Sony Vegas and Media Studio Yep, I know they're not related, but they both fall in the Premiere Alternative bracket in my humble opinion! Post here for Ulead Media Studio or Vegas video problems or pointers...

Default Best Way to Edit HD

I finally figured out how to capture HD onton my hardrive with vegas. When I dragged it into vegas it would play but very slow and stuttered a lot. When I tried to play it just in a media player the computer basically stalled up and a major error accured it said. I was wondering how I am going to get HD quality but be able to edit it normally with out the skipping and why does my computer stall up when I try to play HD?

Unfortunately a celeron is not fast enough to do HD editing, or even playing as you have found.

Mark is right - your only hope is to downgrade from HD to DV but even then a celeron will struggle

That sucks... So what do I need to edit HD? I have a Pentium 4 downstairs or am I going to have to get something special? I might just wait until school next year to edit the footage. Was an HD camera a wrong thing to buy? Thanks for the help guys.

A Pentium 4 3.0Ghz with hyperthreading I believe is the recommended minimum for HD playback.
