Working with P2 Video
The following steps will guide you through the process of using P2 video in your Vegas Pro project.
1. Shoot your video with a P2 camera.
2. Start a new Vegas Pro project, and set your project properties to the format that most closely
matches your desired output format (or use the Match Media Video Settings button in the
Project Properties dialog to match an existing media file).
For more information, see "Setting Project Properties" on page 53.
3. Use the Device Explorer window to import your P2 files.
For more information, see "Using the Device Explorer" on page 105.
4. Drag your clips from the Project Media window to the timeline to create events.
5. Edit your project as needed.
If you're working on a system with limited processing power, converting to a lower-resolution
format will streamline the editing process and allow you to preview your project with higher
frame rates. This process is called proxy editing.
For more information, see "Creating Proxy Files for High-Definition Editing" on page 107.
6. Render your project to any supported rendering format.
If you want to render to P2 format and export the rendered file to a P2 camera, please use the following
steps:
1. Verify that your Vegas Pro project is set match your P2 file settings.
2. From the File menu, choose Render As.
3. In the Render As dialog, choose Panasonic P2 MXF in the Output Format box.
4. Use one of the following templates, or select a template and click the Customize Template button
to edit its settings.
If you use the Custom Template dialog to customize your rendering template, leave all settings at
their default values except for the Frame size control.
