Expert Advise: Tips and Tricks

Working with your HDSLR footage in Vegas Pro 10
by Gary Rebholz

Files from the Sony Alpha NEX-5 work more efficiently in Vegas Pro 10 Vegas Pro 10 software has been released for less than a month and already the improved support for your HDSLR footage is making big waves throughout the user community. There are a few things to keep in mind to get the most out of this type of footage though, so in this article, we'll take a look at the HDSLR workflow.

For the most part, you use the exact same techniques to work with files from your HDSLR as you do any other footage that you add to your Vegas Pro timeline. There are no specific HDSLR-only editing techniques that you need to learn, so if you already edit other types of footage with Vegas Pro software, use the same techniques for your HDSLR footage.

Before you start editing, however, you'll naturally have to get to the footage you shot. When you transfer your footage from your camera's memory card to your computer drive, keep in mind that HDSLR footage isn't the most efficiently editable format on the planet; it requires a lot from your PC and disc drive. For that reason, store your source footage on your local hard drive instead on a network server. Trying to pull the footage down from a server—particularly one that lots of other people are hitting for a variety of reasons—is a great way to cause yourself undo frustration as you preview your project and experience low frame-rate playback.
