Vegas 10 rocks with DSLR mov on timeline...
 

Finally the day has come.. i dragged several raw clips straight from the 5D2/7D and edited a 4min clip with some transistions, CC fx, grouped events, one sound track and one voice over. Took me 6.5min to render it to 720 25p. I'm not sure if CUDA is helping here as I have the GTX260 which is CUDA. JetDV's newsletter had a video encode option but my V10 trial didnt have that under AVC render settings.

Anyway, it is AWESOME.

More tests to be done on my Alien laptop and Macbook Pro.

Yeah, I was up til 4 am playing with footage straight from my 7d on the Vegas 10 timeline. And I'm very happy. Sony did a fantastic job with 10. No stutter, full-frame playback on my secondary monitor - a 32" Sony Bravia. This was my dream just 4 or 5 years ago - hassle-free editing of 1080p footage on a big HD monitor in Sony Vegas. So so nice.

And it bears repeating - the Canon DSLRs produce the most beautiful, film-like image. I much prefer it to 16mm film, actually.

32"!! That is my targeted setup in 3mths time. Thks for the inputs.

And check out this trailer for Tiny Furniture - feature shot on the Canon 7D that won the jury prize at the South By Southwest Film Fest:
