System information

If you want to render to AVCHD format and export the rendered file to an AVCHD camera, please use the
following steps:
1. Verify that your Vegas Pro project is set to 5.1 surround mode.
For more information, see "5.1 surround projects" on page 433.
2. From the File menu, choose Render As.
3. In the Render As dialog, choose Sony AVC/MVC in the Output Format box.
4. Use one of the following templates:
n AVCHD 1440x1080 NTSC 5.1 Surround
n AVCHD 1920x1080 NTSC 5.1 Surround
n AVCHD 1440x1080 PAL 5.1 Surround
n AVCHD 1920x1080 PAL 5.1 Surround
5. If you choose to use the Custom Template dialog to customize your rendering template, leave all
settings at their default values except for the Bit rate control. The default Bit rate setting should
work for most applications.
6. To save the rendered file to your camera, you'll need to use the software that was supplied with your
camera.
