So it looks like DVFilm.com announced a new version of Raylight. www.dvfilm.com the question is ... will Ultra be Vista 64 bit compatible? Please say yes, somebody.

hvx200, Vegas 8, Raylight, Redrock Micro, and some used and abused Nikon primes.

What else is new in Ultra?

The first release will not work with Vegas 8.1 because Sony just released the
plugin development kit for 8.1 a few weeks ago.

The improvements in Ultra are many but to mention a few:

1) faster "Blue" mode about as fast as the old green or yellow modes
and so no need to switch modes during editing.

2) all 4 audio tracks (optionally) importable with the video into Vegas

3) metadata "Slates" allow you to view the P2 metadata on frame 1 or 2,
also some of the metadata are available in the Vegas clip properties
and media manager.

A free update for Ultra later this year will add the 64-bit support and also AVC-Intra
native editing.
 
4 audio tracks sounds great.

I get a pop-up warning that Raylight will expire soon (I wasn't aware that it could expire, to be honest). When will it expire, and will it expire suddenly (leaving me no means to finish current projects)?
 
Wow... blue as fast as green/yellow? I suppose a little faster than green but a little slower than yellow then? $50 isn't that bad.

I guess it would help me with forgetting to switch from green to blue for rendering... the thing is that I forget cause Green looks just like Blue. :) which also makes the update sort of unnecessary, but it can't hurt.

I would be 100% sold if I got more speed in Green Mode... anything to help me edit 1080p as close to real time as possible.

how?

Up to 4 audio tracks are importable into Vegas. If you import a file with the “Import Tracks 1&2” option, and later decide you need tracks 3&4 instead, or all 4 tracks, then change the option in the Raylight configuration panel, and then remove the clip from the timeline and drag it back in from the media pool. If you had different in- and out- points selected you may need to re-trim the clip. If you are editing a project where Tracks 1&2 are not used solely and consistently, you may need to use the “Import All 4 Tracks” option and delete unwanted tracks after dragging them into the timeline. Changing between the track import options in the middle of a project may cause unexpected results.

Hey everyone.

I will be filming a short within a few months and I am almost positive that it will be filmed using the hvx100 in hd.

now....

I have vegas 6 and i run it on a pc with a 64bit XP os......

so... after extensive searching throughout the forums ... i have come to learn about raylight and that it apparently works fine with vegas 8 for vista 64 ......

so ... my question is.... do i absolutely have to upgrade to vegas 8 to get this to work correctly? has anyone been in the same situation? is cineform the answer?

is there any way around this? :crybaby:


thanks....

I am using Vegas 7 with Raylight, with no issues. I am not sure if Vegas 6 will work, but it might... drop them an e-mail at dvfilm.com

http://dvfilm.com/supportForm.htm
 
and by the way.... is it absolutely necessary to use something like raylight when working with footage that is in avchd? or is it only necessary when working with dvcpro hd?
 
But it would be a sweet idea! :thumbup:

The Raylight guys might be the ones to work up some magic to make AVC-HD drop in, etc... is that something you guys might consider? Especially if higher bit rate AVC-HD comes out on other cameras.

Is there enough of a market for that?
 
so does that mean id be able to drop avchd footage from the hmc150 straight into Sony Vegas without having to worry about anything (quality loss)? or do i have to do something first.... for example....

when people shoot with an HVX they have to use raylight in order to edit in Vegas.....

???
 
It would, if they made it... but nobody has and it doesn't seem extremely likely anyone will... it would be great if the Raylight guys did it though and I thought that if no NLEs planned on making ACV-HD native, then there could be a market for them.

For the HVX and Vegas, yes... that is what 99% do... I imagine some might still be converting the footage using somethjing else... but Raylight is fast, easy and very affordable. It also flips the image if you shoot with an adapter with no flip. And it works perfect. The quality is lossless.
 
I am sure that is in the support page on their website dvfilm.com
I took a look but couldn't find it right away
