File compatibilty woth Sony Vegas

Need to get HDV files captured and edited in FCP 6 to a client using Sony Vegas. What are my best options to ensure maximum compatibility?
Any ideas.

Look at the SHEER codecs. Cross platform, lossless quality...but cost a little:

Other options would be to export out as ANIMATION codec, or Photo-Jpeg at 75%....but that makes HUGE files.
BAsic rule of NLE editing...capture on the system you will be editing with.
Barring that, SHEER is a great option.

Sony Vegas Metadata and File tagging?

Howdy! I used to use Sony Vegas on the PC and have made the switch to FCP. Im liking all that I see but there was one feature that was great in vegas that i can’t find in FCP. It was the ability to tag your clips eg “falls” “Dave” “Bride” “Somersault” and use the tags to recall the relevant clips.
This was great when making wedding videos for example and you just wanted to quickly find all the clips that had the Bride in it.
Is there something like this via a plug in program or otherwise that can be done in FCP7 or is this done by the naming of files? If so does anyone have a good simple workflow for naming of the files?
Ta!

You can name the clips in the browser. You can add comments to any number of multiple columns in the browser. The browser is a searchable database. Once the information is input just press Cmd-F to bring up the find function, enter what you want and press Find All. Is this the kind of thing you mean?

Importing .sfk Sony Vegas files

Hello,
My friends recently recorded at a studio at which they were using Sony Vegas 9. I have the .sfk files and I have all the .wav files from all the takes. Rather than try to puzzle together the takes from 14 songs, I was hoping there is a way to import the .sfk files... but I can't seem to find anything about it. Has anyone done this before?

Thanks. I haven't had an opportunity to fully play around and see what is there, but a quick look is worrying. There are about 1,000 wav files and although they are named for what mic they represent (ie: bass, right tom etc), the rest of the file is just a default numbering scheme that doesn't seem to relate to anything other than in which order that file was recorded. I was hoping I could import his sfk files and have the times for where the edits are.
That sounds like an impossible task as the sfk files don't contain that kind of info, it's just data for a graphic rendition of the wav file.
Question... are the wav files at least separated by song.. a folder that holds all the files to song1, song2 etc...?
If so import all of the files to one song, select all files (Apple key + A) then under the regions menu select "move regions to original record position".

Will opening a file with Sony Vegas make the SD card unreadable in FCP?

We record events on campus with a Panasonic AG-HMC40P. Our office uses Final Cut Pro to edit the files, however one of our staff used his copy of Sony Vegas to edit an event he recorded. Now the card is not readable through FCP. Did using another editing suite cause the problem?

Only if Sony Vegas "writes" to the card, which is a huge problem and shouldn't happen.

Capturing video into Sony Vegas and s video doesn't funct

I can capture video from a DVD player through the ZS2 by feeding through the composite cables, but not s video. Feeding into the firewire port with a digital video camera works fine. However, I have to capture into Ulead, then move the clips into Sony Vegas where I want to edit. If I try to capture directly into Vegas there is some conflict keeping the program from loading, or it locks up the computer and I have to shut off the computer to get out. Also, I can't find what the cmss button is for.

Hi,
To capture video using the A2 VE you'll need to use Ulead to do the initial capture. Once done and the video is on the PC you can then use your preferred Video creation tools to manipulate the file(s).
Hope this hel

How does Sony Vegas Pro 12 compare to Premiere Pro CS6?

About 2 months ago, I purchased Premiere Pro CS6 retail box version from Best Buy. With everything going to the CC, I can't get upgrades unless I join the CC. This is NOT something I want to do! I would like to know if the chroma keying and image stabilization in Sony Vegas pro 12 are just as good or similar to Premiere Pro? I already read about how to transfer the product license on the Adobe website. If I decide to make the switch, I will list my Premiere Pro on Ebay. Another reason why I may want to get Vegas Pro is because I found out about the AVCHD bug in Premiere AFTER I purchased it. It has been over a year and Adobe has still not fixed the bug. I have a feeling they will never fix the bug because of the new CC vesion. I am currently about half way through the classroom in a book from Adobe and have not yet edited any of my own videos. My video camera is a Canon Vixia HF S20 and my computer is a new Dell XPS 8500 with Core i7 and 12 GB of ram. Just a bit frustrated on what to do. If I can't sell my Premiere Pro for a good enough price, I will keep it and switch to Vegas or some other program after it becomes obsolete.

You can download a fully functional demo of Sony Vegas 12 Pro. That's what I did. So far I like it and will be making the switch to Sony Vegas 12 Pro.
They also have Suite version which include HitFilm 2 Ulimate. This program is like After Effects. I haven't started playing with that yet.
Also, there is Movie Studio 12 Platinum Visual Effects Suite 2. That's a mouth full. Anyhow, it is based on Sony Vegas 12 and it comes with HitFilm 2 Express. The Express version is a stripped down version of HitFilm 2 Ulimate. The Express version is still a great program for adding effects. For some people Movie Studio 12 is all they will need,
Both version, Vegas and Movie Studio, have GPU acceleration which is really nice.
I also just picked up Corel PaintShop Pro X5 Ultimate. It sells for $69.95 and it can open and save .PSD files. So I don't have to worry about all of the .PSD files I saved in Photoshop
Right now I have CS5 and CS6. Premiere CS6 has a lot of bug, the AVCHD spanning clips, slow motion that jitters, caching problem, slower exports, etc.

QT 7.6.9 incompatible with Sony Vegas, 7.6 is (???)

When I install 7.6.9 on my Windows 7 machine, Sony Vegas 8.0b imports MP4 / mov files with the video black and the audio present. When I downgrade to 7.6, everything works fine.
Does anyone have any idea why? Is Apple aware of this? Is there any way to report the problem to them? Obviously some change they made broke the compatibility...

This would be Sony's problem to fix, not Apple's, and given that Vegas 8.x is now two major releases and a couple of years old (and probably not even certified for Windows 7), I very much doubt that Sony will do anything about it other than to tell you to upgrade to the new version of Vegas. You can try updating to 8.0c and see if that would help, but otherwise, you'll probably need to either purchase the new version of Vegas or stay with an older version of QuickTime.
Regards.

MTS- Sony Vegas- FCP

I have a client who has HD footage that was shot as MTS. He's done his editing in Sony Vegas and he's ready to export his video. I will then integrate that video into a 720p60 timeline in Final Cut Pro. What would be his best export setting for me to then use in FCP? I realize I might have go to Compressor to convert it but I'm unfamiliar with Vegas and I don't know what to tell him. Also, I don't want his render to be uncompressed. It'll be way to big. What would be an Apple ProRes-like export codec for him to use out of Vegas?

Sony Vegas reads ProRes files. QT for PC must be installed first, if it is not already there.
[Edit] Sorry, read the OP incorrectly. Render to MXF 422 35 mbps in Vegas. This format imports well into FCP. A free importer from Sony is required in FCP however. Google will find it for you if you do not already have it.

Can Sony Vegas 7 edit the MPEG4 video files recorded from 5th gen nano, or does it need a plugin?

Moving From Sony Vegas

I am moving from Sony Vegas to FCP so I have some Vegas files that I need to render to use in FCP. Can I get some advice on what file type and compression settings I should use to render at?

I have around 15 tapes from my old Pana GS400 (DV PAL 16:9) captured with Vegas and they are AVI files.
I have had no problem using them in FCP 5.14 and FCP 7.
The first time I imported them FCP said something about that they whore not "optimized" or something like that.
I just clicked "don´t show this message again" and all was fine and no need to renderer them.
Cheers

Sony vegas - quicktime error

im trying to import a .mov file into sony vegas so i can edit it but when i try to, a pop up says "the sony quicktime plugin was not able to initialize the quciktime components on your system. it appears that quicktime for windows was not properly installed"
so i reinstalled the latest version of quicktime, but the error still pops up. does anyone know what i can do to fix this?

I don't know if this helps, but my NLE software (not Vegas), refused to do the same when I had installed QT 7.1.3.
I un-installed QT and went back to version 7.1 and all was well.

Adobe Bridge CS6 (Mac) won't open .arw files from my Sony RX100. How do I get and install the right version of Camera Raw?

Adobe Bridge CS6 (Mac) won't open .arw files from my Sony RX100. I was told to update Camera Raw to at least 7.2. I tried to download this but got a DNG Converter instead. Where is Camera Raw? (it does not show up in a search of my hard drive. There is a folder of camera profiles but no extension or plug-in with this name). How do I find out what version I have already? How do I get the correct version? . . . OR . . . is it the case that Bridge will never open Sony raw files directly and I will have to do a separate conversion process every time I want to use a raw file??. Can someone explain this?
Thanks.

Importing a project from Sony Vegas

I'm trying to import a project that was initially edited in Sony Vegas to do audio and color correction in Final Cut. Apart from rendering the project out to an HDV tape, and re-importing it into Final Cut through Log and Capture, what is the best methodology so as to retain the most data for timelines, etc.
We can even go so far as to have the original hard drives, but I just can't fathom how to migrate into final cut.
Suggestions?

The back to tape method sounds good. Otherwise using flip4mac to import an intermediate AVI's is also good.
Does Vegas export EDL's ?
