System information
5. Use the Output File controls to choose where the files will be rendered. The P2 file format has strict
file-naming requirements, so when you render P2 files, you choose an output folder rather than
rendered file names.
Click the Browse button to choose where you want to render:
n To render to a P2 camera that's connected to your computer, choose the CONTENTS folder
on the camera's memory card.
n To render to a folder on your computer, choose a folder. If a P2-format CONTENTSfolder
exists in the selected folder, Vegas Pro will use the existing folder structure. If no P2-format
CONTENTSfolder exists, Vegas Pro will create all necessary files and folders.
File names are automatically incremented when you render. For example, if the highest-
numbered clip in the selected render folder is ..\CONTENTS\VIDEO\00036R.mxf, the next
file you render to that folder will be created as ..\CONTENTS\VIDEO\0004xx.mxf.
File naming is an important part of the P2 file specification. Do not change the file
names in a P2 CONTENTSfolder.
Exporting a Movie to a PSP™
Do you want to be able to fit your movie in the palm of your hand?
Choose File >Export>PSP™ (PlayStation®Portable) to convert your project to Sony AVC (*.mp4) format
and transfer it to a USB-connected PSP™ system.
Notes:
n PSP™ firmware version 2.0 or later is required to use this feature. To check your firmware
version, choose Settings > System Settings > System Information on the PSP™ system. For
the latest firmware, go to http://us.playstation.com (in the United States) or
http://www.playstation.com (outside the United States).
n Full-screen and high-bit-rate rendering templates require the latest PSP™ firmware for
playback.
n If you're using high-resolution video, choose Best from the Full-resolution rendering quality
drop-down list on the Video tab of the Project Properties dialog before exporting your movie to
prevent resizing artifacts. For more information, see "Setting Project Properties" on page 53.
1. Click in the timeline to position your cursor on the frame you want to use to represent your movie.

2. Connect the USB cable and AC adapter to the PSP™ system and place it in USB mode.
3. Choose File >Export>PSP™ (PlayStation®Portable). The Export to PSP™ (PlayStation®Portable)
dialog is displayed.
If you want to render an AVC video without transferring to a PSP™, use the Render As dialog
and choose Sony AVC (*.mp4) in the Output Format box. For more information, see "Rendering
Projects (Render As)" on page 515.
