Does Vegas support the EX1?
Does Sony Vegas support editing the files from the upcoming EX1 camera?
If not, are there workarounds like conversions or the use of cineform or something of the kind? Thanks! |
Vegas does support the full 1920 x 1080 stream. Already.
Workflow is thus: SxS card in computer or card reader, Xfer files to HDD. Open HDD in Vegas Explorer, start editing. |
Sony makes both products, one would hope they could get them to work together properly.

Vegas supported the EX before the EX was even born. Yes, the MP4 has to be converted to MXF, but it's done on the fly during the Xfer. Xfer is about 4:1, with realtime re-wrap. In other words, an hour of media from the SxS card takes about 15 mins to Xfer including re-wrap. Xfer without the re-wrap takes about 14 mins or so. Vegas reads the files at 1920x1080. |

I'll stand by with what I said that the way you explained this was very, refreshingly simple for me to understand. Thank you. More please Douglas! Grazie |

Conversion is done with the browsing software. Figure approx 15 mins for 1 hour footage, including the re-wrap.

DSE, thanks!

This information is very improtant to me as I am seriously looking at these new cameras. Of course, I use Vegas (v7.0 at this time, but will upgrade if it does not support the formats). I will wait for the z7 low light real world feedback and would like to decide if to get w/c one would suit me better. It's just that the 1/2" of EX1 is very appealing. I have not worked with such files so I want to be sure that it will work with my NLE. Thanks again, Douglas. If there are any other caveats we should be aware, let us know. :-) |
This article might be of some help to you. It covers the entire Vegas/XDCAM EX workflow.

Workflow explained
I can't seem to get my EX1 files into vegas pro 8 timeline without first opening clip browser and exporting as mxf.
How does Vegas pro 8 do it "on the fly." Here's what i'm doing,record footage,plug cam,via usb into pc,open up "my computer",i now hav 2 more drives,(cam drives),copy BAPV to "my documents",>"my videos",unplug cam.Now i can view these files in clip browser but not in vegas,when i "import" i can see the files/folders but can't open them.Am i doing it wrong ? Please could you explain it step by step. I tried to go on the link on your post but it just takes me to a blank page on your site. Many thanks,Paul. |
Sussed it,found this.
