Can anyone esplain about gh2 using 60I wrappper for 24p? And how do I reverse telecine with sony vegas? Are my project property 24p or 60i?
 
GH2 shoots native 24p ; no need to inverse telecine . Project settings should match (23.976 progressive)

Unless that was a typo and you meant GH1 ?
 
So gh1 is 24p inside 60I wrapping? But gh2 is pure 24p?
Btw raw file is smooth in vegas i7. No jerking it. Smooth like grease. You could laugh on it.
 
My quad-core chokes on AVCHD, using Vegas 8. AVCHD sucks as an editing format...don't even try it unless you're just a glutton for punishment. :D

Cineform Neoscene is only $129...money WELL spent...my GH1's would be useless without it!! http://www.cineform.com/neoscene/

Vegas cuts through Cineform AVI like warm butter, with minimal computer resources.
 
Hi swyzlestyx, try to use vegas 10, it optimized for avchd. So far work smoth on timline. Cf is nice but add extra step to workflow and make big file. Not bad!
 
Thanks guys for the info. I am also using Vegas 8 (mainly because my copy of Magic Bullet won't work with Vegas 9 and up). I will consider picking up a copy of Cineform.

How about the higher bitrate Motion JPEG files produced by the GH13? Easier to edit than AVCHD? Any place we can download raw files to sample?
 
Yes, Vegas Pro 10 has been optimized for AVCHD and other H264 variants (e.g. from Canon's DSLRs). My aged dual core PC (Intel E6300) can play through these files at full frame rate. The trimmer is another matter though, it's pretty chunky. I'm building a new system though (i5 2500K), which will hopefully make for a smoother workflow. Anyone have experience with i5/i7 in the trimmer? Good times? Fast forward and rewind smooth?

I considered Cineform, since it can be had for only $90 (at Videoguys w/$10 coupon code "REGTEN"), but I decided against it because of the increased file size and transcoding time.

Hopefully the faster computer does the trick.
 
Use GH1 for 30p/60p. Use GH2 for 24p. Why pay for Cineform?

A sum of GH13 resale value + Cinceform retail price is getting close to GH2 new body price.
 
I'm a little late to the party but have a question...are your AVCHD files on an external hard drive connected via firewire or USB 2.0?
I am on a quad core witrh 4 megs of ram, running Vegas 10.0e and all AVCHD files are on a HD connected via USB. Playback is very stuttery and I've been told to move to an esata raid which should make life easier. It's a bit confusing as some people here have no issues and others do, all things being somewhat equal.
Any thoughts would be apprecaited.
 
External USB drives are too slow. Your files need to at least be on an INTERNAL hard disk if you want to work directly with AVCHD files. Esata raid would be better too.

For those who have not bought a good editing program yet - GRASS VALLEY EDIUS can handle AVCHD files with no problem on a decent PC.
