My new HC7 HD camcorder will be here tomorrow and thus I bravely step into the world of HD. I've been reading the Vegas manual and Spot's HDV Second Edition, but I want to have some reassurance before I leave this week on vacation with my HC7 in hand.
I want to record in 1080i HD to future proof my recording to tape. I also want to Print to Tape the edited HD rendered file. The final format delivery will be SD DVD for the moment. My PC is a P4 3.2 Ghz with 2GB RAM.
I guess I have a few choices of what to do in between. My current thought is to use Cineform with the Sony Batch Converter, but I'm not sure if my PC will have enough horsepower. If not, it seems like Gearshift is the way to go. Anyone here using Cineform with this level of PC?
Once I've done the editing, what format do I render in so I can Print to Tape to the HC7 for the final HD output? This tape will just be used for archiving and maybe someday used for a new project burned to HD DVD.
If my camera supports it, I guess I can capture in SD rather than HD, but I'd rather not do this.
Am I on the right track? I appreciate any suggestions you have. The only think I know for certain is I want to record in HD later this week but what comes after is what worries me. Thanks.
