From what I know of RED workflow, you work on smaller proxy files, and
then with the final rendering, the hi-res versions are used. This makes
editing *much* faster, as we've just learned...
Here's some related info on FCP and proxy editing:

This is the way we used to work on AVID. Then we had a blissful 10
year interim period with FCP SD editing where you got to cut the
actual clips at original resolution, even if you were doing an online
afterwards. Guess it'll take a while again before the processing
power catches up

I owe you an apology. I thought your were actually attempting to edit MP4
files. Not just butt them up against each other and export them.
My bad.

Well, it turns out the solution has been under my nose the whole time!
My current editing software Ulead Video Studio Pro X2 *CAN* edit HD
without too many problems at all on my current (not high end)
hardware.
I found an option in the program preferences called Smart Proxy
which was caching(?)
Congratulations! This was a good experience for both of us I think. You don't
necessarily have to accept what others are telling you or you can use it as
information but keep looking for your own answer.
I wouldn't have changed Smart Proxy because I don't quite know what it means. I
assure you
Marvellous! Congrats. Glad you didn't listen to me and kept on
trying :) I know only too well how offputting unnecessary extra steps
are - it's one of the things that pushed me to start experimenting
with doing all the shooting, cutting posting in my phone. Something

YOU CAN edit MP4 files directly on ordinary hardware!
I can film my blog in HD 1280x720 30fps MP4 on my Xacti HD1010 and
copy the MP4 files directly to my drive and drop straight into the
timeline in VS Pro X2 and trim and edit without any conversion or
other messing around. Then just hit the
To render out in mp4 in Vegas you need to go to file, render as. Then in
the drop down box, select mainconcept.mp4 and this then should give you an
option for an Ipod version, if you select one of those and select the custom
tab to the right you can then tweak the setings to get the mp4 output

Amused as I am by you telling David H that he's off the mark, just as
he sounds like he's about to blow... (wait - 3, 2, 1, I think I can

He's actually right. MP4 - particularly H264 MP4 - are notoriously
bad to edit with. They *look*

can convert to any Mac and PC option so
Honestly, Google it online - in almost every type of editing, there's
some kind of preparation of clips. It seems like an insane waste of
time, I know - why can't the editing companies adapt their software so
we don't have to do this whole extra step, when it seems so close?
But at the

I use VoltaicHD on mac for my HD videos, as the camera stores them as .mts
files so I need to convert before editing. ( I couldn't get mpeg streamclip
to do this) works well. though yes, it takes time makes large files but
they convert down afterwards to smaller files. which is sometimes why I
Ok...listen...
You use MPEG Streamclip to convert your video BEFORE you begin editing it. NOT
after.
You use MPEG Streamclip to uncompress the MP4 files so that you can edit them.
You cant edit MP4 files. MP4 are highly compressed and if you try to edit them,
you're going to have problems.

This is an excellent point Michael, I think we all got really spoiled with how
easy it is to edit in DV/SD, etc. There are so many HD flavors out there
right now and you just need a ton of processing power to edit it, if you arn't
going to convert it first. It sucks but I think we are still
I think you are going to be stuck wity extra steps here...I just got a zi8, now
my computer is almost 4 years old now, but at the time I got it, it was
screaming, dedicated video card and everything. I wanted to edit video with
this machine for a while. And for standard def, it's awesome.
It's not always a question of your computer being able to handle the
HD video (especially if you've bought it in the last 3 years or so).
It's more a question of the codec not being designed to be edited.
