Just got 'em in from the DVInfo site. I wanted to view these on V7b. This "format" is the one I'm reading of of the Props Menu.

Largest one is 51 seconds.

Great stuff, I wanted to cut and view the trannie. Nothing special. So far I'm struggling.

These were the files that were created by our friend using the Canon G1.

Putting wine down Douglas, putting wine down . .

Anyways, I wish I could up this frame rate.

My shorthand - "Non prog scan" = NONE (progressive scan) - this from the Media Properties Menu.

NOT interlaced . . Noooo....

Yes, I get the frame rate on straight unedited files. But a simple Split and Push dissolve gets me . . er . . less than 1 frame a second? Is this correct?

TIA

Something isn't optimized properly in your computer. Project properties set to HDV? There is no 24p template for HDV in Vegas, as there is no reader for 24p HDV files at this time in Vegas (or most any other NLE)
Are you looking at the JVC footage? Or the V1U footage I uploaded?

Project properties set to HDV?
Well the one I saw which was closest FROM the Media Props was this: HD 1080-24p 1920x1080, 23.976 fps)

And the files were from here - using the Canon G1.

What AM I doing wrong!?!?

Ah! Twit! . . I had downloaded some 24Canon stuff FROM the site and had mixed this IN with 1080/60i.

I have NOW repeated my TRANNIE experiment with ONLY the 1080/60i footage and setting the Proj Properties to this HDV 1080/60i:-

Frame rate? = 12fps. ADD a Brightness FX = 10fps.

Can these framerates be bettered on my setup?

TIA

That seems a little slow...project parameters set to HDV/1080 60i?
Preview set to Preview/Auto?

I'm getting full framerate at those settings on the same Canon footage you referenced. Those are all 60i clips, so far as I've seen.
haven't tried the Brightness FX, frankly, that's one that's never once been used on any project we do. I don't know how optimized that one is. Curves is a better means of achieving brightness, and it's very optimized.

Thanks Douglas. And NO I don't use brightness as an ongoing option : CC and CCurves for me. It was just the quickest to hand - nope I don't use it in my work either. You were just checking, huh?

Anyways now substituted Colour Curve; improved the look and still down around 10<>11 fps on the OVERLAP. The rest, the colour curves IS hitting 29.97 - it is the split with the overlap to the next 1080/60i that drops off. This is a split of the SAME footage but now overlapped. Same footage that has the Colour Curve FX.

Grazie, something I discovered today relating HDV m2t playback. I noticed that some of my footage would play back at 29.970 Good/Auto, even some with Best/Full to external monitor. Some clips would play back much less. It has to do with amount of movement in the video. Clips with flowers gently blowing in the wind play back full speed, while footage with lots of movement/panning drops the fps. So take that into consideration.

Also, my external preview with V7 preview window off is much faster than with V7 preview on or viewing on preview window only. Like I said, some of my clips play back to external only at 29.970 Best/Full. Best/Auto was slower???
