Problem Editing AVCHD in Sony Vegas 10 at DVinfo.net

Armando Irias · May 12th, 2011, 02:05 PM

I have been importing footage from my Sony NX5U into Sony Vegas 10 for editing but I am facing a problem in the timeline. The video freezes at the end and the beginning of each clip placed in the timeline. The problem gets worse when I add transitions and/or filters to the clips. The video was recorded with the following specs: Video: 00:00:14.473, 23.976 fps progressive, 1920x1080x12, AVCHD
Audio: 00:00:14.514, 48,000 Hz, Stereo, Dolby AC-3

My project is also set the same specs.
It also seems weird that I have done tests with footage shot with a Sony camcorder HDR-SR10 with the following specs: Video: 00:00:34.535, 29.970 fps interlaced, 1440x1080x12, AVCHD
Audio 1: 00:00:34.535, 48,000 Hz, 5.1 Surround (stereo downmix), Dolby AC-3
Audio 2: 00:00:34.535, 48,000 Hz, 5.1 Surround, Dolby AC-3
The video in this case runs just fine within the timeline with no freeze frames.

I do my editing on a Toshiba 18.4" laptop running an i7processor Quad Core, 4GB Ram, 1Gb NVidia Video Card
Please somebody help will be appreciated because at this point I have no clue what can be wrong since Sony Vegas is supposed to be editing AVCHD natively. Also, a coworker has the exact same computer doing editing in Sony Vegas 10 and the video from the NXCAM runs just fine in the timeline.
Thanks,

Did you use the Sony CMU to transfer the files from the NX5U to the PC?

The NX5U at 1920x1080 is much bigger and harder to preview than the HDR-SR10 at 1440x1080. Just as the HDR-SR10 footage is harder to preview than an .avi file from a PD-170. Vegas Pro 10 does edit h.264 & AVCHD natively, but not perfectly.
