  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Sony Vegas Support?

Glenn, they still use VFW, even in the 64bit version. Still no support for DirectShow. Maybe the upcoming SDK will allow for something better, at least I hope so. But DX10 support would be cool too. Import and take advantage of DPX and full support for OpenEXR would be nice. R3d support would be probably asking too much. There is so much that is great about Vegas, it's just so many continuing issues that never seem to get addressed.

Personally I think they should just implement a 1-point motion tracker with good control of panning the image around. These features are in AE and they work fast and pretty darn well. Optical flow approaches are a waste of time IMO (e.g. Smoothcam). Anyways I digress..

Glenn, perhaps some of the offerings from Boris could help with this?

I spoke with a Sony representative at IBC abot +8bits I/O in VEgas. He told me they are working on that but that their priority is to be able to run VEgas at 64bits OS.
So i guess we´ll have to wait for VEgas 9.0...

They have native support for 10bit 4:2:2 via an AJA derived codec, but no third party stuff as of yet. drat.
 
You could capture and print a 10bit signal with an AJA card (still this needs to be proven, but i haven´t figured out yet how to measure a real -non interpolated- bit depth in a SDI output), but no I/O files beyond 8bit limit.
 
BTW i´m so happy now that the KONA LHe card can be used in XP using bootcamp by installing the Xena drivers.
No more QT gamma issues. It works with premiere and Vegas. As well as FCP and AE in Mac mode. This is a great development since you can now have all workflow solutions under ONLY 1 machine.
 
With the 64 bit 8.1 Vegas and .r3d It looks like a great combo. I have used Vegas since the days of my youth. Well maybe not youth, but it never crashed and I got my television productions done in a breeze. Sony has a bit more to do with 8.1 being as stable as the 32 bit 8.0. If I can find a good workflow into Vegas I am putting a deposit on the RED Camera. But I am still looking for a good stable workflow. Should I take the chance that it will come?
 
They are still working on releasing their file sdk. I'm hoping the talks between them and cineform work out too (full 10bit/4K support). With cineform, you would have not only RED, but lots of other cameras supported.

Vegas will read and write standard FOURCC/v210 packed video (10-bit 4:2:2 YCrCb) avi files according to emails I exchanged with them. But you are talking very large file sizes for 1080p editing.

You can go to http://fourcc.org to get more info. Click on the yuv option then v210. There are also links to other sites for downloading various codecs.
