Setting

Description

Use ruler time

Adds each imported file to the Vegas timeline at the exact position indicated by its

 

timestamp. For example, if you import a BWF file with a timestamp of 00:00:30;00,

 

the media would be added to the timeline at the thirty-second mark on the ruler.

Relative to cursor

Adds each imported file to the Vegas timeline and offsets the timestamp value by the

 

cursor position. For example, if you position the cursor at 00:00:10;00 before

 

importing a BWF file with a timestamp of 00:00:30;00, the media would be added to

 

the timeline at the forty-second mark on the ruler.

Importing video from a DVD camcorder

You can use Vegas software to import video from a finalized Sony® DVD Handycam® camcorder disc.

Note: Before importing video, you’ll need to finalize the disc. For information about finalizing a disc, please refer to your camcorder’s documentation.

Important: 5.1-channel audio will be downmixed to stereo when importing.

Tip: The Sony Handycam USB driver that is included with DVD-based camcorders can prevent Vegas from recognizing a USB-connected camera. If you use the Add/Remove Programs Control Panel to uninstall the “Sony DVD Handycam USB driver” component, Vegas will be able connect to the camera and import video.

2.From the Source drop-down list, choose the disc that contains the video you want to import.

3.The Destination box displays the folder where the video will be imported. Click the Browse button if you want to choose a different folder.

4.Click the OK button to start importing video.

After importing is complete, the video from the disc is added to the Project Media window. Each chapter is imported as a separate file. You can then add the imported video to your project just like any other media file.
