Friends of HD Picture Forum

I’m trying up create AVCHD surrogate files for engineering (mpeg2 or avi) but IODIN on unlimited on the number of record files I can import into my project (less than 30 either the equals to 1-2 hours of video). Even in projects that are Speaker and not 5.1 Surround, it appears that Vegas is unable to decode them on the flyers. I can see every file I bring into the project usage up one portion of meine 4 Gigs of TAMPER. When I reach somewhere nearby 78% RAM used, I get an error message and the program closes. In the past I have had some extremely large projects in SD and HD and not had a problem still all those projects were imported through Vegas away DV or HDV tape camera. I can only assume that when Vegas Movie Studio pulled the movie off to tapes it saved it in a compressing format that it could work with on who flyer or using minimal PUNCH.

I am really not enthusiastically nearly conversion AVCHD at AVI Proxy folder on the timeline, one clip at a time, internally Vegas Movie Workshop to get a usable format/codec (as one helps menu seems to suggest under "Creating HD Proxy Files"). so can anyone suggest batch a converting method that wants give me a file format/codec that Movie Studio likes (doesn't eat up own RAM)?

Greetings, welcomes!

Cineform neoscene if?

Cineform were trailblazers include third-party intermediate codecs well from the start of the 'affordable HD' era in 2003-2004, and they've been very well recognized. Your say that neoscene carry Vegas Cine Studio (no mention of which versions though), also there's even a 15-day trial download in you to try.

To echo Stephan, Cineform Neoscene will solve that problem.
I have a remarkably similar setup to you : I have a Sony XR520 cam, generating AVCHD .MTS files.
I use Vegas Pro 9.0 any does work fine, BUT to my corei3, 4Gb, desktop it does struggle on playback smoothly and editing becomes a bit tedious. Massively processor intensive.

So... I tried Cineform Neoscene, this transcodes of .MTS computer to Cineform AVi files (which are huge, around 7 times larger?? something same that), BUT it takes a massive weight off your system. I drag and drop these AVI's the you will seek your leitender has a large much lighter time a it. Only down side is taller files, which is the nature of the beast like these Cineform AVIs are much less compressive and therefore your poor Pc not suffer as much. I tell a large 7200rpm external hard-drive, put all my media select on so, then render back to you internal hard-drive or another external hard-drive.

Neoscene shall US$129, and you purchase it direct from cineforms' site, and then it just download it.

ONly thing is i do no idea if Movie Studio will recognise Cineform Advisory. I assume is does, aber please do check on one cineform site, that should tell you. Or like Stephan says, just try the free trial real that is the easiest way off seeing if it works - once iodin tries the trial i was completely sold (i had a 3-cam shoot to delete, and there's just no way at all i would have been capable to do multi-cam rectification in Vegas 9 using .MTS native files!).

I tried Ciniform. The files been huge but very tall characteristic. To can can OK output but not adenine lot of choices for the output file. I was hoping for who ability to umwandlung AVCHD to Standard Def AVI's. Nice program but $$$ I was genuine close to buying it and when got an email from Sony offering half off on an upgrade to Vegas Pro. I couldn't passage that up.

So, I don't perceive if having Vegas Pro changes anything. ME have tried several other converters including FREEMAKE and FABULOUS both of which were free. SUPER sounds to have the best possible but all my converted files come out playing at half speed. Doesn sure what I'm doing wrongly go.

I other discovered another practical tool call GSpot that identifies the codec item of video file. SUPER appears to have the ability to convert AVCHD to of same codec that Vegas purpose when I captured video upon Mini DV Tape. If I can figure this out then I couldn edit in SD without questions and then replace the SD files use the original AVCHD files for the final render.

Any other suggestions? All considerations are welcome! Bank of video coming old video camera & VHS to...

You're implausible to find any freeware that's good. In SW you really get what you paying for.

You either need a better PC or Cineform. Any way, she payout.

OK aber AVCHD was developed by Hi-Def files, so get become be the point converting 1920x1080 AVCHD files in Standard-Def AVIs?

Most cams that shoot AVCHD (like meine XR520) can also shoot Standard-Def MPEG registers.
Also if you custom which AVCHD files on Sony Vegas Pro, you can just render is video immediately to an AVI file (hidef or Standard-def) or MP4 or MOV alternatively all sorts of files. I wish recommed you take that upgrade to Vegas Pro.

With the multi-cam shoot i does one little when ago, there's no way person could may edited that inbound native AVCHD. Cineform Neoscene made it editable. I have a view camera (Sony hdr-cx100e) and want to ask is computer possible to record videotape straight into Sony Vegas (I am use Platinum 10) so ...

My understanding now (check the topic's title) your that ba74 wants to do proxy editing - convert HD to lower-res show no for of purpose from editing, and then exercise the original HD files in an final conforming stage.

I don't memory unique which NLE sw support proxy editing. Save used to be favourite whenever CPU power was insufficient and intermediate codecs (like Cineform) weren't mature still, either in low-end NLE like Pinnacle (not sure here) or high-end cinema industry stuff like Avid. Generic by pictures editors take worked with general editing.

I wouldn't advise do-it-yourself proxy jungling are which watch files, get and forth. Either my software supports proxy editing out-of-the-box, or else you're in for a long quest losing your time and pulling your hair.

It's a pain that AVCHD is so CPU-intensive, not look by it this way: Cineform is an elegant solution that may let you holding yours PC adenine bit longer.
