I am a wedding/event videographer and I am trying to setup Vegas pro 11 the best way, but I had a few questions, which options are the best:

Footage is shot using Sony FX7 in 16:9

Under properties

Has an NTSC DV 24p Widescreen (720x480, 23.976 fps)
and a NTSC DV Widescreen options, which option is the best to use for SD footage?

there is option for 6bit and 32 bit floating point (video levels) 32bit (full range) not sure which one is the best to use?

Has an Deinterlacing option of "None" "Blend Fields" "Interpolate Fields" not sure on that one either?

And PLEASE id there are ANY other options I should adjust let me know!

I am also dealing with editing a wedding shot in very low light, is there anything I can do to take away or at least lessen the grain?

Thanks for the help!!
Paul

First thing I did was to gauge where you're up to. Nice clean website and lots of work you've done! And secondly, it would help if you posted your specs?

Ok, understanding where you're at I'm going to respond to your question: if you want to reduce graining, use more lighting or cameras with better low light response. But as youre a member of WEVA, IoV, I'm guessing you knew that.

Once you've decided that none of the options above are available to you, and have gotten grain, try NeatVideo. I use it and it has been talked about much on the forum, oooh, for years?

Nice website. Straightforward and clean. Like it.

symetri,

I assume your question pertains to setting Sony Vegas Project Properties? If so, normally your best bet is to use the "Match Media Settings" Wizard. Here's a short tutorial to watch.
