System information
Notes:
n Select the Allow pulldown removal when opening 24p DV check box on the General tab of the
Preferences dialog if you want to remove pulldown when you open 24 fps progressive-scan DV
video files. When the check box is cleared, 24p video will be read and edited as 29.97 fps
interlaced video (60i). For more information, see "Preferences - General Tab" on page 576.
n Select the Import audio at project tempo check box on the Audio tab of the Preferences
dialog if you want ACID loops to be stretched to match the project tempo (specified on the
Ruler tab of the Project Properties dialog) when you add them to the timeline or preview from
the Explorer window. Clear the Import at project tempo check box if you want to ignore
tempo information. For more information, see "Preferences - Audio Tab" on page 593 and
"Setting Project Properties" on page 53.
n When you add a multichannel audio file (.wav/.wav64, .avi, .mxf, ATRAC, and BWF) to your
project, the audio is added across tracks. For example, if you import a four-channel WAV file,
the audio will be added to four adjacent tracks. For control over which channels are used by
each event, right-click a multichannel audio event, choose Channels from the shortcut menu,
and choose a command from the submenu. For more information, see "Audio Channels" on
page 177.
n When you add a multistream audio file to your project, you can choose which stream you
want to use by right-clicking the event, choosing Stream from the shortcut menu, and then
choosing a stream from the submenu.
n 5.1-channel audio from DVD camcorders will be downmixed to stereo when importing into a
stereo project. When importing into a 5.1 surround project, audio will be added to separate
tracks for the center, front, rear, and LFE channels.
n If Vegas Pro cannot read frames in a video event, they will be displayed in red in the timeline
(those frames will be black in the Video Preview window and the rendered output):
n If you want to use RAW camera files in your project, the Microsoft Camera Codec Pack will
allow you to view RAW camera files and add them to the timeline.
n The first time you add video media to the timeline, Vegas Pro will ask you whether you want to
match your project video settings to match the first video media you add to the timeline.
If you choose a Vegas Pro project (.veg) file, Vegas Pro will match the settings of the
project, not the media within the project.
