Codec-install question

Well, Stewart, reading the VP12 Import options:Support for RAW photo files SCS says:-

“Use RAW photo files in your Vegas projects. Download the Microsoft Camera Codec Pack for Windows 7 and Windows Vista to view and edit RAW photo files from more than 120 DSLR cameras natively on the Vegas Pro timeline.“

You fancy doing that? We need a Guinea-Pig! – I’m tempted to leave well alone and use Corel or Picassa to convert.

What are you trying to achieve that you need Vegas to do this heavy lifting anyway?

Stewart,

Before you try any codec pack take an image of your system disc.
OK a restore point will help, but an image is always a failsafe. If things really go wrong you are up and running in around 20 minutes or so.

Please let us know how you get on with the codec pack.

Grazie,

Thanks for the pointer for the MS stuff – I missed this completely. I am happier to take a chance with MS stuff.

I am working with RAW files more and more recently – between my own camera and files that I get from others, so wanted to be able to work with them natively. My photo-editing applications are on the same machine as VP, and I was more concerned with the potential pollution of Vegas

Geoff’s advice re the system image is good – I am doing that now, and will post an update when done.

Thanks again for all the info.

Stewart

[Graham Bernard]

Well done – and you’re welcome.

Interested to hear your experience with this.

So far, so good.

Created the necessary backups, installed the pack, am now able to use the raw files in paint.net, and they show thumbnails in Windows explorer.

Will work away as usual and watch rendering.

Thanks again everybody for the advice.

[Bob Peterson]

I installed these many moons ago. Although I have not installed the latest, I have never seen any problem whatsoever in Vegas. Bear in mind that raw files in my world are not video files, and the chances that Vegas has a codec to read the raw file from a Canon 5D Mark III are probably somewhere between “ain’t going to happen” and “No way”.

[Stephen Mann]

I install the MS Photo Codec pack on all of my workstations. Not only does it provide thumbnails for my Canon RAW images, many video formats present a thumbnail as well.

I too also recommend installing the Microsoft Camera Codec pack.

Steve, which of these 2 files do I install? I have Win7 64bit and VP12. I see that there is a refernce to “AMD” in the 64bit. My CPU is INTEL.

Cheers
