MXF questions
I've been scouring the forum and web in general to find some answers about mxf but coming up short. It seems that .mxf is a container format. Insomuch as that, is it correct to assume that footage rendered to mxf from cannon t21, 7d etc, (QT .h264) -- will retain it's same color space, bit depth, etc? If so, it seems that .mxf would not be a good choice for color correction.
On the other hand, the .mxf template: HD 422-1920x1080 24p 50mbps -- seems like an excellent high quality choice for color correction. But is this codec 10bit? Does it expand the color space? Does '422' in the template name = 4:2:2? Does ANYONE know? I've searched everywhere and cant find the info. Any help would be appreciated -- |
-Anybody?!

James, check out the rather lengthy XDCAM vs CINEFORM quality thread on the Sony Vegas Pro forum.
I'm sure you'll find the answers you're looking for. |
Thanks Mike -- this is exactly the info I was looking for --

MXF and Vegas HD Platinum 10 Suite
I'm interested in the forthcoming Canon XF100 camcorder which uses MXF MPEG2 files. I am also tempted to upgrade my Vegas Studio 8 Platinum to Vegas Movie Studio HD Platinum 10 Production Suite. I've checked through the sonycreative site and can't see MXF mentioned in HD Platinum 10 suite specs so I assume it can't capture MXF files. Does anyone know of a relatively straightforward workaround/recommended conversion format that wouldn't degrade image quality? Perhaps I should be looking beyond HD Platinum 10 suite for some something more sophisticated. Thanks for any advice on this.

Sorry. Just looked at Mike's link above and it seems I have an awful lot of reading to do abiut MXF files and Vegas.
