Avchd & mpeg
I have Vegas 10. I've done multiple multi cam editing projects with Canon HV30 tapes. A friend has asked me to edit a 3 cam shoot. 2 Cams are Canon XHA1--tapes--1440x1080--no problem.. The other file is AVCHD 1920x1080 (I don't know the camera). Can I use the AVCHD files directly in the multi cam project or do I need to change them. Would I ultimately render in 1440 or 1920. I am an amatuer hobbyist

Re: Avchd & mpeg
I don't know Vegas. (I use Adobe and Edius Neo 2.5, so I can't explain exactly what you must do).
I am nearly certain you'll need to convert the AVCHD into an editable format. Natively, it's heavily compressed and usually uneditable, unless your version of Vegas provides for conversion. Neo 2.5 allows mixing clips of different format types/frame size on the timeline; I don't know if Vegas does. If Vegas doesn't allow it, and you don't have a means of conversion, I'm pretty sure there are free apps available, but because I use Neo for that, I can't recall any off the top of my head. Search these forums for specifics. If you REALLY get stuck, depending on the size of the file, I might be willing to run it through Neo and ship it back to you. |

Generally speaking: Yes you can. Just drop it on the timeline and go.

Vegas 10 should handle any AVCHD easily. With up-to-date hardware, it should be a breeze.

It's not a problem.
I've edited a 3 camera shoot in Vegas 10 with clips from Canon HV40, XHA1 (both HD) and HFS21 which is AVCHD. As Edward says, just drop them on the timeline and go. |
