Not sure how to upload the file. I did by the buttons across the top, but it didn’t appear here. Can you access it where it’s at?

Now it’s doing the same thing when I try to drop text in a video track right above the scoreboard track. Something is very screwy. I click the track motion on the track header, and it still shows the window positioned at the lower right just like I originally did it. Anyone have any ideas?

FYI, I’m editing the LRV (low resolution video) file the gopro also creates which is why its so fuzzy. I render the MP4 hi res though…

I hate auto correct!!! Anyway, I recently put a 256GB SSD in my I5 laptop, and just got around to reinstalling Sony Vegas Pro 12 and rendering about a 23 minute video 1080p gopro video, and it is estimating 2:56 hrs. I think that’s a great improvement from before! SSDs must make a big difference.

I also found an article that pretty much says any i7 mobile processor is in no way comparable to even an i3 desktop processor. I was hoping to get good performance from a laptop. Is it going to be possible?

Just pixeling when I pan and zoom the video on goals and such. That’s what I’m hoping will improve by filming in 1440 or 2700. An example is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zOSB9mk25Uc

I guess I’m just talking about the tanner rate for storing and moving files, not working with files from an external source. All files I’m working with should be on the internal storage for editing and rendering, shouldn’t they? And what does NLE stand for?

I don’t like how grainy the closeups are in 1080, so I am going to start filming in 1440 or 2700, but then I have to deal with the medium and wide view distortion. That didn’t look to great when filming sporting events.

Excellent advice.

I couldn’t live with 2.0 speed. Each camera records about 15G per game, and it’s 2-4 cameras per. Even wired gigabit Ethernet is time consuming.

What is supposed to be the fastest transfer rate for external storage? Thunderbolt, usb 3.0, FireWire, or cat 6 wired?? That would be good info since I’m just building by storage.

Thanks for all you guys help!!

Thanks! So the Computer in the video is pretty current? I went with exactly his parts I would not be going wrong, right? It’s a moderately priced rig, so it’s something I could swing. I’d do two monitors and probably the more current CPU if something has come out recently.

As for Laptop, I will probably just get a high end I7 with an Nvidia video card, max the RAM, and put SSD’s in for OS and Storage.

I’m planning on getting a 1 or 2 TB USB 3.0 Portable drive for each team I’m doing videos for just to have all their raw videos in one location, easily moved if I’m working at different places. Or I could get a 5 disk RAID array. Haven’t researched that real in depth yet.

Thanks for the reply though!!

Anyone?

[Roger Smith]

I shot those hockey videos with 1080/30 without protune, and they came out ok. I just want better closeups.

One thing I’m wondering if anyone knows is if the ultra wide lens just stretches the sides like 4:3 showing on 16:9, or it stretch the whole picture equally. I could probably cut the sides off if it did the former.

Anyone know?

Thanks for the info. I had already decided to upgrade computers, but just found out the 2.7k and 4k only shoot in ultra wide. That kind of sucks how I use it. Also read that 2.7k is much more stable, and 4k locks the Gopro up frequently.
