Hi, I am really excited about the 4K camcorders to say the least. My concern is about workflow in VegasI I normally burn to DVD, but I haven't seen anyone's workflow and/or results with burning to DVD using the 4K XAVC S format. I would like to know what workflow is being used to achieve great results with these camcorders. In addition, what is needed for editing XAVC S in terms of a workstation? I'd like to add that I'm currently using Vegas Pro 9.0, I do realize that I would need to step up to Vegas 13 for starters. Thanks in advance for all your help. Ray

Hi, Just came across this awesome article to share with all;
http://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/getting_on_board_with_the_4K_revolution
This really explains a lot in regards to workflow with 4K. Now, is my computer able to handle it? I really like the fact that Vegas Pro 12 has a new proxy feature as explained in the article, so hopefully my current workstation can handle everything. Now the big question "if possible" is how to get close to 4K clarity to DVD? Please chime in your thoughts and suggestions. Thanks, Ray

OMG, I just read that article. And I found that proxy feature. It's not only super simple and quick but also the smartest way to work I've ever seen. No need to replace proxies for the high res clips and no issues when saving the project. Just switching the preview quality affects which files are being used.
THis is so damn good for cameras like the canon 1DC at 4K.
How could I have missed this?
 
Download the trial version of v13 and try it - as far as I know, it includes all features and is only time-restricted.
