Gearshift & AVCHD

Wolfgang S. wrote on 12/30/2007, 12:42 PM

Gearshift only uses existing render templates - and beside the templates "AVCHD for PAL/NTSC" there are no render templates in Vegas, that combines 5.1 audio with video (or whatever you use as proxy-file).

Either you combine the audio part with the new rendered video part manually (what can be a lot of work), or you use stereo only.

OK on the 5.1 issue but I'm still having problems getting Gearshift to work the way I would like: with Proxies only.

I don't want to create the Intermediaries since this takes a lot of time and, I think but could be wrong, the final render will use the Intermediaries instead of the original AVCHD files. I don't see any benefit to doing so although I have managed to make Gearshift work in that mode.

So I'm trying to run Gearshift in Proxy Only mode.

I have tried Source, Media Bin and Timeline modes. Source and Media Bin modes will allow me to create the GSP Proxy files but the swap from source to proxy or proxy to source just doesn't work. The replacement is not made. I get an error message every time. In the Timeline mode you cannot create a Proxy only render. It is not allowed by Gearshift.

So the question is:

Can you actually convert .m2ts AVCHD files to Gearshift Proxies and swap source to proxy and proxy to source (without creating the Intermediaries)? If so, how?

I have not tried - since I prefer the Intermediates, if I edit AVCHD at all (and use the Canopus HQ conversion tool here). So, I cannot say here more.

Ooops! I just recreated this error (sorry) and fixed it this morning. There is a new release of GearShift 1.7.1 that fixes the problem with .m2ts files not swapping. Just download the latest GearShift from the VASST web site and install it over what you have now.

Yup. You were doing everything correctly. It was a bug in the program. This should work now. Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused you.

Thanks for the quick response but I still have a problem.

I installed 1.7.1 right over 1.7.0. 1.7.0 Uninstalled OK. 1.7.1 installed OK and shows up on the Vegas 8.0a taskbar just like it should. All looks OK installation-wise.

But I get the following message when I launch Gearshift:

"The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference."

I can post the full error message if you want.

Any ideas?

I also get the same message so this appears to be a glitch in the latest build

The complete error message:

System.IO.FileLoadException: Could not load file or assembly 'Sony.Vegas, Version=8.0.0.179, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=3cda94b1926e6fbc' or one of its dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)

Reverting back to version 1.7.0 fixes the problem

Cliff,

Thanks that pinpointed the problem. I've uploaded a new build. Please download the 1.7.1 version again and see if that works. Under Vegas Pro 8 when you go into the GearShift About Box (i.e., click on the VASST logo) it should say:

Version: 1.7.1.33285

I have this working for me under Vegas 8.0a (Build 179)

Sorry but I'm still getting the same error with the updated 1.7.1. I can't get to the logo but the time stamp on GearShiftV8.dll is 1/1/2008 3:29PM and the size is 1244 KB.

I am running version 176 of Vegas 8.0a.

Here is the complete error message.

You still have the old one. Make sure when you downlaod it you are not using a download manager or anything that will see that it's already been downloaded and give you the one that's in your cache.

The new GearShiftV8.dll will have a timestamp of 1/1/2008 6:29PM and the GearShiftInstaller-1.7.1.exe will have a timestamp of 1/1/2008 6:31PM.

"You still have the old one. "

Nope. The installer timestamp is 6:31PM and my 3:29PM West Coast is probably your 6:29PM East Coast.

Still broke.
Should I upgrade Vegas from 176 to 179?

Yes, this was compiled against Vegas Pro 8.0a Build 179. That should fix the problem.

JohnnyRoy:

Thanks for all the hard work on a day when you should have been watching ball games and drinking beer.

The update to 179 did the trick.

Thanks again.

Johnny: To save starting a new thread I ask will Gearshift be working with the EX1 at 1990x1080 as an alternative to Cineform HD (as opposed to the 1440 version HDV)?
