D5000

I left the subject as just plain out d5000 because there are so many discussions that I would love to have about this camera that I can't decide which one to start off on.

I guess I'll start with the most required one by me right now :)

I have an HVX200A that I love with all my heart (and my wife knows that)
but!
I find my self (like yesterday during a music video shoot) using the D5000 to get quick sick shots that would take a little more with the HVX and the M2E.

So! Here's my main issue right now: Editing
The hvx footage goes into Premiere, no problem.
The .avi in the other hand, :-Cry(DBG): issues.

So, with that said, does anyone have a solution or the best workflow using d5000 footage?
Which indeed! I got some sick shots on with some great exposure and tones, but I need this footage to be friendly to me.

Also, If I drop it in Vegas, it gives me a pop-up that states I need to buy some weird codec. I'm not sure that's going to help. I mean really... I have Premiere Pro CS4 and Vegas Pro9 on the same machine and quicktime pro, I haven't been missing any codecs before?
This is the popup:

Can anyone chime in?

Thanks,

side note for the mods:
Mods, I was looking for the D5000 right under the D90 on the main page but... :)
would be nice to have one :lipsrseal just saying.... :laugh:
 
Haha mods should move this to the D90 forum, and rename the D90 forum to Nikon DSLRs or Nikon D-MOVIE MODE (as the workflow and quality is quite consistant between D90/D5000/D300S/D3s)

Try uninstalling morgan-multimedia codec pack from your computer? I can run the .AVI (motion jpeg) videos fine in Premiere without any codec installs. The free Motion JPEG Codec 3.2.4 codec works fine for me, although people have had steller results and more options (like deblocking) from PICVIDEO M-JPEG too http://www.accusoft.com/picvideomjpeg.htm
 
yeah I was thinking of removing that codec because if I remember correctly I only had to use it one time for this one project in vegas a little while ago and it's been so long that I can't even remember which project it was.

I'll try that and see how it works and repost, thanks.
 
I have spent the whole day long doing all kinds of conversions and nothing works. I removed that morgan codec and the files import into Premiere well but only the audio plays and the image stands still.

I'll have to keep experimenting and researching for the next few days.:Drogar-Smoke(DBG):

Here are 2 very short clips from the d5000:

hope you likes!

Thanks to "qrk" which is someone I found online, I'm able to edit all the clips from the d5000 perfectly in vegas.

Nikon does something weird with the headers in mjpeg .avi files, thus the video portion won't appear in the Vegas time line and won't play on some video players properly (looks like it stutters).
I fixed the movie file header in the clips to make it work and it is such a beautiful thing! :)

Hope this info helps if anyone in the future needs it.
