  Davinci > Vegas Pro – which mxf format?

  Posted by Marcel Steuermann on November 20, 2013 at 7:53 pm

  Hi everyone,

  I just tried out several mxf-formats of the Davinci 10 deliver section for creating a roundtrip with vegas.

  Surprisingly I had to find out that none of the MXFs are working when reimported into Vegas Pro. I know that quite a few people use that format, also for roundtripping, and so I wonder where the problem is.

  Most of all I was surprised that the MXF XDCAM MPEG 2 file was simply not accepted by Vegas when I tried to import it into the project manager.

  The MXF Sony MPEG4 422 (all versions) didn´t work as well. I could import them, but the thumbnail and the preview, when on timeline, simply show pure dark green. So Sony is not working in Sony Vegas Pro???

  So what´s wrong? Is my system missing some codecs maybe?

  Thank you very much for your help or explainations.

  I know Vegas is happy with DNxHD so that might be a way forward.

  Thanks Michael,

  unfortunately Sony Vegas, or at least MY Sony Vegas, does not accept the DnxHD mxf files created by DV. It simply doesn´t import it. Am I the only one?

  For creating a vegas-DV-roundtrip, I already tried the DnxHd in movs, but Sony Vegas, or at least MY bloody Sony Vegas, stopped handling these movs (like rewrapped movs or cineformHD movs etc…) when the File I/O surrogate.exe reaches approx. 800.000 k. Apparently a common problem for some Vegas users regarding certain older threads. Furthermore, I know that some users can use DnxHD movs in Vegas!

  A nerve wrecking subject for me…any new ideas for Sony-DV-workflow? Thanks!
