footage or the Pro 10 rendering (screenshot below). I sent Sony three 4-second clips (.m2ts, Sony AVC Internet from Pro 10, and Main Concept Internet from Pro 11) so they can see the issue I’m having.

I’ve tried adjusting bitrate to no avail. So, I think Sony needs to add the templates that were there in 10 and missing in 11.

See my screenshots for Pro 10 template that work!

The missing Sony AVC Internet templates is an issue I’ve reported and hopefully they are working on a remedy. I’ve been using version 10 whenever I need these templates. Otherwise, 11 works well for me.

Yes, it works for me as well!

[Scott Francis] “The only issue you may have is if you are doing longer shoots, the camera limits file size at 2GB, and you will have multiple files for a longer that 17mins shoot.”

Ouch! I plan to shoot multiple cams for a 1-hour plus show (using XA10 and M41). From what you are reporting, I may need to resynchronize every 17 minutes – doable but annoying!

Scott,
Don’t have SV 9.0c but it works with Vegas Pro 10 & 11. I use this cam at its highest setting (MXP) and it saves to .MTS files on the internal flash memory. I connect to my PC via the included USB cable and drag the files over. I’m able to edit with no problems. In fact, the raw MTS files off the cam play directly with Windows Media Player as well.

I’m using the NVIDIA® GeForce™ GTX 550 Ti with no issues. Before I purchased SV11 I asked Sony tech for confirmation that it would work. You could do the same if you’re in doubt. The info online is a bit generalized.

If you’re short on time you could do both – have them build the basic unit and you could add hardware yourself. That’s basically what I did. I’ll vouch for their tech support – always picked up the phone when I called.
