Tips: If you don’t want to convert all clips in their entirety, create regions to indicate the portions of the captured HDV clips that you want to convert to an intermediate format, and then the Batch Render script to render the regions to the desired format.

Remember that Vegas software supports multiple instances. You can use one instance of the application to render your intermediate files while you continue editing in another instance. Use network rendering to queue multiple render jobs.

Using DVD Architect software, you can create a DVD that contains an SD version of your project and place an HD Windows Media version in the Extras folder on the disk. When you browse to the Extras folder via Windows Explorer, you can play the HD version and output it to your computer's display, a home theater, or a projector.

Replacing intermediate files with HDV source for HD delivery

If you’re planning to render to a format that supports high-definition video or print to an HD tape via a Blackmagic Design Decklink™ card, replace your HDV intermediate file with the original transport stream after you’re finished editing and before you render.

Note: If your intermediate files were rendered using the CineForm HD codec, you won't need to replace the intermediate files with the transport streams.

1.Right-click the HDV intermediate file in the Project Media window.

2.Choose Replace from the shortcut menu.

3.Browse to the MPEG-2 transport stream that corresponds to the intermediate file, and then click Open.
