I just upgraded my computer to an intel core 2 dual, 2.66 gh and I have 2 gig of ram to make it faster for editing high def.
When I was trying to edit my AVCHD video using non-proxy and I add music to the timeline the video and audio gets very jerky/distorted.
Is this normal? I am using VS 11 plus. I'm not too experienced with editing, I've done a few SD videos but this is my first editing AVHCD.
Video 11 Plus - Question about AVCHD editing
Moderator: Ken Berry
My goal is to create edited AVCHD discs. I tried to edit my video clips without the proxy, the video without any titles or music plays back fine but when I add anything to it, it becomes jerky so it would be hard to edit and preview the work.
I tried it with proxy and it works fine, it does take a long time like you mentioned.
Do you think if I upgrade my CPU and/or RAM it would make a difference? I just bought the Core2 Duo E6750, 2.66 GHz, now I'm thinking I should have bought the Quad instead. My RAM is 2gig

I'm using a Q6600 quad running at 2.4Ghz. It also stutters but I make due with it on the timeline. I just wish that VS would allow better control over proxies and creating them.
If your making AVCHD disks I've found to perform all my editing as necessary on the timeline & save the project. Then go into the "Share -> Create Disk -> AVCHD".
The project file is then carried over into this burning module. Use the GEAR Icon -> Change Mpeg Settings -> Customize to change the project settings to match your source videos as close as possible. Yours should be Upper Field First. Under Preferences assign a "Working Folder".
Many of my AVCHD videos are encoded at Variable Bit Rate 18000kbs (18MBS) with Dolby 5.1@448kbs. They look pretty good. If your source videos say 16000 max as their properties then in VS use Variable Bit Rate 18000kbs UpperFieldFirst.
Make note that whatever encoder settings you assign as the Project Settings for the burning module will be the settings that VS will use to encode the video (not the project settings on the timeline). The timeline and burning module are like 2 different programs but still linked.
After you make chapters & menus I would hit the "Close" button before step 3 (the burning phase) so VS exits the burn module and saves the project (I usually perform another save anyway). Then go back into the Burn module, step through and burn the avchd disk. This way if something does go wrong you don't have to re-create the chapters & menus again because the project was previously saved.
After VS burns the disk it will leave a copy of the new avc/h264 files in one of the temp folders that resides under the assigned "Working Folder" that you assigned for the burning module. You can also use the "Import from DVD/-VR avchd disk function to import the videos back to your harddisk. You can re-use them in another burning project without re-coding them because they are already compliant. VS will just pass them through the encoder to the disk.
Unlike the usual suggested workflow for creating dvd's (going into the burning module with an empty timeline), when making AVCHD disks it's my opinion that the burning module seems to perform better conversions of the edited avc/h264 videos rather than exporting the avc/h264 videos from the timeline using either the avchd template or the mpeg optimizer. So when I use VS11+ to work with avchd disks I bring the project file into the burning module and let VS11+ perform conversions in the burning module (instead of exporting or converting from the timeline to the harddisk).
