Doremisoft Video Fast Convert Converts AVI/MXF/XAVC Footage to Sony Vegas

I want to edit an avi file in Sony Vegas 8.0. I currently have no audio (I previously didn't have video either, but Gspot told me which codec to DL).According to Gspot I have the correct audio codec (0x0055 MPEG-1 Layer 3) installed, but Vegas doesn't detect it. I've tried a lot of other things, but nothing's worked for me so far (resaving as AVI in Virtualdub for example). Can anyone see what I need to do? It's frustrating that I can't even edit AVI files, one of the commonest video files around.----Allen Smith

This is a typical question I came across on a forum. Why do I call it to be TYPICAL? Well, this is absolutely not a fresh problem since lots of Sony Vegas Pro users (Vegas 8/9/10/11) would have met the similar trouble from time to time. Sony Vegas Pro is excellent editing software allowing us to customize the videos in our own way.

Sadly, there are quite a few formats that Sony Vegas cannot recognize including the AVI from Toshiba Camileo camcorder, MXF from Canon xf300 and the latest XAVC from Sony Pmw-f5/f55.

So, is there any workable way to solve the problem of importing footage from Toshiba Camileo to Sony Vegas or import mxf from canon xf300 to sony vegas smoothly? Of course, the answer is positive. But first of all, we must find out the best way to convert either avi or mxf to be Sony Vegas—friendly format via a professional Video Converter developed by Doremisoft. With its professional and strong power, it can fast convert avi, mxf or xavc to Sony Vegas Pro in a simplest and quickest way. It would be as easy as eating a pie for us to edit xavc in sony vegas by relying on this Doremisoft xavc video converter for Mac as backup.
Can’t wait to see how to operate this great video converter? Well, I will show you step by step by taking the conversion from Toshiba avi to Sony Vegas as example in the following:
For preparation, download and install the video converter.
Step 1: After running the converter, click "Add File" button to import AVI videos from your PC into the program.

Step 2: Set the output format.
Since we want to edit the avi files on Vegas, we select "Applications->Sony Vegas" as the output format from the drop-down list by clicking the “Profile" menu.
Notes: In exactly the same way, you can transcode pmw-f55 to sony vegas for extension editing with time and effort saving.

Step 3: After the two steps, press the "Start" button to begin the conversion. After getting the converted files, you can carry out the editing freely in your own way.

How to convert Canon Legria AVCHD to iMovie/FCP for Personal Editing

Camcorders are playing a more and more important role in people's life, or we may say, they have become an indispensable part in our daily life, especially for the people who like making home videos. There are many brands of camcorders on the market. We can see Sony HDR series like Sony hdr xr150, Panasonic series, Canon series like canon legria, canon vixia, canon EOS and so on. We have to admit that all of these camcorders are doing a great job in shooting videos since they always give us videos in superb good quality. Of all these, I like Canon legria hf g10 most. Canon LEGRIA HF G10 is an excellent fashion high-end camcorder with a wealth of features. After reviewing the below main specs, you will find it really amazing. LCD screen size: 3.5 inch Digital Zoom: 200 x Optical Zoom: 10 x Sensor Resolution: 2.37 megapixels Video capture resolution: 1920 x 1080 Internal memory: 32000 MB Even though it is good at shooting video of high quality, it disappoints me sometimes.

 When I try to import the videos recorded to Mac for playback, the system would show me “ERROR”, which is to say, it is not possible for me to directly import canon legria g10 avchd to mac for playback. I was wondering if something was wrong with the camcorders, so I tried to use Sony hdr xr150, the problem was the same. Finally, I found out the reason. The videos shot by those camcorders (as mentioned in the first paragraph) are in AVCHD format, while unluckily, Mac is not compatible with the avchd mts/m2ts files. So, next time when you are about to transfer Sony hdr xr150 avchd to mac but it doesn't work, don't be surprised. Actually, the same problem exists when you try to import AVCHD videos into iMovie or Final Cut Pro for editing. For example, you may be blocked when you are trying to import Panasonic avchd to imovie or perhaps you will be frustrated after trying every effort in order to convert lumix avchd to imovie  for personal editing.
