Handbrake to Vegas Pro 18

wiel-gulpen wrote on 9/30/2024, 6:09 AM

My Vegas Pro 18 doesn't like the 4k/25P HEIF/HEVC footage from my Iphone 15. I know that HEIF/HEVC is not the smartest choice en I should have chosen H264 in the settings of the camera-app. (Next time I will do that.) Vegas Pro 18 recognizes the audio-part but not the video part. Now I use Handbrake and now Vegas Pro can read also the video-part of the converted footage. I am not a pro in Handbrake. So I don't kmow which settings should be optimized. See the screenshot.

Which settings do I have to change to get the best result?

Greetings,

Wiel

Your screen shot says your source is DolbyVision.

Unfortunately, DolbyVision is a proprietary format for which neither Vegas nor Handbrake holds license to decode the dynamic color metadata stream.

That said, if you can live with the color swings from blue to yellow, which are sometimes dramatic, I don't see anything else remarkable about your Filters Settings in Handbrake.

According to the internet, nonlinear editors that support decoding DolbyVision include Final Cut Pro, Luma Fusion, iMovie (all Apple products), and the paid version of DaVinci Resolve.

Please share a sample file for the curious among us. Upload to a cloud share site and post the link here.

Hi John,

I don't use a cloud share site.

To make it more worse, I even don't know how to set this up.

If you open a free Microsoft or Google account, you'll have a certain amount of disk space on their systems as OneDrive or Google Drive. Apple has iCloud if you have any iDevices. There are other sites like Dropbox etc.

Type OneDrive into the search box on any Windows 10 or 11 PC to find the OneDrive application...

@john_dennis I wouldn't use Microsoft Onedrive. Nowadays, when you enable Onedrive, Microsoft tries to hijack your file system, and before you know it, all your priviate information in Documents, Video, Music, Downloads, etc. ends up in the cloud.

Intel Core i7 10700K CPU @ 3.80GHz (to 4.65GHz), NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER 8GBytes. Memory 32 GBytes DDR4. Also Intel UHD Graphics 630. Mainboard: Dell Inc. PCI-Express 3.0 (8.0 GT/s) Comet Lake. Bench CPU Multi Thread: 5500.5 per CPU-Z.

@Robert Johnston I don't use OneDrive for sharing files. It's one of the first things that I disable when I install a new system. I also don't feel the need to have Lightroom or any other application sync my files to any cloud drive either since I don't "collaborate" with anyone in my "work". In fact, I don't "work".

Now, the larger question. Once a file leaves your local area network, "Is it already stolen since it resides on someone else's server?"

I also don't have a doorbell camera that uploads files to Google, Amazon or any other cloud-enabler, money grubbing, file-stealin', income redistributing... stop me. No. Stop me. Please!

The locations of files that get sync'd to OneDrive are configurable. It's possible that Microsoft could override your preferences with a Windows Update.
