Proxy video creation in VP12

megabit schrieb am 14.11.2012 um 13:36 Uhr

I found this new feature extremely useful in my MC edits when the number of cameras being e.g. 10, can bring the original AVCHD playback to its knees,making precise cuts impossible.

I've noticed long ago that VP 12 creates XDCAM EX 1280x720 clips as the proxies for my AVCHD 1080p. This already made the play back speed usable - for 11 cameras, being around 20 fps in Preview/Half.

What I have noticed only today though is VP12 changes the frame rate from my 25 fps to 23,97 FPS! Of course this causes the proxies play back more difficult for Vegas - I tested by changing my project properties from 25 to 23,97 fps, that it can now play back at full speed using proxies!

But of course this is not a very welcome "feature" when doing precise cuts in music videos... Has anyone found a way to control which format is used in video proxy creation?

The Proxy Stream 1.5e that Willem has linked us to, does NOT seem to work properly in VP12.

After rendering the first clip in the queue, its stops with the error message saying something to the effect that the resultanf proxy file cannot be accessed. Of course, the rendered file is present where supposed to, and in good condition, too.

So, to all that do Vegas scripting, a kind request:

1. Could you please check what's wrong with the script?

2. Could anyone attempt to leverage the script functionality by adding automatic selection of all files, present (or selected) in the current project? Right now, each relevant clip in the entire source directory must be selected manually.

Of course, ask for doing this much work I'd never dare, were it not in the interest of the entire Vegas community here. Not to mention that such an improved script could become a payable asset (I'm sure many would pay if the price is right).

Vegasaur contains Proxy Media Builder, but it is not free

Exactly. The nominal frame rate people see in Media Info or other tools is quite meaningless in this scenario, which brings us full circle to my first post in this thread.

Megabit,

in Proxy Stream there is an option to select all files in a folder by checking the file extensions that you want included.

Yes - but auto-selection of media in the current project would be even better :)

"The nominal frame rate people see in Media Info or other tools is quite meaningless in this scenario, which brings us full circle to my first post in this thread."

Not at all. It brings us to the point that it is largely meaningless in any scenario, that there is no purpose served in having it at 23.976 when that is not the matching source frame rate and forcing reference to the source frame rate does nothing other than add complexity.
