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).

3. Use the Device Explorer window to import your P2 files.

4. Drag your clips from the Project Media window to the timeline to create events.

5. Edit your project as needed.

   TIP

   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.

6. Render your project to any supported rendering format.
