Go ahead and edit or re-encode, then edit?

A messy situation:

Footage 1920 * 1080 (16:9) @ 25 fps Audio: 48.0 Khz, 16 bits, 2 channels

Footage 1280 * 720 (16:9) @ 59.940 FPS Audio 48 khz 16 bits, 2 channels

I need to edit this footage together and want the end result to be 1920 x 1080.

Can I go ahead and combine and edit the footage in Vegas Pro 19 or will it cause problems?

One possibility is to re-encode, probably the latter, to 1080P @ 25 FPS.

Any VP users been in this situation? What is the best course of action?

TotalFX are OFX plugins and is therefore compatible across a broad range of NLEs. Please see TotalFX's product webpage at https://newbluefx.com/products/totalfx/

Towards the bottom of this page there is a listing called Compatibility and Requirements, and compatible NLEs include Vegas Pro version 17 and above, and Resolve version 15 and above.

There are so many caveats and gotha's with some software that users need to look carefully before opening their wallets. Magix is no exception. If NewBlue works across varied NLE's, that's good news.

😊 be patient and torant. Your advice is not only well-founded here but all over in any case: follow the best resolution and the highest framerate in front to one's source materials!

The OP encircles himself with his "logical" illusion without taking few seconds to read VEGAS manual. That's the problem.

And for most questioners with their abundant "logic".

@Yelandkeil The manual does not cover all scenarios and there are instances where VP behaves in unanticipated ways. The whole point is to engage in a project without the program glitching-out. Re-encoding the project source files to conform is not bad practice. Neither is scrutinizing terms and conditions of third party products before purchase.

😌I'm also out. Thanks anyway.

@3POINT No need for that!

@Former user Hello, thanks for the suggestion. I tried Movie Edit Pro but cannot see the option to output into something like ProRes and PCM audio and to select the size and frame rate, manually. Those options are important. If it is there, kindly point it out. The TotalFX package is overwhelming, but it seems there are a lot of useful tools. Thank you for letting me know about that.
