> Will Production Assistant allow me to batch process files to *.XMF?

Hi Chad, Yes. Vegas Pro Production Assistant will allow you to batch process any files that Vegas supports. As long as Vegas Pro can handle the file, you can set up a batch process to do the same.

Okay, I need a little help in the work flow for batch processing the files. I'm over looking something, because I still have not figured out a way to batch process "x" number of files. Set it up and a walk away.

What is a suggested work flow?

Thanks,

Chad

From within Vegas you load all of your files on the Source Media tab, select any processing on the Processing tab, and choose a render template on the Target Output tab and press Process. That's pretty much all you have to do.

If you are starting with the launch tool outside of Vegas that could be your problem. The launch tool is to quickly create a single project automatically. Batch processing is done while inside of Vegas already.

You might want to watch the free training. The QuickStart shows you the basics. Here is the whole training series:

JR,

I appreciate the direction. It's what I was needing.

Thanks,

Chad, was wondering why you wanted to use VPPA for batching Cineform? It has a batch process as part of the conversion. Or did you need additional functionality? Since I use Cineform I'd love to know if there's additional ways of using it that I'm not aware of. I assume you are creating a workflow that grabs the .MOVs, and converts them as part of a larger workflow?

I just recently bought the Canon T2i (550d) and just posted some converted MOV file samples,done with Vegas. As you can see from them, there is virtually no difference between the MOV files and the processed Cineform AVIs. The third example is actually a split screen and the change is unrecognizable. I'm going back to try and better understand what I'm gaining in processing power by doing the conversions.
