  Finalcut XDCam MOV into Vegas

  Posted by Matthew Beall on January 14, 2010 at 6:39 pm

  I have two Finalcut XDCam EX Quicktime MOVs that I need to use in Vegas.. Will Vegas import the files ok, or do I need a codec or something?

  My guess is “no”, since the Windows version of QuickTime is a crippled “light” version of the real thing that lacks most of the professional codecs needed to make a Mac play nice with a PC, but I’ve never tried QT XDCAM so…

  Did you try it? Did it work?!

  I tried it and it didn’t work.. If the XDCam footage was in MXF format I believe it would load (that is what format Vegas captures XDCam footage in)..

  Finalcut captures XDCam straight into a MOV file, providing headaches for the rest of the world..

  In the end I got it to work by using this intermediary codec:

  Expensive but worth it..
