Am I setting/rendering properly?

I shoot on a Canon T2i in 1080/24p. I have never used this program before.

*In the project I am working on now, I am shooting mostly 1080/24p, but there are some clips that I am filming in 720/60p for slow-motion.

Template: DV 1080-24p (1920x1080, 23.976 fps) *This I am not sure. I have some shots in slow-motion, so I should change it to; HDV 720-24p (1280x720, 23.976 fps) Correct??

Field Order: None
Pixel Ratio: 1.33 (HDV 1080)
Frame Rate: 23.976 (IVTC Film)
Pixel Rate: 8-bit
---------------------------------------------------------------------
RENDERING:
Save Type As: NO IDEA?!?!
Template: NO IDEA?!?!

*If I need to work in Custom setting, What do I do?


***I want to save a copy on my computer, and then burn onto a DVD in best quality possible.***

Thanks!

I wouldn't change the project to 720.

All you need to do is take the 60p footage and change the playback rate to .4. You can do this by right-clicking on it and going into Properties.

To be safe, in the same dialogue box, choose "disable resample."
 
Oh, wow. I knew that. I cant believe I messed it up. Thanks for letting me know, that would have messed me up bad.

I still don't understand the slow-motion part. I know how to shoot on camera, but what I don't understand is the size of the video. Slow-motion is filmed in 720p, while the rest is 1080p. Doesn't that mean I need to get the 1080p footage and make it smaller to 720p to match the size?

Do I still need to keep it at this;
Pixel Ratio: 1.33 (HDV 1080)

or keep it at;
1.00 (Square)

as it gives in the default settings.

It's a matter of quantity. If the majority of your video will be 1080p, then you leave the project properties to 1080p. If the majority is in 720p, consider using 720p.

> Do I still need to keep it at this;

In the tutorial I show how to get the right settings. If you follow it, you'd see that the pixel aspect ratio is also changing when Vegas detects the settings off of such a MOV video. So, for the record, it's 1.000.
