Here's a problem that I hope you can help me with. I am new to HD video editing, but have been editing SD video for many years using packages such as AVID & Premiere.
I recently purchased a Panasonic HD camcorder with a view to branching out into Blu-Ray authoring. After searching the market and downloading many demos, I decided to purchase Sony Vegas.
My problem is as follows.....
I am shooting in full HD (1980x1080 PAL 25 fps. Interlaced, upper field 1st, AVC codec). I am able to burn the raw files direct to Blu-Ray via Sony DVD Architect. When I do this, there is no issue with the interlace, and the pictures are crystal sharp when viewed through my HD TV. However, the problems begin when I try to edit the footage with Vegas.
It seems that no matter how I try to alter the settings, whenever I try to render a file from Vegas and burn it to Blur-Ray, the picture "ghosts". When items on the screen move horizontally, there is a ghosting of the previous frame. I have tried rendering this as "progressive", but am unable to burn this Blu-Ray as 1080 25fps progressive is not part of the blu ray standard. I have tried authoring it as "Uper field first" (the same order as the raw footage from my camcorder), but still the ghosting occurs.
Can anyone suggest a solution to this problem? I've invested a lot of time and money on this, and cannot afford for it not to succeed. I bought the camera especially to take on my noneymoon, and have promised my wife an edited Blu-Ray of our trip. Please help me guys!!
