Vegas and DVCPRO HD

In another thread, Jan suggested we contact Sony and stress our desire to have Vegas support DVCPRO HD by the time the HVX is shipping. I just started a thread over at Sony Forums, since no one has addressed this issue there. Maybe if we ALL weigh in now, they will commit to it early rather than see a wholesale rebellion as version 6 hits the streets. At least we each have $200 worth of leverage now.

Also, this one looked interesting about doing a 60i to 24p conversion in v6.

So everyone please get busy and make our voices heard!!! Post counts are what gets the attention of the techie over there.
 
..nah.. just throw another tree off.. but write "sony" on it first.. lol

..better yet , just send me an egg and ill drive by and chuck it in the window, and hopefully not hit any of my freinds..

vegas is pretty tops for adding support though. id be flabberghasted if they didnt add it.
 
I swear . . With you guys wanting more and more high end capabilities from Vegas, I look at my newly acquired DVX and say to my self, "Should I have only but waited a little longer?" Mayaps then I would have gotten the RIGHT camera. I am jesting of course, I have only had my DVX for a few weeks, haven't shot anything more than test footage with it (to be honest, the damn thing almost requires a technical degree to fully understand how to get the most from it, which, by the way is a good thing), and since I was a GL2 user, I thought I knew what I was doing. Wrong on that one. One thing I have found is the DVX is far less forgiving in such things as presets and automation (as I now know they should be), and since joining and reading the many posts here, I am not only satisfied, but more than confident in my purchase.

Now with this particular camera, there are a lot of things one needs to understand which are usually reserved and more associated with photography, but I think that is one of the most selling points of the DVX. I am by no means an expert with it, but as I visit here many times a day, ask questions that are answered with speed, knowledge, and the true desire to inform, I am yet again affirmed with my choice to buy one.

Seriously, since coming to this forum, I was surprised beyond words to find so many people who use, swear by, and enjoy Vegas. I have not upgraded since 4, and to be honest, I had used Vegas primarily because of its native audio friendliness (my primary work thus far has been in After Effects tweaking already shot material and more mainly, sound design), and because Premiere is . . . 'nuff said.

And to think, all this time I was using Vegas mostly for its audio end. Feel free to kick me.


Great camera, even better board. Thanks all.
 
It will be nice to have Vegas support HVX200 HD. Will it happen soon enough? I really do not know.

My fear is that each use will end up with the following question: To whom are you committed more? To Vegas or to HVX200? Maybe I am wrong; I am very new after all :)

The answer to that is easy. Neither. I'm committed to the movies I make, not the tools I use to do it with.
 
It'll be great to have the support, but I'll wager a lot of nickels that it won't unless you acquire the codec from somewhere else. Lotsa variables there; few of them Sony's. If you have the codec, Vegas will read/write to it.

That's a lovely artistic attitude, but at the end of the day you still need a camera and an editing solution. If they don't work together, that isn't good news. :(

Why would it not, Spot? I know there might be stuff you can't talk about, but in general?

My assumption is that it's because Sony bought Vegas and they have a rather large stake in the success of HDV.
 
No one is going to buy a different camera because the NLE they have doesn't support what they want. And vice-versa.

If Sony doesn't make/obtain a codec for it, people will move to another NLE, not buy the Sony camera instead. All they'll do is *lose* customers, not gain them.
 
I'm not supporting Sony's attitude at all; just saying that they're notorious for doing that kind of thing.
 
All of which is looking at it backwards, anyway. If Panasonic comes out with a prosumer HD cam, they'd better make sure us prosumers have some way of editing the footage. If Vegas needs a codec, Panasonic really should provide one, not Sony.

Jarred did just that, moved to FCP for a moment, but came back to vegas after a week. We all need to pray to the sony gods to get it to work.
