Vegas Pro 10 and MOV files
Is anyone editing MOV files (in my case from Canon 5D Mk II and 60D) with Vegas 10 without transcoding, or is transcoding still needed?
I need to edit a 2-camera shoot with just cuts and dissolves, my system is a Dell i7 860 @ 2.80 mHZ with 8GB RAM. Is it possible to preview at full resolution, and see transitions without hiccups? Thanks... |

Vegas 10 Pro 64bit - yes with 12GB RAM in an i7 platform, 32bit in a core 2 with 2GB RAM only a few short clips.

not had to handle many mov files but have found transcoding to mxf works a treat....

Sam,
It is possible, but you'll need good RAM and a computer that can handle it (can't tell you exactly what that looks like but I'm running 4GB ram on a pretty-OK computer) otherwise you'll run into problems. I can edit the mov files from my 5D in Vegas Pro 10 in real time as long as I keep my preview set to "half". The clips won't play smoothly for me on "full" even with no effects added to the clips, and Vegas just automatically drops the preview resolution to "half" anyway. For my system, editing more than one mov file at a time (re: multi-camera editing) would be a no-no. Would be way too frustrating waiting for Vegas to keep up. Hope this helps. |

Mike, as I said my system is a Dell i7 860 @ 2.80 mHZ with 8GB RAM. Seems like that should be hefty enough. I guess I wanted to see a full rez preview, and Vegas can't do it.
Strange, as Avid Pinnacle 14, a consumer program, plays MOV files fine and previews at full resolution. I have to choose between using a less featured program like Pinnacle, or a more full featured program that has issues with the flies. Does anyone have a link, or instructions for transcoding? Could I see edits in full rez if transcoded forst? TIA, |

Re: Vegas Pro 10 and MOV files
What are my options for encoding MOV files? Are they all lossless? After encoding, does Vegas handle the files effortlessly, and in what resolution?
I really wanted to skip the encoding route, but I guess I have to if I want to use Vegas. I still don't get I while a consumer program like Pinnacle or Avid Studio handles MOV files with no issues, and preview can be full resolution. Thanks in advance... |
Re: Vegas Pro 10 and MOV files
I use a lot of mulitcam and it edits fine. I havent transcoded since upgrading to10. I cant get full res after about 4 clips, but 2-3 its works fine. I have a i.7 3.2 quad with 8 GB of RAM

Re: Vegas Pro 10 and MOV files
I'm getting jerky playback with transitions, even a dissolve. This happens even in less than full Rez.
Any ideas? My system is similar to yours, i7 2.8 withn 8G . |
