DVDA wants to recompress HD video

Jeff Harper · May 27th, 2011, 04:55 PM

I'm using the GH2, and three GH1s for weddings, and I'm shooting in 720 60p. If the cameras had 1080 60p, I would use it, but they don't.

720p is ideal for me anyway. It converts from the Vegas timeline perfectly for SD, and I can simply render which ever format I want, 16:9 widescreen or HD for Blu-ray.

If I want to convert the footage in HD link to SD for a client, I use the 1280x720p avi preset, and it converts quickly because there is no resizing involved. A whole wedding converts in less than an hour or two.

The raw footage works well on the timeline, and it's a bit tough with four cameras, but I'm going back to a 4 disc Raid 0 setup this weekend to deal with that.

Dale , Edius HQ will work fine in Vegas 10, 32 bit if you are using Edius 5.5 or if you are using Edius V6 then HQ should /will work in Vegas 10, 32 or 64 bit version. I do all my video editing in Edius and just use Vegas for audio editing and preparing for Bluray.
