Sorry to bother you with a simple request, but I work alone and want to be sure I'm not about to create a problem for myself...
I am about to edit a 1-hour program shot on HDV tape using Vegas 9.0. I want to end up with a program that I can print from Vegas to HDV tape with the best possible visual quality.
Can someone please double check that I am using all the correct settings?
TO CAPTURE: Use the Vegas HDV capture utility. It is automatically set to capture M2t files at 1440x1080x12. I am capturing from a Sony HVR-M10U deck via firewire.
PROJECT PROPERTIES: Use template for HDV1080-60i, with default settings (1440x1080, pixel aspect 1.3333), except set the full resolution render quality to Best.
TO RENDER: When rendering either to use within the project or for print-to-tape, save as type Main Concept MPEG-2 and choose the template =HDV 1080-60i. This will render the file as an M2t with audio.
TO PRINT TO TAPE: Open: File/Print to HDV Tape. Select: Use Existing File. Choose file to print using browser. Record deck (Sony HVR-M10U) should be set as follows:
-Input switched to HDV (using the IEEE-1394 firewire input)
-VCR HDV/DV: Set to HDV
-i-link Convert: Set to Off
Please let me know if these setting are correct. Thanks for looking over my shoulder before I begin. Any suggestions are appreciated!
