What are my options if I don't have enough space and time to render a totally uncompressed video?

What settings should I use to have a high quality source file to feed into the program, but still have it be a reasonable render time. Because I'm pretty sure the bottleneck on that first rendering process is just disc write speed.

@Poki3 Check out the other comments on this video. Most people are saying MPEG 2 with various codecs, or AVCHD, or various Blu-ray formats.

So why wouldn't you directly render it compressed? Aren't you basically taking an unnecessary detour?

[montagical]

@5THunderlord Because Vegas doesn't have an option to render with the h.264 codec.

@montagical

It does under the MP4 section, I haven't used Vegas in years and it had it back then too :P

@justanotheraccount If you could send me a screenshot of it, I'd gladly believe you... I don't have it on my copy, though. Though, I seem to recall, at a time, I did.

I use Easy.h264 since few years now, but the quality is not perfect and the video is not as smooth as the original file ( the AVI file ), too bad, I'm searching how to have a ultra smooth ( fluid ) video but I can't find anything...

[ericsimaginaryfriend]

Why do you have so many awesome wallpapers? Are they on a slideshow or do you just change them from video to video?

[5THunderlord]

@montagical I haven't opened the program in months, but aren't there plug-ins for that? Or even file formates with equal or better performance? I like mpeg layer 4.

I just use AMD Video Converter if I need to. If you have an ATi/AMD video card - its a whole lot faster due to OpenCL/GPU acceleration and supports H.264...depending on the quality setting (say 10Mbps for YouTube, 1080p), the file size isn't that big.

Other than that, Pro 10 and 11 has H.264 integrated...I'm sure Pro 8 did/does as well.

If you're already familiar with Vegas then the transition to Premiere wont be too difficult. There's new tools to get used to as well as the three point editing system but you should be fine anyway. I'd recommend just experimenting and googling any problems you come across.

Lynda.com is great but costs money, I'd recommend checking out YouTube videos otherwise.

@justanotheraccount I've been trying to get used to Premoiere Pro, can you recommend any resources for learning?

i used to use Vegas, but then I started using Primere.. its a million times better in quality... it kinda sux the audio and video transitions, but you jjust have to get used to it..
