just a tip, if you click on the search “charm”, you get to the “Apps” page and this is pretty much the same as the start menu. Don’t forget it scrolls at the bottom. It is not as compact but you can get to see the almost every app they have. Some ways it’s better, it’s like having the entire start menu spread out before you.

Hi,
that’s what I did and it does work. There’s some question as to whether SVP12 is supported in Win8 but you would need to check the Sony Web to confirm that.
I had trouble with the nVidea driver. I upgraded Win7 to Win8 and the graphics was broken 🙁 . So if you are upgrading to Win8 go to the vendor for whatever graphics card you have and upgrade to the latest driver.

Before the very latest nVidea driver SVP12 crashed frequently. Turning the accelerator off helped enormously – to the point that I’ve had no crashes since. I got brave enough to enable the accelerator again. It did work on projects that have not crashed before but still crashes on a project that did crash (i.e. a crash must leave a project damaged).

With the accelerator disabled SVP12 and Win8 feels like a robust pairing.

Jim,
using a suggestion from a similar thread; I disabled the graphics accelerator – and it works now. It is still a bug but I am happy to be able to continue with the project.

Hi,
I should have read your post more closely than I did.
I set a project up with 3d (stereoscopic mode?). I selected the MainConcept AVC/AAC format and I was able to select mp4 format.

if that doesn’t work I’m running out suggestions. Post the exact details of how you set up project.

Hi,
the new ‘Render As’ window confused me for a while (easily done 🙁 )
try:
Render As
Name your file (in output file)
check or uncheck ‘match project settings) as required (if you selected to match media earlier by matching project settings you should get a better result but you need to customize then uncheck that box.
click on the codec you want (e.g. MainConcept AVC/AVC), i.e. the little arrow on the left will be pointing right, it should come down and reveal the other options.
select the ‘star’ you want.
scroll down and you will see the ‘Customize Template’ button. Then you will be back on familiar territory.

I think you can do everything you used to be able to do; it has just been moved around a bit, improved 🙂

I am able to Render on the paid version.
Not sure whether you can on the trial version – you probably can, just got confused by the new dialog.

[Mark Thompson]

well, I’ve answered the question as to whether the watermark appears after render – you can’t render on the eval edition (or at least it won’t for me 🙁 ).

Hi,
it seems this is requirement that is not well served.

How did you get your content? was it XDCAM originally or are you delivering some generate content ? (e.g. animation)
Sony has software to wrap this (XDCAM XFER) but it is Mac based.
The only option I can think of is this: https://code.google.com/p/ffmbc/

Hi,
not quite sure I understand their requirements. The closest I could come up with is:
Render as: Sony MXF Format (*.mxf)
pick the HD422 1920×1080-50i 50Mbps template. Hit the Custom button until the settings are to your liking. You will have to adjust the Audio to 16 bits (seems to be 24 by default).

Mxf format is what you usually associate with XDCAM.

Are they asking you to deliver as quicktime?

H,
you probably tried this but… sometimes hardware comes with outdated drivers, so you have to get the very latest from the suppliers web site. In this case: https://support.amd.com/us/Pages/AMDSupportHub.aspx
They seem to have a tool to online check whether you have the right driver.
As it is crashing in the Open CL driver; disabling the graphips accelerator in vegas might work for you.
