Bryan,
When I was still using core 2 duo in my dell notebook, sometimes, I use proxies for the HDV files. I'd lay down the HDV track on the Vegas timeline, render it to a 3mpbs or so mpeg2...

Actually, for voice, 128mpbs is good enough. If you were recording music or some other dynamic or wide range sounds, you should go higher or not use mp3 at all. If you need to go mp3, 225-256kpbs is...

However, in your sample, you can really still remove a lot of scenes there without harming the overall video. There are so many dead or non essential scenes there that you...

Thanks for the clarifications.
As for avchd, I guess I prefer the smaller files. That's still 13gb vs 8gb and when I shoot events, I use about 5-6 hours. In my last project, I...

panasonic gh1
If the GH1 is available in your area now, that's the one I'd get. It has 720 60p. Good enough to freeze some of that motion. The GH1 is U$1,500 give or take depending on where you are. The lens it...

I agree with Roger on the HC3. I have the adapter for the audio, and a tiny 3 watt light, that is not much but can be useful at times. The infra red can be useful too for emergencies. Most cameras...

Are you talking about proxies? I used proxies about 4 times already on long projects. I would convert the HDV files into 2-3mpbs SD mpeg2 files and edit those. Easier on the cpu. Come...

Not really
If you said, that 2 years ago, I'd agree with you. But nowadays, not really. Us Sony Vegas users have a slight advantage though that we can edit avchd natively. But of course that still requires a...
