Okay, novice needs help from you guys/gals.....
So I shoot the raw video on my 5D Mk II and then upload it to my computer. I am using Sony Vegas 9.0 as my NLE software. Obviously the RAW video is not user-friendly when dumped into Vegas 9.0. So thus comes the need to convert the RAW file to an .AVI file, etc. etc. Basically, if I understand it correctly, all NeoScene does is convert the RAW .mov file from the Canon codec into a user-friendly .AVI file for better playback and stability in your editing software, (???)
My question is: what advantage does using NeoScene to convert the raw footage to .AVI have, versus simply dragging the entire raw file into Vegas, then selecting what type of file I want to reder it as (AVI, WMV, MOV, etc.) and also selecting the frame rate I want to 'convert' the video to, and then once that file is created, drag it (the newly rendered file) back into Vegas for proper viewing / playback / editing ?
I hope this makes sense, but I'm trying to learn the justification for purchasing NeoScene to convert my raw Canon 5D files to a .AVI file, versus just saving the $ and doing the above-type conversion using Sony Vegas.
Is it a time, quality, functionality issue? Please explain. Newbie hoping to learn!
