Im using vegas pro 8 and im having a problem. I converted a quicktime video into an MP4 so i could use it in vegas. The video plays back but it is choppy. More like its skipping some of the frames or something. The video is in HD 1280x720x32 100.00fps progressive ( it says this info in vegas when i right click the video, go to properties, then under the media tab click on the stream tab and go to video 1, then the general tab.)
so my question is why is this happening and how can i fix it? im running xp home edition sp2, intel core 2 duo 2.33ghz, 2 gigs of ram and a gforce nvidia 8600gt 256mb ( just in case u you need extra info).

Jake,
There is nothing really to fix where that is concerned.
You are playing MP4 encoded 1280x720 HD media from the timeline...you
will experience few dropped frames during playback or choppiness as
you described.
By the way is that 100fps i am seeing in your post or is it a
mistake.

if there is nothing u can do to fix this, how do people edit their videos with these frames missing? at certain times i want to put in effects and i need specific times / postions on the film to do this.
100fps, yes. i was confused by that too but, thats what vegas says. but, my camera does 1080p 1280x720 @ 30fps per my camcorders manual. so i dont know what the deal with that is.

LOL....I've heard that statement so often Jake,
Its not hard as how you put it,what i can tell you is that over time
it becomes easier. As you do more and more work editing you
gradually understand how to time your workflow with whatever formats
you are working on and how to integrate effects, filters and transition with accurate timing on the timeline,and the various codecs, intermediate codecs and tools to use to get a more realtime playback.
However when you are venturing into the world of high resolution
editing, the first thing you got to do is get a very powerful and
resource rich computer. A little nifty resource in vegas when you
want to make sure your effects timing is right, is to preview render
a looped segment that you highlight to see if everything is timed nicely.

Just make sure that when you are rendering, the frame rate remains
the same as the source...and see if vegas still shows you this 100fps,
because otherwise that is strange.
