2k/4k/6k videos

valte799 wrote on 6/11/2019, 6:16 AM

hi, today i wanted to start a new project but as soon as i started guess what, a new bug/problem with vegas, strange this never happen right ? anyway my problem now is that vegas does not allow me to import 2k and 6k clips into the project. the clips are recorded from a videogame so they are recorded in 600fps, also i don't know if vegas can read such a file, so i'm asking to you. my build of vegas 16 is the 361.  this is an example of the clips i have. if you can't open the file tell me and i will upload it on mediafire and then link it to you.

600 fps, and 6K? Why?

600 fps, and 6K? Why?

i don't know i do not record them. i guess because if you edit those clips with a program that can support them you really have no limits to what you can do. the fps are that high to make you be able to slow down the clip and mantain the "smoothness" of the video, the 6k because why not ? if thats the higher resolution that you can have from that game why not use it ? the fact that vegas can't support them is a secondary thing, an editor should always aim at the best quality he can get for his videos.

Do video games update at 600 fps?

With respect, the person capturing your clips is an amateur.

Anything beyond monitor resolution, bit depth or refresh rate is probably more than needed. Makes the file bigger, but not better.

OTOH 600fps would make great slo-mo.

Methinks there are many duped frames, like 5:1

It would make great slomo if the original material was actually at 600fps. If this is screen capture, then as Musicvid says, anything faster than screen refresh is a waste of time.

The Perfect Storm: Media Generation made without knowing how it’s to be handled then handed-off to an Edit with expectations greater than an understanding of the NLE that will process.

@wwaag - Oh yes 😎

valte799 wrote on 6/12/2019, 3:03 AM

this is a link of some edits where this type of clips were used. as you can see the clips are meant to be overedited, giving you the possibility to be as much creative as you want.

 

anyway guys i don't know exactly what is the best way to record clips etc etc. but for now i would be happy if someone know how to make this type of clips work in sony vegas. I believe there must be some external codec or some program to compress the file without loosing quality to download

Vegas does not import anything larger than 4k (4096 x 4096).

As far as frame rate, I'm not sure, but 600fps is beyond reason, as stated. May try converting in Handbrake, but I don't know ffmpeg's limits.

The problem is that you are trying to import h264 format video inside an avi container which Vegas rejects. You will have to either rewrap your video into an mp4 or mov container or transcode it. If you are handy with FFmpeg, you can easily do this. If not, you could consider trying HappyOtterScripts which has an ImportAssist tool designed for doing these conversions. There is also a tool, FrameFixer that will enable you to easily determine how many duplicate frames you have. HOS is currently in beta through 1 Aug. Here is the link https://tools4vegas.com/.

The person creating those clips, if they even are 6k, has a big imagination. Ridiculous is a better word.

The defining question for you, my friend, as for all hype-fueled hobbyists, is simple: "Do you currently own a 6k HDR monitor with a 600 hZ refresh rate?

As a producing editor for over two decades, this stuff makes my blood boil. Watch for a detailed analysis of this absurdity coming below..

Here are the most glaring errors in the MediaInfo you posted:

Height                                   : 1 080 pixels

-- The video is vanilla HD 1080, not 2k, not 4k, not 6k

Overall bit rate                         : 355 Mb/s

-- The highest bitrate for AVC 1080p is 240Mbps. Anything over 30Mbps is usually considered overkill.

Format/Info                              : Advanced Video Codec

Format                                   : AVI

-- A nonstandard format, AVI does not support b-frames, meaning AVC is only about as efficient as mpeg-2, meaning the file size sucks compared to AVC/mp4.

Format profile                           : High@L6.1

-- The maximum Level for AVC 1080p is 5.2. The minimum dimensions for L6.1 are 3840 x 2160.

Frame rate                               : 600.000 FPS

-- The maximum frame rate for AVC 1080p is 172. The usual is 30 or 60 NTSC, 25 or 50 PAL.

So, until your provider gains the experience needed to match both your imaginations, I suggest you go elsewhere for your clips. Vegas supports up to 4k at PUBLISHED STANDARDS. Heavily fantasized formats, as yours, are a crapshoot. I'm not even going to try, but you would download the x264vfw codec from Sourceforge if you wish to try opening it.
