We couldn’t find an option to copy the footage, but even if there was one, such an option should be on by default when dealing with a camera’s media. There have been improvements: you can now get a one frame thumbnail preview of a selected clip, but the import process still merely links to the file on the camcorder, and doesn’t copy it to your project. We regret to say that we still had problems two revisions later.

Last time we took a look at Vegas Movie Studio, we encountered issues with importing media from an AVCHD camcorder. Importing media is an easy matter of finding the files you wish to use on your hard drive. HD is still pretty much the default, so this limitation shouldn’t hamper your creativity. When creating a new project, you need to specify its resolution - owners of Premium or above can select up to 4K, while the cheapest version of this video editor can only go up to HD. Start a project by selecting its resolution - you can work up to 4K (Image credit: MAGIX) Getting started
