I am a total newbie to video editing, so my questions are really simple. On the other hand, I've not been able to find answers very easily, so here I am. Hoping someone can help:
1) My camcorder is a Canon FS200 which shoots in standard definition. When I created my first Vegas project, I used the feature that analyses a sample video clip to set up the project properties correctly. Only now, the image (which the camcorder records in wide-screen format) shows in the preview windows NOT in wide-screen format. The image is scrunched vertically. So my question (before I spend a ton of time on my 45 minute wedding video) is: Does the image look like way in the project monitor only, or will it actually render that way?
2) Can anyone share a link that explains in layman's terms what all these acronyms stand for (HDV and all the others)? I've checked my Canon manual, and I can't even seem to find an answer to that simple question so as to set up my own project properties.
Thanks everyone. Appreciate any input you can provide.
