Output Edius to Vegas?

Hey all,

Just recently purchased HVX200. I've written my screenplay, finished casting, and begining to scout locations. Thinking about editing and...

It seems from what I've read so far here are my options:

P2 footage-->Convert to Quicktime-->FCP timeline (ugh need to buy mac, but realtime previews)

P2 footage-->Raylight-->Vegas (ugh slow, no real time previews)

P2 footage-->Cineform-->Vegas (ugh still slow, no real time)

P2 footage-->Serious Magic-->Vegas (ugh still slow, no real time)

P2 footage-->Avid (ugh Avid is expensive, and hella hard to use)

P2 footage-->Edius (workflow kills!, ugh expensive & subpar editing capability, and doesn't have a lot of filter/plug-in support if any)

So I had this ridiculous idea, and please go easy on me cuz I'm a noob:

My friend has the full Vegas suite on his machine, so..... I go out and get Edius, import all my footage, and then export it out to Vegas? Then edit it in Vegas?

Is that even possible?

What would I export it out of Edius as?

Would it still play/preview hella slow in Vegas after I export it out of Edius?

I know using two full blown editing suites isn't very cost effective and an option for most, but in my case I can get access to both, so is it workable?

Feedback and knowledge is welcome!
 
I'm not sure what the advantage of simply capturing in EDIUS and taking it to Vegas would be compared to going through Raylight or Cineform and then in to Vegas...

Assuming the Canopus HQ codec AVIs are accessible in Vegas to begin with, I doubt you'd see much improvement compared to Raylight or Cineform. In fact, it might even be worse since the HQ codec files, while easier to decompress, are significantly larger data-wise.

That said I'm sure there are some folks with both that will lend their wisdom here, or perhaps in the Canopus forum...

To add a bit further, what I often see is folks doing things in Vegas, then taking that to EDIUS. The other direction happens mostly for audio-centric operations.

Broadcast 4 supports vst plug ins. There are some nice audio effects out there it'll use.
