Re: Transcoding 7D Video for Vegas 9.0 PC

Joseph,

You do NOT have to transcode 7D captures to edit using Sony Vegas app. Just make sure that you have installed the latest Apple QuickTime codec installed in your PC. Most desired (or popular) Windows editing programs will take whatever given to them (i.e. if you have installed the proper codec) and compile an edit without much of a hassle.

You may already know this. If you do not have a dedicated editing card such as Grass Valley (or Canopus) Storm, HD Spark, Edius, Matrox, Avid etc., etc, you have to software render all effects, graphics and titles etc. Often it is frustrating to watch the video stream stuttering while in timeline playback mode.

And if you do not own or have access to an above mentioned dedicated editing hardware, here is a tip many tend to neglect.

If possible, move alternate clips to two separate hard drives in your computer. This helps when you playback the entire timeline and things will go much smoother.
