Vegas

[Gbabymogul]

He's also been working on a directshow (avi) version for quite some time, but no release date yet.

When I actually install Vegas 8, I plan on downloading the free trial and seeing if Vegas sees it as 10bit.

Yup, could be good.

How does it deal with metadata ?

I'd be really interested to see how it plays with Vegas and the kind of results you get...

The 32 floating YcBr that speedgrade is working on is redcode, so ouputting from redcine that format and conforming and cg would get you a very high end solution for a lot less $ (if you don't need 2K/4K editing and monitoring). And if you wanted to, you could go film out from speedgrade pretty easily.

Lut preview on set, stills to editorial and premarketing, production and post story board use to conform and cg of 32 redcode ... this would be perfect for personal indies to a financed flick. Just a few questions to answer.

I'd still like anyone to post what their workflow is or want for Vegas. More choices = custom quality.

:biggrin:

You do realize??? CineForm works actively with said companies?

i have sheer - last time i tried it was in Vegas 7 and it crashed - ( haven't tried it in V8 ) ... but even if it didn't crash Vegas would ony be able to output 8 bit with sheer ... same with microcosm's 16bit codec - Vegas can only output 2k 8 bit using it - AE can output 16 bit per channel using microcosm codec ... FCP can playback sheer files in RT ...
i'm not getting 10 bit using cineform codec in V8 ...

David said 10bit cineform is not yet supported in Vegas 8. Don't know about sheer yet. Vegas 8 supports directshow codecs now, so in theory, >8bit via directshow should work.

It supports directshow now???

 

[Joe Carney]

I thought it did, are you saying it doesn't?

more..
I just called sony support and they don't support directshow. Don't know where I got that from.
So.. it's still 8bit only as far as external codecs go. Which means I wasted money on an upgrade.
My Bad, I should have understood their "codecs" supported information better.

Maybe I can get my money back. If not, Ces't la vie.

Now, I have to determine if I'm moving to Adobe or FCP. I'm leaning toward Adobe.

Since I have new uninstalled Vegas 8 and AcidPro 6, I'll see what I can get on Ebay.

Note...I can still use Vegas 7/SoundForge 8 for surround mixing and basic hdv editing.
